HCC GPU Launched.

[OldChap]

Lifted straight from WCG forums http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/fo...3962_offset,90

Back to an earlier question in this thread. Has anyone successfully used an app_info.xml to run more than one HCC GPU task at a time?

Yup, on my GTX560Ti 448 setting the thing to run 2 units at the same time will slowly converge to the situation you describe after around 3-4 units and then stays there. It alternates each unit between CPU and GPU so that both are always fully utilized. It essentially doubles the crunching speed - pretty awesome - but runs hotter.

The following is provided as-is, no guarantees that it will not make your GPU explode, burn your cat, kill your wife etc.:

Perhaps one of you clever b'tards would like to explain what this is and where to put it ???

I am thinking that this will mean that for me the 1m 20s that the GPU is idle out of each 3m 30 wu would be recovered and worked....It may even take the GPU to 100% utilisation

Double points???? 140% at least.....surely!
