What is this telling me?

Waiting to run (0.04 CPUs + 1 NVIDIA GPU) (Scheduler wait) ??

I have both and ATI and an NVIDIA card in this box and it's grabbed a couple CUDA AP WUs but has been sitting at (Scheduler Wait) for a while now. Ever so often it will say running but only for a half second.

Thanks

If I yank out the ATI 7570 card, the NVIDIA 640 then starts crunching.

The ATI has a 1GB and the 640 has 2GB.

Your computers are hidden, we can't tell anything about why this might be happening.

It looks like you have 7 CPU tasks, 2 ATI V7s and 3 Nvidia APs all trying to load, my guess would be you don't have enough free CPUs configured. Try limiting it to 6 CPU tasks at a time.

Thanks.

Switched it to 80%, one of the CPU tasks suspended but the NVIDIAa are still scheduler wait.

I would downgrade your Nvidia drivers to the 314.22 drivers, I had the same problem when I tried running 320.xx Cuda5.5 drivers on my mixed Nvidia/ATI host.

This is what I got with the x41zc Cuda app:

Cuda error 'cudaMalloc((void**) &dev_cx_DataArray' in file 'c:/[Projects]/__Sources/sah_v7_opt/Xbranch/client/cuda/cudaAcceleration.cu' in line 328 : all CUDA-capable devices are busy or unavailable.

- Performance is not a simple linear function of the number of CPUs you throw at the problem. -

@Claggy, in progress. Downloading now.

@Claggy: That did it. They are both running now. Good on ya!

Thanks and Cheers!
