GPU client

[Raistmer]

Btw for the record.. cuda application works in X64 Xp environment if u use 32 bit cuda toolkit in Windows XP x86-64 instead of 64 bit.  Noticed that today! 

Hm, did you complete toolkit install or just used separate DDLs needed by seticuda?

[Vyper]

Complete!

[Numanoid]

Thanks for the help thus far, all.

I renamed the optimized client to default-5-15.exe and moved sahcuda.exe to the Science_apps folder.  The bench ran correctly, but I ran into more errors.

I've attached the log.

Curious, how do i test the sahcuda.exe?
I installed cuda 1.0 + sdk but all i get is:

SETI@home error -108 Unknown error
from boinc_init_diagnostics()
File: ..\main.cpp
Line: 239

Do i need to install cuda 1.1? or do i need more to run sahcuda (or the sahcudavarch11 etc)

[Devaster]

this not related to cuda - cuda eerors are another ....

I am confused with all the info in here so i dont really understand what i need to do to get this up and running
i have a vista 64 bit machine however my understanding is that if i installed the cuda 32bit s/w then no issues

i have a quadcore at 3.4ghz
and 3 8800 ultras in a sli configuration i have to use the 169.25 drivers for this to work however that is a higher revision then the .11
4gb of memory

currently if i try to run the knabench 1.43 at default it goes to cpu 1 affinity if i set it to use 0-3 it will still only used 25% of the total power of the cpu

i also do not know were to put the sahcuda sahcudagpu11 sahcudavarch11 

i also see many refrences to xml files but i dont know were these are coming from or the edit i need to make to them or were they need to go

i moved the sahcuda exes into the science apps location

the  sec run times make be belive that it is not running at all and is geting some sort of error ?


if i try to run the files by the self in the seti projects location i get
SETI@home error -108 Unknown error
from boinc_init_diagnostics()
File: ..\main.cpp
Line: 239

SETI@home error -108 Unknown error

i see that some one says to move the  init_data.xml  file but i dont know were that is from or were to move it to or what edits to make


ok with bionic i figured out that app info xml file is really just telling the service witch exe to proc i got it working with KWSN_2.4_SSSE3_IPP_Ben-Joe however when i tried to set it to either of the 3 sahcuda exe's it would fail to inilize and spam the message log

also are under 2 hour jobs normal ? or is that only because i have just etup bionic now and it is trying to base line ?

i have a vista 64 bit machine however my understanding is that if i installed the cuda 32bit s/w then no issues

ONLY Windows XP....

3 way sli will only work under vista

do any of the combatablity tools work  ?

I also have the abiltiy to load virtual machines or would cuda not work under vmware ?

[citroja]

hey all,

  Its been a while but I finally got an 8000 series video card (8600 GTS).  So now I can start testing...(it's in a comp running Vista, is that going to be an issue?)

  I also picked up another 7800GTX card but I don't think that CUDA runs on the 7000 series card (please confirm).

to clone :

try it  i dont kjnow if it is real but try ....


i think if vmware don't virtualize a graphics card then it can run. but if a graphics card is virtual then no, CUDA need direct access to hw thru kernel ...

to citroja :

ee only winxp

[citroja]

ok...well it looks like I am still sitting this one out

I will keep an eye on the posts and help as i can.

Good Luck!

VMware creates a video device

"VMware SVGA ll"

So i guess i am out of luck unless i load xp

Currently i avg about 30 min a unit per core so 8 units an hour

How much faster would the 3 8800 ultra's be ?

[riha]

Whatever happened to the version that works on on other cards than 8xxx cards?

 I am talking about this thread: http://lunatics.kwsn.net/windows/gpu-crunching-question.180.html

this app development i have stopped ...

Hi Devaster, Sorry to hear that, Though I am sure you have your reasons.  Although I have no idea about GPU programming I appreciate the potential it may hold to make extra use of a much untapped resource.  Would you like me to preserve any code in my repository ? [Technically OUR repository, It just happens to be at my place till we find a better more permanent home  ]  It would seem a shame if that work should go to waste.
