RunAsGPU is a tool designed to give users a simple yet powerful way to control
which GPU an application runs on. This tool was created to overcome limitations
with DRI_PRIME, which can sometimes cause issues for users. RunAsGPU provides
both a GUI for easy app selection and a CLI for advanced users.
- GUI Interface – Easily select and manage applications that should run on a specific GPU.
- CLI Support – Run applications via terminal with precise GPU selection.
- App List Management – Add and remove apps manually to control GPU assignment.
- Automatic GPU Detection – Detects available GPUs and allows switching.
- Lightweight & Fast – No bloat, just a straightforward way to set GPU preferences.
- CMake
- Qt6
- GCC or Clang
