Excellent.

Looks like a version of Global Thermonuclear War from War Games but without the Russians:D

Neat images, wonder if it could be used as a S@H screensaver?


Why bother with screensavers anymore? Simply open up the page in your web browser and press F11 to go full-screen. Leave it up on your monitor for an awesome display! :-D


Then open up task manager and see how much cpu usage its using.


That's what the CPU is there for: to do stuff. Since I am not dedicating all CPU cores to SETI, letting this webpage run isn't a bad usage of CPU power.

On a more serious note, this does help visualize just how much growth potential there is for the project

Hi OzzFan,

Yup, and thereby screw up any crunching taking place using the GPU:-/

Hmmm... I crunch on my GPUs and it hasn't screwed up anything here. I'm not sure why you think displaying images would screw up crunching? I'm sure you display your desktop when it is crunching.

Further, wouldn't displaying it as a screen saver do the same thing? After all, it is just an image being displayed on the screen.

i love this. Helps visualize all of us working away! I run 2 hps 24/7 for you. Am currently home from a shoulder operation you just made my day!

Also it is spring break so most students are not on this week. Check it out next week, will be higher.

Thank you,

Yes, there are ~10 .js files used like this:
<script src="./js/transfer.js"></script>

My wild guess - native (machine, CPU) code will be >100 times faster/lighter

Some of the .js are code:
http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/kiosk/js/setiTraffic.js

Some are big tables:

Agreed. Nothing that would screw up GPU processing.

It does slow it down by taking up CPU time that the GPUs need to keep busy.

Assuming you only leave a single core free for the GPU, sure. Along the same lines, it would slow down crunching on that single CPU if it weren't assisting the GPU. Still, it wouldn't screw it up either way.

Would be a nice Screensaver too! It could switch every 10 minutes or so with the current screensaver :D

There are 8 billion people on this planet.

You think that 7 billion is good enough as well? World Population Clock.

Smuggling a billion here and there, you should work for the Government. They juggle with numbers like that as well. ;-)

Hi Ozzfan,
It slows down crunching:-( Not by a lot, but slow down it does..
And as a screensaver I wouldn't be using it during crunching, since my rig is also my home video server and general usage machine, mail etc. That's when I'd run a screensaver.

Cheers,
Cliff,

Sure, I never argued that. I only argued the original claim that running the graphic or screen saver somehow screws up crunching. Screws up, to me, means destroys or causes errors.

So then display the website graphic when you're not crunching. I don't know man... I was just trying to suggest an alternative idea to be helpful without requiring someone to re-do it as a screensaver that likely isn't going to happen. It is a cool graphic and I think displaying it on a screen is a great idea. I was suggesting how you can make it happen.

The only thing that I was pointing out was that running the visualization was cpu intensive.

I never made any claim that it would "screw up" any crunching.

On some setups an increase in cpu usage will cause a slow down in gpu crunching.
