    Now what.

    A major problem. I have 2 comuters running GPU Grid. 1 is a 4970K with 2 GTX 960 and 1 is a 3770K with 2 GTX 570. Both have been running 2 instances of
    GPU Grid without any problems. I have not changed anything and both have the same cc_config file. All of a sudden when I came down to check them I notice that both are only running 1 instance of GPU Grid. I have re-read the config file, re-booted both and looked at all the preferences. Nothing has changed. Is there something in GPU Grid that is changed to only allow 1 to run at a time?

    Re: Now what.

    Problem found now how do I solve it? I am running Malariacontrol on both computers. If I suspend it both GPU's start working. If I restart Malaria one GPU stops. Is there a way to run this project and still have both GPU's wirking?

    Re: Now what.

    What is the resource share set to on each project? Or limit the number of active malaria tasks so there's enough cpu resource for both gpugrid tasks.

    I see where Malaria is running on all 8 cores so that doesn't leave one for Grid. I have 32gb of 2133mhz memery in this one so I am sure I can limit the Malaria usage.

    Re: Now what.

    So, if you're using a relatively recent Boinc Client, 7.4.9 or newer according to the docs Wiki, the following app_config.xml should work:

    Code:
    <app_config>
      <project_max_concurrent>7</project_max_concurrent>
    </app_config>
    Just add it to the Malaria projects folder and reload config files. (Or restart BOINC.)

    That's what I needed. As usual Mumps comes through. Thanks.

    Re: Now what.

    And, if that one doesn't work, Malaria only really has two apps, openMalariaA and openMalariaB, plus the openMalariaBeta test app. Only one of which is normally active at any given time. So you could limit it with a bit more verbose app_config.xml if needed:

    Code:
    <app_config>
      <app>
        <name>openMalariaA</name>
          <max_concurrent>7</max_concurrent>
      </app>
      <app>
        <name>openMalariaB</name>
          <max_concurrent>7</max_concurrent>
      </app>
      <app>
        <name>openMalariaBeta</name>
          <max_concurrent>7</max_concurrent>
      </app>
    </app_config>
