TINKER question

Post by Tobit »

Looking at psummary, I see there is still a fair amount of TINKER core work out there to be done. Now, IIRC, TINKER was one of the initial GPU cores. What would I need for hardware and a client to have a chance at getting assigned some of these to help Vvoelz out or should I just not worry about it?

IIRC, the psummary page core field defaults to Tinker. If the researcher fails to enter the core in posting the WU to psummary (or however it's actually done) the field will default to Tinker. Looking at psummary, all the "Tinker" WUs I could find are duplicate entries of GROGPU2 WUs.

TINKER is also the default value displayed when the psummary has troubles recognizing the core ...

In the current example, if you look carefully, it's a bug : each TINKER entry is in fact a duplicate entry of another project (with correct name displayed) :(

As has been already said, TINKER is just what that page defaults to. TINKER is in fact the name of the project's very first CPU client core, before it was replaced by the multitude of Gromacs cores.
