Indigobench select gpu via command line

So I am trying to run indigobench on my macbook pro via the command line, but I only want it to run on the AMD GPU and not the intel integrated one. I tried the --gpuonly flag but it runs on both the GPUs on your computer (AMD and intel GPU). Is there any way to specify which GPU to run the benchmark on?
Thanks!

Hi,
currently that isn't possible. It could be added at some point, I guess. I put a feature request into the tracker.

If I want to add this feature in myself, how exactly would I go about doing that?

Wait, is Indigobench/Indigo Renderer even an open source project? That is why I asked if I can add the feature myself.

No, it's not.

I have a question regarding how the --settings flag works. I have a custom settings.xml file where the only device under the tag <selected_opencl_devices> is my AMD GPU, but when I run the command line pointing the --settings flag to that settings.xml file, it still runs indigobench on my intel GPU and the AMD GPU. Here is my command:
Code: Select all
/Indigobench/Indigo\ Benchmark.app/Contents/MacOS/indigo_benchmark --settings "/path/to/file/settings.xml" --silent --scenes "supercar" --gpuonly
Here is my settings.xml file:
Code: Select all
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<settings>
<use_network_manager>false</use_network_manager>
<use_network_floating_licence>false</use_network_floating_licence>

--settings works differently, it expects the settings as xml, not a path to a settings file. For example: --settings "<width>1920</width><height>1080</height>"
The benchmark currently ignores the "selected_opencl_devices" setting. It should also be noted that not all settings can be overridden (render mode, for example). Also, overriding settings will make it impossible to submit the results to the database.

Hi,
Is there any update on this feature? When can we expect the new version later than 4.0.64?
