I'll control remotely my computers from here (Hannover, Germany) when they will receive new tasks. Guess, we'll receive a lot of details about this tomorrow, at the meeting here at AEI.
This thread is for questions, comments and problems related to the new Fermi LAT gamma-ray pulsar search.
I'm running BRP3 currently and would like to try gamma-ray pulsar search. The problem is - I'm using 560 TI card with 2048M so it is running 6 tasks simultaneously because I'm using app_info.xml file to run 6 tasks. Can anybody provide me information what should I add to app_info.xml file to be able to run this CPU task ?
Just editing the app_info file is not eniugh, you'll also need the executables themselves, because using the app_info file disables the automatic downloading of new executables.
I think it I s best to wait until Monday when the first work units will be distributed. After that happens, we can extract the necessary information to update app_info files.
If you're using an app_info.xml, I'd recommend to wait some time (a few weeks) with running the new search. While testing we'll update the App a number of times as we fix problems and may add new features. It will be a pain to keep the App updated manually on the Client side.
it would be much easyer for all of us, if you'd provide the option to specificly select that project only in preferences..
I don't understand this.
If you're asking for a simple way to run only the Fermi-LAT gamma-ray pulsar search (which is an application of the Einstein@home project), I'd say that this is not advisable at all.
We won't send out more than a few thousand tasks of that application this week, and an unknown number of these will produce only client- and validation errors. That's what testing is for.
If you would restrict yourself to just that application, you will likely get no work from the project at all.
I guess the feature requested is setting the number of parallel CUDA tasks. This would eliminate the need to use app_info.xml entirely.

* I don't think so. How would this be related to the threads subject, the gamma-ray search?
* If this was still the case, I'd have no idea how to implement this feature. Is there any other project that provides that option and could provide an example (code)?

Sorry Bernd, posted w/o thinking.

Unfortunately I am not familiar with BOINC API. This was just a wish and should go to the appropriate message board.
I am, but I think part the problem is that this isn't a matter of the BOINC API. This would be about how to modify / customize the scheduler code to pass information from the project preferences (which is actually web code) to the BOINC Core Client (not even the application). Hm, I get a rough idea how to do that, but it would still require a bit of effort I wouldn't invest unless I'm sure there is sufficient demand for it.

That would be the "Wish list" forum.
