Hi, I would like to report success w.r.t. running the examples on my desktop machine, using 2 GeForce GTS 250 cards (either SLI enabled or disabled).
The issue was that the debug openmp dll was not found. I disabled openmp in the project files, and now the examples are running ok. The VS2005 project files are not consistent anyway: there is a mix of enabled and disabled openmp in the project files. --> Stefan, imho the solution and project files are now usable for other people so maybe you would like to add these to svn. Just let me know and I will send them to you. The question now is: is OpenMP necessary for maximizing the performance? I guess so... --> Is there anyone who knows how to get openmp installed correctly by Visual Studio 2008 Debug? cheers Raymond On 3/10/2010 11:51 AM, Raymond de Vries wrote: > Hi, > > Yes, I am building everything from svn using VS2008, with my own brewed > solution + project files for VS2008. > >>> The crash happens on my desktop machine with 2 GPUs (GeForce GTS 250), >>> non-SLI. >> >> How does it crash?
