Especially - look into slots folders. There you will find what task crunched by whom, what current task progress state and so on if you curious in that.

OK, that works, although a lot more cryptic than I'd hoped. ;)
I don't know BOINC very well, so forgive me asking on a bit: there is no way for a BOINC client process (i.e. the regular setiboinc ... and the Seti-MB-CUDA variant) to influence what is displayed in the BOINC Manager 'Tasks'-overview list (and I mean the fields Application or Status?)
Regards, Patrick.

No way.
If you search easier ways - use stock or kick BOINC devs to fix BOINC itself ;)

Maybe to read first post and follow its recommendations ? ;)

well i assumed that if you read my post that you would know i had 2 cores plus 1 gpu hence the "crunching 3 Ap Wu's" stated in the original post but your right i did forget the link to my host so here it is ... http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/show_host_detail.php?hostid=4773686

Ok, but time lost, now we have "under maintenance state" will take a look after.

setiathome_CUDA: Found 1 CUDA device(s):
Cuda error 'cudaGetDeviceProperties( &cDevProp, i )' in file 'd:/BTR/SETI6/SETI_MB_CUDA/client/cuda/cudaAcceleration.cu' in line 135 : invalid argument.
SO CUDA can't even detect what GPUs your host has. Check if all required DLLs installed, check driver version (at least 180.20 required) and be sure you don't use service (protected) BOINC installation.

It's known limitation of CUDA - see CUDA FAQ. It will not with remote desktop, but will work with VNC though.

Hello Raistmer,
Thanks for your hint, hard to find the CUDA 2.1 FAQ at http://forums.nvidia.com/index.php?showtopic=84440. ;)
I do not want to start a dispute here wasting your time, in case you're interested - just some thoughts:
1. The Nvidia FAQ states CUDA is not working with remote desktop - in fact it worked with v8.
2. The Seti CUDA FAQ (http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/cuda_faq.php) states it will not run with the protected install, in fact it does - at least under XP.
So I guess not all the information in those FAQ's are up to date.
If you're interested I can test the stock apps if it's working in general or not. ;) Already installed the stock apps on one system today to see if it's running without a remote desktop connection and would test it with remote desktop tomorrow.
Will have a look on TightVNC for sure, used that before switching to remote desktop sessions some years ago - so it's not a big thing and should work as VNC does not login as 'second' user on the PC (looks like that may be the real root cause as mentioned by Vager before).
Thanks again + cheers,
yodi

Hello
Here is a link of my Q6600 with no CUDA only 4 cores, running optimized sss3 clients.
http://stats.free-dc.org/stats.php?page=hostbycpid&cpid=ff50ecddd761032e2f58f60bfe3ba7cb
Look how well it does.
Here is a link to my Q6600 with 9800+8800 V10 Multi GPU + CPU SSSE3 team
http://stats.free-dc.org/stats.php?page=hostbycpid&cpid=c4231145f02b77aa55256fbefc80b63a
And Finally my Amd3400+ 8800 V9 GPU+CPU AMD SSE3 Team
http://stats.free-dc.org/stats.php?page=hostbycpid&cpid=e786f5ec1dfe91bb54beddb9dfc27893
The CUDA systems barely do any work. Seems like only the cpus is working and the GPU lacks behind. Does 2-3 or three results then the rest is done by the cpu. In other order words I dont think seti is sending much cuda work.
Thank you
