It seems that GPU crunching is changing WCG. At least when I look at my points and run time. Getting nearly twice as many points in same amount of running time than running with CPU only. If there are any geeks out there, here's a pretty cool presentation on what's now possible with "heterogeneous parallelism": http://channel9.msdn.com/posts/AFDS-Keynote-H...neous-Computing-and-C-AMP Skip to 27:30 for a visual demo. It's exciting technology and I can only hope that WCG continues to support/embrace it:) On one of my machines I'm getting over 35x more results with a high end gfx card than with cpu alone (5 cores, 1 GPU allocated). On another, about 15x more with a mid-level card (1 core, 1 GPU allocated). The amount of research that can potentially be achieved once the software catches up just blows my mind.. |

Sure! Want to parse the users and teams?

Well, partly. But what I really want is a general procedure for pulling the schema out of any .xml file.
----------------------------------------I know I can do it by reading the file into a gridbox in VB, but I think there is a an option for readxml to walk the nodes and just pull out the schema so that it can then be written to an xsd file. I know I should probably just use the grid method but it bothers me because it seems to choke on "defects" in the file like empty nodes even though when you subsequently read the schema that part works. Anyway, not a big deal, don't worry about it. I see you posted in SNURK's thread - COOL! Give him a few days or so. Sometimes he's busy IRL.

It occurred to me that I wasn't very clear about the method I meant in my last post, so here is a link if you're interested - although I'm sure you would probably never do it this way - http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ekw4dh3f%28v=VS.71%29.aspx
----------------------------------------Apparently some magic happens when you read the xml file into the datagrid so that when you issue the following command, you're able to grab the schema - ' Visual Basic Dim swXML As New System.IO.StringWriter() dsAuthors.WriteXmlSchema(swXML) TextBox1.Text = swXML.ToString What I've been trying to do is find a way to read the schema without having to read the file into a datagrid since some of the files are pretty huge. I know I can do it by walking the nodes but that's tedious. There has to be either a command or code snippet that will perform the same function as reading the file into a datagrid for the purpose of pulling out the schema, I just can't seem to find it and I'm being really stubborn about refusing to do it the hard way.  |

Yeah, the dataset way is a little.. wonky. This might be what you're looking for if you need to infer the schema at runtime: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/syste...erence%28v=vs.100%29.aspx There's also the Xsd.exe tool if you need a quick conversion (not sure if it comes with VS Express though). Or dl a trial of XmlSpy.. or maybe another xml editor. I've only ever used an xsd to validate incoming xml, so now i'm a little curious as to what you're trying to do:) If it's just to pull and parse, you probably don't need an xsd. I can throw something together pretty quickly if that's the goal. Hope this helps.. [Edit 1 times, last edit by Former Member at Feb 22, 2013 6:49:49 AM] |

Oh yeah baby, talk that funky syntax to me. You know what I like!!!
----------------------------------------Damn. That's exactly what I was looking for - I think. Except there's no way I ever would have found it since I don't actually know jack about XML. That is SOOO cool!! In terms of why I want to do that? Uh . . . well . . . I don't actually need it for reading the stats files, but when I used to code for a living, I always liked to code general purpose routines that I could recycle and it always would irritate me if I had to hardcode something. It's just one of those little bugs that tends to crawl up my butt. It's hard to explain. |

Thanks rilian! As of the last update we are at position 101 in the WCG stats but the morning BOINC stats have us at 95 which should mean that by tonight, we should be officially in the top 100 on both sides.
----------------------------------------Something else I should have mentioned (but I'm such a points wh***) is that by results, we are at position 90 in WCG. We still have a way to go on runtime at position 126 though.   |

hey mates, congrats on taking 1st O_O place on Small Team Race - Feb 2013
----------------------------------------http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/team/challe...lenge.do?challengeId=5444 ps: yeah we had the same issues with WCG vs BOINC rating, i do not know why it happens |

Cool. Thanks for that info rilian!
----------------------------------------There's still 4 days to go but I guess that's a convincing lead. I'll have to start paying more attention to these things. Not sure why I haven't in the past. I think it was because I was never sure where the info was listed but it's right there on the WCG team page, at the bottom (d'oh!) [Edit 1 times, last edit by twilyth at Feb 24, 2013 12:01:55 AM] |
