Gotta head out the door. However I downloaded the new linux cuda beta and fired it off. Immediately got the message that it couldn't find the libcudart.so.blah whatever the real name is. So what's the real way to get the libraries installed???? Anyone figured that out yet?

The first beta would look in the local directory for needed files. The second beta doesn't. In looking at a couple other places they say that 8.10 isn't supported by the latest cuda sdk... ??? To get the sdk to work others have had to change c++ compiler versions, then compile? Major pain, when they could just make a little rpm file that would plop the libraries in for people that aren't doing any development. But then I haven't played around with ubuntu at all. So if someone has all this figured out a nice line by line expose on how to do it would be nice. Less than 12 hours and the current client expires.

I have the same.
Looking into it.

[AMDave]

got it.
It is no longer just looking for it on the path, it is looking for it in the location that CUDA 2.x puts it in, which is different to where CUDA 1.x put it oddly enough.

The fix is simple.

use root / sudo to copy the libcudart.so.2 file into the folder /usr/lib64/

... and ALAKAZAM! you are kicking some ass again.

let me know if you have any problems...with the client

/ed - note that if you are using the same folder you should run your cache down before starting the new client version -ed/

Thank you. Off and running again. Core 9 for the 260, and core 1 for the 9800GT's.

So I take it we're using v2.9102.508b now?

Yes. AMDave addressed the issue of the library files. You copy them with the command line of:

sudo cp libcudart.so.2 /usr/lib64/

and it will ask you for your password and then copy the library file to the other directory. You can just untar the new beta file into another directory and copy the dnetc and dnetc.1 files right over the old beta ones in the same directory you are running those in. As for the buff-in file, it will be okay, it will just start the unit it was crunching before over again but since it only takes a few seconds to crunch it it doesn't really matter.

Well the team went over 1 meelion rc5 units today.

Lookin good!!!

Interesting. After I installed the latest client my speed went from 215 Mkey/sec to 279. Maybe they tweaked the client a little?

[Brucifer]

yes they did. If you go read the bugs thread on distributed.net where they were working on the client, several people put a lot of work into core design on the client. Paid of pretty good too!!

Can I archive the OGR project?
