I have a warning / Error message occurring that appears to indicate problems. However the GPU WU process and upload as I would expect.

All work units get the message.

Below are messages relating to just one WU extracted from the messages file.

[coproc_debug] Insufficient CUDA ????

Hi

I guess you configured your E@H project preferences to crunch 2 GPU tasks in parallel (0.5 GPU per task). However, you might not have enough free Video RAM on the 512 MB card in that host to run two in parallel, so I guess this is BOINC's way of telling you this in the extended logging output (this warning message is only visible when you set special flags in cc_config.xml.

So your 512MB card should execute one GPU task at a time, while your second host should do 2 in parallel. Right?

Cheers
HB

Correct

EDIT:

*** wrong - no cc_config to edit ***

set from web interface just put up with it ...
It works don't fix it ...
