BigAdv Projects for F@H -- what's needed now?
- Thread starter Louis Wu
- Start date
- Sort by reaction score
As for GPU ... There is only one project with 8900 around; I don't see any new core 17 in the pipeline. The recent new beta projects are core 15.
PG should get a better transparency in place; giving is some planning orientation.
That's said: Right now I also would go with a 780Ti, but how long there will be good QRB projects ?

i guess no new mac pro will work
perhaps not but that's not a reason to hold off getting one

Damn that is insane to think that a Mac Pro is out. Tell them to work on OpenCL

true. i wonder if best buy will get them.....perhaps a credit line increase request is in order....

well you can still fold with it, just not BigAdv units

I think it should work doing it this way:
1 - Buy new Mac Pro
2 - Use new Mac Pro to do your work faster
3 - Use the extra money you earn to build a 64-core system for F@H

That's only good for one year
until the next increaseThat's only good for one year
yeah, you never know. the increase to 16 cores lasted two years didn't it?
mind you, two months between an increase from 24 cores to 32 cores is not a huge amount of time to adjust...
rwh202, that looks bad on your side. Did you switched off or is that the mix of WU you get ? Or both ?
A bit of both - mostly getting core15 and even the amd were getting occasional core16 (2k ppd - woot!), so shut down 6 gpu for Christmas - at least it means I can close the windows now!
I'll see how things are going in the new year, but not really worth having the 780s etc folding at the moment.
I was going to get a pair of 780ti, but can now see that money going into the macpro pot - oh well!
There is a request for help on SMP folding (non BA); as a spinoff from the BA discussion .
If you have any idle resources please run or keep running SMP WU; not for points, for science.
I restarted by two idle CPU slot on GPU rigs. Nothing powerful but still fold a bit.

Hi Christian -- that's a good idea; I'll start up my CPUs on my GPU boxes. Now that I have power again. repairs cost as much as a good 4P rig
While our team internal ranking is "repaired" the exodus at FAH continues. Some [H]igh-performer are on strike/leave. Due to decreased satisfaction with communication behavior from PG. Same for the overall number of computer taking in the project: less and less. I hope it will stop and reverse at least a bit.
So sad
Long-term folder: was that ever similar ?
