[NEWS] New GPU3 clients - v6.40r1

    The new revisions of the GPU3 client have been released:
    Console
    Systray

    You will need to remove '_console' and '_systray' from the file names.
    The major change to these clients is that the gpu species is now based on the compute capability of the board. In the earlier v6 client, the species was based on the installed version of the CUDA runtime libraries. The new gpu species values are

    Compute capability -> gpu species

    1.0 -> 10
    1.1 -> 11
    1.2 -> 12
    1.3 -> 13
    2.0 -> 20
    2.1 -> 21
    unknown -> 0

    The motivation for these changes is that NVIDIA GPU3 cores cannot run on boards w/ compute capability 1.0. If a WU is run on these older boards, it will crash.
    The GPUs affected (GPUs with CC 1.0) are:
    GeForce 8800 Ultra
GeForce 8800GTX
GeForce 8800GTS

Tesla S870
Tesla D870
Tesla C870

Quadro Plex 2100 (Model S4)
Quadro Plex 1000 (Model IV)
Quadro FX 5600
Quadro FX 4600

    They haven't specifically said, but since it's a change to the hardware profiling, I would assume that new WUs would require this new client, so I'd update when you can.
