Need Help with app_info.xml for HYBRID ATI GPU/CPU Optimized AstroPulse_v505 5.0

<< < (2/7) > >>

Frizz:
At the moment I have this in my app_info.xml. Is this correct for my Quad CPU + 1 GPU configuration?

Frizz:
Problem is: GPUz shows 0% GPU usage when running the AP tasks. In Windows taskmanager I can see two ap_5.05_win_x86_SSE3_BROOK_r280_NO_DOUBLE.exe running, each consuming about 25% CPU.

Why are they not using my GPU?

Raistmer:
They use GPU but only in part of code. Look at GPU usage (or CPU usage) longer and you will see spikes (drops).

Frizz:
OK, thanks for reply. I will monitor it.

Is this setup here OK for my Quad CPU + 1 GPU configuration?

Raistmer:
Recently Claggy posted more advanced app_info version that works for him, but if you can get AP tasks, this one should be enough for start.
Here Claggy's one:

My changes in green.
He used full core + single AP task per GPU cause his host has both CUDA and ATI GPUs and many AP tasks badly affected on CUDA processing. In most cases only one type of GPU present (either CUDA or ATI) .
