Setting persistence mode is not supported for GPU

Accelerated Computing CUDA CUDA Programming and Performance

I’ve a multi GPU system: 3 x K40s
Running CUDA 6.0 with device driver: 322.88 on a x64 Windows 7 machine

I’m trying to set the GPUs to use persistent mode for GPU BOOST.
Running the following from an administrator command line:

nvidia-smi -pm 1

Gives the following error: Setting persistence mode is not supported for GPU

I have the GPUs set at max speed settings:

nvidia-smi.exe -ac 3004,875

With compute mode set to 3:

nvidia-smi -c 3

Any help would be much appreciated.

[url]Driver Persistence :: GPU Deployment and Management Documentation

Basically that option is Linux only. “On Windows the kernel mode driver is loaded at Windows startup and kept loaded until Windows shutdown.”

RTFM was the answer then :-)
Didn’t realise a driver persistence document existed had just read the GPU BOOST documentation.
Thanks for the help.
