    In case you hdn't pinged it, S@H will be off-line 'till end of Thursday. This is to complete repairs after the powerline short circuit two weeks ago. Hope you've got some work in 'yer cache.......

    11,000? :eek: You need to post this on the NC forum. I think that many tasks will get someone's attention. Post it in the Internal server error thread.....

    Looks like a fairly major Berkeley outage - all of the Space Sciences Lab (ssl) sub domains have vanished! Who dug up the cable then??????

    ....for those interested in the S@H 'long game' this thread: http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/forum_thread.php?id=67906 hints vey strongly at what you can expect from a 680 (:eek:), using the optimised app' currently being beta tested (read the post from Jason G on May 2nd, 17:39 UTC). This...

    Right now, the best S@H output for a single GPU is from the 580s. However, the Lunatics crowd will produce an optimised version of the app' that makes better use of the 680 architecture - but that is likely to be a slow process.

    ...you'll need to go down a bit deeper that that. If you accepted the defaults at install, you'll need to go to: C:\ProgramData\BOINC\projects\setiathome.berkeley.edu\ Mr Toxic - the cone of shame is now yours for an extra week!!!! :eek::D

    The 680s do have a huge increase in double precision (DP) capability - unfortunately, S@H uses virtually no DP calculations - apparently a limitation of the accuracy of the telescope data being analysed. I'm not saying I think CUDA will be abandoned - its just that this card is first and...

    SETI@Home & OcUk Projects News Vol. 172 24th March - 30th March 2012

    The 'word on the street' has indicated that the 680s may well have a potentially useful performance gain. Unfortunately, nVidia has changed the physical architecture of the GPU a great deal (between Fermi & Kepler) - and has apparently kept their development community completely in the dark as...

    Toxic - I'm disappointed. :( The pre-release stuff is **** and bull. GPUUG gets diddly in that regard. If you want the pre-release stuff just register as a lunatics beta tester - and then 'sign' the Nvidia NDA to gian access to the next gen' CUDA libraries. But be prepared for some nasty...

    You'll also find that a lot of the task reporting on the S@H website has recently been disabled to help with bandwidth consumption. Just keep processing and the points will come...!:cool:

    Scuttlebut has it that we're in a shorty storm for S@H; stuff is being turned around very quickly by those lucky enough to get work hence the pipes being maxed out. :rolleyes:

    Only for Rosetta I'm afraid. There is a lot going on behind the scenes @ GPUUG that will be benefit S@H greatly both in the short and long term that I want to continue to play a part in - I will say no more at this stage.:cool:
