We have uploaded the newest application to replace the old application. So now we have:
acemd 6.72 newest app WIN (cuda2.2 and cuda3)
acemd2 6.03 production application WIN/LINUX (cuda2.2)
acemdbeta newest app (cuda2.2 and cuda3) WIN (not used now)

Linux cuda3 coming soon (Monday).

Any changes important for us in 6.72?

Can these app also been used for fermi-cards?

and how do the versions map to our preference options?

ACEMD
ACEMD ver 2.0
ACEMD beta

Any changes important for us in 6.72?

MrS

6.72 is 30% faster on 1.2 compute capability cards.
Also if the there is not enough GPU RAM it should not request the memory but same speed as before.

Can these app also been used for fermi-cards?

All the cuda30 should work on Fermi cards, but in practice we saw that they don't.
We will check why as soon as we receive the first Fermi card.

I getting a message that there is no workunit for this app.

It's possible. We have so many on the production application, that for now we can't create more.

Finally got one of the 6.71 WUs http://www.gpugrid.net/result.php?resultid=2180296, ran about 22% slower than 6.03 WUs on this machine as feedback, thanks,

Is any app based on 6.22 beta?

Which one amongst apps is shorter for WIN?

Indeed, we are looking at 6.72 here.

haha..woops didn't realize the 2 vs 1, blame it on being tired I guess.

did the linux app come out today as planned?

no,
we are waiting for the Fermi card at this point.

How much GPU RAM does it need?

I am submitting internal tests and production WUs to new ACEMD 6.72 app.
They are *_long_100420*. As already explained in other threads, they are of the *long* batch that is twice as long as usual.

Regarding performance, do you see improvements over previous *long* running on acemd2 6.03?

Can you just clarify which cards should crunch these 6.72 application dependant tasks?

I am thinking,
CC1.1 cards that fail ACEMD Ver. 2 tasks,
possibly CC1.2 cards but I still think ACEMD Ver. 2 would be faster,
and possibly Fermi cards (better chance of working and perhaps aiding development)

Not CC1.3 cards or CC1.1 cards that always succeed with ACEMD Ver 2. tasks.

Thanks,

This application will become the new production application if it passes the test.
So everyone who is running now can run these ones.
For Fermi we are waiting for the delivery of the first cards.

gdf

OK everybody will be able to run 6.72 tasks, but should they?

Is the 6.72 application replacing the ACEMD (Ver 1 app)?
Is it replacing 6.03?

Will 6.72 be as fast as ACEMD Ver 2 for all cards?
Will a GTX275, for example, work as fast on 6.72 as on 6.03?

Thanks,
