I am looking for a way to avoid getting CPU data files. I do not want to interfere with the procesing of the SETI files on the CPUs. Can you help me?

Deselect 'Use CPU' in your Collatz Preferences.

Claggy

I have deselected use CPU "since the project started" and now suddenly I am getting SSE CPU tasks on one of my hosts. Due to this I can't use Collatz, anyone else having the same "bug" ?

This host: http://boinc.thesonntags.com/collatz/show_host_detail.php?hostid=2601

Collatz is set as backup project to Milky and DNETC with 0% resource share

Have you got your computers set to different venues, with different preferences for each?, or do you have Just the Default preferences?

You can also try the Power app for your GPU, since the app_info doesn't have the CPU app in it, you won't get any more CPU work,

This is still happening. Can you look into it please? I have separate prefs set via BAM and no cpu WUs set for my work box but I still get them there.

Thanks.

Yes, I know and have done that. BAM is where I set up the separate profiles for my machines. Here is where I configured those profiles. Back to my original request. :-)

Thanks.

My hosts are set as above both running op apps but I only get GPU WU's.

Local Host Activity set to Use GPU always.

Enable sched_op_debug in the cc_config and then look at the log when it requests work. Does it request more than 0 seconds of CPU work even though you have disabled it in your preferences? If so, the issue is with the BOINC client and/or BAM. Please note that the client will alternate between GPU and CPU requests so you have to look through several requests to see what it is doing for sure.

And in your Account Settings settings for Collatz C., you've set
Default computer location ---
Maximum CPU % for graphics
0 ... 100 20 , since you don't wanna use your CPU, I wonder if it's possible to 'run' graphics, since you use GPU for crunching, depending on the load of the GPU, it's most of the times not a good idea.
And it does slow down your GPU!
A GPU, always has to 'load' input and send ouput, to CPU. Checkpoints can be used, many projects do so. (BOINC, itself can't whitout a CPU ;^))

I am happy the way my setting of no CPU are working out.

Most WU's ati13ati are being returned in 30 to 40 minutes.

Against my laptop CPU haveing the folling Run time 230,169.04, CPU time 219,844.60

This is why , I wanted to run COLLATZ Conjecture on GPU not CPU!

120 times faster, a EAH5870 v.s. Core i5 2.7GHz

Additional software to 'control' BOINC, only takes extra CPU cycles :)

I take that to mean you have already enabled sched_op_debug and have seen that the BOINC client is requesting CPU work even though the preferences are set to not use the CPU. If that's the case, there isn't anything I can do on this end. The bug is in the BOINC client. The preferences control the client asking for work and not the server sending work. In other words, if the client asks for CPU work, the server will send it.

Hi again,

I found the problem. For some reason the assignment of machines to profiles wasn't pushed from BAM. Now I've set it manually, all is well.

Thanks.
