I've tried to use new 1.22 BRP4 application running 6 tasks simultaneously. Almost all of them finished almost instantly with CUDA error 1008. Probably because I am using pretty old NVidia driver - 266.66. Used to work before updating to the 1.22 version - stable and fast.
Was new application assembled with new NVidia library ?

New application BRP4 1.22

6 tasks is pretty tight with 2048MB. I would expect that the amount of GPU RAM used by your system changed a little bit. I also can't exclude that the new app version uses a little bit more memory per task. I'd try running one or two tasks less per GPU, at least for testing.

This error is not memory

This error is not memory related but a known bug in the NVIDIA drivers older than the 270 series - at least on Linux. Please update your driver.

Thanks,

Sorry, my mistake. Nothing is

Sorry, my mistake. Nothing is wrong with application or NVidia driver. Just didn't make correct references to the all files in app_inf.xml - such as dbhs.dev.win.a16a0db5 etc.

BTW, 6 tasks are still occupying not more then 1700M of video memory.
So back to the happy crunching.
