1) Message boards : Number crunching : Something interesting (Message 3694) Posted 23 days ago by Greg_BE Post: When I am crunching this project I get 2 tasks per GPU. I get .2 CPU and .49 GPU This is the only project that does that. I don't mind, I just found it interesting.
2) Message boards : Number crunching : Does this project support multiple tasks on a single GPU? (Message 3652) Posted 5 Feb 2024 by Greg_BE Post: Also, see this: https://numberfields.asu.edu/NumberFields/forum_thread.php?id=558&postid=3380#3380 Ok, thats cool. But then it does not allow the other projects that use GPU to run. And this project even with 2 x 2 GPU only uses 4 and 9% of the total capacity of the cards and that is including running 2 x GPU only FAH. I was thinking I could make a way to run 2 or instances of this project simultaneously with other projects. I have never tried running two different projects simultaneously on a GPU. You might need to run two separate instances of the manager to do that. But something doesn't make sense. My 1660 is at 95% utilization with a single GPU process and my 1370Ti is at 99% utilization with 2 processes; so I think your 1080 should be fully utilized with only a single process. Are you sure you're not looking at the fan speed or the RAM utilization (those are much lower for me)? Otherwise, something else is wrong. ahha! windows task manager is under reporting the load in the utilization box and graph. I installed GPUZ and had a look under sensors and its 98% on both. Since the room is cool, the fans aren't working hard enough to tell what kind of load the cards are under.

4) Message boards : Number crunching : Does this project support multiple tasks on a single GPU? (Message 3647) Posted 4 Feb 2024 by Greg_BE Post: Being my GPU is under utilized (12% or so on this project and others) I was wondering if I could run 2 tasks on a single GPU. I have searched the web for information and I find something about app_config with gpu_usage 0.5 and cpu_usage 1, but that doesn't allow for a second task. I checked something else from a LHC post and saw project_max_concurrent and I am familiar with just max_concurrent, but making the value 2 and restarting BOINC doesn't change anything. So is this idea possible? Does the project allow it? If so what do I change?
