4) Message boards : Number crunching : I am gonna get a multicore CPU, how does Boinc handle this?? (Message 42772) Posted 28 Jun 2007 by Zoomer30 Post: I dont think I can get a MC CPU for my current mobo (Asus K8V). Dont really want to mess with it either, since I have already installed my XP the max times I can, dont want to have to do that again.
5) Message boards : Number crunching : I am gonna get a multicore CPU, how does Boinc handle this?? (Message 42762) Posted 28 Jun 2007 by Zoomer30 Post: I have always wonderd how it does this. Does it see more then one core and just automattically download more work? Or do you have to tell it how to do it?? Anyone with multi-core CPUs please clue me in on how this works :)
6) Message boards : Number crunching : 80 cores, not science fiction ... it is real! 1.2 TERA! (Message 42761) Posted 28 Jun 2007 by Zoomer30 Post: Could be something along the lines of what the PS3 CELL does. It has one CPU and 8 SPUs (Synergistic Processing Units). Not sure though.

(Message 42747) Posted 28 Jun 2007 by Zoomer30 Post: I did that with Rosetta for a few weeks and then when I started CP up again (I had told it to SUSPEND) then I stopped getting Rosetta WUs. Something to do with the debts and all that. I finally had to reset the debt doc just to get Boinc to work the way I like again. I like the bio-science the best I think. Seti is cool and all but the chances of it making a difference are slim (more then likly it would take us 40 years or more to say HELLO to each other any way). I sometimes think it would cool if there were other advanced civs near us, then again I think it would be not so cool, since you have to figure we would be ants to their big fly swatter :) I also run Folding@Home on my PS3. I really have to cut down though. I dont feel good about running this stuff and having the air off when I am at work, but last month I left the air on a lot and I used over 1110 Kwh of power XD Ouch! The winter will be a different tune. Its cheaper to run the PS3 and the PC 24/7 and it keeps the apartment warm, rather then use the electric heat :)

(Message 42722) Posted 27 Jun 2007 by Zoomer30 Post: Seti has been around since day one (I think it was the FIRST DC application) so it must be pretty much full. I may just stick with what I have and add more when i get a new PC.

10) Message boards : Number crunching : When is "one more project" one too many? (Message 42717) Posted 27 Jun 2007 by Zoomer30 Post: I am trying to find the correct mix of projects and also make sure I am letting my projects get good work done. Right now I am doing ClimatePrediction, Rosetta, Spinhedge, LHC@Home and World Comm Grid. I am thinking about starting Seti again. The issue I have is this: Is there a point where your running so many projects that none are getting much done?
11) Message boards : Number crunching : Why no R@h work downloading? I also run SETI (Message 42144) Posted 13 Jun 2007 by Zoomer30 Post: It got done with the last work a couple days ago and now as not downloaded any new ones. How do I force it to download again?
12) Message boards : Rosetta@home Science : Boinc/Rosetta on the Xbox 360? (Message 42143) Posted 13 Jun 2007 by Zoomer30 Post: I dont want to start a "console war" here but I really dont think the 360 can handle the heat that is generated when you are running a program like this. I work at Target and I have seen numerous people who are on their 2nd or 3rd 360 already, simply due to heat issues killing the machines. The PS3 is much better in this area and really has no heat issues. I have been running Folding@Home on my pretty much non stop since April 20 and already have over 130 WUs done. Nothing against the 360 per se (ok the controller makes me nauseous :) ) but they need to fix the heat issues.
