Two of my four GPUs have run out of work,and the others have about 6 hrs each. I realize that hardware fails,code takes time to write,staff and funding are always short,etc.

Still,the anxiety(sometimes nuerotic,but real just the same)of users could be much relieved by a quick note like: "Ran out of work,should be back up Friday",or: "Major problems,check back in July."

I can wait a few days,or weeks if need be,but informed decision-making is vital,at least to me.

Which part of 'Not shipping Windows BRP4 CUDA tasks to recent drivers' didn't you understand?

Quote:

The most recent drivers from NVidia are causing problems with our CUDA application. So for the time being we don't ship any such tasks to machines with drivers version newer than 290.53.
