To stay almost on topic then running GPU HCC is not the way to get badges, as you say you have to run some CPU as well. My 8 GPUs (2x3 plus two real ones) more or less takes 7 days away form my normal run time.

And back to animal: Congrat with your first badge.

Quite so. Considerably better

And BOINCStats says I'm 17 in Norway!

I'll join you in Denmark at some point--I'm having fun hopping around Scandinavia

Well, you're getting 8 days of runtime a day for HCC--which still does contribute towards badges for that. But it just slows down badge acquisition for all of the other projects. IMO it's worth it.

To clarify - when you run a GPU 24 hours for HCC you will receive less then 2-3 hours of CPU time for HCC and take is what count towards badges.

Fascinating. Really? I haven't seen that---?

Just to ask, is it not better to use your gpu as it performs WU's way faster?

Are badges not for girl guides?

I'm not being cheeky, just curious as i thought gpu's were better for crunching.

There are different types of calculations. Perhaps it will be more GPU WU in the future for other projects.

We can hope that there will be more GPU WUs--although the scientists don't have anything else for the HCC project. So I'm not terribly optimistic

Oh yes, the stars are indeed awesome!

70c isn't too bad--my laptop runs at close to 80C 24/7 and the older i7 does ~70C or so

Provided it's an Intel CPU at least--the AMDs aren't so good with high temps

I'll say. Last week's was about 70.6m (right?), so we should fly by that
