GPU clients

[Bender10]

I just ran a test with the Windoze client. Works fine, but it is not ready for crunching yeti. It just does random units and will not SCORE them...

But It gave me a chance to -bench another GPU for future use.

OK, Doomeva and I have been trying to get the RC5 DNetc app to install and run under Ubuntu64 on my Opteron 165. We get this error:

RC5 cuda: CUDA CORE ERROR: setting the device when a process is active is not allowed

We have d/l and installed Nvidia Cuda 180.06 (although the site calls it 180.60 just to confuse us).

We installed Dnetc and configured it with the e-mail addy and it d/l 24 work units. However, it still gives the CUDA CORE ERROR.

Doomeva has stormed off in a huff saying the Dnet programmers are lazy and haven't configured it to look in the directory where Nvidia has put the CUDA files.

Any help appreciated.

Are you using the 64-bit version of Ubuntu? Are you using the 8.10 version of Ubuntu? If you are using the 64-bit, use the 177 version of of the video driver. You also need the cuda library files. PM me your email addy and I will send you a copy of what AMDave sent to me, or get them from Dave if he is handier for you. I will be here all day and will watch for your PM. That should get you running.

What are you talking here, the boinc client for working on seti beta? Or the in work version on the dnetc one?

Yes.

Yes.

OK, I was using 180.06

You also need the cuda library files.

I have them installed and the 3D test "gears" works

PM me your email addy and I will send you a copy of what AMDave sent to me, or get them from Dave if he is handier for you. I will be here all day and will watch for your PM. That should get you running.

tar.gz sent

180.xx should be ok as well

3 days left on this version of the client.
Keeping the eyes peeled for the new version

Thanks got it.

I'll wake the night owl soon and see if we can get this application sorted. (He went to bed at 3am, maybe he's working in the South African timezone or something )

[Brucifer]

yeah, I sent it too. I logged on here, saw the PM, and sent the file. Looked in here and see that AMDave was Johnny on the spot and beat me!!

[vaughan]

Its running nicely. 215M keys per sec. Is that good or what? GPU Temp has gone from 48C to 59C so it appears to be working.

Thank you for the help.

[Brucifer]

Glad to hear you are up and running. What card do you have???
