![]() They are trying to port their acemd app to ATI and they do have one working but I have no idea how well it performs or how stable it I am a credit whore and proud of it. they didn't require many many hours or days to crunch themĪs for many credits projects, GPUGRID is one of them but requires NVIDIA cards. There were a few projects (don't recall which atm) in the past that got famous for giving insane amount of credits but their work units weren't any different from other projects, i.e. I should save those CPU cycles for projects that cant run on GPUs.Ĭredits not always reflect the amount of work done or the importance of it. My impression is that i shouldn't waste CPU cycles on projects that GPUs does far better. Edit: None of them seems to have any work. I never heard of OP or but i will read about them now and maybe try it tomorrow. I just started on a Collats WU now to see how efficient it works. "Credit whoring" is not a perfect way of getting the most science out of my hardware, but i don't know any better way.Ĭredits matter - its a measure of work done.Ĭoleslaw: Thanks. I won't support badly coded projects that crank out few FLOPS. I want to use my CPU and GPU cycles as efficient as possible. Some problems can be run efficiently on GPUs, some don't because of their non-parallel nature. Microchip: Credits are based on FLOPS, the amount of calculations my computer does. Perhaps someone else can give a positive helpful answer to that part of your question. I am not positive on CPU points as I haven't really looked into it for a long time. GPUGrid typically favors nVidia cards and pays well. OP, Collatz probably pays the best for AMD video cards. Credit whoring still brings users to help DC projects. Not just scientists tackling complex problems. Sorry I didn't answer your question at all, but I get irritated by "credit whores". You wanna do proper BOINC? How about chosing a few projects you care about their problem and throwing all you can at it? The credits system is just a gimmick and a side effect Why are you focusing on credits? Are you one of those "credit whores"? BOINC is about helping scientists tackle complex problems in cases where buying computing time on a supercomputer is too costly or not possible for other reasons.
