[Pw_forum] GPU-accelerated PWscf Test Drive (provided by NVIDIA and partners) opens today

[Filippo Spiga]

Dear Quantum ESPRESSO users and developers,

following my previous email, here the link where you can access the test drive: http://www.nvidia.com/object/gpu-test-drive.html?cid=gputestdrive

Enjoy.

NVIDIA along with Amazon and 21 other providers is offering FREE and exclusive test-drive to experience running your computational chemistry simulations faster with GPUs in dedicated small HPC systems and/or in cloud environments.  The latest GPU-accelerated applications are pre-loaded so you don’t need setup any hardware or software. Simply log on and run apps as usual, NO GPU PROGRAMMING EXPERIENCE IS REQUIRED. NVIDIA (and eventually me if necessary) will provide support do get you in and run.

NVIDIA is going to work with its commercial partners in order to have always available the latest version of the GPU code. The service will provide the environment for both serial and parallel calculations (in this case, up to 4 nodes dual-socket and 8 GPUs in total).
