The information sent out to our clients (on Windows, at least) suggests that even the current cuda80 applications require 512 MB of GPU RAM - which sounds too small, and is probably a left-over from earlier, simpler days.

The effective limit will be stored in the plan class specification on the project server, and is not visible to volunteers like us. Because the problem is that work is simply not being sent to your computer, there's nothing useful you can do locally to specify how your BOINC client should run the tasks you haven't got. [I did look at the <coproc> option in cc_config.xml, but that doesn't allow you to modify the declared memory size]

The only other possibility that comes to mind is to leverage the Anonymous platform mechanism: re-define the project's own application in an app_info.xml file. That bypasses the plan_class checking at the server, but it's tricky and time-consuming to get right, and you probably won't think it's worth the effort.

Ok, so today Ubuntu has released an NVIDIA driver update to version 375.66.
The problem of not getting WUs still persists.

Michael.

P.S.: To my knowledge, GPUs with V-RAM equal or below 1 GB won't get any work since quite a while.

I think the bottom line is: Gpugrid changed servers - we'll be right back. When they did that something changed. I was averaging aprox. 500,000 credits per day pre change - now: "... got 0 tasks ...".

From what I can see Gpugrid is a small group of Phd bodies who's focus is the critical thinking about how "all-atom biomolecular simulations" work and not how the work is accomplished. First you open the box and take the hardware out, set it on the bench, take the powercord and ... "But my simulation formula?".

Dear Management, There are hundreds of 'us' out here who live for unpacking the box, writing the code, designing a database. biomolecWHO? Not our thing and you can take/have 100% of the credit. I'm(we're) happy as I fall asleep thinking "they used my code (and I'm the only one who will ever know). <smile> zzzzzzz....

Fedora-26, 20gb mem, GTX770 w 4gb ram, Cuda 8.0, Nivdia 384.59 = "got 0 tasks".

If you can go back to a driver that supports cuda 6.5 and you should get the old App as I do on my 660ti cc 3.0

If you can go back to a driver that supports cuda 6.5 and you should get the old App as I do on my 660ti cc 3.0

This solution works only for Windows hosts, as there's no CUDA6.5 client present for Linux (see the applications page)

Aah, sorry.
