Blue Screen after multiloop kernel run

Follow up

Hi, after some more investigations, this is a small code that illustrates the issue: aftercompleting  a few loops (around 150-200) the GPU doesn't return control to the CPU and the system crashes after a few minutes.

You'll notice that the kernel is really basic, as well as the exercice loop.

I suspect some issue with memory management in CAL/driver...

Am I the only one seeing this happening? I can't believe!

Thanks for support.

Jean-Claude
