Re: [Condor-users] GPU support on windows?

[Henri Astre <henri.astre@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks a lot for your fast answer!

Sadly keeping one user logged on each computer is not appropriate for my solution.
Do you know an alternative to Condor that can handle GPU computing on windows? (open-source or commercial)

Thanks.

I spoke to another developer and his recommendation is that the only
way to achieve this right now with Condor is to run a personal Condor
on Windows.  The downsides of course are you need a user logged on in
order for Condor to start and run, and you lose the sandboxing that
happens when Condor is run as a service.  Whether this solution is
appropriate for the environment your respective machines are in is a
separate matter.

Hi Ziliang,

Could I add a +1 to GPU under Windows. We tried to do this last year and
came to the conclusion it wasn't going to work without changes to Condor.

Cheers,

Steve..

Looking at the code currently, we do not provide a mechanism to attach
to a window station not associated with session 0.  As such, there is
not a way within Condor that I'm aware of that lets you get around the
limited access that Vista and higher has imposed.  This is likely a
problem I'll work on when/if supporting GPU jobs on Windows becomes a
priority.  Right now most people doing GPU jobs have been doing it on
Linux so there hasn't been that much demand.

Hello,

First of all I'm new to condor so I'm sorry about the newbie question.
I'd like to launch jobs that needs GPU support on windows (OpenGL only
for
now, not Cuda).

I've seen some post about GPU support in condor but none of them seems
to be
working on windows?
- RFC: Adding GPUs into Condor[1]
- GPU and condor?[2]

My big concern is that it seems that condor is launching process on the
session 0 which only have limited GPU support (due to new security
changes
since windows vista).
->It's not possible to create a valid OpenGL context from this session,
you
need to launch your process from another session.
I've found this post[3] about lauching process in another
session/window but
there is nothing available?

Is GPU support only available for linux?
If not, do you have some hint on how to setup a working solution?
(I'm launching programs from bat script using the vanilla universe and
the
stable version 7.6.5)

Thanks in advance.

Henri
