Hello there,

I am currently running WCG and GPUGRID on BOINC (Win7), and I would like to know if it was possible to only have 7 threads assigned to WCG and one dedicated to GPUGRID (so basically 7+1).

At the moment, BOINC is running 8 WCG WU + GPUGRID (so 8+1).

I tried messing up with ncpus settings in cc_config but boinc simply ignore it.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Set the amount of CPUs that BOINC can use to one less. You do that with the "On multiprocessors, use at most X% of the processors" setting.

If you have 8 CPUs and you want to use only 7, then set to use 7 x 12.5 = 87.5%. The one CPU excluded from being used by BOINC now will be used exclusively to do work for the GPU plus whatever non-BOINC programs want to use it.

I tried messing up with ncpus settings in cc_config but boinc simply ignore it.

And glad too.. why mess with cc_config.xml, when it's a normal option in your preferences?

Hi!

Thank you very much for the prompt answer.

Well I did mess with cc_config because I (wrongly) believed that setting up preference to 87.5% would get me 8+0 instead of 7+1.

Thanks again :) Everything is good now!
