22) Questions and Answers : GPU applications : How to install CUDA 2.3? (Message 920839) Posted 23 Jul 2009 by BigDaddyDave Post: Noob question: Want to have CUDA 2.3 working? Where can I Dl the needed files? Hmmm, I'm just confused now. So we can update our CUDA with the 3rd party appl DLL files? I can see that Nvida drivers will not. Get Chrunchin' BDDave

If we can put a man on the moon then we can fix this bandwith database issue. We just need the NASA $1 billion funding. Oh wait....DAMN! In the mean time use the force Matt! Get crunchin' Dave
24) Questions and Answers : GPU applications : New Nvidia video driver version 190.38 released (Message 920496) Posted 22 Jul 2009 by BigDaddyDave Post: Sutaru , Thanks for the thread from what I have read, I CAN update my EVGA GTX 260 Core 216 to a higher version of Cuda. Joseph asked a question on the board titled CUDA version that was answered as a possible "no." I thought I was going to be stuck at CUDA 1.3. Get crunchin' Dave

26) Questions and Answers : GPU applications : My CUDA Story (Message 917655) Posted 14 Jul 2009 by BigDaddyDave Post: Hi Peter Farrow, I would suggest that you download NVIDIAÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s free GPU over clocking tool, it has a lot of the answers to your questions in an easy to use GUI (I've bumped up the original message in this forum for you to click on) search for "EVGA Precision Over clocking Tool v1.7.1" or just click http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/forum_thread.php?id=53202. Also, per some of the members, you don't even need an NVIDIA card to use it on some GPU. Regarding the quest to over clock, this tool will let you test it first to prevent OS crashes. As for MHz increments, I found bumping it up in 10 MHz increments at a time and then waiting about 10 seconds for the system to catch up works best. For the temps, you can use the build in fan adjustments. I'm at 80% but may increase since it is summer. And last down load NVIDIA CUDA 2.0, it will crunch your SETI CUDAs faster!

31) Questions and Answers : GPU applications : simple stop getting cuda wu (Message 913639) Posted 3 Jul 2009 by BigDaddyDave Post: Hi Bloodrain, It's just you..... Just kidding, it's everyone; the boys over at SETI are having database issues and are tweaking it again until all starts to run smoothly again. At certain times this week I have not received AP WUs, SET@Home(CUDA) WUs and am currently only running SETI@Home WUs. SETI happens! Whenever you notice that you are not receiving certain types of work units(WU), please go to the "Message boards : Technical News," and your answer will be there for you.

35) Questions and Answers : GPU applications : New version 6.6.31 not exiting? (Message 908324) Posted 17 Jun 2009 by BigDaddyDave Post: Did anyone happen to notice on the new version exiting the boinc manager takes it out of the system tray but does not stop it from running? Dude tell me about it! I can't close BOINC unless I reboot my computer but I have an easy get around for everyone. Right click on the BOINC icon and select "Snooze." You will notice that the Seti work units will disappear in the "Windows Task Manager." Do what you need to do then go back and unclick "Snooze" again. Get Crunchin! BDDave

37) Questions and Answers : GPU applications : Running E8500 and CUDA. Only 1 CPU core works? (Message 903870) Posted 5 Jun 2009 by BigDaddyDave Post: Running AP unit on 1 CPU yet the other CPU is running S@H; 1 CUDA running on 1 GPU. So Why not 2 CPUs with 2 AP units? Hi Ageless ;) Forgive me I'm tired and after reading threads, I only see big technical words (my new job is over-clocking my brain). I haven't had time to tweak anything yet with Ramster's files, I only have BOINC installed. I noticed a new version of BOINC Client is out so I have updated to 6.6.31. But before I go the next step (Ramster), I also noticed earlier today that I'm only running 1 Astropulse on my CPU and the other CPU is running SETI@home; 3rd is of course the GPU. This must have started afer I upgraded from version 6.4.7 and deleted my configs (Old message at bottom of this message). I know this is an easy one where I probably place a config file somewhere in my prefs. I have installed the Nvidia 185.35 drivers and "cudadriver_2.2_winxp_32_185.85_general.exe" Applications are set to: SETI@home Enhanced: yes Astropulse: yes Astropulse v5: yes My current messages: 6/4/2009 9:19:02 PM Starting BOINC client version 6.6.31 for windows_intelx86 6/4/2009 9:19:02 PM log flags: task, file_xfer, sched_ops 6/4/2009 9:19:02 PM Libraries: libcurl/7.19.4 OpenSSL/0.9.8j zlib/1.2.3 6/4/2009 9:19:02 PM Data directory: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\BOINC 6/4/2009 9:19:02 PM Running under account User 6/4/2009 9:19:02 PM Processor: 2 GenuineIntel Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.20GHz [x86 Family 15 Model 4 Stepping 1] 6/4/2009 9:19:02 PM Processor features: fpu tsc sse sse2 mmx 6/4/2009 9:19:02 PM OS: Microsoft Windows XP: Professional x86 Edition, Service Pack 3, (05.01.2600.00) 6/4/2009 9:19:02 PM Memory: 1.50 GB physical, 2.85 GB virtual 6/4/2009 9:19:02 PM Disk: 179.31 GB total, 111.34 GB free 6/4/2009 9:19:02 PM Local time is UTC -7 hours 6/4/2009 9:19:03 PM CUDA device: GeForce GTX 260 (driver version 18585, compute capability 1.3, 896MB, est. 111GFLOPS) 6/4/2009 9:19:03 PM Not using a proxy 6/4/2009 9:19:04 PM SETI@home URL: http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/; Computer ID: 2378854; location: home; project prefs: default 6/4/2009 9:19:04 PM SETI@home General prefs: from SETI@home (last modified 04-Mar-2009 23:03:00) 6/4/2009 9:19:04 PM SETI@home Computer location: home 6/4/2009 9:19:04 PM SETI@home General prefs: no separate prefs for home; using your defaults 6/4/2009 9:19:04 PM Preferences limit memory usage when active to 767.36MB 6/4/2009 9:19:04 PM Preferences limit memory usage when idle to 1381.25MB 6/4/2009 9:19:04 PM Preferences limit disk usage to 89.65GB 6/4/2009 9:19:04 PM SETI@home Restarting task ap_21mr09aa_B0_P1_00219_20090501_06557.wu_2 using astropulse_v5 version 503 6/4/2009 9:19:05 PM SETI@home Restarting task 19mr09aa.676.73399.8.8.248_0 using setiathome_enhanced version 603 6/4/2009 9:19:05 PM SETI@home Restarting task 19mr09aa.14564.83624.7.8.97_0 using setiathome_enhanced version 608 My previous version messages: 5/16/2009 11:59:29 AM\|\|Starting BOINC client version 6.4.7 for windows_intelx86 5/16/2009 11:59:29 AM\|\|log flags: task, file_xfer, sched_ops 5/16/2009 11:59:29 AM\|\|Libraries: libcurl/7.19.4 OpenSSL/0.9.8j zlib/1.2.3 5/16/2009 11:59:29 AM\|\|Data directory: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\BOINC 5/16/2009 11:59:29 AM\|\|Running under account User 5/16/2009 11:59:29 AM\|\|Processor: 2 GenuineIntel Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.20GHz [x86 Family 15 Model 4 Stepping 1] 5/16/2009 11:59:29 AM\|\|Processor features: fpu tsc sse sse2 mmx 5/16/2009 11:59:29 AM\|\|OS: Microsoft Windows XP: Professional x86 Editon, Service Pack 3, (05.01.2600.00) 5/16/2009 11:59:29 AM\|\|Memory: 1.50 GB physical, 2.85 GB virtual 5/16/2009 11:59:29 AM\|\|Disk: 179.31 GB total, 104.15 GB free 5/16/2009 11:59:29 AM\|\|Local time is UTC -7 hours 5/16/2009 11:59:29 AM\|\|Not using a proxy 5/16/2009 11:59:29 AM\|\|CUDA devices found 5/16/2009 11:59:29 AM\|SETI@home\|URL: http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/; Computer ID: 2378854; location: home; project prefs: default 5/16/2009 11:59:29 AM\|\|General prefs: from SETI@home (last modified 04-Mar-2009 23:03:00) 5/16/2009 11:59:29 AM\|\|Computer location: home 5/16/2009 11:59:29 AM\|\|General prefs: no separate prefs for home; using your defaults 5/16/2009 11:59:29 AM\|\|Preferences limit memory usage when active to 767.36MB 5/16/2009 11:59:29 AM\|\|Preferences limit memory usage when idle to 1381.25MB 5/16/2009 11:59:29 AM\|\|Preferences limit disk usage to 89.65GB 5/16/2009 11:59:29 AM\|\|Preferences limit # CPUs to 3 5/16/2009 11:59:29 AM\|SETI@home\|Restarting task ap_22fe09af_B1_P0_00035_20090513_19035.wu_0 using astropulse_v5 version 503 5/16/2009 11:59:29 AM\|SETI@home\|Restarting task ap_22fe09af_B1_P1_00250_20090513_21196.wu_2 using astropulse_v5 version 503 5/16/2009 11:59:40 AM\|SETI@home\|Fetching scheduler list 5/16/2009 11:59:45 AM\|SETI@home\|Master file download succeeded 5/16/2009 11:59:50 AM\|SETI@home\|Sending scheduler request: Requested by user.

38) Questions and Answers : GPU applications : What and Where is the Cuda 2.2 mod ?? (Message 895588) Posted 16 May 2009 by BigDaddyDave Post: 185.85 WHQL driver is the latest last I looked, that is If one's using windows XP and You are, I run 185.85 under XP x64 and yes I use the 2.2 dll files, Raistmers V11 Cross Watch Seti app and I don't use the Team mod(obsolete) as I use Boinc 6.6.20 instead of something older or newer(so far, But that might change to something newer, maybe). You need to upgrade to 6.6.20, Unless You want to run the obsolete Team Mod and the equally obsolete 6.4.7 as 6.6.20 was the recommended version and I run It with no problems here. Hey Super Joker, Sounds good! I'll upgrade to Boinc 6.6.20 and then add on the 2.2 Dll files from Raistmers V11 Cross Watch Seti app.
39) Questions and Answers : GPU applications : What and Where is the Cuda 2.2 mod ?? (Message 895542) Posted 16 May 2009 by BigDaddyDave Post: If you're already running with an app_info.xml file, then it's an easy and worthwhile upgrade. You need to upgrade to the Nvidia 185.25 drivers first, and then just replace the runtime and FFT files (cudart.dll and cufft.dll) with the ones from Raistmer's post - follow Claggy's link. Because the files have the same names as the ones you're already using, no other change is needed - you do not have to edit app_info.xml "Error Will Marshall! ERROR! All my CUDAs have gone to "Compute error," so I have placed back my original "cudart.dll" and "cufft.dll" files. I have installed the latest Nvidia 185.35 drivers and I then replaced only the "cudart.dll" and "cufft.dll" files from Raistmer's post via Claggy's link. My BOINC directory is "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\BOINC\projects\setiathome.berkeley.edu" directory. I only saw 2 Dll files in the Zip. Perhaps I overlooked something. Regarding the "runtime" post part, not sure what that is. I installed my Raistmer's files back on March 15th or so, perhaps a newer version is out. Help!
