Hi, In order to ease the maintenance of the native GPU/acceleration in GROMACS, we are removing support for CUDA versions 3.2 and 4.0 in the next version (5.0).
We have two options: - Limit the change to performance impact on the GPU kernels due to the removal of the legacy kernels, but do not prevent compilation with CUDA 3.2/4.0. - Require CUDA 4.1 or later; compilation with v3.2/v4.0 and therefore running with any driver earlier than 285.05 will not be possible. Note that we would prefer this option to be able to (unconditionally) use certain CUDA features introduced after 3.2/4.0. To conclude: - FYI: to those stuck with old CUDA/driver, unless you update CUDA (if you can) you may have issues when compiling v5.0; - Question: if you have any reasonable objections against he GROMACS v5.0 installer *requiring* at least CUDA 4.1, please voice your opinion on this short poll: http://goo.gl/v5iE2b Please express your opinions (both for/against the deprecation) ASAP! Comments and suggestions are, as always, welcome.
