Hi there, I just saw that NVidia has released the Cuda 5.5 RC for registered Cuda devs. It supports VS 2012 now... So I can begin testing with cuda binaries compiled with VS2012 without having to cheat ;) /Jürgen ___ Bf-committers mailing list

Hi, I tested the 5.5 Toolkit already, and unfortunately it still gives a big slowdown for Cycles rendering. So updating to 5.5 is not a solution for our official releases. :( Thomas Am 03.06.2013 10:54, schrieb Jürgen Herrmann: Hi there, I just saw that NVidia has released the Cuda 5.5 RC

Hmm, unfortunately it's the only clean solution for vs 2012 :( The other solution is to trick nvcc by either using the vc9 platform toolkit to compile cycles cuda kernel or to manually edit some files to force compilation with vs 2012. Both gave me random crashes I could not reproduce with 100%

Hi Mitchell, We found out that (probably due to a bug) over 600 people were monitoring the tracker, which caused the system to send out 600 mails for every change in the tracker. That caused the mail queue to get stuck, with a load of bounces. Result was also that many updates for reports you

I just had a look on the nvcc compiler options we use to compile cuda binaries. First of all we still use --opencc-options that are ignored by nvcc 5.0 and 5.5 when compiling for sm_20 and up. Maybe we should see if there are nvcc optimization options we can use to regain speed when using Cuda

Hi again, The new OIIO libraries don't make any difference. OIIO depends on OpenEXR and not the other way around. So although that could I can't see how they would change things. I remember when you first uploaded the libraries you forgot a header file (which I'm using in the code). I wonder if

Hi Dalai, I can recompile the libs tomorrow. I'll contact you when I am done. I doubt that this will change anything though. The header that was missing wasn't installed by the CMake build routine it was not missing at compile time. It was just omitted by the install script. But nevertheless
