    copy one from another project and just change the app names. 

    To get a list of app names put in an app name that is wrong and update the project. An error message will come back listing the applications.

      app configs have been posted many times, easily searched, but here's an example for Einstein. Note, I haven't run Gravity wave in a while, I think GW name is einstein_O3AS1 now.

       

      <app_config>
<app>
<name>einstein_O3ASE</name>
<gpu_versions>
<cpu_usage>1.0</cpu_usage>
<gpu_usage>1.0</gpu_usage>
</gpu_versions>
</app>
<app>
<name>hsgamma_FGRPB1G</name>
<gpu_versions>
<cpu_usage>1.0</cpu_usage>
<gpu_usage>0.33</gpu_usage>
</gpu_versions>
</app>
<report_results_immediately/>
</app_config>

       

      this will run 3x tasks per GPU.

      <gpu_usage>0.5</gpu_usage> would run 2 tasks per GPU

      <gpu_usage>0.25</gpu_usage> would run 4 tasks per GPU

      and so on.

         . . That is handy to know.  But won't an incorrect app name stop BOINC from processing that project??

          I copy that list putting it after the last xmlcode to give a reference list. I do change the name(s) to valid tasks. 

          If there are errors in that file it just runs with the defaults.

            No, it just won't use your app_config parameters you've set for that sub-project.  You will still process the tasks just with project default parameters.

            You can gain the app_name by examining the client_state.xml file. That is the true arbiter for the app_name for the subproject.

               . . Yes, all the app names will be in the client_state.xml file. One year away from S@H and I have forgotten so much ... :(

               . . Thanks everyone.

                 . . It looks like E@H fell into a black hole at 8:50am today :(

                 . . Maybe the E@H elves decided to defect over to Santa's workshop ... ???

                    i had some stuck uploads overnight and tasks to send was at 0 when I woke up, but everything appears to be working now.

                    nothing to do with nvidia though.

                       . . One of mine came good after the manual Kick-in-the-guts about 10 hours in. The other came good at midnight UTC.

                       . . Richard posted a link to a message from Berndt about their outage. Some hard drives bit the dust.
