Isn't each section either GPU or CPU? -----Original Message----- From: boinc_dev [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Stephen Maclagan Sent: Saturday, July 26, 2014 5:30 AM To: David Anderson; BOINC Developers Mailing List; Valter Cavecchia Subject: Re: [boinc_dev] [boinc_projects] max_concurrent at a project scope
Very good, but it doesn't go far enough, you can't limit what just the CPU runs, ie the <app> level, <app_version> level or overall, you can limit overall the tasks an app name can run, ie four, and have two run on the GPU and two on the CPU, once the GPU tasks of that app name run out, you end up running more tasks on the CPU than you intended.
