OK... Now how and where do we go to help on these new needs? I got lost... Kind of hard to understand what he said... Fobinch? Freenote?

Linux GPU core?....Native linux folding?...no wine? 120k on titan 110k on 7970 81K on 680 to come: Intel Xeon Phi compatiblility Intel GPU compatibility more speed = More points so where is the new core? Id like to see it Not many internal testers from the EVGA team...do we have any? Questions? Reddit IAMA www.reddit.com/r/folding OOOHHHH!!!! core 17 is back on beta proteneer
We released OpenMM 5.1 based core 17 today
AMD Linux - not supported yet - linux driver unstable
....
With the native linux core, you won't need to use wine anymore.
Linux GPU cores start today Thx you proteneer for keeping us more informed...this is what we like to see more from stanford if you need help with the core or openMM(coding) - I might be able to help in the coming months

Great news to me...thanks for sharing it and the additional info/links from XZ! Maybe this will herald a new turning point for our Team and for GPU Folding? Hopes up...

 It could be my hearing more than your speaking!  Cannot thank you enough for keeping us up to date. The direct result is it makes "Many" of us pump more into F@H. Thank you!

P7663 Beta testing for FAHCore_17 and OpenMM5.1
Do we have a thread somewhere walking us through applying for the Beta team? Last I remember was they did not want more folks, but that was in a thread full of other info and I am not certain it was factual or opinionated... I know we can do the flags. I am thinking of going all in and helping now that we are seeing this kind of support from Stanford/PG....

if you want to apply for Beta Team http://foldingforum.org/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=8 read the requirements and then post in the thread your system specs It be helpful to acknowledge you read and agree to the conditions Update on estimated PPD on new Beta WU 670FTW 70K on 7663 570 31K on 7663 WOW!!.... if this holds My PPD just doubled seems the 570 doesn't get much help with the new core

Thanks for the presentation, proteneer, and thanks for posting the link, iancook. It was very informative and is exciting to see so much activity on the development front. AB, it was FAHbench (F@H benchmark program) and [edited to fix name] freenode

Wow thats incredible to see that kind of improvement, and good to here its coming to intel i7's too. Is there a possibility it will make a change for bigAdv in the future too?

Be warned!!!
core 17 still uses a lot of CPU cycles with Nvidia cards...so keep a few threads avail for the GPUs

Thank you for this heads up!! What % of use? One full core each, less than or over? I leave two cores unused on my i7's for the two GPU's to use when they need it...

It be the same as last core 17... just leave 2 cores/threads for all your GPUs 1 GPU is about 5%-10% CPU (3930k) I'll let you know more as I get them loaded up with the new WU's I have 1 old WU's being serviced still my core2 quad ..it's almost using a full core for 1 GPU my 3930k is now up to 15-20% CPU usage with two GPU's

NVidia uses one full CPU core per GPU. AMD uses very little most of the time, but can spike up to a full core briefly.

On my SR-2 (with dual, 4-physical-core Xeons), I had to leave a minimum of (4) threads free to avoid having crashes while Folding on my GTX690. I had tried (2) threads and was still getting crashes that were killing the GPU Folding WU too. I'll have to give this latest core and 7663 WU a try just to see if anything has improved in that regard. I tell ya fellas, this is the kind of interaction and sharing of information that we have wanted to get from Stanford for a long time. I feel that we have seen a turn for the better in that regard with the combination of Blog posts, Proteneer's direct involvement in Forums and now this video which was very interesting to watch. Looking good PG...well done, thank-you!

Just tested out the new core, very impressive performance!  Still uses one full CPU core thanks to Nvidia's default spin scheduling though.

is this a hint? zdanger
So we're talking 110k PPD for a 7970 at ~270 watts? PPD/watt isn't too bad... Still not as good as my bigadv rigs.

Wait until -biggpuadv :P

after we do some more testing on 500k+ atoms.

Recent post on the AMA: proteneerOSX won't be supported because their OpenCL implementation is kinda borked. Linux is about 5-7% faster than Windows because the drivers don't need to deal with the Windows way of doing things.

My question: do you think there is anything the reddit community can do to promote folding@home and other distributed computing projects?

It never hurts to tell more people about [link=mailto:Folding@home]Folding@home[/link]. Get more involved in internal testing in our IRC channel. Also, you guys can tell NVIDIA to fix their OpenCL drivers, and AMD for improve their OpenCL linux drivers. In terms of concrete things, organizing more events such as competitions, etc. is always good.

Your computer is using that much at that moment. Core_17 itself cannot use more than one core. If the client is writing a checkpoint, your computer is doing any background tasks (like taking a screenshot), cpu usage will be higher. It will use an entire core though. So if you assign SMP to use all remaining cores, ANY other activity will cause SMP to conflict, and it's tpf will be effected (but GPU tpf should not change, as Nvidia drivers put a bear hug on their core, refusing to share it).

the new core17 works with HFM again!  7970's @1025 are getting 45-46kppd ea, which is up about 7k from 7662! im so happy now that they arnt sitting on the shelf rusting away! edit: I just fell out of my chair 680's are getting 75k ea! its gonna be a heat wave!

I see. That makes sense. Two browsers and the screen shot must be using more than one thread. Thank you...
