That's really impressive. My 1080Ti maxes out at 1.5M ppd.

Thinkmate is selling V100 rackmount systems for purchase right now, including a 4U 2P 10 GPU variant. 17 million PPD out of a single box That's more than what most TEAMS make.

FAH should works but I'm getting some error if i add it in GPU list file manually.
I just want it to be officially supported asap.

You cannot add to GPUs.txt manually -- the server's copy must match.

Run fahclient --lspci or obtain the lspci identifiers elsewhere and post them here.

At the present time, FAH uses OpenCL, so you're going to be limited to what can be done with OpenCL. OpenMM is not written to support tensor math so performance is going to be reduced to whatever can be done with the CUDA cores. My guess is that FAH won't load up that many CUDA cores simultaneously, either.

What version of CUDA is installed and what version of OpenCL is supported?

Please describe your hardware.

@Luscious: Price for the rack with 10 nvidia Teslas: only $100000

I added 0x1db1 / GV100 [Tesla V100 SXM2] and 0x1db4 / GV100 [Tesla V100 PCIe] to the GPU.txt file ... let us know if something goes wrong ...

it's working now : )

Thank you guys,

Can you post some PPD numbers? I guess current work units are too small for Tesla so you may not get more than 1000k PPD currently

Burning off some AWS EC2 credit since its the end of the month, it would have expired otherwise . Right now AWS EC2 spots in USE1 are $7.80/hour, on-demand is normally $24.

Forgot to mention this is a single p3.16xlarge instance.

That's some folding power! Be sure to have enough CPUs left to feed the GPUs.
