Have different <count> values for different coprocessors #1149

Open romw opened 9 years ago

romw commented 9 years ago

Reported by MarkJ on 6 Jun 42115089 08:43 UTC Currently you can only specify a single .5 parameter within app_info.xml per app. It is applied across all coprocessors of that type and doesn't allow for different values for different devices.

CUDA 1

'''Example:''' Machine has a GTS250 and a GTX460 installed. User wants to run 1 wu at a time on GTS250 but 2 wu at a time on the GTX460.

Provide a mechanism where the user can have different values per coprocessor device.

One possible way could be to allow the app_info to specify the device the applies to in a similar fashion to the cc_config.xml statements.
