SETI MB CUDA for Linux
riofl:
if i were to build a machine with 4 GTX295 cards, will boinc see and use all 8 cuda processors properly and efficiently, or would i be better off using 4 GTX285 single gpu cards? i had originally thoguht of using 4 teslas but the GTX 285 outperforms it by a lot just going by raw gflops (74 tesla vs 127 GTX) as measured by boinc.

Well, that is your choice. Boinc won't have any problems at all.

And if it doesn't work you can send that machine to me... ;D

Well, probably, first, he's going to bring that machine down on my head hard for making him blow his money away, but I'll take it anyway. ;D

LOL as long as boinc can use all 8 processors efficiently it will be fine.. this is a '1st quarter next year' project im planning out now. prob use either an i7 proc or a couple quad core xeons not sure yet which would process better. i heard the modern xeons were super fast in math, but then ive also heard that about the i7 so... dunno... about the only thing that is a given is the choice of vid cards and hard drives and ram :) hehe friggin vid cards will cost as much as the rest of the machine will!
