AQUA's multi-threaded applications and BOINC
05-June-2009
Like using CUDA cards, multi-threading is a way for us to shorten the run time of our work units. Multi-threaded applications are new to BOINC, so you will see behaviour such as one application using all the cores in the computer. Please allow such work units to continue running. BOINC makes sure that all projects you are subscribed to will receive a fair share of your computing resources. We need your help in getting this research done. Thank you for your support!
AQUA's application supports Multi-Processors on Windows, Linux, and Mac
04-June-2009
Up to now AQUA used to employ a single core to process its data. Starting with version 2.18, AQUA's appication uses multi-threading to use multiple cores and speed up its computation. 32-bit and 64-bit Windows, Linux, and Mac platforms are supported. AQUA's application uses OpenMP to create and manage its threads. So now AQUA uses either CUDA or OpenMP (but not both at the same time) to decrease its execution time.
CUDA-enabled version of AQUA's application for Linux is available
02-June-2009
Linux users with NVidia CUDA cards can now use their GPUs to run AQUA's application.
Testing of a CUDA-enabled version of AQUA's application has started
25-May-2009
The AQUA@home project needs enourmous computing resources, so we have been working on using NVidia GPUs to reduce the running time of our application. We are happy to announce that version 3.00 of AQUA's application, supporting NVidia CUDA cards under Microsoft Windows, is now available for testing. Linux and Mac versions will follow in the next few weeks. We hope to gradually increase the performance of this version.
64-bit Intel-based Macs are now supported
19-March-2009
AQUA@home's application is now available for 64-bit Intel-based Macs. Mac users with the appropriate hardware can now fully benefit from their computers.
