Wish List / Re: BOINC's project list often...

Last post by fred - March 15, 2025, 12:33:12 AM

With some projects it's a mess.
BOINC should be able to handle this, I think this is a BOINC problem.
Or the project that uses the wrong URL.

The all_projects_list.xml isn't accesible.

The only option you have is to remove the projects and add the projects to all computers at once.

The locations should be stored, but ONLY if you exit BoincTasks, so you have to do this once.
Hitting the power button to close the system, may bypass storing things.

In BoincTasks go to BOINC Settings and the last tab = Exclusive applications.

Wish List / Re: Fix "exclusive application...

Last post by Joseph Stateson - March 13, 2025, 03:19:21 PM

I attempted to put in an exclusive application for a remote computer using Boinctasks.  Firstly, what on earth are the three fields for?  There is only one piece of information Boinc needs - the name of the executable.  Secondly, when I browse for the file, it uses the folders on my local machine, not the remote one.  Thirdly, it didn't save it (this may be because I don't know which field to put what in, they're not labelled!)

I cannot find that option the way you are describing.  I looked at both windows versions of BT (the .js and the .exe)
I have been using the cc_config.xml editor in the .exe version to add (for example)

Code Select Expand

   <options>
      <use_all_gpus>1</use_all_gpus>
      <exclusive_gpu_app>DVDFab.exe</exclusive_gpu_app>
      <allow_remote_gui_rpc>1</allow_remote_gui_rpc>
   </options>

I am running older versions of boinc and just a few days ago looked at boinctasks.js for the first time. I have only windows system to run boinctasks on so I might be overlooking where those options are.

Wish List / Remember dialog box positions

Last post by hucker - March 12, 2025, 09:19:54 PM

Perhaps exacerbated by me having multiple monitors, Boinctasks doesn't remember where for example the boinc preferences dialog was last used.  In my case it's going to monitor 1 even though boinctasks is on another screen.  Please either make it remember the last position of the dialog, even remember globally for every dialog, or make it appear somewhere in the Boinctasks main window area, say the middle.

Wish List / BOINC's project list often has...

Last post by Joseph Stateson - March 08, 2025, 01:27:40 PM

BT uses the local PCs all_projects_list.xml when adding a project.

Would it be possible to optionally use the all_projects_list.xml that is on the PC running BoincTasks?  That way I only need to update one file instead of 12 or more files.

ideally, the project would notify BOINC admin of the URL change which could then be propagated to users.  I do not think they inform anyone other than popping up 100's of notices about the change to the user.

I was able to add the project by overriding the default URL


<project>
<name>GPUGrid.net</name>
<id>6</id>
<url>https://www.gpugrid.net/</url>
<web_url>https://www.gpugrid.net/</web_url>

It should have been

<project>
<name>GPUGrid.net</name>
<id>6</id>
<url>https://www.gpugrid.net/gpugrid/</url>
<web_url>https://www.gpugrid.net/</web_url>


It would be nice if BOINC could handle this problem but looking around it is evident that some projects do not bother to inform BOINC admin what they are changing.

Last post by fred - February 09, 2025, 02:31:05 AM

Also, I used multiple GPU. Actually, it is a Quadro & Tesla from nVidia. So can we have individual GPU Tthrottling, as if some GPU is limited, same goes for the other one. This means that one card is producing max per given temp., while other works quite a bit cooler.

You should be able to assign different temps for the GPUs like 61;53;67;74

Independent GPU Throttling.

That said I've not tested it for a long long time.

Last post by KLiK - January 26, 2025, 01:17:40 PM

Can we have individual Tthrottling for multiple CPU & multiple GPU on single system? 

For example, I use dual-CPU layout with various Dell or Lenovo workstations. But Tthrottling one CPU, also lowers the other one. So can we have that individually for such systems?

I think this would help us, when using multiple CPU & GPU for BOINC.

Thank you that fixed the problem.
