Re: Has CUDA been considered for this project?

Since millions of people have a Timex watch, can we port at least one of these applications to a Timex. I really really think that this is a really really great idea that someone else should do.

I have wanted to post this question for months. biggrin



I have a Timex usb datalink watch. This is almost possible. Just that the application would have to be shortened to a few thousand lines of Assembly code and the work units would have to be less than a kilobyte. Then we can load work units to watches via USB. Yep, its gonna work. There is even an active programming community to help out.

For the gullible: I'm kidding

Re: Has CUDA been considered for this project?

I see a few folks have gotten the intent of my original post. For the rest, I was making fun of the incessant (and already answered many times) questions regarding CUDA and the like.

I have no interest in starting any arguments and sincerely hope the admins delete this thread immediately should it degenerate into such. I was just hoping to start up a little fun.

Re: Has CUDA been considered for this project?

I got it too, and I liked the Timex watch posts. smile
But since some have started again on a serious mode I tried to remind one of the reasons why all this discussion is (currently) futile. smile

However I see no need for locking or deleting this thread as long as people understand that it calls for a few jokes and as long as they stay civilized.

Cheers. Jean.

Answer:IBM


Sorry, forgot to mention, here's the new prime number generator I borrowed from PrimeGrid!!

// Prime number calculator
#include <iostream>
#include <cmath>
using namespace std;

int main() {

int number , x;
bool isprime;

for (number = 1; number <= 10000; number++) {
isprime = true;
for (x = number; x > 1; x--) {
if(number != x) {
if((number % x) == 0) {
isprime = false;
}
}
}
if(isprime == true) {
cout << " " << number;
}
}

return 0;
}

But, I do(despite being a Brit), enjoy COLD beer, so I'm off to get another!!

Re: Has CUDA been considered for this project?

Reply with quote and you see the post code, works even after a few beers I'm sure. Or, right click in Firefox and chose "view page source". It's how I hack sometimes something from a web page they don't want you to see, particular those heavy add laden ones.
