Milkyway GPU
Milkyway GPU is a new project with a new URL.
http://milkyway.cs.rpi.edu/milkyway_gpu/
No work as yet, but it shouldn`t be long.
Registration is now open.
The regular Milkyway@Home will carry on as normal.

Hmm, looks like I was somewhat optimistic. :(UBT - Rick Horn wrote:

Do we need to join MW GPU project, and are the creds accredited to to the normal MW project ?
forget the MilkywayGPU project, it never got anywhere, there's just Milkyway these days.
what GPU do you have?
Does BoincManager detect your GPU in its startup messages?
In BoincManager, check your "Advanced/Preferences/Use GPU while computer is in use" setting, it needs to be ticked or you have to wait for the idle timeout to occur
hmmn, I've only run MW on ATI cards, my collection of NV cards performed better on Collatzfellie wrote:Nvidia 9800gtx+ John .. it's crunched a few GPUgrids with no issues.
As far as I know there's only 1 type of WU, CPU/ATI/NV, they're all the sameTried the settings, but MW doesn't seem to run on the gpu, maybe I have cpu only Wu's queued up ?
Check your MilkyWay@home preferences and make sure "Use NVIDIA GPU if present" is set to yes
edit
In BoincManager/Messages what does it say when it starts the WU, it would normally tell you which app it's using
And does task manager show anything helpfull?

MilkyWay will NOT run on NVidea GPUs. Something to do with the way NVidia calculate which is not compatible with the project.fellie wrote:Nvidia 9800gtx+ John .. it's crunched a few GPUgrids with no issues.
The BOINCManager should have said something along these lines. However, your system should be crunching the ones you do have as CPU WUs (I think!). I'd be very tempted to abort these as other projects pay better.
