The main problem is time. Developers talented enough to do this are very busy at their day jobs. Secondly we have to worry about the precision of the floating point calculations.

I've heard about some other distributed computer projects using GPU's (folding@home using radeons x1K GPU's). Hi jokinin, have a look at this thread. There are also other threads about GPU crunching here in the NC forum, you just have to do a little search... ;-) HTH Andy |

I've heard about some other distributed computer projects using GPU's (folding@home using radeons x1K GPU's). Is there any plan to optimize the seti@home client for this GPU's? I'm currently using an Athlon64 3400+ on my main computer and it has a x1950 pro GPU, and i guess that the GPU has much more raw power than the general CPU and would crunch number much faster. |
