[Pw_forum] QE-GPU-5.0.2 (build1) is ready for download

[Filippo Spiga]

Dear Li,

part of ph.x can exploit some acceleration that comes from linear algebra but not as much as pw.x. If the work scheduled is going to continue as expected we will be able to deliver a first version of ph.x properly accelerated in one month/one month and half. I remember I said something like the end of this year, it is still likely possible. Stay tuned.

Cheers,
Filippo

Then you have to download the file "QE-GPU-5.0.2-build1.tar.gz" and place it in the root/main directory of your QE installation (the same directory from which you usually run the configure). At this point, by untarring QE-GPU-5.0.2-build1.tar.gz, a directory called "GPU" will appear. Next steps are quite easy:

> $ cd ..
> $ make -f Makefile.gpu pw-gpu
> 
> All the executables will appear under "bin/". By run "make -f Makefile.gpu" you will see what packages can exploit entirely or partially some GPU acceleration. Remember that PWscf (and so NEB) are the two code with the large amount of walltime ported to GPU. Here the link for the direct download: http://qe-forge.org/gf/project/q-e-gpu/frs/?action=FrsReleaseView&release_id=126
