Currently, when the client runs an app: - if the app version uses < 1 CPU or has the is_wrapper flag set, set the priority to BELOW_NORMAL_PRIORITY_CLASS - otherwise set the priority to IDLE_PRIORITY_CLASS
So GPU apps (if they use < 1 CPU), non-CPU-intensive apps, and wrappers are run at Below Normal. When the BOINC wrapper runs an app: - if <no_priority_change/> is set in the job description file, the process inherits the priority of the wrapper (normally BELOW_NORMAL_PRIORITY_CLASS) - otherwise set the priority to IDLE_PRIORITY_CLASS There's no provision for anything other than Idle and Below Normal. (The above is Windows, of course; it's analogous on Unix). -- David On 09-Oct-2014 1:26 PM, Jacob Klein wrote:
Does this support running the task's process at a priority that is neither Normal (8) nor Idle (4)? GPU apps, for instance, are best run at Below Normal (6) (which GPUGrid somehow does)... and I feel that ASIC apps also should run at Below Normal (6). > Date: Thu, 9 Oct 2014 12:38:16 -0700 > From: [email protected] > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [boinc_dev] set app priority > > To address this problem, I added a <no_priority_change/> option > in the wrapper's job description file: > http://boinc.berkeley.edu/trac/wiki/WrapperApp > > This tells the wrapper to not lower the priority of the tasks' process. > > -- David > > On 09-Oct-2014 1:45 AM, Rebirther wrote: > > The <is_wrapper/> option doesnt work for me, the wrapper is still in normal > > priority as before and the app in lowest priority running BOINC client 7.4.22 > > > > -Reb _______________________________________________ boinc_dev mailing list > > [email protected] > > http://lists.ssl.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/boinc_dev To unsubscribe, visit > > the above URL and (near bottom of page) enter your email address. > > > _______________________________________________ > boinc_dev mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.ssl.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/boinc_dev > To unsubscribe, visit the above URL and > (near bottom of page) enter your email address.
