hi, I am completely new to this project, and I have a technical question:
with some other projects I have participated in the past up to now, I have crunched 2 GPU tasks concurrently, by creating an app_config.xml with the following content (this is for the OPNG tasks from Word Community Grid):

<app_config>
<app>
<name>opng</name>
<gpu_versions>
<gpu_usage>0.5</gpu_usage>
<cpu_usage>1.00</cpu_usage>
</gpu_versions>
</app>
</app_config>

I now tried the same, and instead the app name "opng" I used "ps_240103".
However, this did not work. After applying the app_config_xml, still only 1 task was crunched at a time.
Can anyone tell me which name I need to use (instead of "ps_240103")?

I tried using this configuration file. It didn't work for me. Has anyone gotten to run two work units on one gpu?

The Configuration File is good. It's just that the name line is incorrect
<name>opng</name>

Change this line to
<name>period_search</name>

If that's not correct then it could be something else

The name used is irrelevant at first.
If you use an incorrect one, BOINC will tell you the ones it knows about, and then you can choose (or try until you find) the correct one.
Greetings, Jens
