    Thanks for the information.  Smile  I actually started my system with CUDA Version 7.xx.xx  Driver on El Capitan 10.11.3.  Was told by TBar at SETI to keep it Updated.  (Especially with his newly developed CUDA75 App for MACs at SETI due to OpenCL issues on MAC.)

    I was wondering why my MAC was only getting the BRP6 CUDA55 Units here...  Oh well...  Any idea when Einstein will "catch up" to my Driver Version???  I can't step it back down past the 7.xx.xx Driver's anyway...

      For now I issued the BRP4G Cuda 5.5 app versions as "Beta", as these were on BRP6, so you can decide yourself whether to run these or not.

          Great, thanks! Will check it on a few systems are report back.
          Why don't I see this app for Windows on the Applications page?

            Bad news - on Windows x64 systems all these tasks error right at the beginning.

            I think the problem is in the x86_64 version of the app only. 32-bit one should be OK. Can you please issue the x86 version to x86_64 machines too ? This would be similar to what was done on BRP6.

              I deprecated the windows_x86_64 cuda55 version. All Windows clients should get the 32Bir version.

                So far so good, Scotty! Seems to work well on x64 systems too.

                First performance results (BRP4G cuda32 -> cuda55):
                750 Ti (XP32, Core i7 860): 2600 s -> 2000 s
                750 Ti (W7 x64, Xeon E3-1275 v5): 2400 s -> 1900 s
                Tesla K20c (W10, Xeon E5-2650 v3): 1300 s -> 1000 s

                That's a ~30% improvement!

                  I'm running 2 at a time as I found that was the best for my machines.

                  I'm only seeing about a 12% improvement on my 980Tis of the cuda 55 over the cuda 32 (22 mins vs 25 minutes)

                  Interestingly if you pair a Arecibo cuda 55 with a Parkes cuda 55 work unit, the Arecibo work unit finishes 25% faster than 2 Arecibo cuda 32 (18 minutes vs 25 mins)

                  edit...

                  These are all version 1.57   I have several v1.56 on another machine that I will test right now

                    So version 1.56 is throwing out these messages on my computer.

                    I'm also not seeing any CPU usage on BOINCtasks.  Hope this helps

                      v1.56 has been deprecated, v1.57 (x86) is sent now and that seems to work on both x86 and x64 systems.
