I've actually been averaging a bit over 400k PPD on these SARS-CoV-2 units on my RX 480 (factory o/c to 1303MHz). AFAIK that's more productive (point- and science-wise) than any CPU, so I'd say it's definitely worth it.
Nice detective work _r2w_ben! Been having the same issue on my RX 480, and made the connection to larger simulations but didn't go so far as to look at the OpenMM code. Perhaps this insight can help Pande Labs/OpenMM/AMD figure out a solution.
We'll look into this. Hopefully it's an easy fix, but often fixes seem easier than they are in reality. Thank you for your response! I have a low-power, virtually silent (passively cooled) P-M system ready to fold. It's not the greatest, but given the chance I think it would meet A4-uni deadlines a...
bruce - What does it take to get the M reclassified? Would anyone be bothered enough with such an old (and, I suppose, now rare) CPU? I think you're right. It's not likely to happen. That's rather unfortunate considering they shouldn't be excluded in the first place. If the FaH CPU feature detectio...
These discussions, led by consumers and a few programmers, inevitably start from the premise that an open standard (e.g., OpenCL) is Good, and a proprietary one (e.g. CUDA) is Bad, and that Nvidia is being mean to us by keeping it proprietary. Conversely, the sun would shine and all would be good i...
Based on forum reports, there have been several recent revisions of AMD drivers which have contained bugs that interfere with the reliable use of OpenCL for AMD GPUs. Until AMD resolves those issues, there's little incentive for a researcher to release new projects for AMD. Does that not imply the ...
Ok I suppose I should've counted both projects that show up in the project summary stats. I'm only an occasional folder so my experience my not be fully representative of the situation. Regardless, it doesn't really change the sentiment of my original post.
Can anybody clarify what the deal is with AMD GPU project(s?) regarding the new unified benchmarking scheme? In the blog post a couple weeks ago it said: We are still in the process of re-benchmarking some old projects assigned to ATI and G80 GPUs. The only AMD project I ever get is p11293, which do...
