To run as a service, boinc requires protected application execution, but if boinc runs protected GPU is unavailable!
----------------------------------------Did I well understand the explanation about Boinc 7? Yves --- After near 6 years, I have the feeling to become again a "newby" ! ... |

@Lawrence: thank you for the advice !
----------------------------------------After a Boinc upgrade to 7.0.28, GPU is computing without error (at this time). I am still looking for running boinc again as service. Cheers, Yves |

Hi Nanaprobe,
----------------------------------------thank you for the clear answer. The next challenge seems to be to run GPU project as a service. Cheers, Yves |

Hi Nanaprobe, thank you for the clear answer. The next challenge seems to be to run GPU project as a service. Cheers, Yves It's not just WCG. I try to follow to development of the BOINC software and since version 7s are being better optimized to run GPU apps I don't think you'll see that option in the near future if ever.

The next challenge seems to be to run GPU project as a service. Below is the relevant snip from Nvidia CUDA & ATI Stream (CAL) FAQWhen I ran BOINC in XP as a service, it would detect the GPU. Now I have Windows Vista or Windows 7, when BOINC is installed as a service it won't detect the GPU. When will you fix that? Emphasis mine.----------------------------------------------------------- It is not something for BOINC to fix. This is a Microsoft security feature, where it stops your user account from running in the same session as your drivers and services are run from. If it has to be fixed, it will have to come from Microsoft, or the GPU driver manufacturers have to find a way to run their drivers without using them as a service installation. There's a document on this at Session 0 isolation (Word document, can be loaded in Open Office Writer, not in Wordpad). An excerpt: Quote: In Microsoft® Windows® XP, Microsoft Windows Server™ 2003, and earlier versions of the Windows operating system, all services run in the same session as the first user who logs on to the console. This session is called Session 0. Running services and user applications together in Session 0 poses a security risk because services run at elevated privilege and therefore are targets for malicious agents who are looking for a way to elevate their own privilege level. The Microsoft Windows Vista™ operating system mitigates this security risk by isolating services in Session 0 and making Session 0 noninteractive. In Windows Vista, only system processes and services run in Session 0. The first user logs on to Session 1, and subsequent users log on to subsequent sessions. This means that services never run in the same session as users’ applications and are therefore protected from attacks that originate in application code. What Is Affected Any applications or drivers that are installed as a service are affected by the following implications. Some drivers are loaded within operating system services or processes that are running in Session 0, and those drivers are also affected by the implications of the Session 0 change ; |
