By looking at Boinc manager, how do I know that a task is running with CUDA?

---

In the Tasks tab under BOINC Manager, under the Application field it will say CUDA.

On my machine - no tasks ever mention CUDA - yet, sometimes, they get done - they never show under tasks

How do you know for sure? Are you keeping an eye on BOINC Manager 24 hours a day?

Anyway, it'll tell in the Tasks tab in Advanced View that it's using 0.03 CPU + CUDA

just upgraded to boinc 6.4.5 widget 2.8.7 and am running an AMD 3200 and NVIDIA 8500gt on XP Pro SP3 system. When I upgraded new benchmarks ran and CUDA was discovered but task panel doesn't show any other tasks running other than my 1 project for my 1 cpu. I re benchmarked and only found 1 cpu no CUDA? Ideas?

The GPU isn't benchmarked. So when you run benchmarks in BOINC, it'll only benchmark the CPU.

do i have a cuda device? (Meldungen = messages)


is Cuda running? (Aufgaben = tasks)

I have a laptop with the cuda devices and it is no longer using the GPU. what could be causing this?

I have uninstalled/reinstalled bionic and reinstalled latest nvidia drivers. the prefrences on the web have it set to use gpu when available. is this something to do with seti or is it a laptop issue?

Today my BOINC downloaded stock old non-CUDA application v6.03 and all new WUs indicates 6.03 too.
Maybe CUDA applucation has been set back to beta state and all newly generated WUs locked to non-CUDA application 6.03 - then BOINC will download no more CUDA WUs...

what are you seeing in your bm-log?

this:
|SETI@home|Sending scheduler request: To fetch work. Requesting 300369 seconds of work, reporting 0 completed tasks

or this:
|SETI@home|Sending scheduler request: Requested by user. Requesting 0 seconds of work, reporting 0 completed tasks

i am getting this

SETI@home|Sending scheduler request: Requested by user. Requesting 0 seconds of work, reporting 0 completed tasks

i have 2 WU rinning ATM and 2 waiting.

they are all SETI@home Enhanced 6.03.

i have 3 pcs doing this and they are all using 6.03

1 has a cuda vga card and the others are xeon cpus

• a) If BM request 0 secends of work you will not get any work.
  
• b) If BM requests 0 seconds of work
  
  
  • 1 then the BM noticed in your tasklist is enough work how you have set (in settings for cache in account prefs)
    
  • 2 you have set the project to NNT (no new tasks)
    
  • 3 you have suspended tasks in your task list

  
  

• c) If version 6.03 is shown you wont get your gpu to work, the newest cuda-application has version 6.07
  Maybe you could try a manual install with a modded version from lunatics

Ok, i found someting on beta bord.
It seems that there is a serverside config 'who get cuda-tasks, who not'
read here

short version: if your cuda-enabled graphic card is to weak you wont get the MB-Cuda-App
thats surely one of the ways to fix the VLAR problem

thanks for the info. i was using the cuda prcessing. for some reason it gust stopped and started on the enhanced 6.03 stuff. the laptop is a macbook pro running windows with the latest nvidia drivers. the gpu is a geforce 9600m GT. it is found when bionic starts. i have tried the latest version of bionic as well as the beta

I was not downloading any WU's, then I disabled "Use Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) if available" settings in SETI@home preferences, and now it has downloaded the 6.07 cuda WU's....what gives?

I only disabled it because Seti Cuda was causing my other GPU projects to crash... GPUGRID ran fine, when I suspended seti...but when I resumed...seti would crash, followed by GPUGrid.

Why can't seti get CUDA to work like GPUGrid seem able to do...?

Why can't seti get CUDA to work like GPUGrid seem able to do...?

You think that GPUGrid went from nothing to working applications overnight on the 17th of December 2008? Or perhaps because they've been at it already since July 17, 2008?
