Hi Christian, yes, everything is still in the "lab". Didn't throw anything away. :) To challenge my own working assumption: One user with a "decent" rig with 8x Tesla V100s seem to enjoy his Volta based folding. How to get 15mio PPD from one System Now the question is: Is there a FAH relevant...

I do not intent to use the TitanV as a folding card, I was just using an "old" (and well known) application to get a first hands-on experience. 1st change: I dropped the 1080Ti from the system, letting the TitanV use the full x16 PCIe 3.0 bus bandwidth. Verified by devicebandwidth.exe, the card...

Hi there. Haven't been around for many years - too many other things in life .... :) Please feel free to add your own observations to this thread. Here my initial FAH observations: I got a Titan V and a 1080 Ti. Put them in one of my older folding systems and just restarted the rig to see what...

Hi Everybody & Happy New Year! Haven't been here for some years, thought I come back sometimes - like now :) The last years had been quite intense and interesting businesswise, leaving almost no room to play around with GPUs, multi/many cores and Distributed Computing. Had been deep into GPU's...

I talked with them about this. But given the size and duration of each of the projects they did not want to invest in creating BOINC ready projects, fearing that creating and maintaining it would take too much attention. The real fun part was the physical interaction, brainstorming, creating...

Hi Nathan_P :) part of the reason why I was less often here was a stronger focus on this "hardware". Which I would not call insane but rather reasonable. Got a second one last week, plus a lot more stuff at smaller scale over the last year. Most trips went fine except one - drowned the...

Thank you for your kind reply. BTW, I got the GTX 980 today. May be some people might be interested in the results Running the FAH benchmark the Maxwell chip shows its optimization vs the Kepler generation: Explicit solvent was 63.99 ns/day for the GTX 980 (best result listed so far GTX...

I just wanted to show a sign of life after staying away for approx a year and share how my HW had been used since I left the FAH crowd in these 12 months. Reading through some of the threads the departure from the FAH project seems to be a wider spread movement - showing the complexity and...

For what kind of application are you hoping to get that performance? 1 (marketing) TFlop/s will be reached much earlier than sustainable TFlop/s in a set of applications. The key bottleneck for sustainable HPC performance is not the ability of the datapath (= ALU) to compute stuff, but for...

These results show that POV doesn't scale beyond a single socket as good as one might expect. Thanks to (the lack of) Numa awareness in the application. BTW, my results came from a system with 4 x E5-4650 @ 2.7/2.9 GHz (32c/64t). Can check later single or dual socket results with the...

Reconfigured a server at home and tested a few programs earlier today. Andy

"Running on" is sometimes not enough in HPC. That's why there is a paper on performance portability (plus another paper) rgds, Andy

or rather in the direction that the days of CPU based simulations are ending "soon". Not factually but from an efficiency/performance perspective. In a world of limited dev resources, there might be a point in time, where it makes sense to move available dev resources to drive performance in...

Congrats DooKey - very well deserved ... all the best from across the pond, Andy

Think this is a great opportuntity to express a big Thank YOU to all folders from other teams who joined [H] for this "honorable" goal. Can't talk on behalf of the whole ]H] team, but the time, systems and energy you donated is really appreciated, Thanks, Andy
