	This is for testing the new application on older cuda. We will keep only cuda4.0 and cuda4.2 applications. The second one is required only if you have a kepler card and it needs newest drivers. So, most people will be actually using cuda4.0 which is being tested now in beta. If you have a cuda4.2 driver, the server should give you that. If you have a older driver but more recent than 270.41, then you should receive cuda4.0. Another change is that as most of valuable work in the long queue, we will be testing the new application on the acemd2 queue as soon as the beta ends. Only later extend it to acemdlong. Is it a problem to have only cuda4.2 for Linux? gdf gdf

	Hi, The latest drivers NVIDIA for Linux (Ubuntu) already support CUDA 4.2. Greetings.

	This windows beta is giving major screen lag in XP 64. Driver 301.42, 7.0.25, GTX580. Have suspended while I still can. One completed OK & one failed after 20secs. Update: Tried Boinc 7.0.28 but still the same lag, making computer unusable. Tasks finished OK though.

The cuda 4.0 units are about 50+ seconds slower than the cuba 4.2 units on my computers, so why bother with cuba 4.0 all together, and have everyone update their drivers?

	Assuming the cuda40 and 42 beta work units are the same size the cuda42 seems to be the fastest on cpu and run-time on my GTX570. Link to one host here I would suggest cuda42 be the default for Fermi and Kepler based cards (and appropiate driver version), otherwise cuda40 as the fallback. Also machine response is very bad when running these, presumable because of their priority as other have mentioned. ____________ BOINC blog

	A fix coming up tomorrow. Now you should be getting always the same application. Either 4.2 or 4.0 depending on the driver. Not a mixture of the two... gdf

	The cuda 4.0 units are about 50+ seconds slower than the cuba 4.2 units on my computers, so why bother with cuba 4.0 all together, and have everyone update their drivers? The project is trying to be nice to crunchers. For some updating the driver is a nightmare or not [easily] possible due to various reasons.

	From discussions with the Seti optimisers (well one of them anyway), he said that the older GTX2xx cards are worse off running cuda42 apps. It would seem cuda42 is particularly optimised for Fermi and Kepler chips. The old cards can still run them, they are slower than a cuda32 app on the same card. I don't think they ever tried a cuda40 app, but they did try cuda41 which also was worse than cuda32 on older cards. You might need to consider a cuda32 app for the older cards, even if the user has up to date drivers. That is a cuda32 instead of a cuda40 app. You could use the compute capability to determine if they should get cuda32 app rather than driver version. Something like (if compute capability = 1.3 then use cuda32) ____________ BOINC blog

	The first task (cuda40) took 2 minutes & all was fine. The other tasks (cuda42) are causing the screen to become unresponsive. Tasks finishing without error. XP64,GTX580, 7.0.28, 301.42. Getting more cuda40 now. Guess these are all configured differently? This one took 16m30s

	Is yours a factory overclocked card? With these newer drivers, there are quite a few people on NVIDIA's forums with factory OC, which are getting these types of issues. Will have to see if this keeps popping up I guess with everyone else. Cheers

	I flashed the bios myself a year ago & never had any issues with it. I think the driver just crashed rather than down clocked. That slow cuda40 task was straight after a cuda42 one which was causing lag.

	GDF: Still getting a mix of the 4.0 and 4.2 on my 680. 301.42 And yes, I'm getting some pretty big lag too. With CPU tasks, utilization on W7 is about 91%. Without, 87%

	cuda40 tasks seem to be all ok with no lag. However, should they be using 100% cpu thread with no swan_sync?

	Is it a problem to have only cuda4.2 for Linux? The Ubuntu 12.04 repository version of the NVidia driver is 295.40. This is CUDA 4.2 capable. The more recent 295.53 Certified version can also be downloaded from NVidia. It might be worth noting however that for people with non-fermi/kepler cards (probably not very many) a CUDA 4.2 app would perform less efficiently, and for those with older drivers and Fermi or Kepler cards they would not be able to contribute without updating drivers. Is a project reset now required for the new/chosen app to propagate, rather than a standard project update? On swan_sync. Changes to this require a restart to take effect (just in case you didn't). Sounds like 'real-time' priority though. BTW, is there anyone crunching for GPUGrid that still uses Win98? http://www.gpugrid.net/apps.php Platform - Version - Installation time Microsoft Windows (98 or later) - running on an Intel x86-compatible CPU - 31 May 2012 \| 17:48:34 UTC ____________ FAQ's HOW TO: - Opt out of Beta Tests - Ask for Help

	I'm getting failures too. I think these may be around the checkpoint time? Failures all occur at ~20% for me. I changed a lot of settings including frequency (downclocked substantially). I suggest if anyone has run several betas that have failed that they stop running Beta's for now!

	Is it just the Windows cuda40 application that's failing, or the cuda42 one as well? MJH I am not getting cuda42. I only seem to be getting cuda40 work. Suspending work fetch again as no point failing all of them. The last cuda42 I got was a v6.43 (a couple of days ago) and that worked fine. [edit] I will add that deselecting Beta tasks in preferences, getting client to update when set to NNT and then asking for work still gives beta work. Looks like I won't be crunching GPUgrid for a few days until the beta queue gets drained [/edit] ____________ BOINC blog
