1) Message boards : Graphics cards (GPUs) : WU not starting (Message 15234)
Posted 5177 days ago by Profile mike047
I am having a similar "no start" issue. GTX260 with 196.34 drivers and 6.10.18 boinc client.

Any help??

Edit; the issue was with the boinc preferences....I am good to go.

I have looked[probably not hard enough] but what would the queue count be for a dual core and 3 GPUs??

Will I be able to get adequate work for ALL GPUs??

Can you summarize for me one of your systems where you have problems:
OS/driver/BOINC version/cuda toolkit installed

gdf


I have never installed the toolkit on any setup.....Is this a requirement of Nvidia for proper CUDA operation???

I have been without the toolkit for 5 months so far, and until recently without issues.

which card/machine combinations are not possible to use the 185.85 version may i ask mike047 ?


I don't have that information at hand presently. Basically I use Ubuntu 8.04lts. The 260 and 250 cards have no trouble using 180.22 and might be able to use a higher driver without issue. Some of my 8800/9600gso/9800 cards will not accept any driver above 177.82. All mother boards are Gigabyte P35/45.

I don't know what the issues are with this project and I am willing "to do" a little work to be able to run this project. BUT, I am unwilling to babysit and periodically change drivers to suit a project that is becoming unwilling to respond to my queries and the queries of others.

Unfortunately I have invested in many Nvidia cards that at the present cannot be used else where in Boinc. FAH is the only other place that can use my cards. I have one box working there now and it has run absolutely trouble free with NO intervention on my part. The + to FAH is that my internet is not shut down when it has to upload, the 50+m uploads from here shut my internet down...I know that is not a project fault but it is an issue for me.

This is a good project with good science but it has gotten away from communicating with the participants in a timely manners. IMHO the project has slipped badly from where it was several months ago.

CUDA 2.2 libs will be distributed with the application, but you will need to upgrade the driver to the latest 185 version.

gdf



Are you saying that without 185 version drivers we will not be able to successfully do GPU Grid work.

I have card/box combinations that will not accept that version and run properly.

If 185 version driver and above is "required" to crunch here, I will be taking my farm to FAH.



Is this query unworthy of an answer?

Have the "EVIL" work units been disabled or deleted?

I have stopped work on 8[250's and below] of my cards. The two 260s are doing OK.

I am on 6.4.5 and use either 177.82 or 180.22 on Ubuntu 64.

I have had many failures on all cards Except my 260's[192/216]

Nothing will likely be done until sometime Monday, I am also at No New Work until problem is resolved.

I am right to say that all the problems are related to older cards, like 8800,9800 and so on?
Did anyone experience repeated failures on those workunits with a 260,275,295 or 285?

gdf

I have 7 9800GT's and one 8800GT. All have experienced failures. I'm on 6.6.20 and 185.85. I'm shutting them down until this problem is fixed. Good Luck!


I'll give it one more day, maybe two and I will do likewise.

I am very surprised at the admin/developers this time. Usually there is a little more input/concern shown.

Have I missed a thread from the project that explains what is happening and their concern??
