What are we waiting for at this point? The developer of your software to update to the new Cuda?

Our Windows app has until now been built as a 32bit Windows XP application. CUDA 8 has dropped support for this platform, so we are having to move to a 64bit Windows 7 development platform. This is causing some problems, but it should be done in a while.

Hi Matt,

May you please answer Zoltan's question a few posts back? I am curious as well as to what the details of the new app will be.

Most importantly to me and maybe some other's that Zoltan asked:

Will we have to upgrade from windows XP, or can we stick with it and keep NVidia driver 359.09?

Thanks

I'm asking about windows xp because I'm wondering if we can still use the older app.

To spoil my next post -- If you have a Pascal GPU you will need driver 360+, Windows 7 and 64bit.

Older GPUs will keep the current 65 app.

Okay thank you

I Appreciate it.

Cruncher/Learner in progress.

FAH uses OpenCL, not CUDA, so the same WUs can run on any card.

But there's no answer here why 8.5 is needed vs another version from what I've seen.

What are the pluses and minuses in using OpenCL over CUDA?

Or was that already posted somewhere in this form?

When you will support Pascal GPU on Linux hosts?

Testing should start next week, or the following week (depending on Matt's availability and results testing on Windows).

Hello,

Good news, I finaly change my laptop with a 850M for a desktop (HP Omen 870) with a 1080 founders edition. Yesterday, I have tested GPUGRID but with short I had errors after 2 seconds of computation.

I have intalled CUDA 8 avec 375.63 drivers.

Until the app arrive, I chrunch for PimeGrid.

Until the app arrive, I chrunch for PimeGrid.

You can have another try now, as the version 9.14 app is working fine.
Your host was running the previous versions, which weren't working.

Just checking in. I have a 1080 and 1070 waiting for a Windows app. They've been busy on Einstein in the meantime.

Still waiting on the release of CUDA 8.5

Well, in the light of yesterday's events, could you please explain this post?

Good morning,

Thanks Retvari Zoltan, the 9.14 short runs APP works fine, 73 % of charge on my 1080 at 1809 Mhz.

I allow test applications and short runs. Usually, I prefer long runs, these apps give more credit.

Another question, I understand that Fermi GPU are out of support with GPUGRID, is it true ?

Basically yes.
There are some batches which will work on Fermi cards, but question which batches are these can be answered only by experience (=there will be a lot of failed workunits on Fermi GPUs). Fermi cards have so poor energy efficiency compared to recent generations that they are rather not recommended.

Just throwing it out there but you can look on my 2nd PC as well that has a GTX 460.

https://www.gpugrid.net/results.php?hostid=388795

Although it is far slower compared to my GTX 960, I've had success so far. I plan on this only being a temporary GPU, as I will upgrade within the next month or two.

Hello,

Thanks for this precisions, I have a GTX 580 :
https://www.gpugrid.net/show_host_detail.php?hostid=102868
But the motherboard is out, and I put this GPU into a computer with Vista :
https://www.gpugrid.net/show_host_detail.php?hostid=358931

But the driver is not supported (I have also another old card into and the 322 driver is the latest driver can support the 2 cards) , and I think it is not necessary to intall linux to use this old card with gpugrid.

Maybe this winter if I need more heat system power.
Yes I heat my house with computers.......

I have a GTX 1060 card and noticed that the server sends both cuda65 and cuda80 tasks to my machine. The cuda65 tasks obviously won't run due to the well known incompatibility issue. This is a waste of perfectly good WUs (which are hard to come by anyway). Is there something I can do to prevent getting cuda65 tasks?

Hmm, I do not know why it would be sending you those but for now I would check the WUs and abort the cuda65 WU as this allows someone else with the appropriate hardware to grab it.

What version of Linux and what driver are you using?
Have you upgraded your GPU or driver?

I am running openSUSE 42.1 with the 375.20 driver. The card is new.
