      My amateurish suggestion is there could be something wrong with the CUDA recognition, even if the Nvidia card was reported at the log lines.

      and later again

      Has that same host been able to download Nvidia GPU work at some point earlier? Have you recently updated kernel, Nvidia driver or something else?

      For all the Beta-apps there was

      Maybe You could try if enabling Beta work at Project Preferences allowed that host to get GPU tasks.

        Thanks for the reply.

        I enabled the beta work in preferences. Still get the same result.

        I just recently set up this fedora account so it has never downloaded Nvidia work.

        This is a dual boot computer. It downloads Nvidia ok when I boot into Windows 10.

        I see what your saying about CUDA recognition but do not know what to do about it.

          That host has kernel 4.8.7-200.fc24.x86_64 and Nvidia driver version 375.20. Both are very new, perhaps too much.

            I tried an older kernel and an older driver before using this one. Same result no Nvidia work.

              Looking at the log output you don't have CUDA. You have an OpenCL GPU only. The fact that Nvidia refer to it as "device version OpenCL 1.2 CUDA" is a bit misleading. I would have thought you should be able to get OpenCL work for it but maybe your preferences don't allow it.

                Thank you

                I wil see if Fedora has a cuda package I can Install.

                 

                After installing a different driver and a cuda package both from Fedora I was still not able to get any gpu work. Originally I was using a driver I downloaded fromNvidias website.

                  I found out that SELinux was blocking the gpu work. After disabling SELinux I was able to do gpu work now with no problem.

                    Sorry to be late on the  thread i'm not a Federa user, you might also have some success with adding boinc user to the video (or gpu) group but if you look at the manual  - https://boinc.berkeley.edu/wiki/Installing_BOINC_on_Fedora - you'll see the SElinux disabling being needed so you have the right solution.
