From GPUgrid: The sleeping

    From GPUgrid:

    The sleeping bug is still there with driver 301.24 for xp-pro with gtx480.

    (me) I am staying tuned to others, and plan on posting this information to NVIDIA forums. I have sent the person from above a PM in the hopes that I can find out his OS.

    EDIT: Moderators and Admins, don't know if this is possible, but I would still like to continue crunching with my 680, and in light of new evidence in regards to gtx 480 on WXP-pro failing, I hope you do not take off the 301 app. If possible could you at least allow 301.10 to still work, that way my 680 can stay attached. I have monitor sleep disabled anyways after I finished testing.

    EDIT AGAIN: It appears the person from above jumped to conclusions, I looked at his stderr and it had a energies have become nan, which is not a monitor bug. Sorry for any confustion.

    Thanks

      I sent you a PM Jacob, but figured I would post here anyways. If I could get your OS info it would be appreciated. Thanks

        My preliminary testing (Windows 7 x64, BOINC 7.0.25, 2 GeForce 9800 GTs, ForceWare drivers 301.24)... is looking good. I'm able to start and resume tasks successfully even though "Turn off the display" is used, with Windows turning off the display before the tasks start/resume.

        I will reply again once I verify that tasks can complete without error. (I'm going to let it run overnight).

        My testing of the 301.24 drivers is successful. The overnight run resulted in several completed Cuda (Binary Radio Pulsar Search (Arecibo) v1.22 (BRP4cuda32nv301)) tasks... and one has already been successfully through the validator.

        My results are at:
        http://einsteinathome.org/account/tasks

        I'm probably going to detach from the project indefinitely, because I'd like to use my 9800 GT cards on Folding@Home, but if you ever need me to test something, feel free to PM or email me.

        Thanks,

            Hi all,

            please excuse the following stupid question. Does this all apply to Linux too?
            The point is, Nvidia released 295.40 to fix a serious security issue.

            I would like to install that version. So, will I get E@H work?

            Thanks,
            Michael

              Not to my knowledge. The Linux CUDA plan classes weren't limited in the same way. The title of the Technical News thread ("Not shipping Windows BRP4 CUDA tasks to recent drivers") should clearly state that.

              You should.

                I have rolled back my nvidia driver to 285.x which runs tasks successfully, is there anything special I need to do now to get E@H to start sending me cuda tasks? Thanks.

                    I just needed a reboot and it is working now. Thanks for the tip.

                      Glad to hear that this one got fixed! I'll forward the positive test results to NVIDIA and hope for a final/stable driver release.
