Re: CUDA client problems

Philippe,

Thanks for the quick answer!. I'll give it a try.

Best regards,

Yes, I have managed to get them to run simultanously.

Install the CPU client as you normally would.
Create a dos batch file that with the following:
start /b /d"PATH/TO/YOUR/EXECUTABLE" dnetc.exe -multiok=1 -quiet

Create a shortcut to the dos file in the Programs Startup folder, or
link directly to the dos batch file from the windows registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

That way the CPU starts as a service, and the CUDA client start as an
application, just working in the background.

If you look at your task manager, you would see two instances of
dnetc, one using 99%, and one using 0% cpu time.

Hope that helps.

Quoting Kevin McCoy <[email protected]> :

I am having lots of problems with the CUDA client. I wonder if anyone
has had similar issues or has any advice?

I have tried all the service/stand-alone permutations of CPU and CUDA
clients, trying to run them simultaneously. Nothing works. I can run
either one quite nicely, but not both at the same time.

If I install one as a service it deinstalls the opposite one.

If I run one stand-alone, the other refuses to start in stand-alone
mode. If I try running one as a service, the opposite one won't even
start in stand-alone mode.

I have the EXEs for each of them located in separate subdirectories.
They don't share any files or buffers.

My goal is to install them both as services, since I want them to run in
the background, even if I am not logged in. Has anyone had any luck at
all getting them both to play nicely on the same machine?
