I received this message each time I connected :
your computer has no NVIDIA GPU.
What that means?

It means that your graphics processor/subsystem is not manufactured by the NVidia corporation ( regardless of the 'badging' of the card ). For E@H this means that CUDA type work units ( for our binary pulsar searches - see BRP3 ) cannot be performed on your machine. You can do gravitational wave searches though.

Cheers, Mike.

You can also do BRP3s, just not on any GPU. ;-)
Unless the BRP3 app for the CPU has bitten the dust??

I am not getting any BRP3 on

I am not getting any BRP3 on my Linux box, no GPU, only GW.

That's cos you'll just have

That's cos you'll just have to get a real bastard OS. :P

We get about 60% Windows, 30% Linux and 10% Mac OS X results for S5GC1HF.

The numbers are not very stable for BRP3, since we still keep changing things there. But I don't think that a comparably large fraction of Linux hosts attached to Einstein@home is capable of running our CUDA App as there is for Windows. Consequently the Linux CUDA App doesn't have a priority as high as the Windows one.

I am running Solaris Express

I am running Solaris Express as a guest OS on VirtualBox and a SETI@home app on it. But I am not going to pay for a Windows guest.

I've been getting plenty of BRP3 tasks allocated to the CPU app, on both CUDA-equipped and non-GPU hosts.

Sigh ... :-) I was trying

Sigh ... :-)

I was trying to keep the answer simple for a new member ( read my post again Jord, I didn't say he couldn't do BRP3 on his CPU ).

@Jean Marc : you can do good work here, but not by using your graphics card. One thing is sure - you can always perform gravitational wave work.

Cheers, Mike.

Thank you Mike, this program

Thank you Mike, this program is new for me 'cos I've a new camputer and the older one was too ...old to work with seti@home.
So I'm not very advise about the way it's working. (sorry for my english.)

No, as I read it, you implied that BRP3s were only for CUDA.

For E@H this means that CUDA type work units ( for our binary pulsar searches - see BRP3 ) cannot be performed on your machine.


To then go on and say that he could do GWs instead.

Had you just said "For E@H this means that CUDA type work units cannot be performed on your machine.", then that would've been correct. But just by adding the part in parentheses, did you imply that BRP3s are CUDA type work units only. And they aren't. But who am I telling that? ;-)

Your English seems fine. Also be aware that the minimum BOINC version requirement has changed.

@Ageless : what can I say? Like many you will a different language idiom to mine - and this is generally culturally based. English is a common language that divides us!! That's why 'as I read it, you implied' often falls over once you cross an ocean or two. The basic reason is variance upon the default use of OR based grammatical constructs - inclusive vs. exclusive definitions ( ie. in this case do parenthetical adjustments widen or narrow one to the other ), plus what it means to have proper vs. non-proper subsets and the contra-positive of that. Which is why my 'though' is not your 'instead' ( I was actually anticipating his likely next query of why CPU based BRP's take so long! ). Don't take this as personal criticism as it's merely that we grew up in different parts of the world. When in doubt I prefer the simplest literal interpretation, with the fewest/no assumptions.

Cheers, Mike.
