SETI MB CUDA for Linux

<< < (85/162) > >>

IanJ:
Guys,
 Forgive if this is not the place for posting questions, but from what I read here I think it is.
 I have installed the Crunchr CUDA app on my FedoraCore10 64bit machine. After a fair amount of grief with segfaults, today I finally managed to get my first result in. However two of my results this morning have a strange error. Could anyone elaborate on what the problem is and what I should do to fix it. The card is a 9600GT. Here is the output:-

<core_client_version>6.6.36</core_client_version>

Thanks!

Just yesterday I put the new ap 5.06 in, but I haven't got any astropulse workunits yet. So currently only MB.

My load averages are above 4 and usually below 5.5

A GTX285 should be able to do 10000-14000 RAC alone.

With all those stuff running in your desktop I don't know if it would be a good idea to buy a low non-CUDA capable card for X and have your other 2 cards dedicated to CUDA. Of course your motherboard would need 3 PCI-E slots.

You're probably running the 2.2 cuda app with 2.1 libraries. Get the newer 2.2 or even better the 2.3 cuda libraries. Also you'll have to upgrade your NVIDIA driver to a 2.2 (185.18.xx) or 2.3 (190.xx) compatible one.

IanJ:
Sunu,
 I'll try with the 2.2. I've installed Cuda Driver 185.18.14 (2.2? from the nvidia website). Previously installed I had 185.18.36. I have now installed the Cuda Toolkit 2.2, set my PATH and amended ldconfig.
 I now await tasks from SETI, at the moment it's out of work.

well problem is i am now spoiled.. i had an 8600gt 256mb card i used for my desktop and ran the tesla for cuda before i got the 285. the 285 is several orders of magnitude better in desktop performance. i think i would rather just replace the tesla with a 2nd 285 and let that one crunch full speed and let this one do as it can. would still be a large improvement over the tesla in the 2nd slot. either that or maybe buy a motherboard with 3 slots that can take 3 of these cards leaving room for them to breathe and get a gtx 260 to use for my desktop and minor cuda crunching and let both 285 have at it full steam. i expect the 260 should be up to the task for my desktops.

185.18.14 is older than 185.18.36, why rollback? Also try cuda 2.3 with 190.xx driver, it's faster than 2.2.

Or maybe get a GTX295 in place of tesla and no need for a new motherboard.

TO ALL
Please see this thread and take proper action (abort those workunits): I've lost quite a few credits because of this.
