Hi there, I've been using boinc for quite a while now under Linux and I wanted to start using Cuda. In my laptop I have a nvidia quadro nvs 140m, which is cuda capable Fri 12 Jun 2009 03:31:08 PM CEST CUDA device: Quadro NVS 140M (driver version 0, compute capability 1.1, 128MB, est. 5GFLOPS) I dont know if its performance is really that low, but it would give my cpu a rest :-) Actually no computation is done on the GPU, I asume that is because it has only 128MiB built-in memory. Since it has the capabillity to allocate up to 512MiB of the system RAM, I thought it would still be possible to let the GPU do some work.. So I am asking if there will be support for such graphics devices or if one needs a gpu which itself has more than 256MiB.. as I said, the nvs 140m can allocate a whole lot more on its own.. |

The onboard RAM has to be a minimum of 256MB. The CUDA app that nVidia programmed for SETI does not use borrowed system RAM at all. |

Ok, thanks for the reply :-) Maybe I'll get a dockstation for my thinkpad and put in some "real" graphics hardware :-) |

Gut, dass jetzt die Fähnchen angezeigt werden, sonst hätte ich das "Butterbrot" nicht erkannt ;-) Gruß, Gundolf Computer sind nicht alles im Leben. (Kleiner Scherz) SETI@home classic workunits 3,758 SETI@home classic CPU time 66,520 hours |
