Hi

I have seen two WU's that falls back to cpu mode even if it's not a VLAR..

Check output below..

setiathome_CUDA: CUDA Device 5 specified, checking...
   Device 5: GeForce GTX 295 is okay
SETI@home using CUDA accelerated device GeForce GTX 295
Rise priority modification by Raistmer based on rev400 of SETI@home sources

Wonder how comes that it states no memory available when there are 770Mb of free gpu memory?!

Kind Regards Vyper

And you know that for a fact, cos you have something check how much memory is actually being used, or is that your guess as Seti should use some 200MB of the 895MB that the card has? And that's 200MB+ per task, per GPU, so 2 GPUs = 400MB+ ...

Two tasks getting stuck eats up over 400MB of memory, leaving you with approx. 490MB for the next two tasks, which may want to start at the start of memory, find it blocked by other tasks and end up crashing.

Just reboot the computer to clear the VRAM.

He may be running with this info but that looks like only 78 mb of free memory

Sorry my bad.. Didn't notice that it occupied whole ram?!

72 mb free gpuram..

Must check that particular gpuboard so it doesn't overheat or anything causing corruptions..

Thanks for noticing..

Kind regards Vyper

I had to run the numbers twice. I thought I had missed a digit as well

@ -= Vyper =-

Which Raistmer version you let run?


@ all

I had also some Out Of Memory errors..
But I guess with the system RAM.

I have 2 x 1 GB sticks installed.
Maybe it have something to do with the settings in Windows?

Message 876871

I have the settings to:
'Background services' and 'System cache'.

[Average RAM usage: ~ 600 - 700 MB]
