"Hey Scott,


The team has been working on this around the clock to unblock the folding community and we believe the root cause is a bug in the Folding@home dependent OpenMM software. We've engaged with them to see if they agree and get changes done by 12/14.


In case we can't get those changes done in the app soon, we're working on a fall-back option in our JIT compiler, based on an app profile to disable an optimization that is exposing the synchronization bug in the app. We're targeting to get that driver also posted publically on 12/14.


I'll let you know if either of the above doesn't happen for some reason and the new ETA.


Thanks for your patience!


Regards,

Team NV"


12/14 Update


Hey Scott,


Our efforts to get a resolution out by 12/14 has run into some roadblocks. The change suggestion we made for OpenMM needs more tweaks and our driver side workaround is close to being done but not complete yet. We plan to post a hotfix driver to unblock the Folding@Home users as soon as we have a workaround to share (within the next few days).


We'll keep you posted.


Regards,

Team NV
