    Hi TeAm!

    Hi Again. I was going thru some old images and come across one from about 3 years ago. I had around 24 of these at my beck and call at work. Don't think I wasn't thinking of ya'll back then. :D Unfortunately, they were for testing, so no DC, but ... -jim

    Hi TeAm!

    Mostly retired, though I do get out to see them. Living in Texas now after a life spent in Northern California. Austin, to be specific. It's hot here. :) -jim

    Hi TeAm!

    You all popped into my head today. Stop that! ;) Just thought I'd stop by and say hello. Not doing any DC at the moment. Would like to get back to it at some point with some shiny new hardware. cheers, -jim

    Congrats to Caferace ...

    stumbling across an ancient post. I'm crunching again. But on a lark, really. One "box". Not even a box. A phone. It's kind of fast though and I'm well surprised. Samsung Galaxy S3. http://www.rechenkraft.net/yoyo//show_host_detail.php?hostid=169944 Beats a bunch of the big boxes I had...

    Been away from DC a long time, what's out there?

    Yup. Been a while. Nice to see TAS still underway. :) I'll let you know how it goes. Corsair has some nice toys to play with. -jim

    Miss me?

    Hello, Doc, Peter... I've retired from actual racing, focusing now on the journo side of it. I run a very popular weekly podcast going on seven years now about MotoGP and WSBK motorcycle roadracing. Been traveling to a lot of races, getting interviews, etc... good fun! -jim www.motopodcast.com

    Miss me?

    'sup, Rudy? Howdy, tA... Wasn't crunching for a bit, and the P3 army is no longer. Underemployment does that for you. BUT... happily re-employed since last August, and at work I have a bevy of i5-661/GTX465 boxen about doing nuthin'. Pointed one of 'em at F@H using the stock GPU client and was...

    pay attention to the capacitators

    It's not that hard to replace capacitors, and incredibly cheap. Just takes a decent soldering iron rig (which everyone here *should* have :)), some ingenuity to setup a stable platform to place the MB upside down on and a bit of practice on a dead mobo. Much cheaper than buying a new mobo. And...

    For right now at least, Milkyway is ATI GPU only. The CUDA application for NV is still being worked on. But, oh how the ATI WU's fly. :D -jim

    Could be fun for TAS to take another stab at Enigma. It's currently just over 4MM, and we could target 5. That was a fun project.... -jim

    TAS-member thread for April 2009: Rosetta, Milkyway and SHA Collision

    Double precision calculations are shifting the ppd paradigm... two-zero kay. With an E4500 stock-clocked box, the WU (with the highly optimized app) takes ~30 minutes. With a HD3850 crunching three WU's in parallel? -jim

    TAS-member thread for April 2009: Rosetta, Milkyway and SHA Collision

    For CPU or GPU? GPU is slightly more complicated, but the simplest approach is to uninstall ALL old drivers and then install the ATI 8.12 drivers (for all cards <HD4890) and follow the next part post-reboot: 1) Run CPUID to determine max supported tech of CPU and the proper file to download...

    TAS-member thread for April 2009: Rosetta, Milkyway and SHA Collision

    Not currently. Only the HD38xx and HD48xx cards. That being said, I bought an HD3850 for ~$75 incl. shipping last month and it's capable of ~20k+ ppd if it can get enough WU's. The project is shortly to split into separate CPU/GPU work queues (and scoring) which is intended to make sure...

    TAS-member thread for April 2009: Rosetta, Milkyway and SHA Collision

    Just a reminder for those of you perhaps new to crunching Milky Way. The optimized (and authorized :)) apps are sooo much more efficient than the stock apps. Even more so if you have an ATI HD38xx or HD48xx GPU. When crunching with the GPU BOINC will happily crunch another CPU-bound project...
