Hi Paul,
I couldn't avoid to test this on my R2700X box which has a
GTX 1080 because this allows me to see the difference
to the GTX-1080 Ti. According to your md.log, the boxes
and the OS are very similar, I only had some problems first
to get the old villin benchmark to run with your mdp-file
(I added two chloride ions and changed the solvent to SPC/E
to the original configuration). BTW. you used a rather
large timestep in your test.
So, this would be your 1080 Ti results:
Number of GPUs detected: 1
#0: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti, compute cap.: 6.1, ECC: no, stat: comp
[ ... ]
starting mdrun [ ... ]
50000 steps, 210.0 ps.
Writing final coordinates.
Core t (s) Wall t (s) (%)
Time: 112.643 14.080 800.0
(ns/day) (hour/ns)
Performance: 1288.622 0.019
And this is the run on an almost identical system with
a GTX 1080 Ti (Palit Super-Jetstream):
Number of GPUs detected: 1
#0: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080, compute cap.: 6.1, ECC: no, stat: comp
[ ... ]
starting mdrun 'VILLIN in water'
50000 steps, 210.0 ps.
Writing final coordinates.
Core t (s) Wall t (s) (%)
Time: 147.840 18.480 800.0
(ns/day) (hour/ns)
Performance: 981.841 0.024
On the (small) villin benchmark, the 1080 Ti would be
about 13% faster than the GTX 1080. The raw SP float power
of the 1080 Ti is about 40% higher than the 1080 (11,340
GFLOPS vs 8,228 GFLOPS) which means a faster processor
could possibly help here.
BTW: I have a large membrane benchmark (DPPC/water, 1.2M atoms,
35x35x13A³ box) which runs at about 3 ns/d on the GTX 1080 with
Parrinello-Rahman semiisotropic coupling, if you'd like to torture
your box I can provide it ;)
Regards
M.
