 |
|
There might be some downtime this afternoon as we should be meeting with labstaff to get the MilkywayGPU@Home project up and running. I'll also be posting CPU code for the GPU application this afternoon so the people who have made the GPU application for the ATI cards can get their hands on it and modify it so it works with ATI cards. We should have the CUDA code out sometime this week.

I thought that Nvidia cards could not be used for Milky, Something to do with the fact that they don't do double calculations and Ati's do?
or somthin like that

I think the 200's do double precision maths.... but the limitation is really that you need to be running a 64 bit OS!.....
time to hedge my bets....

or one of these

I've read on the forums that there are some issues with the 4890's. Temporary ones i'm sure though. Something to do with the drivers.
