POEM GPU

[kashi]

What a coincidence, I just updated to 12.11 beta an hour before reading this thread. It really makes a big difference. Running 4 POEM tasks on my HD 5870 with 4 POGS tasks also running, GPU load has increased from 91% to 96%. The previous highest GPU load I could get was 95% by running no CPU tasks but now I prefer to do some POGS as well. First batch of 4 have just completed and are about 12% faster than before.;D

Thanks for your tips Matt, I'll give ProcessLasso a whirl later today, I've previously used it to speed up BOINC projects so it is already installed and I'm familiar with using it.

I can only run POEM for intervals due to heat and noise concerns but I'm enjoying giving it lash again. You're certainly going to town on POEM, always good to see someone getting really stuck into a project.

and is there any way to run the CPU apps at the same time, that so far has escaped me and can not do..  

It certainly could be done, but I have in total 7 cores left on 6 rigs running POEM, everything else goes into GPU feeding. So I never considered doing so and happily kept my poor CPU output for other projects.

Cheers, I am really loving it. It's one of the first times (almost completely missed the great days at MW) a science project offers real return for investing a little effort. So the choice was easy for me.
