MilkyWay@home

I don't mean to disappoint the team at Milkyway@home, but I am a Beta tester at World Community Grid and am running work there for a while.

I am back at Milkyway@home and believe I have sorted my computers. Our team just moved up one place in the stats to 8th.

The old Dell PowerEdge T-420 is doing well and loves integer work ( N-body simulations) with benchmark

Measured integer speed

GPU crunching here is on hold during summer heat. I'll be intermittent at best until fall.

If the invalid work continues, I may take a break, too. I have about 500 invalid returns at the moment, and it kills the RAC. It is discouraging to grind away at the jobs when the data have a problem, not my computers.

Perhaps try the Einstein project?

Not yet. This data problem should end whenever the researcher gets it right or his report deadline has been passed.

Ronnie, I added Einstein to my mining rig and cannot understand why Einstein only uses five GPUs instead of 8. I wrote an app_config.xml file and a cc_config.xml file and it still uses only 5 GPUs. From the posts I've read at Einstein they must all be SETI people, e.g. humorless and unhelpful.
