i know how to get this error :(
these wu where (re)started by boinc when i was playing tf2. the fact is that nvidia driver can't allocate enough memory for the cuda application when there is a heavy gfx game running :(

i think that boinc should take a look at the video memory before starting this kind of tasks.

what OS, BOINC version, and driver version do you have? Also, what type of video card are you running?

This is by default in CUDA. Graphics has precedence vs a CUDA program. So if you a game request more memory, the CUDA application terminates to release the memory.

what OS, BOINC version, and driver version do you have? Also, what type of video card are you running?

xp 32b / boinc 6.3.10 / 177.84
geforce 8800gts 512

I had an 8800GT running just fine but had to re-install Vista Ultimate from scratch (HD foo-faa).

New HD.
Installed the Cuda drivers (Vista 64) just like before. Installed 6.3.10 just like before.

Now I get this message with the w/u's.

Cuda error in file 'deviceQuery.cu" Line 59 Initialization error

Any ideas????

Something is not as before.
Have you installed boinc NOT in protected mode?
Have you installed the latest service packs and drivers?

Today i got the same message as below.

But i don't change anything on this computer, just the drivers (177.92).

I don't use this computer, i'm at work!

Boinc isn't install with service option and secure mode.
6.3.10, XP x64, 177.92

So what's happen?

I've the same on 3 WU on my P5bv / 4Gb DDR2-8500 with :
XP32 / 6.3.10 / driver 177.92 on NVIDIA 8600GTS 256Mb ---> G84
I sugest to see in the file deviceQuery.cu at ligne 59, what king of parameters (memory size, ... )it used and put then im the error message to give more informations to debug.

After i load se cuba SDK to see what look like the file. I think the deviceQuery.cu is to be reWritten completly.

I sugest :

// Program main
int
main( int argc, char** argv)
{
int deviceCount=0, dev=0;

CUDA_SAFE_CALL(cudaGetDeviceCount(&deviceCount));

if (deviceCount == 0)
printf("There is no device supporting CUDA\n");
else
{
if (deviceCount == 1)
printf("There is 1 device supporting CUDA\n");
else
printf("There are %d devices supporting CUDA\n", deviceCount);

cudaDeviceProp deviceProp[deviceCount];

for (dev = 0; dev < deviceCount; ++dev) {

CUDA_SAFE_CALL(cudaGetDeviceProperties(&deviceProp[dev], dev));

if (dev == 0) { // see CudaRefenreceManuel 1.1.1 cudaGetDeviceCount
if (deviceProp[dev].major == 9999 && deviceProp[dev].minor == 9999)
printf("The device is no supporting CUDA.\n");
}

printf("\n Device %d: \"%s\"\n", dev, deviceProp[dev].name);

#endif

}
printf("\nTest PASSED\n");

}

Are you running any other applications that might be taking GPU memory? (Games or other 3D applications for example.)

Can you say something whats happened with this WUs? And how to avoid this errors?

This seems a device driver problem.

I've been out of town for a few days. I piled up a few errors with a bunch of 6.43 and 1 - 6.45 apps:

Boinc 6.3.10


I am over my quota for today. But I have rebooted the box. I don't game on this box, and run 1 other Boinc Project alongside PS3Grid.

Experience is a wonderful thing: it enables you to recognize a mistake every time you repeat it.

Ok, I picked up a new wu, and it is running 00:08 seconds at 18% finished....

Experience is a wonderful thing: it enables you to recognize a mistake every time you repeat it.

This just started happening to my machine (XP64, 6gb, 6.3.10, 177.92, GTX 280). It is a dedicated cruncher. It successfully crunched 4 tasks under 6.45, then 7 of these errors in a row. I am rebooting to see if that helps.

I will have to wait a day, to see if rebooting helped. The failures maxed out my daily quota.

After the reboot. The wu finished with no errors. I'll keep an eye on the memory usage....

http://www.ps3grid.net/result.php?resultid=58599

But the run time increased from ~54,000 to 65,000 seconds.

Rebooting seems to have solved the problem, at least for now. I'll post if it happens again.

4 days later, it happened again. 8 tasks errored out in a row. I will reboot again.

Have you checked the size of the boincmgr.exe in the taskmanager? I had the problem, that he is growing in memory when he's open. Up to 1,5 GB in one day. If you close him, he's running without problems. I close and restart the boincmanager daily, so I have no problem furthermore. I wait for the 6.3.11 and hope, this is fixed.
