Sam is it possible to get a small picture of your supercomputers, just to have us drooling.Quote:

Eta,
I see that you are ready to engage your computing WARP engines and join SAM in that very exclusive 1,000,000 PPD BOINC points club.
Excellent work...:clap:
You can view a picture of one of Sam's rig at post #3 of the "7xxx sexiness" thread http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...=1#post5151646 If you read on, Sam does provide a few more details about that particular rig.

Nice work, guys!
I moved the 3 7950's to one hex rig and added a new 7970, the numbers are still going up!
I am not in the club yet. But a few minutes ago my two new black holes two ASUS HD 7970 Direct CU II went into orbit. This should definitively allow the hyperspace jump over 1M Boinc points/day.Quote:

Think one thread of your hex cores per GPU WU so a max of 12 per hex cpu..Quote:

Boggles my mind to think what this could do with 3-7970's running 32 GPU WU at once..:rofl:

Sam was originally using 3 X 7970 cards on that rig with a 3930 CPU with 8 X ATI GPU WUs threads per card. One video card packed it in and he switched the two remaining card to a a new unknown config (likely 12 X ATI GPU WUs per card). Whatever he ended up settings gave him a PPD production that almost equaled that of the previous 3 video card setup. With a 3930 CPU and 2 HD 7970s doubling the CPU to 24 and running 12 ATI GPU WUs per card may just be that rig sweet spot. Each cpu likely as its own sweet spot depending on the two video card you team them with. likely applies to singleton video card setup as well. The rig that has your 3960 cpu in it might just be the one to experiment with.
Can't wait to see what them new ASUS HD 7970 Direct CU II will do for you.
Let me know what Pluto looks like when you warp by...!!!
Sam, I see that you are not laying back and letting a young Swiss lion's challenge go without a fighting response. Looks like you might be headed for a 2 million PPD BOINC points goal.
Eta, I forecast avalanches and melting snow caps in your vicinity.
Excellent work for both of you....
jeanguy2, unfortunately Pluto was a kind of very fuzzy oval distorted shape, and Charon was unvisible. Probably this is due to me passing Warp 1 speed too near Pluto. Now heading towards Proxima :)
I understand what your saying. Warp 1 Earth to Pluto 5H 28 mins. You were definitely moving. If proceeding to Proxima in the Alfa Centauri system suggest you increase speed to at least Warp 8 (1024 X c) for an estimated travel time of roughly 73.5 Hours. Warp 8 travel Earth to Pluto would have taken you 19 mins.Quote:

Proxima is too far. I change plan, lets go and visit the fabulous liquid Hydrogen fountains of Eris just twice the distance from Pluto. I will have time to wander in the Kuiper belt, around see the beautiful ice sculpted canyons of Haumea, and the fantastic caves with liquid helium lakes of Makemake :eek:
Eta,
Sure glad to see you are going to keep your speed down and leave a few HCC GPU WUs for the rest of the XS WCG team to crunch.
Happy trails.... Keep a long range sensor on for them unplotted asteroid fields.
Later on today I shall use NASA's long range scanners to view your wonderful destinations. :)
I always learn something new everytime Eta posts :up:
I will leave my slice of the pie, for a few days. I am sure some of you will be happy to taste it. I am flying now with the blue angels, and then will be back.
I'm still kinda shocked that I'm actually getting a piece of pie. Might be short lived, but it sure is tasty. :)
Do not swallow this delicious slice of pie too quickly. Take your time. It will taste longer. :rofl:Quote:
