I know they say a mac cuda app is in the works. Is there anyway to find out the state of progress, and if they need beta testers (im up for it)

any news anyone ?


regards

Crunch3r has a test version running on Linux systems.

I would guess that there is more Windows development required yet to clear up the presently known bugs before (wasting) time porting the still developing code over to other systems.

Sorry, looks like there'll be a bit of a wait yet before the debug effort moves over to adding other platforms.

There is also a "slight" problem of when the Mac OSes will support whatever OpenCL or whatever successor to CUDA (nVidia) and Stream (ATI)...

How's your crystal ball gazing?

Happy fast crunchin',

my crystal ball gazing is helped somewhat by your response ML1, cheers

i'm not complaining that there is no mac cuda client yet, just interested

my 8-core mac pro 8800GT combo is running windows 7 beta at the mo, so can utilise the cuda client for windows. dunno quite how long i can run win7 before going potty though :-)

my main problem running cuda and AP on the same machine is the lack of AP work units...the cuda side of things seems pretty stable now, after a few tweaks in the cuda code in recent days

thanks again

regards
