    Re: How do you stop 1 gpu from crunching?

    I created a file called "cc_config.xml" with the following content

    <cc_config>
    <no_cpu>1</no_cpu>
    </cc_config>

    but nothing happens. It still uses 2 cores.

    Close, but not quite.

    So it should be
    Code:
    <cc_config> 
      <options>
        <ncpus>1</ncpus>
      </options>
    </cc_config>

    Act as if there were N CPUs; i.e. to simulate 2 CPUs on a machine that has only 1. To use the number of available CPUs, set the value to -1 (was 0 which in newer clients really means zero to e.g. only allow GPU computing).

    If you're using the BOINC manager, in advanced view, you can click on [Tools] [Computing Preferences], and under the "processor usage" tab, near the bottom of the form, change "on multiprocessor systems, use at most" to 50%.

    You can use prolasso assigning one of the cores to crunch and the other to make all the usual work of the computer. Prolasso is free. Why don't you take a look on it.
