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!

If I'm reading that right the key part is this:

Code:
<coproc>
   <type>CUDA</type>
   <count>0.5000000</count>
</coproc>
That's telling it that any of the WUs that fall into the categories listed above only need half of the CUDA coprocessor - aka 0.5 GPUs. That allows BOINC to overschedule the GPU and just let's the card take care of it - which it actually does a pretty good job of.

I might be wrong though, just skimmed over it in 20 seconds cuz I gotta run to lab now. I'll dig into more depth asap.

Until then someone get to putting a chart together for the GPUs - I need to start planning my christmas list!!!
