This Week in MLC@Home
Notes for Nov 30 2020
A weekly summary of news and notes for MLC@Home

Summary
Only a short update this week, as we've been running analysis on the data collected so far in preparation for a paper, and it was a holiday weekend in our part of the world. The new Linux/CUDA client appears to be working well, so we can stop spamming the news feed with updated each week. More information in the news below.

News:

• More details on the updated Linux GPU support, both CUDA and ROCm, and it is here, including a recent discussion on disk usage of the new client: https://www.mlcathome.org/mlcathome/forum_thread.php?id=127.
  
• DS1 and DS2 continue towards completion. We've modified some of the WUs to expire early if they don't appear to be converging, in the hopes of nudging our searches down more likely-to-converge-soon paths. EightBitModified is only a few thousand away from completion!
  
• DS3 progress is approaching milestone 2, 1000x100.. 100000 DS3 networks trained. That will definitely help with our ongoing analysis. It's nice to see the scoreboard at the bottom of https://www.mlcathome.org/ turning from yellow to green!
  
• Analyzing the DS3 data so far, we've discovered the dataset itself is very large (approx 100GB for just 500x100). This is slowing down analysis somewhat, but a good problem to have. We can trim that down significantly in a release, but sometimes dealing with that much data just takes time.
  
• We've created the DS1-100, DS1-500, DS1-1000, DS2-100, DS3-100, DS3-500 datasets internally, and are cleaning them up and analyzing the results. We hope to have some (preliminary) results to share with the community, like we published before, within days.
