My laptop doesn't have any nVidia graphic cards. I want to work on CUDA. The website says that CUDA can be worked in emulation mode on non-cuda hardware too. But when I tried installing CUDA drivers downloaded from their website, it gives an error "The nvidia setup couldn't locate any drivers that are compatible with yoour current hardwa...
I'm getting a fishy error when using glDrawElements(). I'm trying to render simple primitives (mainly rectangles) to speed up drawing of text and so forth, but when I call glDrawElements() the WHOLE screen blinks black (not just my window area) for one frame or so. The next frame it turns back to the same "Windows colors" as before. And ...
Microsoft creates their windows and MFC DLL library, etc. An open source develop write a new MFC application and release the source code as GPL. The app has to link with the MS DLL/libraries to run in Windows, but I don't think anyone can argue that we now have the right to force the Microsoft's GPL their DLL. Does this mean the GPL...
I'm trying to debug a complex Makefile. How do you get GNU make to print all the commands it runs? I couldn't find the answer in the man page (using the -d flag doesn't seem to print it). (This isn't necessary info to answer my question, but in case you're wondering: I'm having trouble compiling a project built on NVIDIA's CUDA library...
For NVIDIA graphics cards, you can have two working as one (SLI). For a .NET desktop application, I need to be able to check that SLI is enabled. Is this possible? ...
hi wanted to calculate the degreee between two triangles where every point of them has a 3d coordinate.... i.e. triangle 1: point1(x1,y1,z1), point2(x2,y2,z2), point3(x3,y3,z3). triangle 2: point1(x1,y1,z1), point2(x2,y2,z2), point4(x4,y4,z4). yes, the triangles always share exactly same two points. is there a way to calculate the degr...
I'm trying to load a large dataset of a million points in 3d space in MATLAB, but whenever I try to plot it (scatter or plot3) , it takes forever. This is on a laptop with Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950, up to 224-MB shared system memory. This also sometimes leads to Matlab 2008a crashing. Is there a way to let MATLAB use a Nvidia ...
The more i learn about OpenGL, the more problems i find! All i need is a list of the most common problems between ATI/NVIDIA cards, with solutions. So where is this magical source? ...
hi i just wanted to know whether it is possible to do the following inside the nvidia cuda kernel __global__ void compute(long *c1, long size, ...) { ... long d[1000]; ... } or the following __global__ void compute(long *c1, long size, ...) { ... long d[size]; ... } ...
hi i was running cuda program on a machine which has cpu with four cores, how is it possible to change cuda c program to use all four cores and all gpu's available? i mean my program also does things on host side before computing on gpus'... thanks! ...
I recently started to learn how to use openCL to speed up some part of my code. So far the speed gain is impressive. In one case the code ran up to 50X faster than on the CPU. However I wonder if can start using this code in a production environnement. The reason is that the first time that I tried to run the example code, nothing worked...
Hello, i need to write few applications about lowlevel videocard controling for my coursework. For example - temperature, working SM's, managing access to them, etc. OS linux, tesla c1060. Could you give me few advices where to search this kind of information? CUDA does not provide these features. It must be some work with dev\nvidia*...
In the NVIDIA README for the Quadro card X driver, there is this comment: Workstation overlays, stereo visuals, and the unified back buffer (UBB) are incompatible with Composite. These features will be automatically disabled when Composite is detected Is there some fundamental X reason why this is so? Why are quadro cards ...
Hi there, Some drivers use parameters written in the registry to configure themselves when they get loaded at boot time. I can modify those values and then reboot, but I would like to know if it is possible to force the driver reload, making the changes effective without rebooting. Specifically, I am talking about the video driver (nvi...
How is the NVIDIA PhysX engine implemented in the NVIDIA GPUs: It's a co-processor or the physical algorithms are implemented as fragment programs to be executed in the GPU pipeline ? ...
Hello, Does OpenCL support for Nvidia GTX 295 exists for Linux or is expected in the near future? TIA, -S ...
Already finished my application which multiplies CRS matrix and vector (SpMV) and the only thing to do now is to count FLOPS my application did. In my opinion it's really hard to estimate number of floating point operation in case of sparse matrix - vector multiplication, because the number of multiplies in one row is really "jumpy" or f...
I am in the process of setting up a CUDA workstation. Platform specs: Intel Core 2 Duo Nvidia GTX 280 Fedora 10 GCC version 4.3.2 I have installed the developer driver, toolkit, and the SDK. When I try to compile the SDK example code I get the following errors: make[1]: * [obj/i386/release/cutil.cpp.o] Error 1 make: * [lib/libcutil....
Hi, I've got an NVIDIA Quadro FX 4800 card hooked up in a Windows XP box and I am trying to compile and run some code using the NVGVOSDK. This SDK is not very well documented and is rather old. I downloaded version 1.2 from the NVIDIA Partners site which is from 2007 but appears to be the latest version. I am trying to compile and run...
At present, Ubuntu offers the 195.36.24 drivers as nvidia-current in their repository. This packaged driver is pretty cool as it uses DKMS so you don't have to keep reinstalling the driver after a new kernel version. The NVIDIA .run package drivers are at version 257 (beta) but they don't use DKMS so the graphics screws up every time a ...
