I thought all Nvidia cards were Single Precision...

Nvidia effectively sabotages the consumer cards to protect the sales of the overpriced Tesla cards.

It's too bad the big GFNs don't run on Linux.
After a new build, I'm trying to test it's legs and learn Linux along the way. So far so good.

It doesn't?
Linux running on an Intel x86-compatible CPU 1.07 (cuda32_13) 14 Mar 2012 | 14:58:48 UTC
Linux running on an AMD x86_64 or Intel EM64T CPU 1.08 17 Mar 2012 | 11:14:04 UTC
World Record doesn't but the short tasks do.

The 13 day challenge for GFN Short has completed. We had 5 Knights in the project and the current standings of those 5 Knights are (this can change some as WUs that are invalid will change scores and could cause place changes).
| Code: | 27 [KWSN]John Galt 007 3374300.67
72 Williamd007 1619571.13
200 KWSN-Gemjunkie[TeaM] 583191.96
365 Pooh Bear 27 160100.83
425 KWSN - Sir Grawlfang 106533.45 |
As a Team with only the 5 of us, we got:
| Code: | | 16 The Knights Who Say Ni! 5843698.04 |
Again this position and total could change if there are invalid WUs. It will take months to do the cleanup effort (I am guessing 6), but I am pretty positive none of mine are invalid as most have validated already (2 waiting) and I never had an invalid one yet.
Good job Knights. Next one is SGS LLR on 14-Feb 18:00UTC for 24 hours. Let's try and make a good showing on that one!

It's a shame,I also had a mac mini running a CPU WU but it didn't finish until after the end date.
Ni!

I'm game. We'll see if the new servers means I can get tasks in the first half hour.

I have updated the GFN challenge listing. Our team moved up one place from 17 to 16 and KWSN - Sir Grawlfang has moved up two places from 430 to 428!
Per the cleanup states, only 222 outstanding units to be crunched, from over 3200 after the challenge on 19-JAN.
Today is the SGS challenge starting at 18:00 UTC (less than 4.5 hours as of this posting). I know it will cut into our DDM, but it's only a 24 hour challenge, so whomever sets up over there, good luck.

Actually, I didn't want to run off to another project while visitors are crunching DDM so hard on our behalf.
Also, I forgot until it was ~1.5 hrs. in.

With the Snake Challenge almost finalized, I updated the chart above. A few people moved up spots.
The Valentines one has been finalized and they look like:
| Code: | 75 Pooh Bear 27 63115.13
224 Blurf 19565.04
227 KWSN - Sir Grawlfang 19500.04
280 [KWSN] multijumper 14105.03
307 Williamd007 12025.02
600 Plomos 910.00
624 KWSN-Gemjunkie[TeaM] 780.00
698 Nightwish 455.00
786 John Mohr 260.00
826 KSWN - Yellow! No, blue. Aargh!! 195.00 |
| Code: | | 23 The Knights Who Say Ni! 116805.23 |
And in just under 9 days is the Equinox Challenge. This is a PPS LLR for 5 days fro 17-March 11:02 to 22-March 11:02 (the website has conflicting times, in the forums they say 18:00, but the countdown clock shows 11:02).
Good luck to anyone who participates this time around.
[/EDIT] The time is confirmed 11:02.

There is a Beta Cuda app for Proth Prime Search LLR. Will those WU's count for the Challenge?

From PG Forums:
If anyone is actually able to run the CUDA app, is willing to run it, and it returns a valid result, yes, it will count.
There are no llrCUDA apps available for download from the server, so the only way to run it is with app_info.
IMHO this is a waste of perfectly good GPU resources; it's not very fast and uses a lot of CPU time. Might as well just run on the CPU cores.

2nd and 3rd generation Intel processors (2xxx and 3xxx) have AVX.
There are some newer AMD processors but the first set did it wrong so it doesn't work for them. I am unsure how to tell which ones without Googling it.
I have one that has AVX and the speed enhancement is tremendous. For example SGS I do in about 15 minutes whereas a close to same speed non-AVX takes nearly 40 minutes. I hope to do some updating in the future.
