Again adak,
please feel free to draw me or others into a discussion of our personal opinions.

As you know by now, I can certainly debate as well, and as long as you.
However, it remains for PG to explain their rationale.

So PG is poor at administration, in your opinion. Do you think that gives you the right to second guess their administrative decisions for the project? Yes, that is exactly what any sane person does when making a donation. They evaluate how a charity uses their donation. They should look to see how...

This is a cellular protein research project. It needs to be lead by protein research scientists. Doesn't that make sense? No, apparently they have neither the time, nor the inclination to administer. The administration of the point system, the administration of donor relations has indeed been the w...

@ mdk777: It sounds like you want a new points system, or an adjustment to the current points system. You also want to know why the change was made in the threshold. Nope. It really makes no difference to me whatsoever. If PG wants 3 separate(smp,GPU,BA) or one point system doesn't matter. If PG wa...

What else would you like to know? ;) You have merely repeated your best guess. Bruce has his. I have mine. What donors asked was for PG to explain THEIR rationale. I could explain why your interpretation makes more or less sense, but that is entirely beside the point. As you correctly note, for thr...

Though the nature of some of the posts here may be off-putting, As a group, and individually, we'll have to let that frustration from the past, go. We need to be calm, and focus on the problem, or the discussion will go straight off the tracks, and be useless to PG or anyone else. Can PG run this p...

We need calm rational discussion, and patience, not "it's been over a week and I don't have specific answers to this problem!", hysteria. no, three weeks...no, three months...no, three years...no... Yeah. not exactly hysteria. :wink: well overdue? YES. edit PS @ alias: The "top down&...

Did not need to, really, since all of the looking for a "shiny badge of honor" members (i.e. PS - I might get banned) were in those two threads on those two particular forums. How one acts on their home forum is usually indicative of how one acts on a neutral help forum. Point of fact: Th...

PS, not afraid of my record. Last post in the thread mentioned. http://www.amdzone.com/phpbb3/viewtopic ... 30#p226689 I feel your pain...like money down a rat-hole. :wink: Over the last few years, I've been tempted to join in again...but finances and a healthy skepticism have always won out. :lol: ...

will gain an appropriate reply in due time.

Well lets see...I've posted several direct quotes from 3 + years ago.

I guess we are all entitled to our opinions on what is "appropriate" and "in due time".

Yes, and as you noted, I did not build a 4p rig. point of fact, I did not OC a 4core 8 thread either. How individuals choose to participate or not participate does not change the responsibility of PG to provide clear guidance. :!: ad hominem attacks add nothing to the topic. This is what I wrote in ...

well, let me repeat again that smp work units are a red herring. The real issue is that BA work units are just no longer required or have projects lined up to use the unique capability. :!: If you look at the total for Linux, and assume it is ALL BA: You have 13 out of 17032 current TFLOPS. The dili...

well, I guess it all comes down to how you parse "topic" The topic is indeed the announcement. What science or project driven application does this announcement address? What does it communicate or fail to communicate? What is the timing of the announcement? Should it have been made 6 mont...

anyway, to bring the discussion full circle. As asked by many and unanswered in this thread by any: Since the BA requirements have been thread and deadline driven for some time, What is the rational for increasing the core count requirement at this time and with the timing described in the announcem...

Well, my memory was pretty accurate about the changes to the BA description, if not to the launch date of I7. viewtopic.php?f=55&t=15107&start=45#p150215 Quite the opposite Fact: These were the original directions Q: Can I try running these units on my super-overclocked, liquid-cooled quad-c...
