Hello GPUGRID!
We are deploying a new app "PYSCFbeta: Quantum chemistry calculations on GPU". It is currently in testing/beta stage. It is only on Linux at the moment.
The app performs quantum chemistry calculations. At the moment we are using it specifically for Density Functional Theory calculations: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Density_functional_theory
These types of calculations allow us to accurately compute specific properties of small molecules.
The current test work units have a runtime of the order 1hr (very much dependent on the GPU speed and size of molecule). Each work unit currently contains 1 molecule with ~10 configurations.
The app will not work on GPUs with compute capability less than 6.0. It should not be sending them to these cards but I think at the moment this functionality is not working properly.
The work-units require a lot of GPU memory. It works best if the work-unit is the only thing running on the GPU. If other programs are using significant GPU memory the work-unit might fail.
Looking forward to hearing feedback from you.
Steve
