CPU <-> GPU rebranding
Geek@Play:
I am using 1.5 version. I start the program using a scheduled task once a day. The scheduled task points to a batch file that stops the boinc service, runs rescheduler then restarts the boinc service.
Are you saying that I need to have the option for "Automatic" also set to 1?
Also some have reported now and they were auto killed by the CUDA app.

Batchfile will work just great, but you don't really need it as the tool can schedule itself these days. For the moment i think its best if you start the tool and turn on the automatic checkbox in the second tabsheet. Let it reschedule every 2 hours or so.
When running in automtic it will create a logile witch you can check if it runs properly. Normally you would see somethng like:
Time: 16-06-2009 10:52:52
No reschedule needed
CPU tasks: 790 (272 VLAR/VHAR)
GPU tasks: 122 (0 VLAR/VHAR)
---------------------------
Time: 16-06-2009 11:52:52
VLAR/VHAR within period
CPU tasks: 781 (263 VLAR/VHAR)
GPU tasks: 131 (4 VLAR/VHAR)
After reschedule:
CPU tasks: 782 (264 VLAR/VHAR)
GPU tasks: 126 (0 VLAR/VHAR)
---------------------------
Time: 16-06-2009 12:52:52
VLAR/VHAR within period
CPU tasks: 774 (258 VLAR/VHAR)
GPU tasks: 131 (4 VLAR/VHAR)
After reschedule:
CPU tasks: 777 (261 VLAR/VHAR)
GPU tasks: 127 (0 VLAR/VHAR)
---------------------------
Time: 16-06-2009 13:52:52
No reschedule needed
CPU tasks: 777 (261 VLAR/VHAR)
GPU tasks: 127 (0 VLAR/VHAR)
---------------------------
Time: 16-06-2009 14:52:52
No reschedule needed
CPU tasks: 777 (261 VLAR/VHAR)
GPU tasks: 127 (0 VLAR/VHAR)
Greetings,

Geek@Play:
Thanks Marius.
I have disabled the scheduled task and started Rescheduler as you suggested. Minimized to the task bar and left it running.
Sorry if my 62 year old brain was too slow to comprehend the instructions given previously. Proper apology offered..............

Running from batch should also work perfectly, but this is the only way to get a log file and get a reason why it doesn't reschedule. Anywhay, let us know how it turns out.

After two hours elapsed I could find no sign that the Reschedular actually had run on any of my 4 computers. In fact one of my computers had run out of CUDA and was crunching only on the CPU's. I waited another 15 minutes or so and ran the Reschedular manualy on the cache but nothing was changed into CUDA. I made the following changes.
[Settings]
Position=50
OnlyVLarVHar=0
TrueAngleRate=0
[Automatic]
Automatic=1
Interval=2
CPUPerInterval=50
GPUPerInterval=150
[WorkUnits]
And then half were transposed into CUDA work and the GPU started crunching again. I believe a Position of 50 should be fine for my computers. In one hour the CPU's will crunch 4 and CUDA will crunch 4. So I don't know which change got it working. OnlyVlarVHar and TrueAngleRate were both changed from 1 to 0.
I then put a shortcut to Reschedular into my startup group, to start minimized. This ok?
