cudaHashcat-plus64.bin at amazon ec2 cg1.4xlarge instance
#1
Hi,

is there a way to run cudaHashcat-plus64.bin v0.13 at amazon ec2 cg1.4xlarge instance with Tesla M2050 GPU? I tried following things but without success:

The original installed nvidia driver and cuda toolkit are these:
nvidia-313.18-2012.09.0.amzn1.x86_64
cudatoolkit-4.2.9-1.2.amzn1.x86_64

If I run
./cudaHashcat-plus64.bin -a 3 -m 2500 ./WPA.hccap
I get this error message:

ERROR: No NVidia compatible platform found

At the download page https://hashcat.net/oclhashcat-plus/
I can read that the minimum version of nvidia driver is 310.32 and in the Wiki
at https://hashcat.net/wiki/doku.php?id=ocl..._forceware you can see that ForceWare Version 304.32, CUDA Toolkit Version 5.0 RC and NVAPI Version R300 are required. If I understand it right then NVAPI is only needed for temparature measurements so I dont need to install it. BTW: What does ForceWare mean? Is this the "normal" nvidia driver at http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us ???

I also looked at the latest driver for "Tesla M2050" which is the 310.32 and the latest cuda tool kit 5.0.35 for CentOS (RHEL6.x) link: http://developer.download.nvidia.com/com...l6.x-1.run

So I uninstalled the original driver / cuda with yum remove ... and installed the driver 310.32 with no problems. But when I try to install the cuda 5.0.35 I get this warning:

***WARNING: Incomplete installation! This installation did not install the CUDA Driver. A driver of version at least 304.54 is required for CUDA 5.0 functionality to work.
To install the driver using this installer, run the following command, replacing <CudaInstaller> with the name of this run file:
sudo <CudaInstaller>.run -silent -driver

But 310.32 > 304.54 and in the folder /usr/local/cuda are many files...
Awesome!

If I run
./cudaHashcat-plus64.bin -a 3 -m 2500 ./WPA.hccap
I get the same error like before:

ERROR: No NVidia compatible platform found


So I uninstalled the cuda 5.0 and installed the
cudatoolkit_4.2.9_linux_64_rhel6.0.run

Here I got no warning from cuda installation but cudaHashcat-plus64.bin brings the same error.

What does the error message exactly mean? Any files missing?

Best regards
