BOINC grabs these and hands down a task for each of them, but naturally only one will work at a time, I got confused + worried and suspended BOINC usage on that system. and associated options, please?Īlso a second (not that important) problem arises, my other Macbook Pro is a 2018 one, with two built-in GPU, switched by the system itself normally between "office" and "graphics" usage.

I seem to fail on setting it up properly, tried to find examples, but none show up for this specific setup. I am aware of the help page for cc_config.xml and set up one, trying to forbid the internal GPU to be used, but grant usage of eGPU.

I managed to set the CPU cores nicely to prevent the fan to run havoc, but as soon as I grant GPU usage the client will run one unit on each of my GPUs. So now I want to donate time to BOINC when I leave my desk, but please not use my internal IRIS GPU. This separate eGPU is to spare me of the howling fan on my desk when I have to run Excessive graphics, and to prevent possible damage due to overheating, as the system panicked in past several times and went off with no notification. It is a Mid 2014 15 in., running in Sierra 10.12.6, it has a built-in INTEL Iris Pro (1536MB) and a separate eGPURadeon RX580 (detected by BOINC as: AMD Radeon HD Baffin Unknown Prototype Compute Engine (8192MB) ) in a case under my desk with its own power supply and mighty cooling fans which nicely warm my feet. I'm proud owner of several Macbooks, and one has a rathe wicked setup. Hello - it seems I'm the first one to run into this problem, or other use different words to describe their problem and I'm not smart enough to find their Q & (possible) A.
