Hello, I don't know if this is a bug...it just wasn't what I expected. I normally run just S@h tasks and I have an app_config.xml file setup so that the CPU does not run at 100%. The rig in an 8core with two GTX750Ti. Lunatics v0.45 beta4 was used to install and config the Anonymous Platform apps. My S@h main app_config assigns 2 cores for the GPUs, leaving 6 cores for CPU tasks. In order to run tasks from S@h main and S@h Beta at the same time, I had to create an app_config.xml for S@h Beta also. Otherwise, my CPU was running at 100% because by default S@h Beta stock for cuda50 and NV_SoG allocates: 0.162 CPUs + 1 NV In the Beta app_config file, I used the info in the "Application" column data from BoincManager (same as BoincTasks): "SETI@home v8" and entered the following: <app_config>...<app>...<name>SETI@home v8</name>... but in the Event log the following error msg showed up: 2016-09-16 [...] | SETI@home Beta Test | Your app_config.xml file refers to an unknown application 'SETI@home v8'. Known applications: 'setiathome_v8' So I modifed it to the following and it works. <app_config> <app> <name>setiathome_v8</name> <gpu_versions> <gpu_usage>1</gpu_usage> <cpu_usage>1</cpu_usage> </gpu_versions> </app> </app_config> I don't know if this is a bug...it just wasn't what I expected. Cheers, RobG :-) |

In the Beta app_config file, I used the info in the "Application" column data from BoincManager (same as BoincTasks): "SETI@home v8" Simple misunderstanding. BOINC apps have two names: <name>einstein_S6CasA</name> The 'user friendly name' shows up in GUI management programs, but for control purposes you need to use the real name. SETI@home v8 setiathome_v8 are very similar, but not the same. I suspect the 'friendly' name (the first) is allowed to use punctuation and spaces, but the 'real' name (the second) isn't. |

Thanks Richard I'm guessing Lunatics uses that same label both both ...so as to not cause this type of confusion. Cheers, RobG :-} |

If you read the formal specification for Anonymous platform, you'll see that <user_friendly_name> is not a defined tag for use in app_info.xml |
