VBscript Fights Cuda

[Jason G]

Maik! Where are you?  have been using the script for some time with the service restart mods.  Works well, Now it needs some small modifcatiion to avoid erroneuosly picking up AStropulse 5.03 WU filenames, which seem to now have a simile filename pattern with .wu in it  .  Is there some small mod so we can ignore ones starting with 'ap_' ?

private trouble ...

Yes, that should be possible. I've never had running ap+cuda so never had that problem ...

Is it possible to watch for 2 tasks, not one? (for dual GPU setup)

Should be possible but not with actual code structure. It is based on one filename with one process-ID. At the begining of sh-cuda and the big trouble with it I wasnt thinking that it is needed to write code for dual-card rigs

On single GPU host I have no freezes at all but on dual GPU one under Win x64 9400GT tends to hang each few hours
So I should manually check that host pretty often...

Do they have different filenames on the WTM if they are running?
e.g.
a) setiathome_6.08_windows_intelx86__cuda_1.exe
b) setiathome_6.08_windows_intelx86__cuda_2.exe

No, but they would have different working directories ( Slot # at the end of the path) if that's at all accessible.  (Not familiar with the WMI interface myself).

hi. please forgive my stupidity, but i am interested in this vb-script but have no idea where i can get it. looked in the download-section.

Hi there,
  This workaround is by Maik, and as such isn't hosted here in downloads.  You should find links & attachment on the previous page at http://lunatics.kwsn.net/gpu-crunching/vbscript-fights-cuda.msg13136.html#msg13136 .  I recommend (as it seems to work well for me)  that if you have Boinc installed as a service (protected application), making the modification that restarts the service instead of killing the tasks.  The directions for the modifications are an attachment to a post on this page called 'BounceBM.txt'.

Thank you very much for your directions. It's working perfectly.
