Abinit 6.10 - multiple GPU support? [solved]

Post by nandaloo » Mon Oct 31, 2011 8:43 am

Hi,

does ABINIT 6.10 support multiple GPU's?
I know that only some functionality utilises the GPU. My question really is if it can for that utilise more than one GPU at a time?

I had a look at the source code and would guess it cannot. However, I read about a ABINIT test system ("buda") with 4 GPU's, so I'm not sure...

Thank you

Philipp

GPU support is currently being substantially enhanced in the development version of Abinit. If you can wait for Abinit 6.12, you'll get multiple GPU support. This is just a matter of patience. Maybe for Christmas, who knows?
