Thank you very much. Also today, I tried to get along with the eqPly-example, but it seems far to complex for the computation on one machine with multiple GPUs. I will try your way with the configuration file. The last part of your answer, I understood that it shoul be possible to realize the task with one exeutable (like in HelloWorld). I'm notsure how to do that, but I will also try to figure out that. You also publicated a White Paper about this topic (Computations on Multi-GPU mchines). How have you done it there ? Did you you seperate Server- an Client-applications/executables, or have you realized these task also with one app ?
