decide on what stats and I can knock up a few pages and a database to store them in as a starter - happy to run a cuda times database on the site.
open to any other php bods to take part as well in knocking together a stats page.

Hmm ok problems thus far
1.) no work being done
2.) cant get it to use on board gfx as main card
[QUOTE=Judge;434937]Well I ordered a 8400 GS to test with , then I will order something a bit better.
any idea if you can use a graphics card just for cuda then another for the display ?[/QUOTE]
I found the 8400gs worked,but was very sluggish. Units took approx 2.0hours on an Athlon64 x2 2.9ghz system. Give it a go , but I wasn’t impressed.
ok is it using the gfx card or not ?

You can tell from the name “ap…”, CPU time, claimed credit, and application version that this was an Astropulse v5 WU. There is no AP CUDA app. So no, your graphics card was not used. CUDA MB WUs use <4 minutes of CPU time, credit is less than 100, app version is 6.08 .
It’s very easy to see if your grahics card is working during the calculation. In the tasks list you will see (cuda) appended to the name of the application, and Running (0.04 CPUs, 1 CUDA) in the Status column.

any idea why ?
Why there is no CUDA AP app? Because the developers have not had time to write one. Especially for the AP v5 app, which has only been publicly available for about a month.
NVIDIA also helped port the MB app. I gather their involvement with the project waned after that was done.
On seti, It shows you have the cuda device and that the driver is installed, but its only downloading AP. go on the seti page and go to SETI@home preferences, Then make sure you click the icon for GPU units, and untick evething else, that way you still will have ap to do but cuda’s will dowload. Another thing might be that you need to change the time on your bonic to like 10+ days.
Hope that might help.
I’m playing with the 6.6 client now which has speed estimates for the GPU as follows:
CUDA device: GeForce 8800 GTX (driver version 17824, CUDA version 1.0, 768MB, est. 62GFLOPS)
CUDA device: GeForce 8800 GTS (driver version 18122, CUDA version 1.0, 320MB, est. 41GFLOPS)
CUDA device: GeForce 8600 GT (driver version 18208, CUDA version 1.1, 256MB, est. 14GFLOPS)
Seems to run MB, AP and CUDA better too (without messing with cc_config, preferences etdc it downloads and runs tasks for all cores plus GPU), and preempts the CUDA task based on keyboard activity (time parameter set in preferences), this seems to work quite well. It is however still Beta so understand you could trash your whole BOINC install by trying it.
Ive just downloaded it. I like when you update seti and its got:
20/03/2009 07:26:12 SETI@home Not reporting or requesting tasks
Not much different…
Just a wee update on the 6.6 clients, they ignore any no new work settings when hungry, especially for CUDA enabled projects. Its a known issue. If you are in the habit of setting projects to NNW best to leave alone. Otherwise, a very good evolution of the client. The work scheduler is better, it tries to give you the work buffer you wanted (evaluating both GPU and CPU work needs). Beware, if you have a large buffer set this can be an awfully large amount of work.
