Hello,
Sorry if I'm wrong or if the topic excites this topic already but I wanted to know if applications for our gpu were planned and if so where did this by ... ? Thank you P.S: I translate with google. |

Yes, WCG is planning to port Help Conquer Cancer to CUDA and studying on

Sekerob,
Earth's precession cycle is 26,000 years..  Do we have to wait that long?  |

Yes, WCG is planning to port Help Conquer Cancer to CUDA and studying on OpenGL. OpenGL or OpenCL? |

When pertaining to GPU crunching it will be OpenCL... that's what the latest 6.10 clients are enabled for and what ATI cards require as code to do GPU crunching, under BOINC :O)

Sekerob,
Does that mean GPU-based crunching is going to be a reality here at WCG within 26,000-years faster than Earth's precession cycle? Just wondering..  ; |

More Cryptique: Things will happen eventually, like Earth's Precession is inexorable, or as I said "It's all about doing it right in a way that it does not need an IT science degree and does not interfere with regular system use, the quickest way to loose volunteers."

Sekerob,
Ok. As they say: no harm, no foul. But your team can be called for "delay of offense" and that GPU touchdown seems unreachable still.  ; |

Hello fredski
----------------------------------------One word can make all the difference. You missed out the word "seem". The phrase "seems unreachable" is not quite the same as "unreachable". Close, but not close enough. Another thing that you missed to consider is the time dimension. WCG has been evasive in giving a time frame for the targetDate for a GPU implementation. Sekerob's choice of words to express a remote future for a targetDate is the Earth's precession cycle, or 26,000 years. Metaphorically, the word suggests the longest of times, and by extension, as good as unreachable, but not quite unreachable, and therefore -- "seems unreachable". ; [Edit 2 times, last edit by Former Member at May 31, 2010 2:58:53 PM] |
