Fold for Team 34106!

Heres some stats for you number lovers

According to the monthly chart, during December of '08 we were pumping out 150,000 points every 24 HR's and now were down to the lower 30,000's. What's that? And whats really sad is I'm 2nd place in terms of 24 HR Point Production. Are all you going to be beat out by a GTX 285 and a 9800GTX?

HD 4870 had 1200 TFlops of Single precision power, and 240GFlops of Double Precision power, and this by far much lower than - the supposed to be more powerfull - GTX 280 which tops the SP performance at 933GFlops and the DP performance at much lower 78GFlops, even the flagship GTX 285 doesn't touch the HD performance in both not to mention the performance of the faster HD 4890 ( the GTX 285 has 1066/89 in SP/DP performance while RV790 (HD 4890) has 1360/272GFlops of power for SP/DP )

the fact that HD 4890 ( RV790 ) isn't that different from HD 4870 ( RV770 ) it's basically just a 100MHz faster ( 750MHz for RV770 vs. 850MHz for RV790 ).. and this is where's the extra 160/32GFlops in SP/DP comes from...

we know that the GPU folding team is working very hard, but there's three teams already

the main GPU team that develops the main core of GPU folding
the nV team that develops the core of CUDA use for GPU2 client
the ATi team that develops the core of Stream use for GPU2 client

the nV team is working much much better than ATi team, I donno if this coz nVIDIA support them but resources and/or $$ or coz they love what are they doing or coz they're very good in what are they doing !!
the ATi team in another hand is known to have less resources and maybe less $$$, I know both teams are working for charity and both ATi and nVIDIA doesn't have to pay them, but paying will let them work harder too...

the ATi team has gone very good work, but it's still not enough, we don't know why is it coz working for Stream is much harder than working for CUDA ( for example there's have been some info's about changes between HD 2000 and HD 3000 and HD 4000 )... or coz the number of developers in ATi team is much lower than those in nV team...

or it maybe that AMD doesn't give them much resources and/or $$$...

for what ever reason, Radeon HD's are much slower than GeForec 8/9/200, for example a GTX 260 can be as twice as fast as HD 4870 !!

archi. RV790 didn't come with any changes compared to RV770 so the only different we can expect comes fromt he 100MHz increase in clock.. and that's it, nothing more

but RV870 comes with more than a bump in shaders.
at 850MHz it's same as RV790 in terms of clock, but with the double amount of shaders ( 1600 for RV870 vs. 800 for RV790 ) we can expect at least twice performance as RV790, so will this make RV870 faster than GTX 260 ?
we don't know as personally I didn't saw any Folding performance for HD 5000, even from some review sites that used to have such testing for every new GPU ( techPowerUp.com for example )...

but is doubling is all what we get ? this is not enough as doubling mean that HD 5870 will have a little bit more than GTX 260, not to mention the GTX 260 Core 216 version which isnearly 12.5% faster !

according to review sites, RV870 isn't just double the RV790 with DX11; The shaders has been improved too...

the basic shaders in RV790 are 800 shaders, but those are not the same...

the 800 shaders are grouped in units called SIMD processors, each had 80 shaders...

these shaders too are not the same, they're grouped in a group of 5 shaders, 4 basic shaders, and one special function shader...

the fifth one is cabable of doing SP+DP computing, but the rest are not, the 4 shaders are very basic, they can do some MAD computing, but the rest is all in the fifth 'Special Function' Shader...

I don't know what exactly special function can do, but this is the reason for the ratio between SPP power of RV790, its 5:1... and this is why the ratio for all RV7xx power is the same, always 5:1 ( 1200:240 for example in RV770 )...

the story doesn't change in RV870, the ratio is still the same : 5:1 this is from calculating the GFlops power from official AMD slides 2720/544GFlops in SP/DP...

but from slides too, shaders are not the same, they have been improved and the basic shaders in RV870 can do more than what basic shader in RV770 can do, still not be able to do DP as it's still only for the fifth 'Special Function' Shader... but they can do more.. not more than basic MAD/MUL or ADD but it's a little bit different...

every shader can do 1 32bit FP MAD per clock, so the whole group of five can do 5x 32bit FP MAD per clock... ( 4 for basic shaders and 1 for the spcial function shader )
using 2 shaders will make it possible to do 1 64bit MUL or ADD per clock, so 2 64bit MUL or ADD can be made in the 4 basic shaders.

and using 4 shaders will make it possible to do 1 64bit MAD per clock

or we can use the 4 shaders to have 4 24bit Int MUL or ADD per clock...

I don't know the details about RV790, and by the way I'm not a programmer so excuse me with this description this is why putting the slide is better


I know that the 24bit part wasn't in RV700, it's new here in RV800...

and I don't know what calculation and power folding needs from these...

the only thing I know is that Folding performance with HD 5000 can be easly the same with HD 4000 in the begining tduo to the fact the core may not recognise the extra power... but I suspect it will so it will be higher and closer to 2x...

but I think we may see another extra juice after optimizing the core for HD 5000.. but when ? I don't know as AFAIK the ATi team didn't even optimize the core for HD 4000 series !!]]> http://forums.amd.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=19&threadid=112712 2009-05-01T12:22:39 -05.00 unorthodoxneon 4 http://forums.amd.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=19&threadid=111685 2009-04-09T14:33:02 -05.00 cvsi3 3 Just thought it looked Awesome and would share it with everyone.

Distributed Computing involves using computers from around the world to run calculations, simulations etc. Projects such as Seti, Folding, and others use spare computer cycles to run calculations and simulations to further their knowledge and research. Users can help by installing a program onto their computer that will download data and then use spare cpu cycles to run the calculations. The results are then fed back up to the computers at the main project site. Researchers can then use the results to further their knowledge.

There are many projects that utilize this technique, a few of which are described below.

Folding

Folding@Home is a distributed computing project which studies protein folding, misfolding, aggregation, and related diseases. Folding@Home uses novel computational methods and large scale distributed computing, to simulate timescales thousands to millions of times longer than previously achieved. This has allows Folding@Home to simulate folding for the first time, and to now direct their approach to examine folding related disease.

SETI

SETI@home is a scientific experiment that uses Internet-connected computers in the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI). SETI@home is a free program that downloads and analyzes radio telescope data.
http://setiathome.ssl.berkeley.edu/



Genome

Genome@home uses a computer algorithm (SPA), based on the physical and biochemical rules by which genes and proteins behave, to design new proteins (and hence new genes) that have not been found in nature. By comparing these "virtual genomes" to those found in nature, we can gain a much better understanding of how natural genomes have evolved and how natural genes and proteins work.

Background: I was going to build my brother a gaming system from spare parts, but we ended up finding something better for him on Craigslist. Anyway, I took the spare parts and put together a good system based around a 3700+ San Diego A64, but it only has 512MB DDR266 RAM, because that's all I had, and it's undoubtedly slowing down it's folding. HENCE THE SIG!

So I got that folding, and started looking around at the other systems I just have sitting here doing nothing at all. However, I remember trying folding with Pentium2 systems awhile ago, and remember thinking it just wasn't worth the power it took. Here are the systems in question, they are all complete but I'll just list the main parts:

AXP 1700+ Thoroughbred(which I can run at 2000+ speeds)
768MB PC133(probably the most limiting factor)

and

Athlon Thunderbird 1100MHz
(this RAM went into the A64)

and

P4 2Ghz Willamette 400MHz FSB
(this RAM went into the A64)


Ok, that's it. I feel like the smartest thing to do would be to take the AXP out of it's board, stick it in the Thunderbird board, and then run DDR RAM with it. But as is, how do these systems look for folding older units? They are still in need of people to accept Tinkers right? Haha. And I'll be trying to score cheap RAM on Craigslist and ebay for these systems and for the A64.

OTHERWISE: I have the following PC's folding:
Opteron 165--two cores going
2.2GHz 3700+(mentioned)--one core going
2.8GHz Prescott--two cores going
2.4GHz Northwood--one core going

to get the new core:

1. stop the client.
2. delete fahcore_11
3. restart the client to dl the new core automatically.

my 8800gt's went from 5000ppd to 5500ppd.
my 9600gso went from 4400ppd to 4800ppd.

not: the new core utilizes the gpu better, so if you are at near max stable oc with the old core, then it may be unstable with the new core. if it is, back off a notch on your oc.

I've been running this client for a couple weeks in the beta team and it does handle eue's much better. when the client eue's, it sends partial results, then picks up a new wu. no more churning the same old bad wu 3 times in a row like 6.22 did. I definitely rec upgrading to 6.23 if you run smp... it doesn't fix the eue problems we're having with 2665's, but it does improve how the client handles them..

I have had one bug. it sometimes hangs at "finished unit". the only way to get it to send is to stop the client, kill all the fahcore_a1 processes, run qfix, and restart the client. it will go missing work files, but then send the 100% that hung as a 100% credit wu for points and pick up a new wu. that has only happened about 5 times in the past 2 weeks out of 7 smp clients going 24/7 for me. (Vista64 mpich 6.23)

other than that this edition is better than any of the 6.22 releases imo, because it sends partial credit for eue wu's.. the 6.22's one would reprocess the same eue'd wu 3 times before picking up a new wu, and then it wouldn't give credit unless you qfixed it during one of those 3 attempts.

the only time I have to babysit this one is for units that hang at "finished unit". and you see those right away in fahmon, since it hangs and turns red. the old 6.22 eue's we used to have to log search to find, because the client would always stay green in fahmon while it churned through a bad wu 3 times and wasted tons of cpu cycles.. this new 6.23 will send the eue as partial credit on the first eue, and pick up a new wu to work on with no intervention from the user. a definite improvement in the babysit nature of smp behavior.

Santa Clara (CA) - During Nvidia Editor's Day, we learned that Nvidia and the Folding@Home research group led by Vijay Pande are making final preparation to launch the first version of the Folding@Home client for Nvidia graphics processors.

The unveiling of the client is set for the next week as part of the launch of Nvidia's GT200 GPU series. Owning such a card will have its benefits in Folding@Home and will outrun Radeon 3870 cards. The new GeForce cards are expected to hit more than 650 nanoseconds of protein simulation in a single day, while the Radeon HD 3870 is stuck at about 170 ns. The Playstation 3 is able to produce "only" 100 ns of simulation, while a quad-core CPU creates an output of just four nanoseconds. For those who are keeping count: The GeForce GPU will be about 163 times faster than a quad-core processor in this specific application.

Nvidia founded Team "Whoopass", which consists only of several computers that are running the Folding@Home GPU client. Even with just 4-5 test machines, the team quickly moved into the top 5% of all contributors by sheer processing power. Dr. Vijay told us that if only 1% of all CUDA-capable users would start using Folding@Home in their spare time, the Folding@Home machine would quickly be considered the fastest performing HPC computer in the whole world - hitting about 60-80 Peta FLOPS of processing power.

Folding@Home for Nvidia CUDA-capable graphics cards (GeForce 8 and above) should become available next week. The codename for this client is GPU2/NVIDIA. The GPU1 client was retired, while GPU2 client will continue to be updated for both Nvidia and ATI cards.

ATI was first with a client for the Folding@Home project, which was released back in September of 2006 for the X1900 series of cards. Back then, the cards topped out at 375 GFlops. The next GPU generation should provide more than double the horsepower.

to re-iterate:

For those who are keeping count: The GeForce GPU will be about 163 times faster than a quad-core processor in this specific application.

I have 2 single core computers that take a long time to finish a work unit. They average about 100 points per day each.

My dual core computers are getting kinda long in the tooth also. I'm thinking that maybe in a year or 2 they will not be able to meet their dead lines when running F@H. So, maybe an alternative might be a good idea.

Meanwhile I'm planning on getting 2 Phenon quad core computers for F@H but that may be 6 or 8 months from now.

I'd heard about this awhile ago...but haven't really been able to turn up anything lately. But I have three Pentium 2 based machines that all support the 450MHz CPU maximum. I was thinking of buying three of these from Ebay....they are dirt cheap. Maybe a little more RAM as well.

However, none of these computers really does anything useful folding by itself. It's more just a waste of power. However, I was thinking...what if I set up some sort of...server?

One of these PC's could be a server...receive the WU, send individual frames to each PC, receive the info back, send more, then the server PC would send the whole WU back to Stanford. I think Mime was actually doing something like this once upon a time...though I have no idea where to start.

The current folding setup I have going is this: On my Prescott powered rig, I set up one important core with a deadline to fold on the main CPU core, and then the virtual core that is created by the Pentium 4's Hyper Threading works on it's own share of tinkers. Now I was wondering which would be better, to keep the current setup, or to fold with the X1650Pro and dedicate the virtual core to that.

Now from what I understand, this would be pretty slow. Apparently GPU folding depends heavily on pixel pipelines, which is why the X1900 series was supported first: it has 48! The X1650Pro on the other hand...has a whopping...4. As far as I can tell anyway.

So would this even be worth it? I'm curious to try it out. Also, I guess as long as I set the priority low, that this wouldn't interfere with gaming? This computer is for my brothers to game on...and the CPU folding never got in the way of that.

Thanks!!

EDIT: Ok so I read that wrong...they don't depend on pixel pipelines...at least not directly. It's the pixel shaders, and the X1650Pro has 12 of those, and the X1900XT has 48.

IMO: I'd say it's about what I expected, though wish it could do better.
Quick test on 2350(B1)-2.0G, DDR2-667.
at 7% it shows the smp on a p2653 turning 14-15min frames...

really can't expect much from 2ghz since smp scales with mhz..

my x2 6000 turns 18min frames @ 3.2ghz
and the Q6600 turns 8min rames @ 3.4ghz.

I guess we'll have to wait and see what the phenom can do oc wise, then we'll see better numbers. I don't think it's going to compete though against a Q9450 w/12mb cache or even an existing Q6600 with 8mb cache that are capable of good oc's. for example my q6600 is native 2.4ghz, but easily oc's 1ghz (42%) with just 3 changes in bios. which makes it an excellent smp producer (mhz+cache).]]> http://forums.amd.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=19&threadid=89004 2007-10-26T10:24:53 -05.00 TLH 10
