1) Message boards : Number crunching : Can I reduce the GPU resource usage from "0.01 CPUs + 1 NVIDIA GPU" to "..0.8 NVDIA GPU” ? (Message 5076) Posted 1 Dec 2016 by JugNut Post: The PC I used to test this for you runs Win7 Ult x64 & boinc v7.6.22 http://asteroidsathome.net/boinc/results.php?hostid=64493&offset=0&show_names=0&state=4&appid= I'm not sure exactly what you are doing wrong. But good luck anyway.

(Message 5074) Posted 1 Dec 2016 by JugNut Post: It definitely works I have two instances running on the GPU as I type this post using the above app_config.xml 1 Copy the the app_config as posted below and paste it into notepad then save the file as app_config.xml in C:\ProgramData\BOINC\projects\asteroidsathome.net_boinc\ change C: for D: ect if you installed boinc to a differant drive Also make sure it's NOT saved as a app_config.txt or app_config.xml.txt <app_config> <app> <name>period_search</name> <gpu_versions> <gpu_usage>0.5</gpu_usage> <cpu_usage>1</cpu_usage> </gpu_versions> </app> </app_config> 2. When back in boinc manager click on the Options menu, then click on "read config files" A few seconds later it should start running 2 instances on 1 GPU or 4 instances if you have 2 GPU's ect. Note: If your looking for the folder but can't find it it's because C:\ProgramData\ is a windows hidden folder. An easy way to get there is by using a keyboard shortcut. Just press the "windows key + R" together and copy the folder path noted in step 1 into the run box that appears and click OK. That will take you to the right folder for any further editing.

(Message 5069) Posted 30 Nov 2016 by JugNut Post: Hi Cliff, there is no point in running more than one instance at a time here at asteroids. The app uses 100% of any GPU so it's already fully utilised so no gain can be made from running more than one instance at a time and may actually decrease your overall output not to mention the extra screen lag it could cause. But this will work to run 2 WU's at once if you'd like to try. <app_config> <app> <name>period_search</name> <gpu_versions> <gpu_usage>0.5</gpu_usage> <cpu_usage>1</cpu_usage> </gpu_versions> </app> </app_config>
4) Message boards : Problems and bug reports : How to add more computers to a account (Message 4614) Posted 2 Sep 2015 by JugNut Post: There's another way to attach a second or third etc PC using the authenticator method. As long as you have one PC already successfully attached then.. 1) Go to that PC and copy the file called "account_asteroidsathome.net_boinc.xml" from C:\ProgramData\Boinc\account_asteroidsathome.net_boinc.xml 2) Then paste that file to the next PC that you would like attached in the same position as above. 3) Restart Boinc. That's it. Boinc will then try to automatically attach during start up. 4) repeat on each PC you want attached. Doing it this way you know the information is exactly the same on each PC as it was on the first. This way it uses the authenticator instead of username/password An even easier way would be to use an account manager such as BAM to do much of the attaching work for you.

5) Message boards : Number crunching : Still no ATI GPU app? (Message 4607) Posted 31 Aug 2015 by JugNut Post: Well, it looks like there is no progress for AMD GPU. As I wrote I can't program for AMD GPU and everyone offering programming the app haven't write me on any progress since that so I suppose that no one is currently working on it. That's bad news but thanks anyway Kyong :( Anyone else have the required skills???

There's been an AMD GPU app mentioned since way back when GPU support was first announced. So can you give us some details on how close to release you are? Or more to the point is AMD GPU support still being worked on at all? Thanks for your time.
