Desktop super-computer
Fancy your own desktop super-computer?
720 cores and it only costs 7 Grand or so. :shock:
Makes your new quad a bit sick.
Look and weep!

Don't forget it's really an octo core system.
The 720 cores are on the GPU aka the Nvidia Tesla C1060 4GB.
Or in laymen's terms, the Business side of the GTX280.
Get a nice credit per day on GPUGRID with them

I would class that as a benefitUBT - bobuk wrote:poo.....it does not come with 'vista' installed![]()
must save a few more pennies....

XP x64, Vista x64 or Linux, makes no difference to Telsa cards, as they are not graphics cards (no output connectors on them).
They are just pure CUDA co-processors (back to the 486 days with co-processors eh????, he he) nowt else.
It's why the system has a QuadroFX card (for the display), and 3 Telsa's (for the cuda)
Besides, if Vista drivers are faster, then why does my slower poota/8800GT on win xp x64, beat the faster poota/8800GT with Vista x64 in gpugrid........

Ehh :shock: It was you who told me the Vista drivers where quicker, and i saw for myself when i compared XP x64 to Vista x64. However that was a few applications ago. Alot has changed since then including crunching times (13hour wu's for 2,400 credits)NaRyan wrote:XP x64, Vista x64 or Linux, makes no difference to Telsa cards, as they are not graphics cards (no output connectors on them).

That was quite some time ago. (many many many many moons ago
)
The Vista app was the fastest by about 15% compared to XP.
Now is seems to be xp beats vista (no idea about linux, just know it has lower cpu usage)
Also looking at CPU usage windows XP x64 uses about 2%, while Vista jumps all over the place between 5% to 15%.
And that's on 2 idle systems, Idle as in they are only used for Boinc, nowt else, as both pootas do not have a monitor attached.
Heck on the XP system only thing plugged into it is the power and lan cables

My new rig is still doing the stress test period befor I start fideling, 7 threads of rosseta + one GPUGrid. Only problem is it's not on the network properly so I need to swap a CAT5 across now and then to update.Jeffers wrote:And there was me admiring my new I7 based PC. I was fascinated while crunching to see 8 threads running at once!
Gotta have a look at this CUDA stuff next....
And wow! Just noticed that I've nearly got 100k credits! Shouldn't take long to get there now with my new rig...
Ahh nice one, although i don't see you on the GPUGrid on Temujins stats?Depresion wrote:My new rig is still doing the stress test period befor I start fideling, 7 threads of rosseta + one GPUGrid.

And made the 100K, yippee!

On that, dose anyone know why it's showing as PS3Grid not GPUGrid in my Sig?Ben wrote:Ahh nice one, although i don't see you on the GPUGrid on Temujins stats?Depresion wrote:My new rig is still doing the stress test period befor I start fideling, 7 threads of rosseta + one GPUGrid.

The project was initially known as PS3Grid and at that time only ran on PS3s.Depresion wrote:On that, dose anyone know why it's showing as PS3Grid not GPUGrid in my Sig?
They then supported GPU crunching and became known as PS3Grid/GPUGrid.
Lately they have become known just as GPUGrid.
Certainly for my stats, a project is setup once and if it then renames itself it will wait till I get around to changing it.
I would think your stats sig is something similar
