    Hi,

    I have a multicore machine and a GPU. The GPU crunches other Projects, but all Einstein GPU WUs get suspended:

    0.2 CPUs + 1 NVIDIA GPU Pause: Not enough free CPU/GPU memory available! Delaying next attempt for at least 15 minutes

    This happens all the time, in the meantime other projects are running. What happens here?

    regards,
    Tommek

      Get a better GPU with more memory as the message says. for Einstein you need at least 300MB on the GPU

        You might also want to upgrade your Boinc version to 7.0.36 (which has a partial fix) or preferably 7.0.42 or 7.0.44, the Boinc version you're running has a Nvidia Wacky GPU Memory Bug where the GPU Total memory and/or available memory is reported wrong,

        ie, your GeForce 210 really doesn't have 134214143MB Total Memory

          He runs 7.0.27 which is most probably installed through repositories. Then he can't easily upgrade to a BOINC version made by Berkeley. He'll have to wait until a newer one is available through his package manager. Berkeley BOINC and Repository BOINC don't mix.

            Thanks for the answers. I'll wait for a newer version in my repositories.
