Hello :)

Just curious, which (BOINC or non-BOINC) project you will crunch "as of tomorrow"?

Thanks :)


Einstein@home

+1 for the GPU's

Still trying to find a suitable place for my CPU .

Universe or WCG. Both have worked well for me, but I'm focused on Universe right now.

We'll always be out there, Unixchick, helping where we can. This was a nice meeting place, but there are many active and worthy projects to help.

Some projects will only allow you to register via BOINC Manager
If this doesn't work, try to find an HTTPS version of the site

Yeah i was going through web browser on their website using https and it gave me a captcha, and after 15 "failed" attempts, I gave up on MW.

Captcha said I answered correctly, otherwise it wouldn't have given the green check mark saying "you are human and answered correctly," but then the MW website kept saying invalid captcha.

So..... MW doesn't get my CPU cycles. They obviously don't want them.

I had a similar problem. I think it doesn't like certain web browsers. Try a different one if you have another option.

Stephen, Those are my two projects for right now. I may try a few others to see how they run on my gear.

I would like to attach to some project that study SARS-CoV-2 on GPU.

If you find one please share with us.

Sure.
It seems WCG in process of making project for that, but will it CPU only or not - time will tell. Signed up for news for now.

Yes, I have signed up to be notified as well. Looking forward to working on it.

Thanks, gentlemen! I'll look into the AMD options as part of deciding which rigs to put where.

Tbar,

I can afford a $100 card. Does it have to be under Windows to avoid the driver problem for Linux?

Ian,
If I have the CPU cores and want to stay with Ubuntu, how do the Nvidia cards compare to AMD? Will the same $ get you about the same processing capability for E@H tasks?

I am also able to send tasks now on 3 hosts, so situation is improved.

Carolyn is MIA. But must be 5 AM in CA. Let's them finish a good night of sleep first.
Well, 6:45 AM currently.
They need to get a Finnish staff member. Those people never sleep! :)

You're having better luck than me.
Some serious issue, I think. When I try to look at my hosts I get the following: 
Database Error

Yes, all better now. PCs can report tasks. Time for that beer, Juan! Wiggo, feel free to start early.

After missing 3 Tuesday outrages, I'm sure some maintenance is past due. Still, anyone with hundreds of GPUs could quickly get quite a backlog while they're sneaking out for beer.

I don't think so. There should be zeros, not blanks.

Some data missing on the server status page and my PCs cannot report work, even with NNT set. I was hoping the servers would become more snappy with results out in the field dropping.

That's it for new data distribution (other than Astropulse). I'm sure there will be some resends, but now it's just crunching time.

Thanks for the cross-post, Ian. That's good to know and a reasonable way to wind down so there is no waste for the volunteer crunchers.
