I'm running a newly built system with an FX-8320 and an R9 270X (OC) that peaks at 6.9 TFS and I'm averaging around 2 TFS on the new tasks.
And that is while running 8-cores for WCG bio workloads. ...
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...
One of the reasons that I've been MIA is that my place suffered a massive electrical surge that took out some electronics.
(and two computers, one of which was running GPU work for PrimeGrid)
I'm...
Permission granted to come aboard YellowBronco!
:cool: <- NAVY FOREVER.
I also count among the crew here as a Linux expert, having been fully submerged since '96 and a former Silicon Valley LUG...
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...
That's a pretty sweet power envelope! Not much cabinet heat in 29 watts.
I also have a BR laptop with Media Center that I use for Netflix, but as I've said I'd really like to build an HTPC/PVR...
I just earned Ruby for HCC (I had already earned a Ruby Badge for the 'Help Fight Childhood Cancer' (HFCC) project. That makes my third (the other was with the 'Computing for Clean Water' project)....
I've got all mine pointing at WCG HCC (which I've already earned the gold) going for a Ruby Badge. Yeah... I'm that close already. Then I'll switch over to Rosetta and finish it out there.
I just...
Thanks for the info. I've been looking at building an ITX based PVR using one of the new APUs from AMD.
(gotta find an extra input into the HT setup though).
I've a Sony BR player that it'll...
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.
And just think of all the batteries that would benefit from extended lifespan. This technology may also find it's way into solar energy storage applications if adapted to large scale, but scaling...
Awesome lineup mmstick. Whose motherboard did you get for free?
Interesting observation on the R6850 performance. I've been thinking of upgrading a CrossFire pair and have been looking at that...
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...
Our hearts are with you and your countrymen Dave...
On my HD4850, on my platform didn't show any significant improvement. I had thought that the dual-core might have been starving the adapter, but this experiment seems to prove otherwise. Then again,...
I've had a few machines aimed at SIMAP since the turn of the new year, but I've also been helping out over at AQUA running their new Redfield Open Quantum Simulation. I'm getting ready to switch...
We completed the outside work on Wednesday ('600 equivalent of buried capacity in a rather complex dual-folded linear stub arrangement) and the inside work today (including the plumbing for hot water...
Well... if I lived somewhere that the temperature didn't diverge so dramatically from the ground temperature @ 60" down (pretty constant approx. 50 degrees F) then it wouldn't be worth doing. But,...
I actually live in the south-central part of Indiana, and while the snow-fall is not at serious as it can get up by the lakes, the temperature can get REALLY cold. Season over season swings of 130...
I've got a geothermal conversion going into my place next week (we start the dig on the 27th). I've got (many) friends that have recommended based upon their experience. I've already got two...
Congrats AMDave for getting your Linux/OpenCL/ATI GPU platform crunchin' (I know how fun that journey can be :icon_mrgreen: )
I'm still looking at the source and files to see how difficult it...
Well... It's official. I finally broke the 1M mark (thanks to the HD4850 I finally got crankin').
