I saw \"GPU Grid - PS3 Grid\" in BOINC project list.
I thought PS3 Grid is only crunching on PS3. Does it support GPU now??
If so, which GPU(s) are currently supported?

We will support NVIDIA GPUs, but we cannot say more now.

WOOT! Please keep us updated. Got a whole bunch of NVIDIA cards here just itching to crunch. :D

news ?

For Linux64:
1) Install the latest Nvidia driver from http://www.nvidia.com/object/cuda_get.html
2) Download this BOINC client
http://boinc.berkeley.edu/dl/boinc_ubuntu_6.3.5_x86_64-pc-linux-gnu.sh
3) Attach to ps3grid.net

NVIDIA GPU supported:

Hi

Great news, however, I get the following messages when I "Update" PS3Grid

I'm running 64bit Fedora 7 and have an NVidia 8800GS (shows in supported hardware list).
I've installed the latest cuda drivers as above (NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-169.09-pkg2.run) and the "special" version of boinc

any ideas?

Hi,
do you have a file called libcudart64.so in your BOINC dir?

thanks, gdf

You're too quick :D

You're quite right, I failed to copy libcudart64.so into my boinc folder but realised after I posted.
Its up & running now, I'll post an update when I have some results.

Nice work

What about Windows support?
I am not a linux person and don't even know how to setup boinc in linux

We will support Windows but I don't know when. It could be in month or later.

There are 7 users with failed workunits at startup.
It would be very useful to know what they are running (OS, GPU, driver version) in order to understand the problem.

REMEMBER THAT YOU NEED TO UPDATE THE BOINC CLIENT (6.3.5 ubuntu) FROM THE LINK THAT I HAVE GIVEN ABOVE. YOU CANNOT USE AN OLD ONE.

Many many thanks.

Hi,

Thanks for the GPU application, i've been waiting this since a long time :)

I've got one wu in error, my system is ubuntu hardy (2.6.24.19) , forceware 177.13 and 9600GT with no oc at this time

edit: Boinc 6.3.5 of your link ;)

Hi

My 1st GPU work unit completed just fine, the next 2 failed and the 4th is running now.
Also had a machine crash just after the 1st WU completed.

Hello,

Can you tell us which GPU and drive you use for comparison?

I would say that any GPU with over 100 cores is good. We have 8800 GT, and 9800 GX2. We want to support multiple GPUs not in SLI mode, I have not tested it yet.

A machine with a quad code cpu and 2 9800 GX2 would crunch more or less 20,000 credits/day.

There are 7 users with failed workunits at startup.

Users with old version of the client would not receive work now. They will have to update to version 6.3.5.

The 4th WU has just completed after 4 hours but failed validation with process exited with code 1 message in stderr out (same as the 2nd & 3rd WUs).

I've set No New Work for the moment.
