    Yep! All new (I just couldn't bring myself to part-out my desktop dual-core).
    Figured I leap-frog past quad and hex-core and go directly to a native octo.

    And that is while running 8-cores for WCG bio workloads. ...

    Cool Million

    Well that took a while!

    I've had two machines crunching more or less continuously since January.

    A couple of days ago, Vaughan showed up to take lead with Jason in hot pursuit. (I knew then...

    Ouch!

    One of the reasons that I've been MIA is that my place suffered a massive electrical surge that took out some electronics.

    Seems like Aqua@Home has been taken off-line, hasn't been responsive for going on a week.

    Anyone know the story?

    I finally hit 10 Million on Ken's x86_64 OpenCL/ATI TPSieve v2.3e (that took some time). I think that I've now got a pretty good measure of the actual rate of Flops for this platform (6.0e10). Not...

    I've had good utilization on HCC as well and it's a very mature project. The CW project is relatively new so I can't talk to the consistency of the work, but I've gotten very good credit from it.

    I think that the play for a license of the ARM tek makes much more sense. Buying AMD would be a money loser and would alienate Intel. Competition (as opposed to Greed) is GOOD. Plus would Dell's...

    That took a while, especially given the project's knack for starts-n-stops. The FP WUs are still a great way to put all your cores under a heavy load and earn great credits in the process (you can...
