I ran across this web site while looking for info on the gtx280.  I think everyone should get into this that does folding at home and win free stuff and even those of us that don't, here is the url

Not that I know of. I don't know why it wasn't ported, it's the second largest DC project around. They do have a rather dedicated following, though. You can't tell me the project wouldn't benefit from the massive amounts of computing power available from BOINC users.

Being involved with a site that had such a following soured me from that project, though. The leaders there would go through any lengths to protect the little clique of FAH users there. So much so that they had a massive split internally several years before our massive split from the site. I don't really want to drag this up again, I only comment about it for my personal reasons why that is the one project I avoid, and to a lesser extent, other folding projects. While certainly a good bet for the type of very real advances in medicine, and the one type that stands above most to real gains in it's field, the fanatical leadership I've been exposed to says no way. I suspect many of our members have long memories also.

trader_1, we have been using CUDA based cards for a while now, I just bought my second 260. We have been thrashing GPUGrid and SETI work for a while, quite a few of us in the team IRC channel. Unfortunately, as Kinguni mentioned several times, none of us post the knowlege here in the forums. We'll have to rectify that. There are mentions of other projects developing CUDA apps, Lattice comes to mind, also.

Just an FYI.  CUda is sorta able to run seti so no need to run F@H heck oyu could even do ps3grid

Truth is after all a moving target Hairs to split, and pieces that don't fit How can anybody be enlightened? Truth is after all so poorly lit - Getty Lee

A shame.

Tesla S1070 - not sure if this is what you get for 2 grand.  If it is, seems like GTX 260 is a better way to go.  Also - BOINC is better prepared for it...  Who knows if this thing would work.

 

# of Tesla GPUs	4
# of Streaming Processor Cores	960 (240 per processor)
Frequency of processor cores	1.296 to 1.44 GHz
Single Precision floating point performance (peak)	3.73 to 4.14 TFlops
Double Precision floating point performance (peak)	311 to 345 GFlops
Floating Point Precision	IEEE 754 single & double
Total Dedicated Memory	16GB
Memory Interface	512-bit
Memory Bandwidth	408GB/sec
Max Power Consumption	800 W
System Interface	PCIe x16 or x8

 

 

That is one with 4 in it.  To compare, my GTX 260 has:

# of GPUs	1
# of Streaming Processor Cores	216
Frequency of processor cores	1.512 GHz
Single Precision floating point performance (peak)	~ 750 GFlops
Total Dedicated Memory	896MB
Memory Interface	448-bit
