Notes for Nov 9 2020
A weekly summary of news and notes for MLC@Home

Summary
GPU week(s), part 3. We took some time off this past week to focus on things other than academics, but still managed to get an updated Linux/CUDA client out that now works on at least some systems. Attempting to make a single application that runs on multiple OS, drivers, and CUDA versions is proving to be difficult. This is also a strange case where the Linux app is proving more difficult than Windows... 2020 is a really weird timeline.

News:

• You can follow GPU client progress on several forum threads like this one: https://www.mlcathome.org/mlcathome/forum_thread.php?id=111
  
• We've set up a BOINC AppPlan to filter clients who can receive the cuda client to those that will work. You will need CUDA driver version 440 or higher, Windows 10 or LInux w/ GLIBC 2.27 or higher, and an nvidia card with compute capability 3.5 or greater.
  
• We expect to have most CUDA issues ironed out and have them in general (non-beta) use by lastnextthis coming week. ROCm support would be next, but it is a lower priority.
  
• Datasets 1,2 and 3 continue crunching away. GREAT progress so far!
  
• GPU debugging continues to take too much time, we look forward to getting them released so we can focus on the science.
