I assume you mean NOW available.

I'm quite busy today and my hosts still have some 6.30 to finish. I set No New Work for now and will let them finish up what they have, maybe by that time I will have some time to upgrade drivers. I need to try that before work hours. After hours I'm usually beat dead. Trying to upgrade with only 1 brain cell left usually causes problems ;)

Will let you know results probably tomorrow or Wednesday.

Hi

Thank you GDF, this application works fine on vista64 + 6.3.10 + 177.84, it seems faster than other application, fast as linux application ;)

Hi,

I made a try with these software installed:

- Vista64 SP1
- BOINC V6.3.10
- nVidia driver V177.84

Hardware:

- Intel Q9450
- nVidia 8800GTS

Messages during BOINC initialisation:

25/08/2008 18:38:06||CUDA devices found
25/08/2008 18:38:06||Coprocessor: Device Emulation (CPU) (1)

I think that you have a driver problem for your card.
What is it?
stefan had a similar problem with BOINC 6.3.10, but others are running fine.

C'est une 8800GTS 320/640mo ThierryH? si oui, elles ne fonctionnent plus sur GPUgrid avec la nouvelle application
Si c'est la 8800GTS 512, le problème est ailleur

Is it a 8800GTS 320/640mo ThierryH? if yes, they don't work anymore on GPUgrid with the new application
If it's the 8800GTS 512, the problem is somewhere else

It's a 8800GTS 320 Mo.
Why it's not longer running on GPUGrid ??

Read this http://www.ps3grid.net/forum_thread.php?id=303&nowrap=true#1658 :)

Sorry

I bought this card only for CUDA because I'm not a gamer. I think nVidia will wait a long time before I buy something else...

You didn't choose the good graphic card :)

Yep, I still have the problem.
I already tried to uninstall/reinstall the 177.84 driver for Vista64, uninstall/reinstall BOINC 6.3.10 x86_64, but the BOINC Manager still shows the device emulation.
On a GTX 260... :(

Regrettably we are no longer able to support the first generation of 8800 cards (those with 320 or 640MB of memory) because the latest application needs to use a feature that that hardware lacks.

At the moment we have no way to prevent clients with those GPUs from receiving work even though the application will immediately crash. Hopefully this will be fixed soon.

Driver 177.84 and the new app don't work for me. 177.35 & 6.30 were running fine. I have: XP32, SP2, Boinc 6.3.10 and a 9800GTX+ (55 nm chip).

- set BOINC to "no network", stopped it, made a copy of the entire folder
- updated driver from 177.35 to 177.84
- restarted, launched BOINC
- it resumed the 6.30 tasks
- I aborted them manually

- a 6.41 task started and errored immediately, but with a standard windows message box instead of a BOINC-error; I don't know the equivalent message in english, should be something like "the operation read could not be performed on the memory (location xxxxxx), press abort to debug or OK to quit"

- I restored BOINC and watched the 6.30 tasks - they errored within one minute each, giving some messages in the BOINC manager:

(note that the last one is the 6.41, it errored with the same windows message box but I also caught this BOINC manager output)

- I restored BOINC, went back to 177.35 drivers and restarted
- the 6.41 app still crashed in the same way, but the 6.30 are fine again
- I restored again and have 40 hours of 6.30 goodness left ;)

Any ideas, suggestions, wishes?

Scanning for our furry friends since Jan 2002

One of my other Team members was also having crashes with 6.41.
He detached from the project, and re-attached and now it works.

Mind you he did also go back to Boinc 6.3.8, so i dunno if it was changing Boinc versions or the detach re-attach that fixed it...

Down with the Kredit Kops!!!

Thanks, that's a good idea. Will give it a try, definitely when my 6.30 WUs are completed. Still debating with myself if I should do it earlier and risk running dry..

I done the driver update thing, detached from PS3GRID, and re-attached.
All is working fine (sofar) and using Boinc v6.3.10, since I have 2 8800GT's in this system :)

Down with the Kredit Kops!!!

Resetting the project helped! *doing some crazy happy dance*

It's running now with 177.35 and projected time is about 12h, down from previous 15h with 6.30.

Everybody should reset the project when getting the new application for cuda2 for the FIRST time.
This is due to the fact that cudart.dll for 1.0 and for 2.0 are called in the same way, so your client probably thinks it has it already.

You should not get the message "Device Emulation", but the name of your graphics card. Have you installed the driver correctly from Nvidia CUDA website as indicated in the gpugrid home page?
