Re: [gmx-users] Xeon Gold + RTX 5000

Alex,
The motherboard I am using with the 9900K is the ASUS WS Z390 PRO.  The PRO 
version has the extra PCIe controller.  I am using two RTX 1070ti GPUs, and I 
can hear everyone snorting with derision, but with this configuration I get 
performance with 100,000 atoms of about 72 ns/day with 2019.1 which is adequate 
for my needs.  I’ll upgrade to the 2080ti when the price drops to <$1000. 
Another tip is to get the highest speed memory that the motherboard will 
handle.  It doesn’t make a huge difference, maybe 2-3% over the cheapest memory 
but it is something that is easy and low cost to do.

Mike

Michael, would you be able to suggest a specific motherboard that
removes the bottleneck? We aren't really limited by price in this case
and would prefer to get every bit of benefit out of the processing

Re: [gmx-users] Xeon Gold + RTX 5000

2019-07-17 Thread Moir, Michael (MMoir)
This is not quite true.  I certainly observed this degradation in performance 
using the 9900K with two GPUs as Szilárd states using a motherboard with one 
PCIe controller, but the limitation is from the motherboard not from the CPU.  
It is possible to obtain a motherboard that contains two PCIe controllers which 
overcomes this obstacle for not a whole lot more money.

Hi Alex,

I've not had a chance to test the new 3rd gen Ryzen CPUs, but all
public benchmarks out there point to the fact that they are a major
improvement over the previous generation Ryzen -- which were already
quite competitive for GPU-accelerated GROMACS runs compared to Intel,
especially in perf/price.

One caveat for dual-GPU setups on the i9 9900 or the Ryzen 3900X is
that they don't have enough PCI lanes for peak CPU-GPU transfer (x8
for both of the GPUs) which will lead to a slightly less performance
(I'd estimate <5-10%) in particular compared to i) having a single GPU
plugged in into the machine ii) compare to CPUs like Threadripper or
the i9 79xx series processors which have more PCIe lanes.

However, if throughput is the goal, the ideal use-case especially for
small simulation systems like <=50k atoms is to run e.g. 2 runs / GPU,
hence 4 runs on a 2-GPU system case in which the impact of the
aforementioned limitation will be further decreased.

I'm investigating that myself.  If your motherboard splits the bandwidth

[gmx-users] Clustsize and -mol option

2019-01-22 Thread Moir, Michael (MMoir)
Although I have successfully used clustsize for identifying clusters of atoms, 
I am stymied by the -mol option for evaluating clusters of  molecules.  A 
command such as:

gmx clustsize -s system1.tpr -f system1.xtc -nc -n index.ndx

Works fine for obtaining information about clusters of atoms, but:

gmx clustsize -s system1.tpr -f system1.xtc -nc -n index.ndx -mol

gives a fatal error in Source file: src/gromacs/fileio/matio.cpp (line 681)

My index file consists of the list of atoms under headings like [HP6].

Any thoughts?
