When we are able to test the core 22 11501-11514 job on it?

Short answer: When/if the core is determined to be ready for a public test release.

Otherwise there has been no announcement about this core. What information is available is what you can see by looking at the Project Summary page and seeing the projects and related core usage field displayed there. You will also see that these WU's are set for zero points.

I'm hesitating between "When it's done ©" and "Soon ©" ...

Thanks for your interest! We're in the very early stages of building test builds for a new GPU core 22 based on OpenMM 7.0.1, but we don't yet have a timeline other than "soon!". There are a few technical and infrastructure hurdles to straighten out first.

Well 0x21 0.0.17 is still very good. Using over 95% GPU resources & at the same time more stable for overclock than 0x18.
Most folders I guess don't expect 0x22 or whatever the name is. It could possible outdate Fermis & even Keplers. Just my suggestions

An upgrade to OpenMM 7.0.1 will enable some scientific capabilities that FAH currently does not have plus fix some internal bugs. You're interested in three things: performance, stability, and which GPUs might be outdated. While bug fixes might improve any of those, the actual effect of improving scientific capabilities is not directly related to any of those things.

The most profound changes to performance, stability, and outdated GPUs belongs to the people who write the drivers, not to FAH.

Or "when the cows come home" or "when hell freezes over" or "when tRUMP increases funding for science."

No. I will be ready before that.

Thanks for your reply.
I hope the baby is progressing nicely.
Will it run CUDA on Nvidia cards?

Will also be interesting if CPU usage changes on CUDA GPU core or pcie bandwidth limits.

So nothing on this in almost a year? Any word on core 22?

No roadmap for new cores but I guess they wait for OpenMM 7.2 which has release candidate and for the next gen nvidia Ampere GPUs which will be released in Q2 2018.

So my guess Summer 2018 core_22 beta maybe unstable in the begin, Winter 2018 core_22 release.

OpenMM 7.2 preview build: What should go in it?

For those who are also gamers here is my translation: OpenMM is the "game engine" of FAH and the projects are the "game levels" and work units are the "saved games"

If you want a more accurate comparison with gaming world, OpenMM (and Gromacs) are game engines (like Unreal Engine or Frostbite Engine), and the projects are the games (Battlefield, Crysis, ...). Each trajectories (Run/Clone pairs) within a project are the game levels, and each Gen in a trajectory are auto saved progression in your game level.

And since I'm on fire with comparisons, here's an analogy with the fashionable cryptocurrencies : OpenMM and Gromacs are the hashing algorithms, the projects are the currencies, the trajectories are the wallets and the Gen are transactions.
