Hi! I like the idea to get an indication (e.g. highlighting of projects in the list) whether or not a given project will run on the device used to attach, but OTOH volunteers typically have more than one BOINC capable device. E.g. I'd like to see a little Android logo displayed for projects that support those clients, even if that project has no work for the PC that is used to browse the list so, volunteers see what might be possible on other devices he/she owns.

Sent by: "boinc_dev" <[email protected]> That would be simpler than adding every type of coprocessor or platform as the list continues to grow. Would it also take into account the "no alt platform" setting so that if a 64-bit user wants only 64-bit apps and the project doesn't have them that it wouldn't show that it has apps that will run on this client? Would the project list be filtered so that the projects that won't run at all on the client (e.g. WEP if running Windows) wouldn't even be listed if neither the CPU or GPU apps were compatible? Or maybe have that as an option in the preferences. In other words, don't taunt people by showing projects they can't use. That, or add a warning when they try and connect that says [in a bad French accent] "Now go away or I shall have to taunt you a second time!" ;-) Jon Sonntag On Thu, Jul 18, 2013 at 6:57 PM, David Anderson <[email protected]>wrote: > I'd also like to change things so that the add-project dialog shows: > > 1) whether this project has apps that will run on this client > 2) whether this project has apps that will use this client's GPU(s) > > ... rather than listing all the platforms and GPUs that the project > supports. > > -- David > > On 18-Jul-2013 6:55 AM, Heinz-Bernd Eggenstein wrote: > >> Dear all, >> >> In the projects list displayed when choosing a project to attach to, would >> it be possible to have an icon displayed for "project supports Intel-GPUs" >> (like the ones for ATI/AMD and NVIDIA GPU support in >> ..../clientgui/res/templates ) ? >> >> (I'm not sure how much of a hassle one has to go thru for this , e.g. ask >> Intel for permission to use a shrinked logo????) >> >> THX, >> Cheers >> HB >> >> ------------------------------**------------------------------**----- >> Heinz-Bernd Eggenstein >> Max Planck Institute for Gravitational Physics >> Callinstrasse 38 >> D-30167 Hannover, Germany >> Tel.: +49-511-762-19466 (Room 037) >> ______________________________**_________________ >> boinc_dev mailing list >> [email protected] >> http://lists.ssl.berkeley.edu/**mailman/listinfo/boinc_dev< http://lists.ssl.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/boinc_dev> >> To unsubscribe, visit the above URL and >> (near bottom of page) enter your email address. >> >> ______________________________**_________________ > boinc_dev mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.ssl.berkeley.edu/**mailman/listinfo/boinc_dev< http://lists.ssl.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/boinc_dev> > To unsubscribe, visit the above URL and > (near bottom of page) enter your email address. > _______________________________________________ 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. _______________________________________________ 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.
