* Milkyway@home runs a lot faster on ATI GPU's, it does work on nvidia GPU's (min. GTX260) but you would be better off running SETi@Home
on that hardware if you want to get the very best out of it, having said that a new application could be released at any
time that could change that situation.

Milkyway@Home requires a GPU supporting Double Precision arithmetic.

Thanks for the news Mr Halz sah much appreciated

 

[TheTross]

Thanks a lot for the update! Seems like the team keeps on improving

 

[Stickman]

Cheers for the news.

Quick question: are there planned outage days on the MW@H servers like there are with seti... or is downtime just random/unexpected?

 

[BaBa]

Hello

Hope this all works as its my first post

Im going to try a run at our Mr Cyclo, not sure if i can do it with the kit i have but we shall see

A big thanks to halz for mailing me in on this.

Random but its never off for long so dont worry about it, if you do end up with some downtime due to lack of work just run a backup project, thats what most of us do mate

Fantastic to hear hear from you S'ah, you are most welcome here anytime

Regards your run at Cyclo, I wish you luck....................your going to need it

PS. What are the odds on you bringing your team over from Nemesis for the SETI team

 

[BaBa]

Moved over my seti from nemesis earlier today, should also be ramping up my seti rac
Collatz is going to suffer but i only do that to keep the farm fed.

 

[derk]

I thought you had but wasnt sure, the SETI team are going to love you

 

[cyclo]

Cheers again Halz

It might be easier than you think atm Ba, I been having to snooze my 5870 while I do other stuff on that pc, but hopefully I'll be able to afford a 2nd 5870 soon

 

[theforce]

Bah, some people in here get crazy RAC. Well it seems like my 4890 can only provide so far. Hope SI will provide a decent boost in Milkyway@home compared with the 5870.

The 4890 will do just fine here S'ah, just keep them results coming

I currently have two 4850x2's and a 4770 running MW but have just snagged a sapphire 5970 4GB toxic on the bay at a silly price (hope its not a scam)

If its not a scam this should do 300k on its own

I think Cyclo has something to worry after all, nice catch S'ah

Psssst.......careful how you use the word Toxic around here, could get confusing

 

[edgedemon]

Ba joining Milkyway and seti is a massive bonus - welcome s'ah, its good to have you...
Noticed I got a tiffy - not a big one, but slow and steady is the game, I just dont have a rig I can stick an ati card in at the mo, it will have to wait for AMD and bulldozer before I upgrade to an ati based solution

Thanks for the news Mr Halz - much appreciated...

Blimey, its a bit quite at the moment, where is everyone

I'm out of action for a bit, the Mint install i had running BOINC suddenly decided to loose all forms of networking... so i've been using Peppermint while i try to fix it. Shouldn't be long now, just need to add a few lines to the networking config file but... i'm 'Ewan' by the way

 

[Berserker]

Wohoo. Come back from holiday and everything's still working (farm and Team OcUK). No stomp from kolala either!

[Fires up Google to see what Mint and the Peppermint you refer to are]
