Skybuck's Test CUDA Memory Benchmark Performance, ReadMeFirst
version 0.01 created on 12 february 2015

Before running CUDA Kernels/Applications which take a long time to run it's a good idea to turn off the "watchdog" in Windows.

If the watchdog is not turned off then the graphics driver will be reset if the CUDA Kernel/Applications takes longer than 2 seconds to run !

To disable the watchdog, click the start button of windows and type RegEdit into the white box.

Then navigate towards the following registry key:

KeyPath   : HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\GraphicsDrivers
KeyValue  : TdrLevel
ValueType : REG_DWORD
ValueData : TdrLevelOff (0) - Detection disabled 
TdrLevelBugcheck (1) - Bug check on detected timeout, for example, no recovery.
TdrLevelRecoverVGA (2) - Recover to VGA (not implemented).
TdrLevelRecover (3) - Recover on timeout. This is the default value.

The default value is 3, change this value to 0.
