1) Message boards : News : 2017 year in review (Message 1953) Posted 23 Jan 2018 by Daniel Liebmann Post: First of all thanks to Eric for protecting my privacy, but I have no problem answering directly ;-) As Eric said, we are in a very early stage, so it is very difficult to give detailed requirements. Basically with GPU applications the guiding principle applies: more (of everything) is better / faster. Maybe we will give the user the possibility to fine-tune the app for their own hardware (via an appconfig.xml). Since I personally prefer a test-driven development and only have a NVIDIA GTX 1080 Ti, one can assume that the GPU App is optimized for Nvidia cards first. Unless someone wants to sponsor a comparable and up-to-date ATI card. As we develop the GPU App with OpenCL, i expect to see separate optimized applications for Nvidia and ATI GPUs as well as AMD / Intel CPUs with integrated graphics chips in the (far) future. Of course, Eric and I like to keep you up to date with any news. But keep in mind that it will take some month, cause i can only work on it in my (limited) freetime.
2) Message boards : News : Database crash (Message 1944) Posted 9 Jan 2018 by Daniel Liebmann Post: It looks like they are getting more and more.
3) Message boards : News : New subfield search (Message 1913) Posted 21 Dec 2017 by Daniel Liebmann Post: Maybe in this case OpenACC could help (Their slogan is: "More Science, less programming"). It is quite easy to migrate existing code. It is not as performant as native CUDA / OpenCL, but would still be a big runtime improvement. Take a look at https://www.openacc.org/
4) Message boards : Number crunching : 300day work unit (Message 1529) Posted 3 Feb 2016 by Daniel Liebmann Post: wu_Qsqrt421_DS3x8_CV1_S815_N2_-194114_N1_805809to806198_1 is one of my longest (and last of that kind) running task, with currently ~7days and will finish in ~2,5 days.
5) Message boards : Number crunching : 300day work unit (Message 1509) Posted 24 Jan 2016 by Daniel Liebmann Post: Double credit sounds nice and with 30 days of runtime i will be fine. I wasnt sure if the 300 days showing up is an accurate time-value or if the task may run in loop or something like that. Thx for your helpfull answer, i will not abort that wu ;-)
6) Message boards : Number crunching : 300day work unit (Message 1507) Posted 24 Jan 2016 by Daniel Liebmann Post: Take a look at the screenshot: Should i abort that WU or should i wait some days? I will not wait 290 Days :D
