I wouldn't say AMD's OpenCL is buggy. If anything, AMD is the only set of hardware that runs OpenCL efficiently well, while NVIDIA has sub par OpenCL support, with Intel even further behind.

El bumpo.
I am interested in supporting this project with OpenCL too, given the success of the HCC project I would really love to see this an other projects perhaps throw some significant resources towards it and make it a priority. I have three high powered double precision capable GPU's here I am looking for something within WCG to make use of them. As I am sure there would be any number of other people. |

A ‘CEP3’ will most likely be an evolution rather than a new ballgame. We will apply other methods which are already in the current code. The bottomline is: GPUs are great and we hope to be able to use them sooner rather than later. My guess is that implementing and then porting it to the grid may well take a year of work. That statement is now two years old. Any closer? |

No, because there's also a later statement by cleanenergy that no resources are available to do that development. (Advanced-Search for "GPU AND cleanenergy"
Current development is all going into a new Q-Chem engine being made ready for the grid. My guess is this one will take the IO issues on many have and why default is 1 per device. Secondly, this new one will have models that would not fit into any GPU. |

Secondly, this new one will have models that would not fit into any GPU. CEP2 seems to be about the only project that runs better under Windows than Linux. Do you think that would change for CEP3? I can go either way, and Linux might even be better at some of the other BOINC projects I do also, though it will be a little bit of a learning curve. |

FAMIG, the new engine is an upgrade as other science apps have had... no phase change, CEP3 or anything. And yes CEP2 runs much better, in fact, on my W7-64 with Intel Rapid Storage Technology [there's 2 drives in the system but they appear as 1... don't ask me how], getting >99% efficiency on these. Booting into Linux and 93-96% if lucky [and no IRST].
The rest, VINA does, HCC did, but not aware FAAH/HPF2/HFCC did on Linux any better, but do not recollect if 64 bit apps were released for this platform to serve the 'pure' devices, not HPF2 for sure. |
