SO more work for us to crunch ? good good :) | |

Wwlcome to both in advance and, like Maxinna said, it's a great "crunchy"good news for us !!! | |

Will you have work for Nvidia Tesla cards? | |

Nice - so my GTX750 will be able to crunch continously. | |

Guys, is there a reason why don't you support other project with you resources, while you don't have any work unit to crunch? Like Einstein, Rosetta or World Community Grid. | |

Honestly, I'm becoming ambivalent to BOINC projects and have crunched for Rosetta for many years also many others. | |

But you have to remember that if these projects were major efforts by big pharmaceutical companies, they would probably be run on their own computers.They do this kind of research. See http://top500.org/statistics/sublist/. Select "All" lists and try different "Application area"s like Biology, Biochemistry, Life science, Medicine, Pharmaceutics. Not all supercomputers are public. Or try google pharmaceutics supercomputer or supercomputing pharma. The main reason for doing this kind of research via BOINC is that the results are published, so it won't be the intellectual property of one big pharma company. | |

In theory, 100 GeForce GTX 1080 cards would have 887,300 TFlops SP and would scrape into that top 100 super computer list. | |

What is an amazing discovery is that out of the three replys to my post NON have addressed anything I said. | |

Einstein@home: Not biomedical, but have GPU (CUDA) app Rosetta@home: Biomedical, but CPU only WCG: it has Biomedical projects, but right now CPU only By the way I've changed my mind long ago, and I've set Einstein@home as my backup (GPU) project. SETI@Home also have a GPU (CUDA) app. | |

What is an amazing discovery is that out of the three replys to my post NON have addressed anything I said. Maybe our replies didn't directly respond to your comments, but perhaps that's because we get where you are coming from. Generally there is a gap between the DC researchers and the crunchers. Here that gap has been bridged somewhat, however this is about the most complex scientific research being performed by DC and it's not a big, well funded group. All the research papers that resulted from our work are available to us and the general public. Perhaps the scientists could better elaborate on the results; explain what they mean, how they are/may be useful, but they have put some effort in. With respect to DC it's viable as I've pointed out. Boinc isn't perfect but it does let us contribute to several/many projects, if we want to - good when there is a drought. ____________ FAQ's HOW TO: - Opt out of Beta Tests - Ask for Help | |

SETI@Home also have a GPU (CUDA) app. If attaching to SETI for NV work note that you will receive both cuda and opencl tasks. Make sure that you're running 362.00 (or previous) drivers or the new 368.22: https://www.gpugrid.net/forum_thread.php?id=4291&nowrap=true#43513 | |

What is an amazing discovery is that out of the three replys to my post NON have addressed anything I said. I did get the fact that you were unhappy, but other than that you weren't very clear. If you have a question, why don't you ask it? Otherwise, we are free (and required) to interpret what you said for ourselves. But I always point out, on this and other forums, that unless the research is applied, it doesn't do any good. Supporting very basic reseach without any immediate application is fine; it should be done. But you can't then expect to see any great results right away either. | |

Well, groups also don't have the funding or manpower of a Pharma to do the whole pipeline of drug discovery so they limit themselves to more basic research which is then applied in some cases by Pharma. | |

Einstein@home: Not biomedical, but have GPU (CUDA) app Poem@Home (opencl) | |

Einstein@home: Not biomedical, but have GPU (CUDA) app POEM has both CPU and GPU workunits. The GPU application used to crash a lot, but now seems stable. Their opencl workunits are well behaved and finish fast. The project science is similar to Rosetta, predict spatial structure of protein. Beside that I don't now what they simulate. Have always plenty of work. Admins are quiet. OT: What does [VENETO] or other in squarebrackets in usernames mean? ____________ | |

POEM GPU units are intended to "crystallisation studies of organic molecules" more than biomedical investigation like Rosetta or GPUgrid. On the other hand, POEM CPU units are intended to protein simulation . | |

Hi, it's a group of a team (here VENETO is a region of Italy). K. ____________ Dreams do not always come true. But not because they are too big or impossible. Why did we stop believing. (Martin Luther King) | |

OT: What does [VENETO] or other in squarebrackets in usernames mean? Like KidKidKid said, Boinc Italy team uses the regions of Italy as beginning of usernames (it's not mandatory) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regions_of_Italy VENETO is one of these https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Veneto P.S New student is arrived? | |

I just downloaded a WU compiled by Adria. | |

new student has left? I am asking because the periods without new tasks available are getting more frequent and longer. | |

More work please. Crunching for other projects but would love to crunch more for GPUGrid. | |

Can anyone from the GPUGRID people enlighten us on the current status with regard to new students producing tasks for us? | |

I am not sure what the impatience is. I mean I would love to have the new student "meet us" on the forums and tell us about themselves, but when it comes to work and tasks that don't fail, doesn't that come with time and learning the system a little? Do new students in the past usually just step into the school, write tasks, and have them work with no issues, or is being a student of anything usually have a learning curve over those that have been around for a long time? Just sayin'/askin'. | |

I am not sure what the impatience is. I wouldn't call it impatience. It's just the desire for a little bit more information about what's going on at GPUGRID staff-wise. I would think that we crunchers simply deserve getting this kind of information, don't you agree? | |

I am not sure what the impatience is. Nah, not really. They aren't staff, they are students. We are volunteers doing work that we know is valuable. The details of each and every work unit, student, and type of experiment are surely desirable, but not deserved. We've read the papers that got published, we know the work has dividends to the students and to science, computing methods, and health issues, and we accept to do that work. I think that is the end of expectations, at least for me. After that, its all eye candy and extra goodies. If a problem arises, I think there is a deserved answer and/or solution, but who the new student is and what the exact work they are achieving would only be 'desired', in my opinion. If there was an option on choosing in the options what 'type' of work we do on our pcs, like if we could only choose methods or only choose cancer, or something like that, then we would be deserving of knowing the details of the kind of work being done under that type maybe. Either way, I think desired, yes, but deserved, no. | |

Nah, not really. Two crunchers - two opinions :-) | |

I will have some simulations going this week hopefully, which will be again a bit brutal (it's the OPM again). That will be around 700 sims, plus another 700 soon after (maybe next week?) for a different forcefield. That should conclude my work on that paper. | |

I would suggest that they be limited to GPUs with 2GB or more memory. They're dog slow on 1GB cards. Once again, we could use a 3rd queue for these long and demanding WUs. | |

Hi Stefan, Did you intend to use minimum replication 2 at the outset or is that an error? I note that minimum qourum remains 1 so you are not replicating for redundancy | |
