Well, I just got evidence that this work in 6.10.4 indeed. It makes my proposal much less actual right now of course , cause there is only hypothetical "unsupported accelerator", but maybe it's worth to implement it anyway for future hardware...

If app_info.xml says that an app version uses CUDA or ATI, then the client will schedule jobs accordingly even if the project doesn't have CUDA or ATI apps. If it doesn't, it's a bug; please send me message log with <cpu_sched_debug> set. > I mean if project not use let say ATI coprocessor for its stock app then > it will not give separate work for that coprocessor then app_info > containing reference to this coprocessor will always recive "No work" > message from project servers, correct? No; it should get work if the project has any. However, this was fixed fairly recently ([18994], 2 Sept) and I'm not sure that's in 6.10.4. -- David _______________________________________________ boinc_dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ssl.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/boinc_dev To unsubscribe, visit the above URL and (near bottom of page) enter your email address.
