RE: My quest to use an NVIDIA TITAN V for BOINC (TITAN V & 1080 Ti BOINC Benchmarks)
Amazing. So jealous.
Could you use the excess computing power for foldingcoin/curecoin while mining milkyway?
Also, would you be able to fiddle with the settings on the Edit MilkyWay@Home preferences page?
There is the setting :"Frequency (in Hz) that should try to complete individual work chunks. Higher numbers may run slower but will provide a more responsive system. Lower may be faster but more laggy." which may force a higher intensity.
You may also be able to reduce the CPU allocated to milkyway down to 0.05 or 0.1 in your app_config.xml for each task.
I've tried the Frequency setting, it doesn't seem to impact VRAM usage unfortunately. Changing the CPU allocation factor also wouldn't do anything, that just changes the amount of CPU time the BOINC Manager thinks a work unit uses, not what it actually uses.
I'm worried about possibly crashing the NVIDIA drivers if I tried to run multiple different compute applications at one time, so I don't think I'll try to crunch foldingcoin/curecoin simulanteously.
