Folks. I am running several projects in BOINC and only have one GPU. Several of my programs require GPU's it seems so I can only one run at a time. I do have a 6 core processor. Is it possible to crunch numbers for this project with just 1 CPU and no GPU?

I can't seem to find the project settings to tell the project to send me work that does not require a GPU. Am I missing something. I can't do it through the BOINC Manager so I assume it's at this end.

Mike.

You can find those options at 'Your account' .. 'Preferences' ... 'Preferences for this project' : http://asteroidsathome.net/boinc/prefs.php?subset=project

It is possible to save different settings for four different locations. Then you could choose the current location (settings) for every host individually:
http://asteroidsathome.net/boinc/hosts_user.php ... Computer ID .. Details ... Location.

After you make changes on the settings just hit "Update" for the project in BOINC Manager. Then the changes will apply.
