1) Questions and Answers : Macintosh : SETI failing to upload (Message 1369557)
Posted 5 hours ago by Profile arkayn
I have an older Mac iBook http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/show_host_detail.php?hostid=5550991 that won't upload to SAH. OSX 10.5.8. The last time it uploaded was apparently Apr. 1, 2013. It's running BOINC 6.2.18 and SAH seri_enhanced-ppc-v8-g4-nographics. This machine is also running MIlkway and has no problems uploading there.

Can anyone offer some advice, please.

Can that host get to this address.

That article was saying that the GTX780 will be 30% faster than the GTX680.

GTX 780 is based on the GK110 chip that ended up in Titan cards while GTX 770 is based on GK104 425 an improved original GK104 28nm chip.

Still here - poking along on my MacBookPro, hoping someone will compile a version for the laptop GPU...

Compiled, still in alpha testing.

You can check my 2 machines as between them I have a 650 TI, a 660 and a 670.

My GTX670 & GTX660 machine made it up to almost 52k doing nothing but GPU work before the recent work shortage.

The other reason is the CUDA apps do not include the graphics app like CPU stock apps do.

Now I'm confused Arkayn,

I don't understand how CPU usage time can be greater than the completion time!!

John3760


That happens if I am doing something CPU intensive on the machine during the run, especially when it wants to use the CPU right at that moment.

Wow! Are those half-sheet pre-cut rectangles?


Nope, those are sheet pan size pre-cut rectangles.


They fit the pans just right.

Is this of any help?

Grease proof paper


I have always called it parchment paper. I use it all the time when baking. Besides coming in sheets on a roll, it can be purchased in rounds that fit into the bottom of cake pans. The bleached (white) paper works better for some baked goods and the unbleached (brown) paper works better for other baked goods. It all depends on how much heat you want drawn to or reflected away from the bottom of what you are baking.


Parchment Paper is something that I am very familiar with being as I work in the food service industry.


I use it to bake too.


What I like about is it makes clean up so simple. I keep a roll around here all the time. ;)


We don't use rolls of it.

We need boxes!!

A small update on th Astropulse GPU WUs.


This may or may not be a problem,(I for one am quite happy with the times !)
but it seems as though my completion times are pretty close to my CPU usage times on every WU.

All of my wingmen seem to have CPU usage times that are about half of the completion time.

Although the GPU WUs are a lot quicker than my Astropulse CPU WUs, it seems to me that the GPU ones are using a lot of the CPU compared to other people using the same opt app.

thanks

Thats a known issue on nvidia GPU`s.
Nothing to worry about.




I can even point you to my split personality machine and it's OpenCL AP work on Linux.

Your biggest problem is there is no stock app for Linux CUDA, you will have to go to the anonymous platform and optimized apps to run them.

Congrats guys i'll join you all in August keep crunching

SAME HERE!!!

Like the idea of a 15th Anniversary T-Shirt.


We did do a 10th anniversary shirt that Uli was the primary contact for.

Mine is still in good shape.

I most likely will be looking at getting a GTX770 to see what it can do alongside the GTX670.

I not a network expert , just a normal user, but apears the route is working so something else is happening that avoid you to open the site, maybe someone else could give you a hand how to fix that.

My only guess is something like forbiden sites from your anti-wathelse you use to protect your computer (virus/spam/spy etc).

But, as you could see, by several others post the site it´s working normaly.

I know there is a mirror site of the builds, just don´t remeember the link, see in some forum few months ago, so you need to do some digging.


That would be my site, where we do the testing of the builds.
