Struggling to get gpuOwl working on Ubuntu 20.04
 

So as the title suggests, I have some problems running GpuOwl on Ubuntu 20.04 . I can compile it just fine but git cloning the repo and running make in the temrinal. The issue comes when running it with a given exponent for a LL test for example

I am using a GTX 1080ti with the 440 proprietary nvidia driver. I have installed the nvidia-cuda-toolkit as well as the opencl drivers for ubuntu ocl-icd-opencl-dev. I had gpuOwl running perfectly fine on the same machine running the same os, but the issue here is on a new fresh install of the same system. My guess is that some dependencies/configurations were present in my previous installation that don't exist now. Any ideas?

This was caused by a recent code change that disabled the atomics pragma, should be fixed now in the lastest commit.

Thanks a lot it works flawlessly now! Just out of curiosity... What was the change that was causing a problem? Why was it changed? Could you explain it in laymen's terms (I am just curious)? Thanks again for our contributions! :bow:

I "tidied up" the code by remove pragmas that told the compiler that gpuowl requires 64-bit base and extended atomics. In fact the 64-bit base atomics are used in one place. The AMD OpenCL didn't complain. The nVidia compiler rightly complained.
