The result of my PSA test is in, a good reading is <4.00.
----------------------------------------Following a kidney infection on 9/26/11 my PSA tested 8.22 My urologist suspected the high reading was due to the infection and it appears he was correct. On 10/11/11 my PSA tested 4.7 which is trending downwards. Everyone should know cancer symptoms and follow-up on them.  Be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some battle.

What are you using to monitor CPU temperature(s)?
----------------------------------------I like Open Hardware Monitor because it shows CPU & GPU temperature. http://openhardwaremonitor.org/ Is there something out there that is better? Be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some battle. Please join the team The survivors |

So true. Early detection - acting on the suspicion you don't want to face - improves survival chances immensely. |

RCC, thats great news from the Dr. One of the few instances when we like to see things trending down!
----------------------------------------I only have one box with useable GPU, dont remember seeing GFLOPS mentioned in messages, will investigate. I use Linux these days so no fancy pants Temp monitors for me, just the command line interface  Ho Hum....   |

sunfolk, do you see better results using Linux vs Windows?
----------------------------------------I see that there are quad core computers for around US$249 or less but some have Vista as an OS. I thought that maybe Linux would be better at crunching.

sunfolk, do you see better results using Linux vs Windows? Its been years since I crunched for points, I do it for humanity now.So I`m not the best person to ask the linux/windoze question. But from the few posts I have seen in recent weeks that touch on the subject the serious crunchers seem to favour 64bit linux,8 core hyperthreaded. I think at least one of the advantages with linux, is less overhead to run the desktop. ie 99.999 cpu can be used to crunch, windows will use some cpu (10-20% I dunno?) to make itself look pretty  Sekerob would be the man to ask, in this thread |

There is a new BOINC Manager download available. http://boinc.berkeley.edu/download.php
----------------------------------------The 64 bit version mentions the ability to use GPU if you have it. They removed the messages tab and added an event log under Advanced. Be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some battle. Please join the team The survivors |

We are now #5 in HFCC pulling ahead of China Hamburg Komplott.
----------------------------------------Still #7 in HCC and it does not look like we can improve on that. I am quite happy with our results, thanks everyone for your contribution.

I'm using 32-bit Linux (Ubuntu) because it's much easier to get up to date applications in 32-bit than 64-bit. There is a temperature monitoring application for Debian distributions : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SensorInstallHowto
----------------------------------------What it monitors depends on the type of processor(s) you have. On my AMD quad-core it just gives me one temperature. On my new Intel I7 quad-core I get a temperature for every core, plus a GPU temperature. It's good to hear about WCG starting a beta for GPU usage -- I'll go ahead and enable the GPU on my Intel Quad-core box. The GPU on my AMD box is so old and feeble that BOINC doesn't even recognize it. [Edit 1 times, last edit by Former Member at Oct 19, 2011 3:59:20 AM] |

I'm using 32-bit Linux (Ubuntu) <snip> Yeah me too, dont really have any need for 64bit. But Gpu crunching on WCG would make me switch. |
