#1 XANSONS for COD CPU usage in GPU apps

Post by Newshound »


The new CUDA app 1.03 does not use the CPU core anymore except for the computation of the atomic ensemble in the beginning.

The new OpenCL app 1.03 has a command line option --nowait which when specified reduces the CPU load to zero but at the same time makes the system almost unusable due to lagging. If you do not use the system while crunching, you may add this to your app_config.xml:




xansons_gpu
opencl_ati_102_windows
--nowait


Replace 'opencl_ati_102_windows' with the appropriate plan class: opencl_ati_102_mac, opencl_ati_102_linux, opencl_intel_gpu_102_windows, opencl_intel_gpu_102_linux, opencl_intel_gpu_102_mac or opencl_nvidia_102_linux.
