Help Conquer Cancer app_info.xml files

[grathomp]

For those of you who are trying to crunch more than work unit at a time on WCG's now GPU project Help Conquer Cancer here are some app_info.xml files to help you to do so.

Do you have anything about "--device" parameter?

[grathomp]

No, sorry. I'm not familiar with that.

Do you have anything about "--device" parameter?

What is that in reference to? The double hash (--) is used to signify a command line option of a program like boinc.exe, but boinc.exe, boinccmd.exe nor boincmgr.exe use that option.

"-- device 0/1/2/3" is used in cmdline in app_info to select GPU, but I don't know - works it for HCC or not?

[Fire$torm]

Sorry but I'm at a loss on this one. Maybe post your question on the WCG forum (Here)

XS has a thread, where they have the app_info.xml files for many of the sub-projects at WCG. This allows you to combine GPU crunching for HCC, with other CPU sub-projects.

I started crunching this project again today after failing to get any more POEM tasks. I noticed the app_info I had no longer works because there is now a new version of Help Conquer Cancer. I have it working for AMD. Here it is.

I downloaded that app it run only three tasks but they are faster in deed the problem was that my computer received a message saying:
"This project doesn't support anonymous computers"

Can anyone tell me what is the problem and if I can fix this.

You have to run a app_config.xml file now at the WCG Project, something like this is working for me: It works for either ATI or NVIDIA Cards, adjust to fit your needs, .5 CPU & 8 WCG GPU Wu's works good for me on my 3770k CPU & 7970 GPU's
