CUDA 11.1 release
(Message 55364)
Posted 1301 days ago by MarkJ 
Toni mentioned that they also need the OpenMM libraries to be updated before they can update the app. I sent him a PM telling him about CUDA 11.1. He mentioned it in his reply. A quick google search led me to OpenMM.org and they have a bug raised for Ampere performance here which seems to indicate they don't think it needs a new version, so maybe its just a matter of recompiling with CUDA 11.1. |

CUDA 11.1 released with support for RTX30 series cards. I'm guessing that the ACEMD app will need to be recompiled with the latest toolkit to support the Ampere cards (if people can actually get one). Full story here |

Gianfranco has also pushed the 7.16.11 into buster-backports for those of you running Debian. If you are running Ubuntu he has a ppa here |

Logging into the website is insecure according to Firefox. If you go to https://gpugrid.net/login_form.php or https://www.gpugrid.net/login_form.php they both redirect to the insecure one (http://www.gpugrid.net/login_form.php). The login link at the top of the forum pages also goes to the insecure one. Given you have to enter your email address and password on this screen it needs to be secure. |

I am curious about pricing and amount of cuda cores and speed of cuda cors. See https://www.nvidia.com/en-au/design-visualization/quadro/rtx-8000/ It’s got 48GB of GDDR6 memory! |

Major SNAFU in Effect
(Message 51883)
Posted 1798 days ago by MarkJ
So does anyone want to explain how a BOINC wrapper works? The docs don't really say anything about the mechanics involved. From what I understand its a wrapper program they put around their normal (non-BOINC) science app that is used to invoke it. No pre-reqs. No need for vbox. That way the wrapper handles the BOINC interaction and allows the use of non-BOINC app. See https://boinc.berkeley.edu/trac/wiki/WrapperApp for docs. |

BOINC manager v7.8.2 has been released
(Message 47892)
Posted 2407 days ago by MarkJ
In later Linux kernels vsyscall is disabled. I'm running Debian and can't go past the 4.9 kernel (without fiddling) due to it. Ubuntu 17.04 ships with the 4.10 kernel as default. My machines are Ryzen 1700 and running BOINC 7.8.2 from the Stretch-backports repo. See this thread at Einstein. |

Why can't I get any WU or a response from managment?
(Message 47822)
Posted 2427 days ago by MarkJ
I'm not management so this is my interpretation of the situation. The project have previously stated: 1. They don't have any BOINC expertise any more. 2. Their current app doesn't work on CC3 devices (like the GTX770) There was the question around who is going to fix it. Short answer is nobody. Without the BOINC person who would also be their programmer then there is nothing the project can do. Nvidia can't help because the project would need a programmer to provide technical details, source code, etc. Unless the project can get a programmer then this isn't likely to change. |
