Es gibt jetzt wohl auch AMD und windows Anwendungen für GPU

[gemini8]

Oh - interessant.

Durch die letzten Optimierungen ist nun Subfield 5 abgeschlossen.

Generell scheint es nun gut voran zu schreiten.

Es gibt neue GPU Apps.

So a fellow cruncher named Khalim helped me by uploading the code to github, but it is currently private. The plan was to make this public at some point. Once I finish my latest "improvements" and the code is in a better state, I will make it public. Khalim also helped with some testing scripts that will allow users to fine tune parameters for their specific GPU, and then these parameters can be put in a lookup table to benefit users with the same GPU.

Vielleicht gibt es dann bald optimierte apps wenn es mal Opensource ist

Der Sourcecode der App wurde nun veröffentlicht:

I just added support for Intel GPUs. There are 2 versions - 64 bit linux and 64 bit windows, both require openCL 1.1 or higher.

I don't have an Intel GPU, so I can't test them. But it's the same openCL code that works on other GPUs, so in theory they should work. For the linux version, it was just a matter of downloading the Intel openCL SDK and then linking against Intel's include files and libraries. For the windows version, I cross compiled using mingw64 as I do with AMD/Nvidia cards.

Since they are new and untested, I made them beta apps.

Gibt nun auch eine App für Intel GPU

Heute Nacht schon aktiviert. Intel und beta ist gewählt. Nichts.

We are taking a break from subfield 3 and resuming the search over subfield 6.

The main reason for this is we have not found anything new in about 6 months. It's hard to put a percentage on it, but I am 99.99% confident that this search over sf3 is complete. It seems resources would be better spent on a search that will actually find new fields.

We can always finish sf3 at a later time, if for no other reason than to say it is complete with 100% confidence.

Die neuen WUs aus sf6 läufen aktuell deutlich schneller leider geben sie auch nur noch angepasst weniger credits, hatte schon gehofft dass man vielleicht nen Vorteil bei Formula Boinc herausholen konnte
