For the time being. CUDA2.3 did not solve at all the FFT problem with 260 cards. | |

The last news says that Boinc 6.10.3 is the recommended version. But 6.10.3 is no more available for download on boinc website. | |

The last news says that Boinc 6.10.3 is the recommended version. But 6.10.3 is no more available for download on boinc website. Sure its available, along with all the older ones and the alpha test ones. Follow this link ____________ BOINC blog | |

By the way, I saw something over at World Community Grid saying that, starting with BOINC 6.10.5, it will be possible for projects to tell clients to wait longer than usual (several days) before asking for any more CPU workunits, or if appropriate, any more GPU workunits instead. The release notes for 6.10.6 mention the optional backoff in the scheduler reply. You can find the release notes here. The backoff can be specified for CPU, ATI and Cuda. ____________ BOINC blog | |

Well in my case, the new app did not even solve the computation errors at all. | |

Well... I can now confirm that on GTX260 WUs still can't be processed. There are only new bugs appears: | |

Well... I can now confirm that on GTX260 WUs still can't be processed. Not true. I have 7 GTX260's running and I have not had an error since 6.71 came out. This is my config if it is any help to anyone: Win7 64-bit, BOINC 6.10.6, nVidia 190.62, CUDA 2.3; Q6600 (standard clock), GTX260 (standard clock), 8 gig memory. I am using the same config on XP SP3 (Pentium D) 32-bit and Vista 64-bit (Q6600) Hope this helps. Cheers! ____________    | |

This problem with the 260 cards affects most but bot all users. | |

I do not have any problems with fft "bug" on GTX 260, not now, not previously. But I should state, that after update I've noticed constant & consequental processing time increasing & some kind of sudden WU amount limitation message from BOINC manager: | |

A recent version of acemd from GPUGRID and a recent version of rosetta_beta from Rosetta@home may have a compatibility problem; if not, the rosetta_beta graphics portion appears to have frozen by itself. | |

I allowed my machine with dual GTX260's to pickup a couple of work units now we have the acemd 6.71 app. I will report how it goes. | |

yes, It doesn't seem that 2.2 does either. I had a 50% success rate. One worked and one failed. ____________ BOINC blog | |

no, cuda2.2 does not. At the end is probably a driver issue. | |

Heck, I am kinda waiting for the next generation to come out so that the 260 cards and the like get pushed down to replace the 9800 series which seemed to be about the low end card that Frys was selling this weekend ... | |

Looks like the new application version also broke GTS250 support for me. Now every work unit fails with "Cuda error: Kernel [pme_fill_charges_overflow] failed in file 'fillcharges.cu' in line 97 : unknown error."or some other unknown error after few hours runtime. Only thing that changed was the application version. Oh well, I guess I disable this project until your application gets fixed or there's a stable version out for the recommended BOINC version (assuming that'll help). :( | |

no, cuda2.2 does not. At the end is probably a driver issue. Expect the next generation to start being available in the next few weeks, at least for the basic chip (GT300), although in rather small numbers. I've seen guesses that it will be early next year before many cards using it are available. Nvidia has announced that they plan to start offering some new compilers at about the same time, including some for C++ and Fortran, so expect some competition from other BOINC projects that decided to wait until compilers for those languages were available. I haven't seen a clear statement yet on whether those new compilers will also work for the older chips they already sell. | |

A recent version of acemd from GPUGRID and a recent version of rosetta_beta from Rosetta@home may have a compatibility problem; if not, the rosetta_beta graphics portion appears to have frozen by itself. Have now seen essentially the same problem with a second rosetta_beta workunit, and also with a workunit from QMC@home. A new guess on what the problem is: The newer versions of BOINC come with a screensaver that automatically displays graphics from one of the workunits that are running, waits a while, then moves those graphics to a different place on the screen. So far, the three times I've seen this problem, it's been while showing graphics that cover the whole screen, leaving no place to move them to. Therefore I'll guess that the new screensaver is unable to deal with situations when it is time to move the graphics, but the graphics are too big to leave anywhere else to move them. If this is correct, Docking@home is yet another project likely to trigger this problem, even though I haven't seen any Docking@home workunit trigger it yet. Also, many of the GPUGRID participants who also participate in any of these three other BOINC projects are likely to need instructions on how to keep the new screensaver from running at all. | |
