Hi all

The BBC website has published a video clip of the moment the Arecibo receiver section collapsed...

Hi all Sadly, the main central receiver section at Arecibo has now collapsed into the dish, taking with it the remaining support cables and the tops of the 3 support towers. The pictures are quite tragic, on the BBC website: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-55147973 5464.jpg So, it's end o...

Well done Penny...nice to see you "doing your bit" on WCG :-) To get to Emerald, you have to be crunching for a whole year, so I hope to see you post again in around another 180 days time - sometime around the end of May 2021 :-) In the meantime, I'm sure you can celebrate another good achievement, ...

Hi Chris Not quite a simple "cut and paste" - although I C&P'd the original, I then had to edit the lines, adding "tabs" between many of the parts of each line so that they would "line up" into a column...but it only took a minute to do...and now it's done, it's simple to add other lines to it...you...

Hi Chris You could enter as a table using the "code" prefix/suffix to "envelop" the specific data: eg: FP16 (HALF) FP32 (FLOAT) FP64 (DOUBLE) TDP RADEON R9 290 - 4.849 TFLOPS 0.606 TFLOPS 275W RADEON R9 280X - 4.096 TFLOPS 1.024 TFLOPS 250W RADEON HD 7990 - 4.096 TFLOPS 1.024 TFLOPS 375 W RADEON RX5...

Milkyway Benchmark: 1080 TI = 1 min 60 RX 580 = 1 min 30 V100 = 10-12 seconds! (and thats with the CPU 90% loaded also) WHAT !!!! That's impressive...though I'm not THAT surprised, as the whole idea of these GPU's was to really crunch hard and given that they have no display to "drive", so all the ...

https://milkyway.cs.rpi.edu/milkyway/hosts_user.php?userid=1181878 Its a cloud account with the V100 that I'm testing out. Unfortunately for some reason Milkyway is refusing to give me any work units for it Hi Chris Nice !! I've been interested in these Tesla GPU's for a while and was almost tempte...

Happy Birthday Richard - hope you have had a great day

Hi all Into the public domain has been posted a report about the history of the telescope, its funding, its achivements and what has happened at Arecibo more recently, and the potential to repair it. It's a fairly "hefty" document (link below) some 54 pages long.... https://media.telemundopr.com/202...

HI Currently running 12 threaded tasks and long Woodall versions taking about 17 hours each. Mike Hi Mike Lucky you...!! My geriatric CPU's have still yet to complete a single task :shock: Most of my currently running tasks are only maybe 25%-30% through each one, though I do have one task on my qu...

Arecibo is going to be decommissioned and dismantled . :o This is a very sad day for those interested in science, big data and space exploration... https:...

Hi Mike Thanks for the heads up. I'll join in on this...as I was only crunching ODLK tasks... There's a whole heap of info on this Challenge here: http://www.primegrid.com/forum_thread.php?id=9400 Brief Summary of the above: If anyone else is interested, the sub-projects you need to allow (on your P...

Hi all It seems that more damage has occurred at Arecibo and there is now a real threat that the central 900-ton receiver section, which is being supported by the broken/fraying cable support system, could actually crash into what's left of the dish surface below. More info here: https://www.theregi...

HI Darren Thanks for the heads-up on this. As you may know there are at least 3 projects who have developed tasks that will hopefully benefit research into Covid-19 - Rosetta, WCG and Ibercivis. And it's nice to see that Rosetta are starting to publish their initial results which hopefully will be w...

Also I wanted to change my forum name to Random Daz as that's what I am going to change it to on Boinc projects as well etc... I did try to PM an admin but I can't PM at the moment as I'm still a new user lol. Could an admin help me out with the name change if possible? :) Thank you if you can. Dar...
