Hi everyone!

Please tell whether it is possible to bind, for example, each of 2 GPUs (under Linux system, if any) to certain projects or not? I.e. more powerful - to gpugrid, less one - to collatz.

You'll have to set up two separate BOINC installations, one for each card/project pair [edit] using a cc_config.xml file with different <ignore_cuda_dev>N</ignore_cuda_dev> / <ignore_ati_dev>N</ignore_ati_dev> directives[/edit].

Gruß,
Gundolf

Computer sind nicht alles im Leben. (Kleiner Scherz)

Well, it's not an elegant solution. Let it be another one item in BOINC's future versions "wishlist".

Btw, do you really think that OS will let me run two copies of boinc at the same time? I have a doubts here...

It's been on that list about forever and has recently been demoted to 'not going to do it'.

It's not a question of whether the OS can do it, but if the program can do it. By default BOINC checks if another version of itself is in memory and if tehre is, it won't start a second program. However, this can be circumvented using the command line command boinc --allow_multiple_clients, which will allow the starting and running of more than one BOINC on the same computer. They will need to run from separate directories, and probably be set to use different data directories as well.
