NumberFields@home: GPU app - beta version for linux nvidia
After all these years, we finally have our first GPU app. It's only a beta version for 64bit linux with Nvidia GPUs. Support for other platforms and GPUs will be coming soon.
If you'd like to help test this app, you will need to check the "run test applications" box on the project preferences page. I generated a special batch of work for this app from some older WUs that I have truth for. This will help to find any potential bugs that are still there.
A few potential issues:
1. This was built with the Cuda SDK version 10.1, so it uses a relatively new Nvidia driver version and only supports compute capability 3.0 and up. If this affects too many users out there, I will need to rebuild with on older SDK.
2. I was not able to build a fully static executable, but I did statically link the ones most likely to be a problem (i.e. pari, gmp, std c++)
Please report any problems. I am still relatively new to the whole GPU app process, so I am sure there will be issues of some kind.
Also, feel free to leave comments regarding what platform, GPU, etc I should concentrate on next. I was thinking I would attack linux OpenCL (i.e. ATI/AMD) next as that should be a quick port of what I did with Nvidia. I think the windows port will take much longer, since I normally use mingw to cross-compile but I don't think that's compatible with the nvidia compiler.
Interesting!!!

CC 3.0 means Kepler, I don't think it will be a limitation. I will try it out tomorrow and eventually report any issue

I was trying to task on my GTX 1060 3GB Card AMD 2P Rig but it said my Drivers were too old. Running 390.77 also tested on my GTX 1080 Ti Cards on an Intel CPU.

You need a driver with CUDA 10, you need a R410 driver at least, actually an R418 if he used the 10.1 SDK

That is not yet part of the OS Install under Ubuntu for us None Unix Users to install  390.77 is the Last Ubuntu NVIDIA Driver. ATM this Driver works well on all Other BOINC GPU Projects. For now I can wait for this to be released for the Windows Platform.

That's the latest version available on the Ubuntu repository?  On the NVIDIA website you can download the 418.56, they works on any Linux distro

if you're using Ubuntu(or Mint) you need only set up the GPU ppa they have. It's quite simple, then you can use the "additional drivers" to pick whatever driver you wish. They have all they way up to 418. Although there are only 2 commands to run to do it here is the page https://launchpad.net/~graphics-drivers/+archive/ubuntu/ppaI set all my drivers to 410 since it's the "lts" version and have had no troubles with it yet. Hope it helps

Thanks I have this one now Old long-lived branch release: `nvidia-390` (390.87) but it runs well on the GTX 1080 Ti for all other Projects. On the GTX Cards I see 4xx.xx Drivers not doing so well at least on OpenCL and CUDA Apps I will see later today after I get my KP installed.

Ya, 390 is now the old "lts". Let us know how it works out for ya.
