Jeff Hammersmark 2003-04-01 20:56:32 | I just want to know: If the first stage of the project has been completed, is the work being done now just repetitive or does it have some importance as well. Also, I belong to SETI@home right now so give me some reasons I should join this project......kinda for fun, kinda to get a feel for the project. |
[DPC]Stephan202 2003-04-01 21:55:31 | ATM the optimal designs are found, so there's no scientific need to help with this version. In about a week, however, a new version will be released. That version will simulate something different. And then the optimzation can start again. So in about a week this project will be of use again --- Dutch Power Cow. MOOH! |
Jeff Hammersmark 2003-04-09 11:52:17 | So is this "new version" everyone is talking about now (v4.3 i believe) the one that simulates something different? I thought it was going to be v 5 ?? |
Stephen Brooks 2003-04-10 13:46:34 | v5 will simulate something different. v4.3 (oddly) simulates _less_ than v4.2x, but optimises in a better way than v3.x did when it last did this part of the machine. It serves as a good test case of the new architecture before I put all the new components in. Today's weather in %region is Sunny/(null), max. temperature -99999°C |
[AMD Users]Core 2003-04-21 06:57:09 | you dont have to just choose one project to be a part of, you can use many at the same time. I have Muon and Find-A-Drug running in the background and SETI@Home as a screensaver because I couldnt decide which one I wanted to do. Most of these programs share system resources quite well (SETI@Home is the only exception I've found, it hogs the entire CPU) |
