Looks like they are just testing, and have no work at the minute.

I expect they will attract many ATI card users when they are up and running. I think DD will be the first Biological research for ATI cards via Boinc.

yes, i'm sure it's running on the 2600 xt... it's my computer...

If you go here, https://simtk.org/project/xml/downloads.xml?group_id=161 it will redirect to amd gpu page, which has support for opencl only gor 4xxx and up.
On the 2600 card, is it going to take around 20h for the WU described?

I know, i'm not the developer, if he made it compatible with older cards, then so be it, progress.... you should be congratulating us instead of criticizing it... ati may only support 4300 and up but we know the true reason for that.... ( They want to MAKE MONEY ON THE CARDS!!!!!)

but the truth it is opencl is compatible with the 2600 xt, my card running it proves it...


We know that our research, will take sometime... that's why we've been wanting to go to gpu apps as they are much faster than the single cpu...

and well have cuda to go along with ati.

hello, me again!!!!

I have to admit... i was wrong... OpenCL will not run on a 2600 XT ati Card......

after going to pc wizard and looking PC activity and gpu temp. and Opencl line. i have come to the realization.

inserts foot into mouth and naws on foot.

I guess it was running on the CPU instead?

but on jack computer it runs on the ati card...

Sorry, I have no idea what you're talking about. I don't know who Jack is.

I just know you said you were 100% sure it worked and then said it didn't. So I assumed you actually saw the machine with the HD2600 running such a WU. Which would actually be quite possible, since openCL can in principle run on anything as long as there's a driver mediating between the hardware and openCL. The first devices on which openCL was run were CPUs.

That's why I could imagine you saw that WU running, but openCL had determined the CPU as the only appropriate computing device and was using that one instead of the HD2600.

yea you kinda got that right.... Jack is the Main admin on the DD@H and the Developer of Hydrogen....

I have accept Beta work and it comes no Work

I use 2 ATI 5870 with the newest Driver and the Stream SDK 2.2

There are no tasks for ATI cards, and as far as I am aware no immediate plans to use ATI cards.

We are waiting for SDK2.3.

If you have a new 5870 ATI GPUs please accept beta work from us, in the following days we will try to upload a new ATI application.

Hi,

I am still waiting. Can I hope to get the bata in this year?

woever

ATI's roadmap suggests they will release SDK2.3 this month.
Even if ATI are on target, I don't think the researchers will want to spend their holiday period debugging test apps. My guess is that it will be next year before any Beta's are released.

well....hmmm..it's out :)

well....hmmm..it's out :)

It's out?
developer.amd.com has still 2.2 ready for download.
Anyway, maybe we get a christmas present ...

SDK2.3 is in the new Driver Pack 10.12

Looks like 10.2 turned up yesterday (13th Dec).

The researchers may still want to wait until after the holiday period before beginning internal testing, and there is no guarantee they will be successful any time soon. They have to get it to work first and then optimize it to a reasonable level. I see little point in rushing an application into test release only to disappoint lots of ATI users, especially at this time of year.
If and when they are ready to go to Beta they will make the very welcome announcement.

No,
nothing until end of January but then we plan to release several things.
In the meanwhile, we can keep updating here on the performance.

Yeah SDK 2.3 has been released.

The new AMD cards seem much better for compute.
