#1 GPUgrid App update 17 April 2017

Post by Newshound »


Dear All,

If you've been following other threads on the forums, you'll know that the Windows versions of the science application have recently been updated. There are now two versions, 849 (CUDA 6.5) and 918 (CUDA 8.0), which will be assigned to hosts as follows:

* 849
- Windows XP (32 or 64 bit) and any GPU >= sm 3.0
- Any 64bit Windows with a Kepler 3.0 device

* 918
- Any 64bit Windows, Vista or later with any GPU > sm 3.0 and driver >= 370.0

The peculiar exception for sm 3.0 devices is due to a compiler problem with CUDA 80 that affects only that hardware version. When that's fixed, hosts with a non-XP Windows will get 918.

If you see any behaviour that deviates from this, please report it here.

If you think you should be getting work, but aren't please check that your system complies with the above, in particular the driver revision and that the OS is 64 bit.
