Anyone Have An app_info For Poem?

[Mike029]

Looking to cut and paste your app_info so I can get my gpu to use more than measly 50%. Thanks,

http://www.setiusa.us/showthread.php...ll=1#post41769 see this thread and the explanations of slicker on this App and the changes he made. This is the one I was using before the simap challenge. Good luck Mike. Maybe Zombie is using it and maybe he made some changes on this App.

This will run 8 ATI WUs per GPU using 0.5 CPUs per WPU. Technically, the GPUs require 0.58 CPUs but I refuse to let a "GPU app" use more than half an i7's cores:

I'm seeing this error. I'm running Win 7 Ult. 64. Could that be the problem?

Here it goes Mike sorry for my bad knoledge of this thing.

Well Mike I tried to zip and download the file but it has 1.23 Mb that is more than the permited for this kind of file. I can send zip or unzipped for your email if you want. I just don't know how to do it in here but it is somewhere on Musketeers Forum. I will see and tell you later.

1. With no app_info.xml, attach to the project, and download at least one task. That will also get the application downloaded.
2. Quit BOINC
3. *Then* add the app_info.xml to the project directory. Make sure the app name in the app_info.xml matches the actual app name (downloaded in #1)
4. Start BOINC
5. The downloaded task will get removed, new apps will be downloaded, and crunching will begin.

...what zombie said.

An app_info expects you to already have all the files listed in it. It will not download any applications from the project, only the workunits. So, you either have to manually download the files from <project_url>/download (but you have to know which files are needed) or let BOINC do it by not using an app_info.xml until after it has downloaded everything it needs to run the project (much easier).

Got it running thanks for the help.

I have this running in my box with a x6 cpu and a 5970 and a 5870. I'm running 6 gpu wus and 1 cpu wu. I can't get the gpu to use more than 35 to 40% of the gpus. With the above configuration, my cpu usage sits at about 90 to 95%.

I've tried using .125 and I get no cpu tasks running, 8gpu wu's running on gpu0 6 running on gpu1 and none running on gpu2. CPU usage sits pinned at 100%.

Any suggestions?
Thanks.

If you're still looking for app_info suggestions I might be able to help.

Got it working fine. After the challenge is over I'll be switching back to Poem.
