I have several pre-FERMI CC 1.1/OpenCL 1.0 GPU's that were dedicated to SETI@Home work but no more work is coming and the project says it maybe completely out of work this weekend. Someone know what other projects these GPU's could work on? Is there a way to see the GPU requirements of all projects at a glance(chart or list)? Thanks. |

I've found WUprop a good tool for finding projects that will run on certain hardware: http://wuprop.boinc-af.org/results/gpu.py My Detailed BOINC Stats ![]() |

I used WUProp@home - Results GPU: http://wuprop.boinc-af.org/results/gpu.py to search for another project for CC 1.1 capable GPU's. Helping fund the project at Bitcoin CUDA will be first priority. According to the link you provided, there are 8 others available for pre-Fermi CC 1.1 GPU's: Albert Collatz DistrRTgen Eistein Milkyway Moo! Poem PrimeGrid. I found a list in the Wiki but the above search has more than the Wiki lists running CUDA units on CC 1.1 (the Wiki needs updating): http://boinc.berkeley.edu/wiki/GPU_computing The page for choosing your project has the nVidia logo after each project that is capable so this page is a great link but it doesn't show the CC lower limits http://boinc.berkeley.edu/projects.php. Thanks again for that wuprop filter, it's great for CPU and GPU comparisons on real BOINC work units which will help me pick the next computer purchase. Now if only they had allowed for direct comparison between ARM, Intel and AMD architectures on the same table to tell at a glance how much they differ. A spreadsheet of performance versus the price of the CPU/GPU would be a great purchasing tool. |
