Hello there

Post by Siborg »

Hi everyone, I just joined the team after running SETI@HOME for a while but I've never taken an active interest in teams until now  :D

I have the project running when I'm in bed and when I'm out as it's my only computer, 2.13ghz dual core. it plods along nicely.

Signatures had been turned off on new accounts, for some reason.

I have turned them on again.

Thanks guys, I was going to try my hand at running MilkyWay on my GPU but it looks a little too complicated for me lol.

Hi Siborg, if you have a Windows Live Messenger or similar one of us can walk you through setting up the GPU for Milkyway if you want, or drop one of us a PM..

Cheers

Like Timby says (it is fairly easy to do)

or

Wait a couple of weeks and MilkyWay might have ATI GPU apps downloading automatically.
Keep an eye on this MW forum thread

I think milkyway now downloads the ATI client automatically to your PC? Might be worth checking to see if it is using it now  :D

Good man! Make sure it is using your GPU (if it is capable though). Not sure how long the CPU version takes but think it's in the region of 6-10hrs?

GPU can be as quick as <1min per WU on high spec cards  :shock:

Yeah good point Temujin  :D
I have an ATI 4870 and I'm really happy with it. The last WU for Milkyway took 36 seconds  :shock:

I wish I could run that much but as it's my only computer it's only crunching for about 8-12 hours a day. Depending on how late in the day I decide to be lazy and lie in bed lol.

8-12 hours on milkyway with a gpu is pretty good  :wink: I have mine on for much less then that but usually manage to do between 10-25k in a day...ish  :)
