Hi

Thank you GDF, this application works fine on vista64 + 6.3.10 + 177.84, it seems faster than other application, fast as linux application ;)

Hi,

I made a try with these software installed:

- Vista64 SP1
- BOINC V6.3.10
- nVidia driver V177.84

Hardware:

- Intel Q9450
- nVidia 8800GTS

Messages during BOINC initialisation:

C'est une 8800GTS 320/640mo ThierryH? si oui, elles ne fonctionnent plus sur GPUgrid avec la nouvelle application
Si c'est la 8800GTS 512, le problème est ailleur

Is it a 8800GTS 320/640mo ThierryH? if yes, they don't work anymore on GPUgrid with the new application
If it's the 8800GTS 512, the problem is somewhere else

It's a 8800GTS 320 Mo.
Why it's not longer running on GPUGrid ??

Read this http://www.ps3grid.net/forum_thread.php?id=303&nowrap=true#1658 :)

Sorry

I bought this card only for CUDA because I'm not a gamer. I think nVidia will wait a long time before I buy something else...

____________

You didn't choose the good graphic card :)

I think that you have a driver problem for your card.
What is it?
stefan had a similar problem with BOINC 6.3.10, but others are running fine.

One of my other Team members was also having crashes with 6.41.
He detached from the project, and re-attached and now it works.

Mind you he did also go back to Boinc 6.3.8, so i dunno if it was changing Boinc versions or the detach re-attach that fixed it...

Down with the Kredit Kops!!!

Thanks, that's a good idea. Will give it a try, definitely when my 6.30 WUs are completed. Still debating with myself if I should do it earlier and risk running dry..

not working for me.

You should not get the message "Device Emulation", but the name of your graphics card. Have you installed the driver correctly from Nvidia CUDA website as indicated in the gpugrid home page?

best, gdf

Geforce 8800 GTS with 640MB is a G80 Chip, same with the 320MB Version. Only the 8800GTS with 512 and 1024MB are G92 Versions that support Cuda 1.1...

Can someone clarify what makes a card cuda2 compatible please.

We all do this as a hobby/passion/obsession and it isn't cheap.
I would hate for someone to spend hard earned cash on a card that is immediately made obsolete by the introduction of cuda2.

Some 8800GT's are cuda2 compatible, some are not. Is it just the amount of memory?
The previous post mentions G80 & G92 architectures, is it that? If so, are all G92s ok?

Something along the lines of "if your card supports xyz you're ok for cuda2" and an indication of where we can find if our cards support xyz would be good.

Your project has certainly gained a lot of interest since you introduced GPU processing but these things cost money so anything that would help future proof users spending would be beneficial to both you and your users.

So far so good.

On WindowsXP with 8800GT-512MB

I got ready to install 6.3.10, made a backup, then realized I already had that installed. Told you my brain gets fried after a day of work. So Upgraded NVIDIA drivers to 177.84. Rebooted. After startup, Enabled work and reset project. I got a 6.41 and has been running about 30 minutes.

I'll update 2 work computers tomorrow with 6.3.10 and 177.84. They should have finished all current work by then.

Is anyone else running 6.3.10 and crunching a CPU project as well as a CPU project? Have you encountered any GPU WU errors?

I swapped my rather temperamental 8800GT card to a P4 HT 3GHz running 32 bit Vista. Using drivers 177.79 and Ntune to force standard 600/900MHz clocks all seems very stable......until that is the parallel CPU WU for another project reports its' result. At the very second the CPU WU completes and starts upload, the GPU WU crashes with an error: Cuda error: Kernel [frc_sum_kernel_angle] failed in file 'force.cu' in line 487 : unknown error.

I've lost two WU on this box as a result of this behaviour, the first was after 13.5 hours crunch time (just 30 minutes from completion, the second after 5 hours.

I can't see any signs of instability on the clocks now, so I've suspended the CPU project while the GPU crunches away. Perhaps the P4 HT is not servicing the GPU in a timely manner when it is busy with the other WU from the CPU project?

I got also this message. I have a 8400GS and it crashes directly after downlod and start.

It's a 8800GTS 320 Mo.
Why it's not longer running on GPUGrid ??

Regrettably we are no longer able to support the first generation of 8800 cards (those with 320 or 640MB of memory) because the latest application needs to use a feature that that hardware lacks.

Same problem on the 8800GT of my team mate, what can we do to resolve this?

He is on vista64 SP1 with boinc 6.3.10 too, he uses 177.84 but I an too on vista64 SP1 + boinc 6.3.10 and 177.84 ... it works fine for me :/ I don't understand

AFAIK you are the only one with Vista 64 who does not get the device emulation message...

I have vista 64 SP1, boinc 6.3.10, |PS3GRID|Starting task ldj8613-GPUTEST2-0-10-acemd_0 using acemd version 641, Nvidia-driver 177.92, 8400GS
Any idee what I can do?

Thx for every help

177.92 is a beta driver which was released yesterday. You can get it from nvidia.com ...
I´ll give it a try if it works on my PC.

Whre did you get 177.92 driver from ?

The only ones on the cuda download page are 177.84. Did you try 177.84. Most (not all) people here running 177.84 are working OK.

I forgot:

Folding@home runs fine on my system.

Still no joy with 177.92 - BOINC still shows the device emulation...
Weird, but Folding runs fine with every driver since 177.35. :(

I also keep getting the error on Vista 64 bit, and have Folding@Home running fine.

OK, I've got an error on 1 of 2 hosts, on the first attempt using 6.41 with 177.84 drivers on Windows XP. I do not know what happened, I think this was after I left work, although I did not check before I left if all was running fine.

I can not tell from home at the moment if they are still running OK.

But my home computer with Windows XP did complete its first 6.41 under 177.84 driver, its still in ready to report state, but it was 100% finished at 15:31:57 cpu time. The 2nd one has been running for 5.5 hours so far.

I also keep getting the error on Vista 64 bit, and have Folding@Home running fine.

It is NOW available.

You are not the only one, me and others are having the same problem :-/

For now I put the card that crunches the project to some other pc. Using the computer was really no fun while PS3GRID was running.

Once the problem is solved (assuming that it will be handled in future releases) I'm ready to buy one more card for my normal workstation.
