Cc config.xml

From Unofficial BOINC Wiki

cc_config.xml is a file that if present, resides in your BOINC data directory. It can contain many configuration-parameters that can change BOINC client's behaviour.

Some of the options are listed below, with their default values:

<cc_config>
   <options>
      <abort_jobs_on_exit>0</abort_jobs_on_exit>
      <disallow_attach>0</disallow_attach>
      <dont_contact_ref_site>0</dont_contact_ref_site>
      <dont_check_file_sizes>0</dont_check_file_sizes>
      <max_file_xfers>8</max_file_xfers>
      <max_file_xfers_per_project>2</max_file_xfers_per_project>
      <ncpus>-1</ncpus>
      <no_gpus>0</no_gpus>
      <use_all_gpus>0</use_all_gpus>
   </options>
   <log_flags>
      <checkpoint_debug>0</checkpoint_debug> 
      <cpu_sched>0</cpu_sched> 
      <cpu_sched_debug>0</cpu_sched_debug> 
      <rr_simulation>0</rr_simulation> 
      <work_fetch_debug>0</work_fetch_debug> 
      <mem_usage_debug>0</mem_usage_debug>
      <task_debug>0</task_debug> 
      <file_xfer_debug>0</file_xfer_debug>
      <http_debug>0</http_debug> 
      <proxy_debug>0</proxy_debug>
      <http_xfer_debug>0</http_xfer_debug> 
      <network_status_debug>0</network_status_debug>
      <sched_op_debug>0</sched_op_debug>
      <time_debug>0</time_debug> 
      <dcf_debug>0</dcf_debug> 
      <debt_debug>0</debt_debug> 
   </log_flags>
</cc_config>

To enable most options, set 1. To disable most options, set 0.

• Special, <ncpus> must be -1 to use the installed #CPUs (as reported by Operating System), a zero will disable using CPU at all.

Options like <max_file_xfers> takes a number, from 1 to N.

If you edit the configuration file while BOINC is running, the changes will take effect only if you select the Advanced -> Read config file menu item.

Warning: Any changes in the <log_flags> section will be used immediately after re-read of the config file. Yet a lot of changes in the <options> section will need a complete exit and restart of the BOINC client. They will not take if you just re-read the config file.
