20/08/2009 11:58:41 Einstein@Home Message from server: To get more Einstein@Home work, finish current work, stop BOINC, remove app_info.xml file, and restart.

I get this message and boinc will only ask for work again in 4 hours, but I still got some gpu work which uses a full cpu core too!

Are the gpus running cpu units? what is the speedup of using 1core+1gpu compared to using only 1 core?

GPU units run on GPU and CPU. AFAIK GPU calculates FFT and GPU everything else. To run GPU task, you have to modify app_info.xml, as stated in last posts.

BTW: app_info.xml of last beta version allowed CPU work, did that change?

Oops, my bad. Sorry, Hotze, you should be able to receive CPU and GPU tasks with the beta app_info.xml, without modifications.

My 2 wu with 3.10 were almost exactly the same run time as with previous version.

I can now process GPU work!

I can now process GPU work! With the previous 3.09 version, I errored out immediately.

My GPU is NVIDIA GeForce GTX 260 (896MB) driver: 190.38

thats what i was going to ask if any one has tested or finished a wu with a gtx 260 b/c gpugrid has had troubles with this card...

i have one with 190.38 and will test this version to see if it runs... just got to dl all this stuff.

@RB, what manufacturer is the card?

Congratulations! Btw, my card is manufactured by EVGA. And it worked on GPU Grid.

First unit completed under

First unit completed under win 7 64-bit on a GeForce 9600GT.
Link to workunit

Did save some time compared to the beta 3.09 CPU-version.
~22000 sec down to ~19300 sec, times are from the web as I'm at work and the host is in my home.

Using CUDA device #0 "GeForce GTX 260" (806.98 GFLOPS)

WT* is that. no offense, but I'm very hesitate to believe those numbers...

what are the specs of that card?????

MHZ?

the damn card better be; Liquid cooled, running at 800 mhz....

please post the message logs of the boinc start-up...

ok, nvm; i'll admit i'm quick to jump to conclusions....

holmis's reports 300 gflops as well, is the app mis-reading the gflop number?????????????????????

Ok, now I´m getting also

Ok,
now I´m getting also work for the two remaining cpu cores.
@tjreuter: The 9800GX2 has two chips (2x8800GTS if I´m correct). It´s SLI on one card.
To get the card working at two workunits at a time, I had to disable SLI. Otherwise the second core killed the workunits.
First completed workunits (with 190.38 driver)
57287506
57287483

and first valid
57206708,
which was quite fast. ~14000s for 250 credits. Usually it takes 19000s for the 250 credits units (on a ).

I like that cuda stuff ;)
