It would make me feel good inside to know that my graphics card was being used 100% when i was not around :)

Open source - yeah 8-) ...

Nice link, I'll try to read it and hope to understand a bit.

And the thing with the heavily busy graphics card: nothing to add!

Is in your log anything like "... Message from server: (won't finish in time) ..."?

And just read this thread, it maybe helps.

Please enumerate it so we can refer to a special color easier.

I think the intention of green and red is clear, why then an other color? We just have to find a good setup ;-)

Shall we open a poll for the green? :) IMO it's not bright enough but let's wait for other opinions ...

What's about a green between the lime one and the one now?

It's funny how long one can argue about 'green' :D

No, the lime green is not good at all!

You're right, there are better colors but this green is still an improvement :)

This is not a new topic at all, but very interesting. I think an interesting link would be this one: www.gpgpu.org
I never fully understood why this is such a big problem. Otherwise this computation power would still be used by some projects, woundn't it?
I think because of the fact that GPUs are partitially more complex and faster than a CPU this is wasted computing power. Maybe someone can explain whether it is possible or not. :)

Yes, this green is better now :)

erm ... there is the message "This feature is turned off temporarily" when you want to see your pending credit.

1) I think the unbelievable beauty of the green in the "Time reported / or deadline" column in front of this neat grey/blue is hard to read ;-). Could you manage to make it brighter like it was before?

2) The Pending credit feature is off. Is this wanted or an error?

Happy crunching

I think David means that just computing without results for the people that have spent the cycles gets boring somehow. If this is not his opinion it's still mine.


I would be glad if it would be handled a bit more like an other DC project, in words "Muon1 Distributed Particle Accelerator Design" by Stephen Brooks from PPARC.

www.stephenbrooks.org/muon1

There you exactly see what has changed and how much your computations improved the machine and that's it what the donors make happy :-). You can also change specific values of the machine setup and test it. That's cool and more interesting but I think that's not managable with this project.
So, let's hope that we get at least some scientific output, anytime.

I thought photons have no rest mass, but they do have mass while they are moving ... Think about a ray of light that's close to the sun at an total solar eclipse ... the ray will bend! And that because of the gravitation of the sun which interacts with the mass of the photons.

Think about the no-hair-theorem of black holes. It says black holes just have a mass, charge and angular momentum.
-> if neutrinos have no mass and no charge, in my opinion they wouldnt interact with it. But as KiiroiZen / Kotulic Bunta said, they have a kinetic energy and then general theory of relativiy says that this energy equals a (small) mass m=E/c² as you know.

Just a laymens opinion ;) my physics study hasn't just begun ^^
