Title: GPU Numbering in BT- 0.75
Post by: Tim Norton on September 28, 2010, 05:45:59 PM
Fred

i have disabled one of my GPU (via cc_config file) as running vlars on GPU (as have no other work) and it makes the pc very choppy if i run one on the GPU that i have a monitor attached to.

this made me notice something

in BT you number the GPU's d0, d1 etc

now i disabled GPU no 2 or NVIDIA GPU 1 as its called below

e.g.
28/09/2010 18:35:07      NVIDIA GPU 0: GeForce GTX 295 (driver version 25896, CUDA version 3010, compute capability 1.3, 878MB, 647 GFLOPS peak)
28/09/2010 18:35:07      NVIDIA GPU 1 (ignored by config): GeForce GTX 295 (driver version 25896, CUDA version 3010, compute capability 1.3, 877MB, 647 GFLOPS peak)
28/09/2010 18:35:07      NVIDIA GPU 2: GeForce GTX 295 (driver version 25896, CUDA version 3010, compute capability 1.3, 878MB, 647 GFLOPS peak)
28/09/2010 18:35:07      NVIDIA GPU 3: GeForce GTX 295 (driver version 25896, CUDA version 3010, compute capability 1.3, 878MB, 647 GFLOPS peak)

but in BT i have d0, d1??, d2 but not d3 as i was expecting to see d0, d2, d3

one final thing why d and not g? unless d means device? :)

sorry Fred it appears that Boinc Manager renumbers them!!!

if you use properties of task in BM it show d0, d1 or d2 not d0, d2 and d3 (d for device)

oh well not much we can do about that ::)

Yes it does, by why not reschedule them to the CPU. http://www.efmer.eu/forum_tt/index.php?topic=428.0 (http://www.efmer.eu/forum_tt/index.php?topic=428.0)
