smile GPU (and linux)

Hi all !
First of all sorry for my english, I'm French (joke)

I have 2 questions.

First, will ever HCMD use the processing power of GPUs ?
Second, what cards will be supported ? Only recent ones like in other BOINC projects ? I'm eager to use my AGP 8x Radeon 9600 card lol. But will it (and other directx 9 / opengl 2.0 cards) be ever supported ?

And how about linux portability ?

Thanks for all answers !

Re: GPU (and linux)

Answer for the first question (at least): https://secure.worldcommunitygrid.org/forums/...ead,27885_offset,0#256891

Edit: And this, from the Project's scientists themselves: https://secure.worldcommunitygrid.org/forums/...ad,24103_offset,60#255333

So I don't think there will be GPU crunching for this Project in the foreseeable future.

Re: GPU (and linux)

BOINC is available for different varieties of linux, instructions for installing it can be found here .

Some flavours have a ready made package available to install via the package manager used to update or install software. I know Ubuntu and Kbuntu do. wink

WCG runs well on a linux system.

Re: GPU (and linux)

I´m using Windows, but I think Collatz Conjecture is a BONIC GPU Linux project and GPUGrid with Linux 64-bit.

GPUGRID has at least a GPU application for 64-bit Linux, but not for 32-bit Linux.

They don't make it clear if they're also running Linux at their end.
