Hi,

i managed to compile the BRP4G and BRP5 cuda application (same app) on my linux with cuda 6.0.

1) Now I need help setting up a working app_info.xml.

I'd like to run CPU APPS:
- einstein_S5R6_1.01_graphics_i686-pc-linux-gnu
- hsgamma_FGRP4_1.04_x86_64-pc-linux-gnu__FGRP4-SSE2
- einstein_S5R6_1.01_graphics_i686-pc-linux-gnu
and MY GPU APP
- einsteinbinary_x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-cuda
.

2) I also need help about what to do with db.dev and dbhs.dev files? rename?

3) Should I put the NVIDIA v6.0 cudart and cufft files to einstein project directory too? Is it ok if they are in LIBPATH/PATH?

4) Before I try anything with production database I'd like to test my compilation against the standard app to validate results. How to do that off-line (not beta)? Is there a scrip for developers/optimizers?

Could you please guide how to compile BRP with cuda 6.0?
I was trying to compile the application too but stuck on some steps.
What exact linux did you use? What applications have to be installed before script can be run? What need to be fixed in provided script, etc.
Step by step guide would be ideal.

I use linux mint Petra and gcc (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.8.1-10ubuntu9) 4.8.1
.

I got the source code from here: Latest release

I had to apt-get a ton of packages.
"./build.sh --linux-cuda profile" followed by "cat build.log" told me what to do next (missing this and that).

Edit: libcurl and libjpg were missing or wrong version on my machine. libcurl needed some other packages and so on.

I'm sorry I did not keep a log of all the required steps. But mainly the task was to get all the required stuff.

The ./build.sh needed

...

I do not have a test directory under einstein. Nor do I have src/data.

Thank you. I tried on ubuntu, fedora, suse and some more Linuxes. Doing so I had to change compilation script, for example to set ZLIB version to 1.2.9, then I got compilation error for one source file.
Now I have a hint.

Why just not to replace existing application and give it a try?
Worse scenario would be a validation error.

I think there is a protection mechanism to prevent maliscious software impersonating the original. A checksum or something. My guess is that you can not even edit the cuda files in the project directory.

The last routine does not need shared memory caching, but try to remove that just by editing. The file gets replaced and the tasks that were 99% complete are lost into the darkest bit heaven.

When you're assigned a task from a new search the scheduler tells Boinc where to get the executables needed and what file signature they should have, Boinc then downloads the files and calculate the signature, if it's a match all is well but if not you get a error on the task with something like "Could not get input file".
If you know what type of file signature Boinc uses and edit the client_state.xml you should be able to trick Boinc into using your own app. The anonymous platform mechanism would be better as that's why it's there.

and another change in src/Makefile.linux.cuda

I compiled a CUDA 6.0 version and I have run it succesfully. It takes about 72 minutes to process one BRP5.

Now I'm trying to get it working with BOINC ... Boinc starts ok, finds config files but does not request any work.

EventLog shows this:
