Milkyway@home - New Poll Regarding GPU Application of N-Body
- Détails
We are currently looking at making a GPU version of N-Body. This code has been under development for quite some time, and the base code is finally working, though we would still need to implement some other features to run it alongside the CPU version. However, due to the complexity of our code and our need for double precision, the GPU version has a similar runtime to that of the CPU version, though there may be some speed-up on professional grade GPU cards. For reference, the GPU version of the Separation code is roughly 50-60 times faster than its CPU counterpart depending on the machine. Keeping that in mind, do you guys still want a GPU version of N-Body? I have put up a basic straw poll on https://www.strawpoll.me/45510486. If you wish to elaborate on your choice, please feel free to comment below.
Thank you all for your input, time, and consideration,
-Eric

Milkyway@home - Separation Validator Updates/Brief Server Outage(s)
- Détails
I will be updating the separation validator starting at 3PM ET. The server will go down for a short time and then come back up. In the case that the new validator causes problems, the server will go back down again to revert to the old validator. I will be monitoring the situation and would appreciate input on any workunits that fail validation after the new validator goes live.
The server may go down/back up a few times during this process. Thanks for your patience. I'll keep you all posted on the status of things as they happen.
Best,
Tom

Milkyway@home - New NBody Runs!
- Détails
The last set of N-body runs has converged beautifully. Thus, we have replaced the old runs with a set of new ones:
-de_nbody_06_16_2021_v176_40k__data__4
-de_nbody_06_16_2021_v176_40k__data__5
-de_nbody_06_16_2021_v176_40k__data__6
Since the last set ran without problems, we expect this one to run smoothly, too. Thank you all for your continued support.
