At long last, you can now run GFN and GFN World Record tasks on your ATI GPUs!

Only GPUs supporting double precision floating point are compatible with GFN.

This new OpenCL app can also be run on Nvidia GPUs. Sometimes the OpenCL app is faster; sometimes the CUDA app is faster. You can select whichever one runs faster on your system.

Discussion of GeneferOCL can be found here.


Already downloaded one WU for my Radeon HD 6770M (Single Precision) @ MAC Mountain Lion, estimated run-time: 14:13:57 ETA: Error while computing after 2 secs

ETA2: Downloaded one for Radeon HD 7750 (very poor in Double Precision) @ Win7. Estimated run-time: 1189 hours #Shocked

Will probably abort it soon Rolling Eyes

It has to be a Double Precision card to work, same as NVidia.
I cannot do WR on my low end NVidia cards, as it takes too long.
Some day I may have powerful video cards.

Did a few GFN, run time approximately 33 hours per with 1 free CPU thread dedicated to GPU. Credits? Laughable - less than 30K per Sad

Wondering how it will take now to complete one, when I pull off the free CPU thread (to run CPDN on it Wink )

ETA: no difference in time - circa 33 hours even with all 8 CPU threads occupied with 7x WCG/CEP2 (huge RAM burden) + 1x CPDN
