Trying to verify here, BOINC uses CPU only?

niko084 · Oct 22, 2009

Just making sure I'm setting things up right.

Gotta get my 60k points in 60 days!

Anyone know what various chips get for points in this?

Yep, BOINC is only CPU

Here's some rough data:
P4 HT / Athlon 64 --- 200-300 PPD
Pentium D / Athlon 64 X2 300-500 PPD
Core 2 Duo --- 500-900 PPD
Core 2 Quad --- 1.2k -- 2K PPD (2k only if overclocked)
i7 (HT enabled) -- up to 4K, depending on overclock

There are a couple of projects that are BOINC GPU related, here is one;

There are a couple of others, Seti is one I think and some that are trying to get GPU crunching up and running.

As mike said, there are a couple more BOINC GPU projects available at the moment:

Collatz
MilkyWay
Einstein

I meant to say WCG is only CPU :banghead:

. I saw that BOINC kept trying to get CUDA WUs for my 9300, but WCG didn't have any (no surprise here)

Also, the Seti project uses GPUs.
