So can we expect WUs for AMD cards?

GREAT!

* why do we need it? Almost all of our application development is now done in Python. This app will give us a way to reliably deploy and execute our software on GPUGRID volunteers' computers by providing a uniform, known Python environment

Is there anything in particular we need to have installed on our linux machines? Is python already installed by default in linux distributions?

Python distributions and packaging are what's technically known as a catastrophe. We have to deploy our own stand-alone environment to have any hope of getting a reliable base to work from.

So can we expect WUs for AMD cards?

It's something that this new app will help us develop, yes.

Ah. So this will be run in a VM? We will need vbox installed? I am trying to understand what is required for the user to install to allow this to work.

Need more details ...
Will this be deployed as a VM requiring VirtualBox?

Interesting.
Project resumed and waiting for WU.

0 wu of this beta app.
Why publish this news without work to submit?

Because there were some WUs and test with them have been done.

Hi, long time browser, first time poster. Love your work guys.

Just have one niggling question...

Way back late July [url]http://gpugrid.net/forum_thread.php?id=4341&nowrap=true#44031[/url] there was word of a new app for Pascal to take advantage of the new GTX 10x0 GPUs once Cuda 8 was released.

Afaik Cuda 8.0 came out September 28, 2016 (14 days ago) but I can't seem to find anything clear to say that the original app tested with Cuda 8.0 RC is going to be rolled out, or if a new app is being developed to replace it altogether. Given we're mid October and the year is rolling to a close soon, it'd be handy to know what's happening or planned.

It'd be great if someone could have a sticky - Moderator only GPUGRID App Status thread that lets everyone know what's current version, what's in testing, blockers (from stopping rollout) etc. as this would greatly assist in diseminating info out to all those who are treading water with Pascal GPUs (I've 2x Titan X Pascal GPUs myself sitting idle) waiting for a suitable Pascal compatible app release.

Other than that, please keep up the good work.

Seriously though the project can't even provide enough work to keep the current GPUs busy...

That's not true. There was no significant workunit shortage in the past months. However there was just enough to feed the active hosts.
Ironically, since your post Stefan announced the CASP batch, which will provide plenty of short and long workunits as well.

7 minutes on a gtx 670.. Wow that's pretty impressive! How long do the long tasks take you on the gtx 670?

By long tasks I mean long runs.

I'm having a hard time trying to understand. Unfortunately programming isn't in my CV, I simply work in Freight and Distribution.

I thought with the release of Cuda 8, that work previously carried out on a pascal compliant version would hit production and that through the evaluation of Cuda 8, Pascal and the Titan X (P) / GTX 1080 / 1070 would lead to ease of programming for the lower end (1060 / 1050) when they came out.

Given there's no news whatsoever on Cuda 8.5 (Beta / RC / Release), what is it that's in Cuda 8.5 that's not in Cuda 8? Is it because of Visual Studio / Cuda bugs? I'm assuming there's still massive underlying issues in the code that don't allow a Pascal GRID App to be released / tested.

Forgive my ignorance, just trying to get a feel for things as a whole.

Just feel kinda helpless having 22TFLOPS of GPU grunt sitting here idle (as I'm sure many others do too). I was hoping to upgrade my setup to incorporate several externally linked GTX1080 / Titan GPUs to assist with this project (and also double as an Iray rendering server for me) definitely going ahead with that plan if we can get a steady flow of Pascal WUs happening at some stage.

Would love to continue there, but the thread is locked......

Sorry to steer the conversation away from it's subject.

Three months are gone and I never saw a WU.
Any news?

Hello,
I'm aware that gpugrid runs on CUDA. And I know that there's no WU for AMD cards.
But, this thread is about a cpu application that *maybe* can evolve in a OpenCL gpu version.

The application is linux-only and I no longer use nvidia cards: so, why not try to help with the cpu of my linux box?

Cheers.

After 7 months without any WU, my processor is tired of waiting.
Project suspended, see you.

I also have some AMD cards that I would love to throw on this project.

And once again...........The project is wasting my time and money. 100% failure rate is not acceptable.

Just wanted to start the weekend early?
