A weekly summary of news and notes for MLC@Home
Summary A quick summary this week, as it was a quiet week on the forums and busy week outside of the project. Hey, sometimes life happens. See below for GPU support updates, Paper updates, Dataset 4, and OSX support.
News:
- We've completed the first Dataset 3 milestone! Well done all our volunteers! The next steps are to package it up, and write up a brief analysis/paper to submit to arXiv and release the dataset to the public! Milestone 2 (1000x100) work underway!
We spent some time last week gaining access to both Windows and Linux machines with CUDA, so hoepfully GPU clients should be released to testing this week. We're having some issues packaging the ROCm version but will try to iron those out into testing as well.
We also secured access on an OSX machine, and have run the client on OSX! However, packaging on OSX faces another set of similar challenges to ROCM packaging up the libraries with the
Dataset 4 preparations continues. We have the data, just need some backend updates to updates to handle the new type or networks (classification vs. regression).
No changes to Dataset 1+2 yet, there are some updated Partiy and EightBit WUs in testing, but we have not processed those results yet to make certain they're set for full release.
