If it runs Windows 32/64 and understands OpenCL, you will be the man... but, since WCG has to maintain separate builds for ATI and NVidia, there would have to be one for the Phi [kicking the open door], and chances that coming with 1 on the grid asking for work... But, there's the other hurdle to take too... BOINC must be coded to recognize a Phi as co-processor, so you'd have to talk to Dr. David Anderson. The rule is, without exception, no Dr.A consent, no BOINC change. [so much for open source, but then anyone is free to take the BOINC source code from the repository and start coding themselves. Once upon a time some capable folk did and came up with http://code.google.com/p/synecdoche/ but it stranded. One of the coders, a former CA, build an alternate preferences interface which was so much smarter [I've tested it]. Sadly, some things just end up like this http://www.garlikov.com/philosophy/Sisyphus.html (become a CA and you might see a fraction ;P P.S. I doubt the Intel guy even knew what BOINC was, so he may have been embarrassed on that point ;) I know for sure that he knows what BOINC is. He ran it a while back..I have access to some of the best software people in the world if needed, still trying to get one in my grubby little hands.. ![]() ![]() |

Phi will come in original 3100-series flavor , plus saucy 5100 and 7100 series as well. This year should see the following models - 5120D, 3120A, 3120P, 7120P and 7120X. See the link for details.
----------------------------------------If I've read the article correctly, the 31xx's will be available in 1Q. The new ones should be unveiled in May and available between May 1 and the end of July. Both the 31xx and 51xx put out about 1 tera flop but with different performance 'envelope' I guess you'd say. For example the 3100 has a TDP of 300W but the 5100 is 225. ![]() ![]() ![]() [Edit 2 times, last edit by twilyth at Apr 25, 2013 10:59:24 AM] |
