I'm pushing to get 10000 seti units done by the end of the project which should be in a few months. I'm coming up on 7000 right now. If you've got some spare cpu cycles, I'd really really appreciate them :smile: s signature has been formatted to fit your scr

Hi, I hope iv put this post in the right place. For my college assignment I have to answer the question "how groupware can affect network planning" iv searched all over the Internet but im still stuck! please help.

I tried out <A HREF="http://www.porivo.com/peernetwork/jsp/application.jsp?Referrer=fu_hasi" target="_new">Gomez Peer </A>a few months ago. After spending three or four weeks in the “pending” status (or whatever it’s called), I got tired of giving them my CPU cycles for free. Today, out of the...

Really. They do. I was having problems with mplayer and dvds today as I'm finalizing my gentoo setup. It was taking for-damn-ever to get the program to cache anything, and even then it'd lock right after. So I did a search on dvd and mplayer on their forums and found a problem with mplayer not...

sweet! an isolated forum all to myself!! RIP Block Heater....HELLO P4~~~~~ 120% nVidia Fanboy+119% Money Fanboy GeForce 6800 Ultra--> The Way we thought FX 5800Ultra is meant to be played THGC's resident Asian and nVboy :D

I've been in a folding team for a little while now (I thought I would try to help out a team started by a friend of mine) but I think it would be nice to start a THG folding team. Anyone else have any thoughts on this? <A HREF="http://service.futuremark.com/compare?2k1=6752830"...

Check it out on their page. They're gearing up to switch over to BOINC. I'm sticking with it. Some day I'll be rich and famous for inventing a device that allows you to stab people in the face over the internet.

i wanna know whats all this about UD, seti, etc. i know UD is like sharing your computer resources for research and seti is for searching signals (or something) but i dont know exactly what they are. why is it interesting? why should i get into it? whats so fun about this...

I downloaded UD on both of my machines, a Athlon 1700+ (listed below) and a P4 1.4ghz. I havent joined any group yet. I set my profile to work only when the screen saver is on, and I usually leave my systems on all day and night. I also do both the smallpox and cancer research, the cancer...

hmmm. I signed up for cure for cancer crunching, not smallpox. And as such i disabled the crunch smallpox tickbox in my device profile manager... yet im still getting and crunching smallpox jobs. WTF? <font color=blue>Many modern games <b>must</b> be played multiplayer. And those you encounter...

Woot. Broke the 100K points milestone in UD last night: 100061 points with 259 days, 10 hours, 18 min. what a load of crunching! :) ONWARD! (And no im not affiliated with any team... im an evil rogue individual cruncher!) <b>My PC is so powerful it it makes a 286-16 look slow!</b> :lol: <A...

It was cool to see that THG started to use SETI as a benchmark:).But there isn't much info given about it. For instance how come the 2 P4 3GHz CPUs are so much faster than the other P4's?.AFAIK HT can't be accounting for it so what gives?. Anyone any ideas? Here's a thred I started about it...

I have never done Set@home, but I know that many have. I found this on <A HREF="http://www.arstechnica.com/" target="_new">http://www.arstechnica.com/</A> I know there are a lot of decent people on these boards, our support should be up for any in need. Im going to post this here and in the...

Hey guys, This is the first time that i've entered this forum and i just read all the talk about UD and stuff. Whats UD??? and whats this forum about anyway i thought it was just about sharing small utilities so never bothered to take a look. Thanx <b><font color=blue>Saddam: "Dude where's...

I checked my work machine installation today to see what ligand it was working on and see this message : 1. I am certain that small pox in the wild is extinct and only the U.S. and possibly Russia still warehouse viable samples 2. the vaccine for this disease has proven by the above fact that...

I'm not sure, but I believe UD will sell your volunteered CPU time to companies. Last time I looked, they even tell you that on their website. There's other places that resources can go to. Folding@home and Genome@home, SETI@home, distributed.net (at least you can actually make money if you're...

I've just about made the top 25 now on the THG team... I just passed Fatburger and have my sights set on Owl! (That is you isn't it...Owl645807?) <b>You will Never Catch me</b> <font color=blue>HOSED = Horrific operating system error detected</font color=blue>

I just looked and he is missing from the THG SETI team... What happened? Scout 700 Mflops in SETI!

I'll admit, I haven't done any research on this, but I was wondering if any of you guys know off the top of your head which CPU works better on the UD Cancer/Smallpox resarch projects? These work units seem so variable that I can't tell from just looking at progress over time on each machine...
