I'm using the GPU since the beginning with the Seti project.
It works fine with the 6.6.36 Boinc version.
I joined Einstein several weeks ago, running both Seti and Einstein on my first Computer. It works fine.
I let the computer handle the priority between Seti and Einstein WU and the GPU is only crunching Seti WU. The CPU is crunching one Einstein WU and one Seti WU.
6 november : I changed my Einstein preferences. Nothing changes. I checked "No requesting new task".
12 november, I finished my WU and unchecked "no requesting new task". I saw that Einstein downloaded two big files (around 20 Mb), intel x86 something and graphics something. In the evening - I switch off the computer for two hours -, I saw that the screening started to slow down terribly. I tryed to change my Einstein preferences - unsuccessfull : the Boinc messages show that the changes seems to be ignored -, then I upgrade Boinc, I upgrade my GPU driver... nothing change.
I'm waiting to finish my actual WU then I'll quit Einstein project to subscribe again. I hope the new files downloaded will change the effect.

Hello,
I download (automaticaly) the new cuda zip archive today from Einstein.
Using the GPU slew down my computer graphics !
There is no automatically distributed CUDA app (yet), only a beta app you have to install manually. None of Einstein@Home tasks done on your PC lately uses the GPU. Are you really sure the lack of responsiveness on your PC is caused by E@H?
Does the situation improve if you temporarily halt (suspend) all running E@H jobs, and does it go back to "slow" if you resume them?
Can someone help a newbie/dilettante?
I am trying to get CUDA to work, have copied relevant files into the correct dir, get:
Quote:
Einstein@Home Found app_info.xml; using anonymous platform
in messages, but how can you tell if CUDA working? I have seen some posts from awhile back saying no CUDA tasks available, how can I tell if that is the case? The current task I have running is:

Starting task p2030_54470_62577_0052_G59.68+00.39.S_4.dm_122_1 using einsteinbinary_ABP1 version 311
there is no mention in the BOINC tasks pane like-[... .14 CPUs + 1.00 NVIDIA GPUs] for the E@h task as I see in SETI.
I see in messages:

Einstein@Home Requesting new tasks for CPU
no request for GPU tasks, is that something I should be seeing?
I made the:

einstein_S5R5
einstein_S5R6
edit in the xml file just in case that was needed but don't exactly understand all the implications of this.
I have a 9800gtx, using BOINC 6.10.18, windows7, and again, CUDA working great in SETI.

I appreciate the response, but, I have gone through that page you referenced repeatedly, had to to go with CUDA to begin with. I don't see any of the info that has left me stumped and feeling like a moron. The only thing that I can assume from your response is that any task AMBP1 1.10 and above are strictly CUDA, but that seems a stretch. There is the "(cuda)" tacked at the end of tasks in SETI that isn't there for E@h. I have read through most of this thread, much of it too shorthand for my level.
For what it's worth, I have 2 AMBP1 3.11 tasks running along with nary a hiccup so far.
thanks

in post from different thread, my messages as I said previously say only "CPU".
Also, in looking at BOINC Projects tab Properties for E@h, shows 'NVIDIA GPU work fetch priority' as 0.00 which seems to be an NA as there are large negative numbers for the CPU priority, and also for the GPU priority in SETI.

That's a good advice.
Lionel --> You told you modified your einstein preferences. Do you remember what you've modified exactly ?

I dont know what to enter into the file, could someone advise what to do please.
