Designed no, but some accommodations made. Besides, never tell a donor what it doesn't do as they'll have to go and try and make it work... Any day now I expect one of the projects will have some new feature from some volunteer that'll deliver pizza to them...

I was just wondering. Been theorized the GPUs have gotten powerful enough to contribute to DC projects. Whether there's sufficent mass and support, I don't know either. As David Anderson noted in regards to SETI... Yes it's possible but it'll probably take a volunteer to develop one. GPUGrid was sup...

Just curious if there's been any experimentation with using GPUs on Androids? It's been talked about quite often on BOINC and I went looking for the topic again and I found a post from David Anderson of BOINC: The BOINC Android client supports GPUs with OpenCL libraries. This has been been demo'ed o...

I experimented last night and saw Folding was still taking up 25% of the CPU even with BOINC maxed out (all 4 cores at 100%). Interestingly, it seemed BOINC wasn't quite sure about this so none of the cores seemed to be hitting 25%. They were maxing out about 20% and it really about 18-19% consisten...

I get that. I don't know if that applies to the BOINC projects or not. It's up to each project to decide and I haven't delved into the history of their GPU developments. Even though I have an nVidia GPU, I wish they had gone the OpenCL route so it wouldn't matter nVidia or AMD/Radeon. :/ Universe@ho...

Thanks for the info. I believe most of the BOINC projects have CUDA just for nVidia even when they support Radeon too.

Everytime we look like we're getting standardized...

One CPU is always feeding the GPU with data, if you have 4, that would be at least 25% So it's not quite a pure GPU (as close as one can anyways) client. I'm used to BOINC projects. I didn't realize the CPU use was going to be that high. I wanted to keep BOINC on the CPUs and Folding on the GPU. Th...

After digging around to find out to disable CPU processing, I figured out how to go GPU only. Apparently there is no friendly switch to do so. I'm showing 30% CPU usage though this is suppose to be a GPU crunching. The Advanced client isn't up and there's no visualizations going. That's another issu...

If the system never intended to have a _ or other non alphanumeric char as the first char... e.g. A stray space got put in front of the name, but at the time it didn't get stripped out. and was stored. Later the name system changed (no spaces) and converted it to an underscore. It doesn't get flagge...

Hi Bruce, *COUGHS* Well I guess 007 does belong to me after all. I'm guessing I couldn't figure out how to recall my username and/or passkey at some point and I created a new one. Now, I don't know why but I got almost 2 duplicate names but they are different passkeys: _RuneStar__(PBB) -- This was i...

Well, it was spaces originally and then you changed the naming system later. At some point I rerequested the Passkey and the system went: Sorry, can't have your username like that, we got to modify it. And the passkey link is still valid for the non () because I got the e-mail (after I found the old...

In the early days, there was no requirement that the username be unique. (You might find several people contributing points to the same account if you used a common account name, like "John".) Once the concept of passkey was introduced, you could distinguish the points belonging to "...

You can change username (new account), and you can change passkey, independently. But there is no way to transfer points between different usernames, or different passkeys. You can (AIUI) look up points earned by a passkey independent of username, and vice versa. I got the changing them independent...

Ah... I was typing it in the box below. Probably something to do with Starts With then a down arrow pointing down at the box. O.o I think 007 was somebody else especially as there was no team associated. However, it won't search on the passkey. I had the server re-email it to me and still no luck. I...
