Prevent CPU slot in case of multiple GPU
Posted: Tue Aug 27, 2013 9:28 pm
I currently run an "older" MB and CPU in a multi GPU setup (nvidia). The CPU is a Core2 Quad, no HT.
I want to make sure that at all time no CPU slot sneak in; stealing resources from GPU support. I saw in the past that when I don't configure a disabled CPU slot the client might recreate and activate a CPU slot.
So I have a CPU with pause-on-start and never start it manually but actually wonder if <cpu v='false'/> could do the trick. I would like to cosmetically not see the CPU slot at all but also make sure it don't come back uncontrolled.
I tried the FAQs but couldn't find any hint how to achieve a CPU-slot prevention.
On a side question: what is the parameter fold-anon ? I assume folding anonymous ... Can I remove that line ? I have my donor ID, group and passkey configured (removed from them config above)
Thanks in advance
