Hi everyone, I run Rosetta and Climate Pred. on one PC, neither of these projects use the GPU, so WHY does the Boinc Manager keep requesting GPU tasks and not CPU tasks.
I quite often have cores sitting idle because the manager keeps requesting GPU tasks instead of CPU tasks.
Is it possible to stop the manager requesting GPU tasks?

Requesting GPU tasks is not "instead of" requesting CPU tasks - it is "in addition to" CPU tasks. Separate queues, and separate long term debt values, are maintained for the different processors.

If your computer doesn't request CPU tasks, it's because your CPU doesn't need CPU tasks, or because the CPU queue is stalled for some CPU-related reason, not because it is trying to get GPU tasks.

Having said that, I don't like the redundant GPU requests to non-GPU projects either, but the developers haven't responded to my representations yet.

Is it possible to stop the manager requesting GPU tasks?

As long as you can keep yourself from clicking Update on a project, these requests will eventually back-off to once every 24 hours. Click Update on the project however and that back-off timer resets and starts from 1 minute.
