Hi, recently I replaced Quadro FX1800 with Quadro K2000 in my desktop. However SETI@Home stopped processing WU for GPU with the message that Cuda initialisation failed. I added GPUGRID project to BOINC as a troubleshooting measure and GPUGRID is able to process WU with GPU. Is there something that needs to be "re-initialized" in order for SETI project to "see" the new GPU? I'm running latest Quadro drivers obtained from nvidia.com Thanks! |

Mind posting your: - BOINC start up messages? The first 30 lines or so will do. - Operating system? - BOINC version? Did you uninstall the previous videocard? Did you uninstall the previous drivers? Which Quadro drivers did you install, specifically? I ask this as only the Quadro ODE Graphics Driver supports CUDA. |

After some chasing round the houses, I found a user called Marcin Dobija at SETI with a computer like that. Windows 7, 64-bit NVidia driver 334.95 BOINC version 7.2.42 (always nice to be given information in the opening post) The K2000 is based on a Kepler GK107 chip: the SETI applications (I see you've been allocated cuda23 and cuda32 versions) are compatible with the consumer 'GeForce' graphics cards based on that chip, so I don't see why they shouldn't work with the professional variants too. I'll see if I can get a message passed to the developer - but it might be better to continue the conversation on SETI's own message boards. |

Which Quadro drivers did you install, specifically? I ask this as only the Quadro ODE Graphics Driver supports CUDA. We'll have to wait and see on that. He's only returned CPU tasks from GPUGrid so far, no CUDA jobs have been reported. All tasks for host 175175. |
