From version 1.09 up to 1.14, I get some funny displays of "Application" names in the "Tasks" tab. For instance, yoyo@home Muon tasks...

The properties on the individual applications says the name is "Muon 445.01". However, when I double click and group the tasks together, it says "117.33 Muon". It also says "117.33 Muon" if the task is "Waiting to run".
Funny, but I can reproduce it,. It's fixed for V 1.15. The problem was the large version number 44501, got too close to the limit....
If you find something else, let me know.

Glad to help any way I can!  Sent another donation too...

Just thought you ought to know... haven't found any other problems yet ... but I just started trying it out.

Wish List / Re: Directed GPU Use Option????
April 08, 2011, 08:27:33 PM
Well, thanks for the hints! I'll try to pass on the information. I see no reason why I can't process CUDA while doing normal task... however, I am now seeing a couple of compute errors for PrimeGrid... no doubt that is me doing something.

Waiting is no problem, but I think they need to tune their apps a bit less tightly... who cares if it takes 1 minute longer if it avoids errors! That is better than not running it at al.

Thanks again! On to a PrimeGrid forum I guess and hope someone sees!

Wish List / Directed GPU Use Option????
April 08, 2011, 06:28:29 AM
Howdy, first time here and I love this interface!! Much better than the standard IMHO.   :D

I have one problem lately with BOINC in general that "MAYBE" ya'll can help me with. When I was first running PrimeGrig on my GPU's I had no problems; but lately their latest (cuda_fermi) tasks use 99.99% of my display system, even with no CPU tasks running!!! This slows down the display update to a click-and-wait crawl. There is no problem with it running on only one GPU, only when it's running on both at the same time.

My system specs: http://valid.canardpc.com/show_oc.php?id=1748349   and normally runs 4.2GHz 24/7....

So, I was wondering...

In the case of multiple GPU systems, can we force a project to use only one GPU at a time to allow other projects to use the other GPU and not slow screaming fast display systems to a crawl?

OR, is there a way to contact PrimeGrid (other than the forum) and ask them to back-off a little on hogging the display resources?

OR, is there some other work-around to this other than manually suspending a task all the time?

OR, am I completely missing something somewhere and someone could help in tuning or something?

Thanks for any and all help!
