2013-07-04 Thread Heinz-Bernd Eggenstein
Hi all! While hunting for a bug recently, we at Einstein@Home came across a question that I would like to present for discussion here: If an app has a non zero GPU share (GPU app for short), should CPU throttling (as configured thru the preferences setting Use at most x % of CPU time) be
