Does PS3Grid work on Ageia PhysX PPUs?
I installed the new BOINC Version, it says "CUDA devices found" on startup, but I keep on getting client errors / compute errors right after computation has started: http://www.gpugrid.net/results.php?userid=7574

Am I doing something wrong? Will it never work at all?

I'd be surprised if it's ever supported in any way.

Well, it's a CUDA device and BOINC said it found the CUDA device (I don't have NVidia graphics cards), so I thought I should give it a try. I thought CUDA is a generalized API which should take care of the specific hardware, so that everything developed on CUDA should work on every CUDA device...

BTW, here's the error the workunits produce:

<core_client_version>6.3.10</core_client_version>
<![CDATA[

The G80 (compute capability 1.0) based cards are also Cuda devices and recognized as such, but not supported by the projects Cuda 2.0 app.

If your cards would support Cuda computing capabilities of 1.1 you might have been able to join the party ;-)

Thanks for the answer. This means there's no chance whatsoever to get it running with a future driver update or something like that, because it's basically insufficient hardware?

Looks like :-/

The Ageia Physx is so totally different hardware that even if CUDA managed to make the code compatible I'd imagine it would run horribly slow / inefficient.
