Hi,any way to have two AP on my ati5770 and one on a10-5800k?
and have setting on each in ap_cmdline_win_x86_SSE2_OpenCL_ATI.txt?

BOINC does't device-centric so "not in easy way".
You would need 2 separate BOINC installations with one enabled and another deisblad GPUs in them.

If you want to follow Raistmer sugestion and try, there is a explanation on how to run 2 instances of Boinc on the same hosts in Vyper´s site but be aware, use only if you realy knows what you are doing, if you don´t know not try, it´s easy to loose all your BOINC work if you do something wrong.

Another option is exclude the A10-5800K from doing AP, and make it do Seti v7 exclusively, and exclude the HD5770 from doing Seti v7 and make it do AP exclusively,
In the cc_config.xml:

<exclude_gpu>
<url>http://setiathome.berkeley.edu</url>
<device_num>1</device_num>
<type>ATI</type>
<app>astropulse_v6</app>
</exclude_gpu>
<exclude_gpu>
<url>http://setiathome.berkeley.edu </url>
<device_num>0</device_num>
<type>ATI</type>
<app>setiathome_v7</app>
</exclude_gpu>

Then you are free to set the HD5770 up to do two AP Wu's at once, in your app_config.xml

<app_config>
<app>
<name>astropulse_v6</name>
<gpu_versions>
<gpu_usage>0.5</gpu_usage>
<cpu_usage>0.4</cpu_usage>
</gpu_versions>
</app>
</app_config>

But you'll probably have trouble keeping the number of Seti v7 tasks to a minimum, unless you only allow Seti v7 requests for short durations.

I would call this suboptimal cause both GPUs are ATi.

hi, thank you, it was tough, but I think I have it working. I will change little more after it runs some, took lots of hours trying different stuff to make it work.
I have 2 Boinc windows open and see one running AP wu on the 5770 and the other AP wu on the apu.

hi, the server gets this info from a file on my computer? as it dont show AstroPulse v6 (anonymous platform, ATI GPU) on http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/host_app_versions.php?hostid=7291233 after i switch to AP6_win_x86_SSE2_OpenCL_ATI_r2180 and it has completed and valided a few, as http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/workunit.php?wuid=1505110853 and http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/workunit.php?wuid=1504927554

Were they initially sent as 'anonymous platform, ATI GPU' work, or as 'AstroPulse v6 v6.06 (opencl_ati_100)' work?
Did that work have to get resent so it shows up as 'anonymous platform, ATI GPU' work,
when you have completed tasks that were sent after you applied the app_info, then they will show up on the host app versions page.

yes, i had lots of AP work-units, i added AP6_win_x86_SSE2_OpenCL_ATI_r2180 and and lost all the WU and it is re-sending them and Completed and validated a few, that show up on http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/results.php?userid=7842702&offset=0&show_names=0&state=4&appid= , but not on the http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/host_app_versions.php?hostid=7291233 page. I look at that page Average processing rate, and change my ap_cmdline_win_x86_SSE2_OpenCL_ATI.txt to see if i can get it higher.

They was showing up on the Application column as AstroPulse v6 v6.06 (opencl_ati_100) and now showing up as AstroPulse v6 Anonymous platform (ATI GPU), but dont show up http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/show_host_detail.php?hostid=7291233 or
http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/host_app_versions.php?hostid=7291233

The error WUs was from when i tried to use 64bit fftw dll.

Are you trying for 2 GPU's on one A-10 using the Integrated GPU? Or are you trying to run 2 tasks on 1 GPU?

From the conversation there appeared to be a question of how to run with no GPU?

As someone pointed out in another thread, you can setup 3 different preferences and group your PC's to work on different projects/etc. That might help.

Are you trying to run 2 GPU's one the integrated one and the other the discrete GPU card on the same box?

Just got my A-10 5700 up a couple of days ago so looking for other A-10 users.
