News Testing of a CUDA-enabled version of AQUA's application has started 25-May-2009 The AQUA@home project needs enourmous computing resources, so we have been working on using NVidia GPUs to reduce the running time of our application. We are happy to announce that version 3.00 of AQUA's application, supporting NVidia CUDA cards under Microsoft Windows, is now available for testing. Linux and Mac versions will follow in the next few weeks. We hope to gradually increase the performance of this version. I totally missed this. I am going to check it out. It appears their wu's use BOTH CPU and GPU.  GPU projects are poping up all over.  Where are we in the GPU project world? How many active projects do you know of? Dr. Mike..  |

Blizzie is right. This suggests the next gen is going to be out very soon and that investing in an i7 at this juncture would be ill-advised. |

I will chill grasshopper.. Dr. Mike By the way, how is the new job going? I start Monday.. Monday is an "orientation" day, which translates into meeting a bunch of people I will hardly ever see, getting my e-mail account, talking to some benefits people.. 401k, medical, dental, etc. Tuesday is my first "real" work day with actual human child patient contact.. lol. I can't wait! been away from helping kids for way TOO LONG.. Don't think i'll get an i7 right now.. just a little compulsive I guess.. sigh.. Mike.. |

what's an OEM? never heard that term used before... The following has been clipped from Wikipedia: An original equipment manufacturer, or OEM is typically a company that uses a component made by a second company in its own product, or sells the product of the second company under its own brand. The specific meaning of the term varies in different contexts. OEM hardware is typically no different than retail hardware, with the exception of bulk pricing not available to the normal consumer, including all cables, software and manuals. The OEM, aka computer solution builder will include these materials in the finished product. The exceptions to this would be large manufacturers who will order specialized modifications to the equipment resulting in a specialized replacement parts niche. OEM is sometimes used synonymously with the term bulk hardware. |

OEM is sometimes used synonymously with the term bulk hardware. Good description! When I asked about OEM, I was actually referring to computer companies such as Dell or HP. For Dr. Mike, I would still go with the $799 Dell if he is itching to get one right away. Another $125-$150 for a GTX 260, and perhaps get a student version of Microsoft Office for about $100. Otherwise, I would just wait until September when the new chip comes out. The GTX and Office can be moved to the new computer when he upgrades, so those expenses aren't lost, anyway... And even if he doesn't upgrade right away, it's still a nice computer at a nice price.
