Anyone else running 7.0.42?
----------------------------------------I'm trying it on a 2600K and have 16 GPU tasks running with this: <app_config> <app> <name>hcc1</name> <max_concurrent>16</max_concurrent> <gpu_versions> <gpu_usage>.0625</gpu_usage> <cpu_usage>.5</cpu_usage> </gpu_versions> </app> </app_config> The ETAs are way too low, but I'm hoping that the ETAs will eventually adjust automatically, without having to do anything with the <flops> tags. |

Running 10 with this. Run times look the same. I never pay attention to the DCF any more. It's never been right in version 7.
----------------------------------------<app_config> <app> <name>hcc1</name> <max_concurrent>10</max_concurrent> <gpu_versions> <gpu_usage>.10</gpu_usage> <cpu_usage>.80</cpu_usage> </gpu_versions> </app> </app_config>

From the trac entry:
<name>: the short name of an application. How is one supposed to learn this "short name" of an app? Even on "standard" boinc projects, their (url)/apps.php page doesn't list that. |

I'm just guessing, but it seems to be the prefix of the filenames in the WCG project folder.

But do all BOINC projects follow this format? Do they even all have images? My point is that the trac entry is clear, but not helpful. The whole point of this new config file was to provide an easier alternative to less sophisticated crunchers. But there is no explanation on what a short name is, or where to learn it. |

Examples: hfcc_00_v01.gif hcc1_05_v01.gif hpf2_03_v01.png There are a couple of other places to get that as well. The client_state.xml file will give you the "short name" for any you have In Progress or recently completed and you can open any "Results Status" page "Source Code" view and get all the sub-project short names there as well. In the client_state.xml file look for the section(s) <app>. It will look like this: <app> <name>hcc1</name> <user_friendly_name>Help Conquer Cancer</user_friendly_name> <non_cpu_intensive>0</non_cpu_intensive> </app> <name>xxx</name> is the "short name" In the "Results Status" source code view search for "<li><span>Active Research</span></li>" (without quotes" and you'll see a list of all sub-projects following. The lines "<li><a href="http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/research/ssss/overview.do" class="menuLink">nnnn</a></li>" will have both the short (ssss) and friendly (nnnn) names listed.

Thanks. I am going to write all that down for future reference.
But if one has the know how to do all that, then they have knowledge to build an app_info.xml. So how is this app_config.xml any easier? I guess I am lost on the point, since this doesn't make it easier. |

Even on "standard" boinc projects, their (url)/apps.php page doesn't list that. There's so many places to see them, the projects folder, client_state.xml, the Research page links e.g. Schistosoma https://secure.worldcommunitygrid.org/research/sn2s/overview.do . The Dashboard is another (Combination of acronym+phase number), all are in small. Oh and BOINCTasks lists the shortnames too, if you choose to display the shortname column instead of the user friendly. |
