.. looks like it's not working.
I've set it to 0.5, but

Nevertheless, if this is working it's the biggest improvement here, I offer any help I can give to get this thing running.

GPU utilization factor

Update

It works now for the nvidia wu's but not for the ati openCL.
The problem was an app_info which was in the einstein directory, it affected the albert wu's as well.

We were testing this feature

We were testing this feature here for usage on Einstein@Home. Honestly I don't have any idea how an OpenCL App or an ATI card would behave when running more than one task at once.

Hi,

since I do it sometimes at Milkyway, I can tell you, perfect behaviour!
The project has changed his app to openCL some weeks ago. Now both (nVidia and AMD - apps) are openCL, both work fine running more than one task on a card.

Give it a chance, I'll test it for you!

Regards,

Alexander

edit:
just to give an expression how this is done at MW, here is the app_ifo for that:

ATI OpenCL Applications are

Message 79148 in response to message 79147

ATI OpenCL Applications are currently only available for Windows and Linux. I think there is a serious problem with the OpenCL (1.1) App on Mac OS X, that will be fixed with Apple's next system update to Lion.

Update:

We see some improvements in the OSX support, but it's not quite sure yet whether it will be sufficient to be able to have a stable app for Lion or even Mountain Lion together with Linux and Windows. Probably teh OSX app will come later than those for Windows and Linux.

The first task which I am

The first task which I am running before change to .05 is still showing 1.0
First task was started with setting GPU 1.0
Second task started with setting 0.5

But the other shows running 0.5GPU's

I am running 2tasks simultaniously now.
ATI 5850 CAT 12.3 BM 7.0.26

:)

It uses Both my cores so I have no CPU% left for other tasks.
Windows task manager says each task is using about 20% so if that could be modified to the app, that would be great.
I think SETI Beta is now using some way of calculation to set the CPU % before tasks is started.
