Unified GPU/SMP benchmarking scheme: equal points for equal work

The current benchmarking calculations for SMP and GPU projects are performed on different machines since originally the SMP cores could not perform the calculations that the GPUs cores could and vice versa (GPUs were only for implicit solvent calculations and SMP only for explicit solvent calculations). With recent advances in both cores and completion of our testing of these capabilities to ensure agreement, we are now confident we can do the same work on both cores. Thus, we feel that it is time to unify GPU and SMP benchmarking, both for simplicity and fairness.

In order to complete the move towards this plan of "equal points for equal work," new GPU projects will be benchmarked using the existing SMP benchmarking scheme. Based on our internal tests, the end effect of this new, unified benchmarking scheme would boost the points for the GPU projects, both in terms of base points but also by bringing Quick Return Bonuses to GPU clients. In order to test the new scheme, we have started a GPU3 project (Project ID: 8057) and released it for beta testing. Once the benchmarking scheme has been tested, all the current GPU projects will be re-benchmarked to reflect the changes in the benchmarking scheme.

Life with Playstation ending, FAH team continuing to look to push the envelope

For several years, we have worked closely with Sony to bring Folding@home to the PS3. We're excited about what we've been able to do. Since the PS3 started folding in 2007, we've done some really amazing things, with several announcements this year acknowledging advancements in Alzheimer's Disease, Cancer (and this link), Influenza, Type II Diabetes, and other new drug targets. We've come a long way in the last 5 years and we have a lot going on to continue our tradition of pushing the envelope into new technologies.

more info from fold@evga forum

Another thing that came out yesterday that was not as widely noticed. There has not been a post by PG at this time.

http://blog.us.playstation.com/2012/10/21/ps3-system-software-update-v4-30/

PS3 System Software Update (v4.30)
+ Posted by Eric Lempel // VP, Sony Network Entertainment

Next Tuesday, October 23rd, we will be releasing a new system software update for PlayStation 3 (version 4.30). With this update we have made several changes to how Trophies are displayed on your PlayStation 3. The Trophy Collection will now reside under PlayStation Network on the XMB. Trophies that you have earned playing PlayStation Vita games are now displayed on your PlayStation 3. You will also be able to see your Trophy level and progress towards the next level while viewing your trophy collection.

By the beginning of November 2012, we will retire the services available through the Life with PlayStation application. In conjunction with its retirement, we will stop offering the Life with PlayStation application to new users with the 4.30 update. This includes the conclusion of our participation with Stanford University’s Folding@home, a distributed computing project aimed at understanding protein folding, misfolding and studying the causes of a variety of diseases such as Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s as well as various cancers.

We’d like to thank the more than 15 million users that have participated in the program since it started on PS3 in 2007. PS3 users have donated in total more than 100 million computation hours to the Folding@home project to date, and as a result, contributing greatly to Stanford University’s Alzheimer ’s disease research. Considering the contribution PS3 has made to the project, we decided to retire it as a result of discussions with Stanford University.
Vijay Pande, Folding@home research lead at Stanford University, had this to say about your contributions:

“The PS3 system was a game changer for Folding@home, as it opened the door for new methods and new processors, eventually also leading to the use of GPUs. We have had numerous successes in recent years. Specifically, in a paper just published in the Journal of Medicinal Chemistry, we report on tests of predictions from earlier Folding@home simulations, and how these predictions have led to a new strategy to fight Alzheimer’s disease. The next steps, now underway at Stanford, are to take this lead compound and help push it towards a viable drug. It’s too early to report on our preliminary results there, but I’m very excited that the directions set out in this paper do appear to be bearing fruit in terms of a viable drug (not just a drug candidate).”

Why the vague wordings?
Does that mean there won't be WUs for PS3 anymore or...?
There's nearly zero correlation between the article's subject and content.

Holy-...didn't realize 'Life with Playstation' was a phrase of its own.
Both translated to the same conclusion of no more folding with PS3, but differed in who severed the relationship first.

Any reason why PG has to rely on 'Life with Playstation' for folding in PS3?

Real life is keeping me very busy :bang:

Unfortunately, I can't add much to what has already been posted by Sony and by Dr.Vijay.

All I can hope is that there is F@H in the next version of the Play Station (This is not any inside information or any fact or anything, just my opinion)

The Folding@home article on Wikipedia is now a Featured Article

Here's a guest post from Jesse Victors, one of the volunteers helping with Folding@home documentation.

I am pleased to announce that the Folding@home article on Wikipedia is now a Featured Article. Following a peer review and a thorough month-long discussion, other editors agreed that it met the Featured Article criteria. This means that it's encyclopedic, well written, comprehensive, well researched, neutral, stable, and uses summary style. If you are new to the Folding@home project, or would like to learn more, I would highly recommend that you read this article. There are plenty of details on all aspects of Folding@home, but I tried to avoid technical language so it should be understandable by almost anyone. I've also summarized many of publications from FAH (see the Papers page) as well as other scientific literature, which can be helpful if you're curious about how this project works or what it has accomplished so far. The article is currently scheduled to appear on Wikipedia's Main Page as a Featured Article of the Day on November 1st, so keep an eye out for that!

Version 7.2.9 of the Folding@home software is now available

We are happy to announce that version 7.2.9 of the Folding@home software is now available at folding.stanford.edu. The ultimate goal of Folding@home has always been to support disease research but we've also understood that one of the best ways to do this is to make folding fun and easy. This is why we continual push to make the Folding@home software easier to install and use while still adding advanced features for power users optimizing their machines for maximum points. This software release makes strides forward on all fronts.

One of the more visually interesting and fun features is our much improved 3D viewer. It is now able to display proteins from many more folding projects, works on more graphics cards and uses less CPU time. This code is also being used as the basis for the upcoming screensaver which is currently in testing.

Those with the latest and greatest hardware will be glad to know that this version supports automatic updating of the GPU white-list. In practical terms, this means Folding@home will be able to support new graphics hardware more quickly, as it becomes available and with out requiring new software. We will publish a new GPU white-list periodically and the client will automatically update its list of supported GPUs on startup.

We are also proud to announce that we recently hired OSX guru Kevin Bernhagen. He has been working hard to bring the OSX release up to our standards. With the v7.2.9 release we are taking the v7 software for OSX out of beta for the first time. There is still much work to do but this release should offer many improvements over the v6 beta that was previously the recommend release for OSX and should integrate better with the OSX environment better than the previous beta software.

Many other improvements have been made. The folding forum thread titled FAHClient V7.2.9 (8th Open-Beta) lists the changes in more detail. While you're at it, join in the forum discussions and let us know if you run into problems, have a great idea or just what to tell us about the awesome new folding rig you've setup.

We are far from done improving Folding@home. Many new features are in the works including simpler installers, even better OSX support and easier more intuitive user interfaces. There are also some surprises on the drawing board which we are very excited about but not yet ready to announce. So stay tuned and thank you for continuing to help support disease research at Stanford and universities all over the world.

Update on on-going software development in FAH

We have several on-going software development efforts and I'd like to give donors an update.

v7 client. Joe Coffland and his team have been working hard on new client releases. 7.2.9 has just been released and a new version will be undergoing beta testing soon. Moreover, we are continuing work on improving the v7 client for windows and squashing the remaining bugs. Moreover, there's additional effort in OSX due to the hiring of a programmer (Kevin Bernhagen) just for the OSX client, as well as additional work for smoother OSX and linux installs.

Gromacs core. The Gromacs core team (Prof. Michael Shirts and Prof. Peter Kasson and their labs, at the University of Virginia) are working on the new cores based on the new version of gromacs (4.6).

New OpenMM core. The OpenMM team at Stanford (Dr. Peter Eastman and Yutong Zhao) are working on speed improvements for OpenMM (the basis of the FAH GPU core) in general, but in particular optimizations for Kepler and AMD (in coordination with engineers at NVIDIA and AMD, respectively). Yutong has a new FAH GPU core working in the lab and we are doing internal testing on it. Since openMM is full open source, you can see more details, including a commit and change log, at the openMM web site (https://simtk.org/home/openmm).

New FAH viral ad campaign. We're also working on a new landing page for FAH and a new video to advertise FAH. This new web/video campaign is coordinated with new client/installer changes to make FAH easier to install and run, especially for those new to Folding@home.

We understand that donors don't get to see all of what's going behind the scenes, so we'll try to post these sorts of updates more frequently.

Planned server room maintenance: Saturday, November 10th, from 5AM to 8AM

One of our key server rooms will undergo network maintenance on Saturday, November 10th, from 5AM to 8AM pacific time. During the maintenance window, we expect that the servers in that room will be unreachable, hopefully for only 30 minutes each, but potentially for the full time range. We note that this is only one of our server rooms, so the FAH backend should still be primarily operational, but some donors will see some issues with returning work during this time. We also stress that the FAH server backend is architected such that even when servers are down, the points for donors will not be lost, and just the accounting for those points will be delayed until the servers are back up.

just a clean install from nvidia. it's a direct x problem more than the driver, so i'll work on that later tonight.
driver sweeper didn't help, i guess i'll just make sure all the cards are seated, and then probably shed a tear or two.
