This app deploys a Python runtime environment based on the Conda python distribution. * 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 * how will it be used? If all works well, we'll be able to quickly test and deploy whole new applications, including replacements for the quantum chemistry and CPU MD applications we have previously experimented with. Being able to rapidly deploy new applications will markedly improve the rate at which our research group can innovate. For the moment the app is Linux only but we hope to roll it out to Windows once it proves reliable. Matt ID: 44343 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

Both Betas went to the same user. That's quite a finite testing methodology. Might take a while to get round everyone though...

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.

Conda ships it's own python so that we can be consistent and not use the one the user/OS has installed which might be different versions / broken etc. ID: 44558 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

Because there were some WUs and test with them have been done. Apparently no further tests are needed at the moment, otherwise there'd be new WUs.

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. ID: 44668 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote
