Tomorrow I will upload also the Linux Fermi application.
At the moment the application for Fermi seems not to work on Windows.
We don't know why because we don't have a Fermi card to test it.

What would you do with SLI under Linux? Is there any driver support for it or games which would benefit?

Sorry, I was confused by the term "SLI under Linux". If it's "SLI under Win" and "2 GPUs under Linux" it does make perfect sense.

Under Windows the requirement to use both GPUs was to disable SLI. That changed, I think with the 190 drivers. I don't know about the status in Linux, though.

The current stance is that Fermi only has a chance to work on beta tasks. However, didn't the old 6.71, ACEMD 1 work as well? It's just much slower than Ver. 2 and thus I'm not sure it's worth it. Collatz is also said to work and maybe SETI.

ACEMD (Ver 1) did work, but it appears there are no more of these tasks. Not good timing that these finished about a week before Fermi cards turned up!
The ACEMD Ver 2 tasks were honed to older GPU designs and thus do not work with Fermi. When a Fermi application is created for Fermi cards they will work very well on GPUGrid. For now it seems Collatz is the best option for Fermi's. Just wait another week or so.

On the other hand.. if I remember correctly Fermi on ACEMD 1 is less efficient than GT200 on ACEMD 2. So it's not that much of a loss.

I thought 2 tasks ran ACEMD with debugging for 10min or so, user terminated after that? The thing is, they ran for 10min before being stopped, not 2sec before crashing. It makes sense that they would work on ACEMD but not ACEMD ver 2; ACEMD not being architecturally dependent and ACEMD Ver 2 being matched to the older architectures. My take on this being correct, then ACEMD is in no way Fermi refined so it would not have been able to contribute as much as a fully functional GTX295 crunching ACEMD Ver 2, perhaps about 1/3rd less, but at least that would have been something, about the same as a GTX285. Anyway, at this stage most people cant buy a Fermi (either source one or get one delivered)! So hopefully you will have a Fermi app by the time they start arriving in their dozens.
