Re: Einstein - Improved apps for nvidia cards

I installed my new 3080Ti yesterday (350 watt TDP) and am running Einstein on the "new" opencl 3.0 app. The OS is Mint 20.3 and TnGrid is running on 30 threads (5950X). The power limit is set using 'sudo nvidia-smi -pl 275' as an example for setting the power limit at 275 watts. Default po...

Yeah, Einstein doesn't use DP math. Apparently memory bandwith/performance is one factor for Einstein performance but I think it's more complicated than that.

Re: Einstein - Improved apps for nvidia cards

The BOINC coproc_info.xml file also shows OpenCL 3.0 on all of the computers so I guess that means it should work even for the really old cards... According to the thread above, the server only distributes the new app to computers with Nvidia compute capability 6.1 or higher. It might be worth test...

Re: [Folding@home] COVID Moonshot funded by COVID-19 Therapeutics Accelerator to rapidly develop a safe, globally access

Pfizer just started a phase 2/3 clinical trial with a Covid-19 main protease inhibitor. Of course, their compound will be patented and they will charge what the market will bear.

Re: Einstein - Improved apps for nvidia cards

For instance, I'm trying to figure out if my GTX 1060 and Quadro P4000 cards support OpenCL 3.0 or not. They both have the appropriate GTX and Quadro version 472.12 drivers installed. According to the techpowerup database, both your cards support OpenCL 3.0. https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/ge...

Apparently AMD doesn't have a driver that supports OpenCL 3.0 yet. The AMD driver situation on linux is a mess. The new drivers only support rcr (rocm) and legacy installation options. They dropped support for PAL which is required for MilkyWay app support on the Radeon VII. I rebooted my Radeon VII...

Re: Einstein - Improved apps for nvidia cards

The app version distributed by mint is an older version. Perhaps installing the latest version manually would fix that error.

I shut down the 2P Ivy beast for now. The PPD is between a 3700X and a 3900X and it draws 310 watts from the wall with turbo boost off. I'll replace it when you can actually buy hardware sometime in the future.
