Finally got my 7 digits - Page 3

lordonuthin · Nov 22, 2009, 09:39 PM

looks like our best week at about 1.7m points! maybe we will catch 2 mil/wk when the new guy gets his bigadv points, woo hoo

I'm begining to wonder whether we will get our points back from when that "glitch" hit? I had 1 bigadv as well as several other wu that never got posted, bummer...

May break down and get something new to run bigadv units on

since I haven't been able to get gpu's workin' for more points... since I don't have anyone around to keep me from spending money on computer stuff...

twoodcc · Nov 23, 2009, 04:29 PM

congrats to SciFrog for getting 3 million points!

yeah i don't think we'll get those points back. oh well. i'm also thinking about getting something to fold on as well. i'm wondering, would have a machine and putting in several video cards and running the gpu2 in windows be better? or just an i7 and run bigadv units? i was hoping some i7 systems would go onsale, but i can't really find any under $1,000

twoodcc · Nov 26, 2009, 09:41 AM

well i finally got 2 million now. i started this thread on 10/4/2009. today is 11/26/2009. so what is that, 53 days? considering how long it took for me to get to 1 million to begin with, i'm pretty happy with that

Woo hoo, the big three O-O-O-O-O-O-O

It would be nice to see some comparisons of ppd for gpu vs bigadv, I'll try to find something.

wait, by MWSF you mean CES?

mc68k · Dec 2, 2009, 12:29 PM

^ depressing but true. desktop computer hardware taking a back seat to iphones

sad day

having been to CES, it's about 100x cooler than macworld i must say. it may just be the perfect forum to drum up more business

twoodcc · Dec 12, 2009, 07:58 PM

I was over at kakaostats and saw there is someone new this week "elena", up only since tuesday and they already have over 4M points! Must be an institution with a wicked fast cluster? Some serious players out there...

You are #103 cruncher for the whole project, whao!
And actually #1 and #2 are default user, not real...
Impressive.

Can't wait for Gulftown Mac Pros and SMP2 (maybe 60k PPD with one machine?).

Thanks!

The Gulftowns, SMP2 and GPU3 will make for an impressive bump in PPD I hope. It will be interesting to see, I'm hoping some overhead will get cleaned up as well.

I wonder what companies besides Apple will get their software ported for Grand Central/OpenCL in the next year? Lots of potential there.

SciFrog · Dec 14, 2009, 06:34 PM

Do far grand central/open cl has done nothing for mac users...
