There is a Nvidia control program that comes with a list of registered programs and which graphics chip they should run on. An individual can add to/edit that list.
When this was a new issue years ago someone at LL found the right person to contact inside Nvidia and got the viewer's name added to the list of programs to run on the high performance chip. Searching the history on this list for nvidia & optimus might yield a result if it's not obvious how to register a program on nvidia's web support page.
