Installing a full GPU computing node

2019-01-04, 13:18

This script helps with installing a full Mersenne GPU computing node with applications ready to run.

- First phase: install a minimal Debian/Ubuntu system, and reboot;

- Second phase: login as root and run the script, it will ask for confirmation a few times. The script is adapted for debian, needs modification for ubuntu unless you type "sudo -i" before.

Well done Valerio, thanks. If only we had a similar system for Nvidia...

Hint: for the next version you could trap and visualize errors (no connection errors, compilation errors and so on), stopping the script as soon as something goes wrong.

It is possible to set up the error trace, I will try later. I have no experience with NVIDIA drivers and applications, no hardware to test on.

Ah, quick read of the script, mfakto and gpuowl and ROCm.
I had no idea Preda had forked mfakto until reading this.

The new version in Makefile style catches some issues and returns an appropriate error number.

I didn't much forked it, it was just a one-time fix for some simple compilation errors.

For github it is a fork in all respects :-)
