    We have finally begun to automatically deliver CUDA work & applications (plan class "ABP1cuda23") to machines that satisfy the following requirements:

    - enabled NVIDIA GPU work in Einstein@home preferences
    - NVidia GPU with at least 450MB of free memory
    - Display Driver version 190.38 (&up), i.e. CUDA 2.3 capability
    - BOINC Core Client version 6.10 (&up)

    CUDA Beta App testers should drain their work cache and switch back to the normal project work.

      Are these the same 'hybrid' applications, requiring a full CPU core in support, that we were testing in Beta, or have you been able to tansfer more of the other calculations (apart from fft) onto the GPU?


      These are basically the same Apps as have been in Beta est. They still require a full CPU core.

        And did you forget to include a fifth piece of requirement - Not meant for Macs...!!!


        Yep. Stupid as it is, NVidia hasn't yet delivered their promised 64Bit CUDA libraries for Mac OS X. As soon as they do, we could build and send out CUDA Apps for Macs, too.
