This Week in MLC@Home Notes for Feb 1 2021 A weekly summary of news and notes for MLC@Home Summary Paper coming together. The first round of datasets are cut and I will release them by the end of this week. Only issue is their size. I will likely make the full, larger datasets available as a torrent. Stay tuned for some new results and the big dataset release this week. The paper will follow shortly afterwards. Detailed News

his means we'll start mixing in other types of WUs than just DS2 WUs into the GPU queue again, balancing between the remaining DS1/DS2 and DS3 WUs. When DS4 is ready, we'll rebalance again. Is there a "minimum" gpu for this project? I have an entry level RX 550x and i don't know if it is usable... |

GPUs need 2GB ram min. RX550 is the minimum AMD GPU that will be supported, as I think the RX540 is not POLARIS-based (gfx803 in AMD nomeclature). POLARIS needs an updated client compiled against a later version of rocm (rocm 3.8 has a bug that keeps it from running on POLARIS). It's on the todo list but not ready yet. For now, the only AMD GPUs supported are VEGA-based (gfx900/906/908, not gfx902 APUs) and must be running Linux. Last night I just got pytorch working with rocm4., so that should be easier in the future. There's *some* support for NAVI in rocm, but its untested. Note AMD APUs are not supported by rocm, and thus aren't supported by pytorch. Yes that's sad. On the CUDA side, you need 2GB ram and compute capability 3.5 or higher. That's,... most GTX 700 series and up I think? |
