GPU only work units.

Dear crunchers!
Any idea if it possible to configure profile or WCG agent to receive only work units for GPU (OpenPandemics)?

Re: GPU only work units.

I've found a workaround:

Enable OpenPandemics, and also enable GPU use.

Enable some other BOINC project that does not yet have GPU workunits and is not on World Community Grid.

Give the two about equal shares of time on your computer., much higher than any other BOINC project that has GPU tasks available.

Expect a few OpenPandemics CPU tasks at first, gradually switching to GPU tasks only.

Re: GPU only work units.

Yes, it is possible. At least if an intel GPU is not the only GPU on the machine. I have a machine with an intel and nvidia GPU setup to just run GPU units.

Check the box beside "OpenPandemics - COVID-19" under "Available Projects"
Uncheck "If there is no work available for the project(s) I have selected above, please send me work from another project." under "Available Projects"
Set "Allow research to run on my CPU?" to No

under "Graphics Card Usage"
Set "Do work on my graphics card while computer is in use?" to Yes
Set "Use my AMD/ATI graphics card if possible": to Yes
Set "Use my Intel graphics card if possible": to Yes
Set "Use my NVIDIA graphics card if possible": to Yes

Set "OpenPandemics - COVID-19" under "Project Limits" to however many you want to have at a time.
