Under the Account / Preferences / Project settings page there are selections to choose the hardware to employ:
Use CPU / Use NVIDIA GPU / Use AMD GPU / Use INTEL GPU, each with a YES or NO.
This is clear and makes perfect sense. However, further down is this section:
Run only the selected applications
Binary Radio Pulsar Search (Arecibo,GBT) (BRP4)
Binary Radio Pulsar Search (Arecibo,GBT,long) (BRP4G)
Binary Radio Pulsar Search (MeerKAT) (BRP7)
Gamma-ray pulsar search #5 (FGRP5)
Gamma-ray pulsar binary search #1 on GPUs (FGRPB1G)
All-Sky Gravitational Wave search on O3 (O3AS)
Multi-Directional Gravitational Wave search on O3 (GPU) (O3MDF)
Multi-Directional Gravitational Wave search on O3 (CPU) (O3MD1)
I recommend adding "GPU" to BRP7 (and O3AS?) for consistency, and double check to ensure all applications listed HERE are accurately denoted with Nvidia GPU and/or Intel GPU and or AMD GPU. Maybe also note "CPU Only" as appropriate, or perhaps that can be assumed as the default.
This clarification would then better follow the other settings above for choosing resources to employ.
I realize this info is available on the Applications page, but that's a little difficult to parse and it has its own inconsistencies. This info needs to be complete on the Account / Preferences / Project settings page where the projects are actually selected.
Thanks!
