21) Message boards : GPUs : Ivy Bridge HD 4000 graphics Message 45177 Posted 7 Aug 2012 by zombie67	At least one project is trying to write an app for this now. How is the BOINC development coming along, to "see" the GPU inside the CPU? I don't recall seeing it identified in the start up messages, like with the other GPUs and CPUs.

23) Message boards : Questions and problems : GPU tasks cause MT tasks to sit idle Message 44901 Posted 15 Jul 2012 by zombie67	http://yafu.dyndns.org/yafu/forum_thread.php?id=106 Has this been brought up before? Is there a solution (other than running the MT tasks in a VM)?
24) Message boards : GPUs : Ivy Bridge HD 4000 graphics Message 44576 Posted 21 Jun 2012 by zombie67	OK, when Ivy Bridge is on the market, development will get one for one of their systems and start implementing OpenCL support for Intel GPUs. Possibly that Sandy Bridge (HD2000/HD3000) graphics are supported then as well. So here we are with IB on the market. How is the development coming along?
25) Message boards : BOINC client : Xeon Phi (MIC): Will it crunch? Message 44558 Posted 20 Jun 2012 by zombie67	Not really sure where to post this, so I'll try here. Will BOINC be able to use these, assuming the app was written accordingly? http://www.anandtech.com/show/6017/intel-announces-xeon-phi-family-of-coprocessors-mic-goes-retail
26) Message boards : GPUs : Ivy Bridge HD 4000 graphics Message 43783 Posted 25 Apr 2012 by zombie67	Great! Thanks for looking into this.
27) Message boards : GPUs : Ivy Bridge HD 4000 graphics Message 43728 Posted 24 Apr 2012 by zombie67	Ivy Bridge includes HD4000 graphics on the chip. It is OpenCL. Will BOINC 7.x recognize that as an OpenCL GPU available for crunching?
28) Message boards : BOINC client : Backup projects Message 42367 Posted 31 Jan 2012 by zombie67	Yes, I would like some clarity on this situation too. I can see that it is broken. But what is not clear to me is if that was intentional, or an unanticipated consequence of changing something else. Also, it is not clear to me if the developers are aware of the problem. Ageless? Do you know? Or should we be taking this up with the development team directly?
29) Message boards : BOINC client : Backup projects Message 42182 Posted 22 Jan 2012 by zombie67	I'm still confused by the various 'answers' to arkayn's original question in this thread. Like him, I too use a resource share of zero to create a backup project that only gets to run if the primary project can't supply. Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems to me that the backup project concept is (for the time being) collateral damage until something is done to re-engineer it. Yes, I would like some clarity on this situation too. I can see that it is broken. But what is not clear to me is if that was intentional, or an unanticipated consequence of changing something else.

30) Message boards : BOINC client : Backup projects Message 42173 Posted 21 Jan 2012 by zombie67	Hmm. With 0 + 1, boinc will not download any work beyond just enough to keep all the cores and GPUs busy. No additional cache at all. Maybe "0" breaks the new logic somehow. I just changed it to .5 + .5 and it is downloading more work no. A resource share of 0 is not working. It is continuing to download work, even when there is plenty of work from projects with a RS > 0.
31) Message boards : BOINC client : Backup projects Message 42169 Posted 21 Jan 2012 by zombie67	The current test clients practically only listen to the "connect every xx days" for caching. The Additional Buffer does nothing [from the regular user perspective]. --//-- Ah, well that explains it. I have my set to connect every zero days + 1 day.
32) Message boards : BOINC client : Backup projects Message 42165 Posted 21 Jan 2012 by zombie67	I am a bit confused. Are you saying that (after downloading a single task), BOINC 7.x will continue to request work from a project with a resource share of zero? At least until it somehow learns not to do so? Regardless of cache size, BOINC should not download work from a zero RS project until it is completely out of work, and there is not other way to prevent idle time. Right? Also, how does one get 7.x to actually d/l enough tasks to fill the cache to the set amount? I can't get any more tasks than just enough to keep the CPUs & GPUs running.
33) Message boards : BOINC client : My Wish List Message 42086 Posted 15 Jan 2012 by zombie67	I am sure this has been suggested, but I'll throw it out anyway. I would like a setting in the manager to choose how many tasks to assign to a GPU, without having to mess with an app_info.xml. Most GPU apps are so inefficient, you have to do this app_info.xml nonsense with almost every GPU project.

35) Message boards : The Lounge : BOINC in the News Message 23017 Posted 10 Feb 2009 by zombie67	There is a pretty good 3 page article on DC in the March 2009 issue of CPU. It includes F@H, S@H, and also talks about BOINC. Lots of quotes from DA and Vijay Pande.

36) Message boards : Projects : vtu@home Message 22839 Posted 2 Feb 2009 by zombie67	January 31, 2008 The project server was upgraded to the greatest version ... Also, they are testing beta units, so it you want to participate, you need to enable beta in your prefs.

38) Message boards : Projects : Project TANPAKU Message 20911 Posted 21 Oct 2008 by zombie67	I have had some email conversations with a scientist in Japan. Thanks for going the extra mile to get us some info!
39) Message boards : Promotion : Article about BOINC in CPU magazine Message 20361 Posted 19 Sep 2008 by zombie67	FYI, there is an article about BOINC in the October 2008 issue of CPU magazine. Page 96, under the linux "Warm Up To Penguins" section. I would post a link, but they require an account to read the on-line version.
40) Message boards : The Lounge : New project Message 17243 Posted 8 May 2008 by zombie67	There is also a (live) SHA project: http://boinc.iaik.tugraz.at/sha1_coll_search/
