Specify plan class for single job (boinc-server) #2435

Open diozdeath19 opened 6 years ago

Hi everyone, i need to run single job, which uses a gpu. But the command does not have a parameter 'plan-class' so I can pinpoint who will get this task. Is it possible to somehow send a job specifying that it uses gpu like cuda?

@davidpanderson, can you please answer this?

The single-job mechanism currently works only for CPU apps. Extending it to handle GPU apps would be a fair amount of work (maybe a day or two).

I'm not sure this is worth doing; the single-job mechanism is clunky, and the Docker-based system now fills the role.
