Thx for the reply and pointing me to the right article.

Seems the laptops will stay very cool... :(
Unless someone has a trick ?? ;)

Thx

You would have to purchase a gaming laptop with a discrete Nvidia gpu.

GPUGrid can only use Nvidia gpus. Not AMD or Intel.

Congratulations. I just bought a new pc recently, when I don't play games I can help a little.

I really think F@H needs to work in BOINC so that way if units are not being sent out you can do other work.

Those Stanford guys are too arrogant to use BOINC. I've been telling them that for years. It's hopeless.

They did for a while - they gave it up due to the extra headache and no real benefit to them.

That said though - a smart programmer could set it up quite easily as a third party.

I'm here because of the same reason than others here: F@H has too less WUs and i didn't want to waste PC time when i let my PC run 24/7 for Covid19 stuff.

I already use rosetta@home for CPU and Boinc itself since over 10 years (seti@home and WCG projects) and i must say i like it much more than F@H.

So i hope i could help with my RTX GPU a bit more here than on F@H.

But how can you see if a task is a Covid19 task here? The rosetta one have it in his name.

I found BOINC after Folding at home was having a work shortage due to the COVID-19 effort. Much better UI. Plenty of PC's laying around to put to use, just wish there was a tax write-off for all this energy I'm using on behalf of science!

I don't think that GPUGRID has Covid19 tasks available at this point

Ok, but it is planned?

Is this true? Why can one check the AMD mark in preferences then?

AMD GPU would be cool!

Kind regards

yes, that's the case

Folding@home director Greg Bowman says they have reached 470 petaflops, while a pool of supercomputers including Summit and Sierra hava totalled 330 petaflops.
I simple don't believe Bowman

Greetings All

Here is an article that does a good job on explaining.

I just reactivated my account, I think I was 10 years inactive. I activated solely due to support Covid research with my computing power..

Sadly you won't be able to crunch with GTX 285, it's too old.

If I am not missing anything, GPUGRID volunteers doubled the number of active hosts in the last month. It may have been either due to the closing of seti@home, or a consequence of folding at home’s covid effort.

Interestingly the total awarded credits per day hasn't changed much:

That's cuz the heavy metal's been here all along.

Rosetta@home is only one of the fifty odd BOINC projects. All of them use about 30 petaflops. The COVID-19 supercomputer pool reaches 330 petaflops. To say that
Folding@home reaches 470 petaflops is simply ridiculous.

The COVID-19 supercomputer pool reaches 330 petaflops. Tullio

What's this pool???

It is a consortium of US firms and scientific institutions incluudin the top 1 and 2 of the Top500 list. Summit (1) alone reaches 148 petaflops.

-1) I think that a signicative number of new hosts derived from Seti@home closing are based on AMD, Intel, or old Nvidia GPUs, currently not viable at GPUGrid...

-2) It's curious to see the spike derived from this affair.

Hello, I have a similar problem (or rather anomaly) - my credit got quadrupled today from ~70k to ~280k. I noticed that I finished a long GPU task, but why is this one particular task worth so much?...

It was actually a mistake in the MDADeq series. Will be fixed in the next series.

I'm here because F@H caused me to look at my BOINC processes and I saw I had underutilized GPU resources. It doesn't hurt that SETI is done for now.

I can't post elsewhere and the contact email address isn't responding. Can anyone help me figure out why all my tasks fail? closing in on 2 weeks of crunching and no support to make it fruitful. http://www.gpugrid.net/results.php?userid=554223
