Posted 5 May 2010 by Ben Post: Evening all, Any information on an open-source project to port the Fortran 6-track code to something more current? I admit I skimmed the majority of the thread! For what it\'s worth, I\'m a geophysicist programming under .NET (we all have crosses to bear, eh?). It would be nice to start a side project looking into OpenCL or CUDA while we wait for more WU.

Posted 26 Apr 2010 by Ben Post: ... Hey all, Could I suggest a collaborative effort under (e.g.) .Net? The Windows/Intel platform is established but those lucky few geniuses (genii?) with Mono running on Linux boxes could contribute to the overall build. Whilst such an app will not run as fast as native code, it will speed the development; any good optimisations can be left to the compiler, CUDA/Stream/OpenCL capability added and all peer-reviewed through Sourceforge/SubVersion. Straight-line speed aside, is wider uptake with support for multi-core and/or capable graphics not attractive? Most of my BOINC installs are on laptops with WinXP on Core 2 Duo hardware with variable GPU ability; most desktops are CPU-heavy with little need for GPU support. Attempting to rally popular support, my name is Spartacus! Are you with me?! Ben |

Cafe LHC :
New work
(Message 21760)
Posted 13 Dec 2009 by Ben Post: Firstly, I would like to thank the developers of LHC@home for the chance to contribute to the LHC and associated projects. It is an outstanding achievement, both in engineering and scientific terms, escpecially given that LHC is running in excess of 1TeV. Thanks also for the forum moderators and other project involveds for the occasional update. Mostly I would like to ask the LHC@home developers for the vaguest of timeframes for new work units. I have had LHC@home idle for a long time and note that others on the fora have started to become impatient. I crunch for around 7 other BOINC projects, so the downtime is not wasted, but a revival of LHC@home would be timely. Perhaps the New Year will bring some news! Ben |
