Re: I wish the Active Projects page show supported compute architectures CPU, GPU or both
If I could expand the thread a bit... If CPU work is necessary, then why is PPID so low? I know the flops is low. Obviously the system works but I just think it could descentivize people from using their CPU cores. They could configure their clients to use less cores for some reason or another, or p...

Re: I wish the Active Projects page show supported compute architectures CPU, GPU or both
Thanks me neither i meant a project that supports formatting a work unit for crunching with either a C or a G but not simultaneously. Ok well that answers my question then. CPU cores despite their low PPD are doing necessary work that is not coded to work with GPUs, sweet.

Re: I wish the Active Projects page show supported compute architectures CPU, GPU or both
Thank you! That tells me that zero projects can take advantage of both GPUs and CPUs besides a CPU core needed to feed the GPU? So, no CPU work is enabled for GPU so it is all efficient? Is it allowed to list multiple core types in the table in case a project supports both? Edit: It appears multiple...

I wish the Active Projects page show supported compute architectures CPU, GPU or both
https://apps.foldingathome.org/psummary The reason why I wish this page would show the architecture compatibility of each project is, is to see if there are any projects in which CPU cores can be used efficiently i.e. no GPU support? Whereas I believe many projects support both processor architectur...
