That's likely why he's been whinging about no one donating him anymore hardware these days. ;-)


Wouldn't know , all i'll say is my computers / GPU's etc have been saved up and paid for out of my own pocket , probably same as yours and a lot of other " crunchers" . Personally i wouldn't have the balls to expect people to give me stuff just for a " hobby " . That's taking the " michael " in my eyes .
Sorry if you don't agree but everyone's allowed a opinion and opinions are just like a - holes EVERYBODY HAS GOT ONE :-)

The same here, but he did mention that in his " The perhaps last kittyman thread", but as you probably know it'll never be his last. ;-)

Cheers.

Hi,
And I'm sorry about bolstering my achievements in a thread that is supposed to be just for that purpose.

My achievement:
a) the average processing rate that matches the previous generation GPU's APR on Astropulse tasks.
b) going over the APR on Seti before the I) credit new and II) v8.

The only person I can blame about that is me.

SETI@home v8 (anonymous platform, NVIDIA GPU)
Number of tasks completed 	912229
Max tasks per day 	5865
Number of tasks today 	1251
Consecutive valid tasks 	391
Average processing rate 	1,912.23 GFLOPS
Average turnaround time 	0.09 days

I have seen a picture of Petri's "monster". It is nothing spectacular, not a vast pile of computers, just a single motherboard, with a single CPU and four GTX1080 GPUs. What is so special is the application he is running, it is very highly optimised, and so many not be fully transferable to others. On three of my machines I am running previous generations of that application and can honestly say it is very fast, so what the latest generation is like....

Yes, that is so very tempting, flying on the Concord instead of a triple 7... Especially my 2 crunching rigs that I am running in a little competition between, my 1070 dual GPU and my 1060 dual GPU. They are pretty much identical, but when I posted my questions on why the 1060 was beating the 1070, it came down to them both needing the latest and greatest clients, and some serious tweeking. So, this might give me a chance to do just that. Of course, there is which distro to pick, and getting those gawd awful video drivers, and other drivers, installed... *shudder* Ugg. My head hurts a little already.

Well, You've inspired me to give it another go, I guess I'll stop polluting this thread with off topic convo, and get some ideas/suggestions from the Linux masters of which to use, what comes closest to Windoze in terms of "ease of use", upgradeability, and the least amount of command line tinkering and futzing. I can't believe you talked me into this... :-p


. . I opened a thread for this very purpose, If youhaven't already done it the first few posts encapsulate most of the advice I received from TBar and Petri.

It's humbling to see the contributions everyone has made, with certain users completing hundreds of millions of work units and more. I'm still very proud of each one of my 1.8+ million units, especially since they were all earned using only spare background cycles I was able to eke out while the screensaver was active. Someday I will build a dedicated system to run Boinc and Seti@Home... but until then I will continue making my contribution a little at a time, utilizing a strategy of breadth rather than depth of systems.

. . Every bit helps and 1.8 million credits is still quite a bit of work. Slowly slowly catchee monkey, oe something to that effect.

Kudos!


. . Hey stop giving away all that info about me :)

. . The sad part is how close it comes .... though I can buy a coffee or two with my change from that $200 :)
