Any ATI and nVidia cards are supported on windows and Linux (32 or 64 bits). Is there any platform that you wanted to be supported? Teemu and I were discussing about not supporting CPUs, since the work generated on CPUs is "too low" vs GPUs. An i7 2600K get like 8 Millions keys/sec while an ATI 4870 does about 550 millions keys/sec. We prefer working on GPU platforms. So, do you think we should support CPUs too?

I do, because I run mostly Windows and I prefer to have the client running as a service, which makes the client unable to get to the GPU on Windows Vista and 7. TIA ID: 176 · Rating: 0 · rate: /

Any possibility of having the CPU client over here too? As I said, I don't have any GPU that qualifies for BOINC. A CPUs represent a really low processing unit for RC5-72 vs a GPU. Our effort is to stabilize everything with GPUs at the moment. CPU units will become available soon. I would say version 1.03 or 1.04 is more realistic. ID: 349 · Rating: 0 · rate: /

Please ensure that CPU work can be enabled/disabled the same way as the GPUs can be. I think it is a fine idea to add CPU support, but personally I want to run only on GPU here.

Please ensure that CPU work can be enabled/disabled the same way as the GPUs can be. Sure, that's a default feature of BOINC server software. I think it defaults to on so people might get some CPU units until they can disable it. There might be a way to disable CPU using work preference so people not wanting CPU crunching should do so. I'm gonna deploy CPU crunchers any day now. -w ID: 438 · Rating: 0 · rate: /
