Announcing the POTM for Oct. 2017.
The SkyNet POG's to be run from 10/9/17 thru 10/13/17
This a CPU only project (sadly) but it's okay because our GPU's have been working hard lately. I'd like to do it this week because there are a couple potential conflicts next week.
So clear your cache's and map some dust density, stars and galaxy's.
TYVM
Are you going to setup a Thread for this and also what about setting up a Challenge on POGs as well. If you like I can setup the Challenge on POGs? Open to All or Invite Only?

Keep in mind that Milkyway is a "needs good DP Floating Point" project - those with the old Tahiti AMD cards (R9 280/280x and the HD varients) and to a lesser degree Hawaii (R9 290/290x/390/390x) will ROCK this project.
Ditto early Titan models.
Then there are the serious monsters, but I dunno if anyone rocks the high-end Firepro stuff....
Now that vorsholk has stopped his abuse, I'm returning to folding. I no longer MOO due to abuses by certain "whales" in the Gridcoin community - so I now work the Distributed.net project directly again.

You Do Not Have to have a Graphics Card with DP "Floating Point" to run MilkyWay.
Just about any Graphics Card will run MilkyWay just fine.

Yes, all modern and semi-recent GPUs will run Milkyway - because they ALL have at least some support for DP Floating Point.
I was just pointing out that it's a project that certain older cards SHINE on because they have much better DP Floating point than most if not all current cards (other than some workstation-specific ones) do.

Don't forget there is a folding contest happening for part of the month....... Also a PPS-Sieve (sounds familiar) challenge for 3 days from the 18th to the 21st.

It shouldn't take long for the zones to fold to 200mil. depends on the number registrants.

Should be able to run at lest 2 Per GPU and I would even test 3 on Each GPU. For 2 Per GPU <app_config> <app> <name>milkyway</name> <gpu_versions> <gpu_usage>0.5</gpu_usage> <cpu_usage>0.2</cpu_usage> </gpu_versions> </app> </app_config> For 3 Per GPU <app_config> <app> <name>milkyway</name> <gpu_versions> <gpu_usage>0.3</gpu_usage> <cpu_usage>0.2</cpu_usage> </gpu_versions> </app> </app_config>

OP is updated.
Don. Polarbeardj, nominates asteroids ad Dec. POTM
Any one second it? Any objections?
There are other things going on but it looks like it can be squeezed in there. Just have to pick the date.
I have no problem with it.
Thanks for that milkyway config Bill. The system with my Titan in it was just rebuilt, x58 FTW3-x5660 to a P9x79 WS -E5-1650
I kept it win7 Pro. I use it as a PVR TV movie server.
Win7 updated really fast now, remember a few months ago it was so slow and near impossible to update.
I may move more back over to win7 if W10 will not allow older drivers to be installed.

I have been crunching asteroids for the last couple weeks...stopped this past weekend but didn't have any task issues. They do have a planned outage from 11/9 lasting about 7 days. I run 2 tasks per GPU on my 980ti and 4 tasks per GPU on my 1080ti for MilkyWay.

Yea I just got a few tasks, they have been hit or miss for me is all last week and the week before. Sometimes it happens but December is a long way away and we should be fine but like some projects it just happens. Though I do only run one task per GPU. <app_config> <app> <name>period_search</name> <gpu_versions> <gpu_usage>1.0</gpu_usage> <cpu_usage>0.2</cpu_usage> </gpu_versions> </app> </app_config>

For asteroids I have been running only CPU tasks. I think with Asteroids the CPU and GPU tasks are much closer in points than some other projects where GPUs dominate.
Could be wrong though...
