anyone run this application... does it pay shit like the rest of WCG?

I haven't but I'm sure it does.

Actually it runs very well. They've been beta testing since January. What it pays can't be measured in points IMHO
Now it's with a little sadness that I let y'all know I will be setting my GPUs to run this and will be leaving POEM for a while. I lost my mom to cancer and I'm a cancer survivor myself so this project has always been close to my heart. Once everything gets settled I will use some of my CPUs to help with challenges where I can. I will be around the forums and I will be watching when SUSA takes over the #1 position in POEM.
Crunch on.

I hear you, we all lost or almost lost friends and relatives to cancer and crunched against this. If it just helps making you feel better and one day may help somebody, it's the best way to go.
We will miss you on the POEM team, but I am hoping we will see you back there soon. %%-

I'm so sorry nanoprobe. I lost my father to cancer on the 9th of September so I can feel for you. I wish you and your family the best.

Okay, gonna need an app_info.xml so that my machines get only GPU tasks for HCC, while my CPUs get only other specific projects. The app_info.xml language baffles me, even after all these years. PLEASE?

Well, let's see, on my i7-920 with an Ati-HD5850, a HCC-task on CPU apparently takes 1.91 hours = 115 minutes. On the GPU, a HCC-task takes roughly 5 minutes.
My guess is WCG will give the same per task regardless of how it's crunched, meaning GPU should give roughly 23x more cobblestones/day per core.
If takes into account the cpu has 8 cores, this means cpu can do 100.2 tasks/day if runs only HCC on cpu. With the GPU, cpu-production drops to 87.7 tasks/day but with an additional 144 from GPU the total is 231.7 tasks/day and this again should equal 2.32x more cobblestones/day.
If assumes the same speedup across the board, this means HCC instead of using 736 days to finish will only use 318 days to finish.

No problem. We are glad your here and please continue to use the forums. Also if you are up to it could you post your results on your different gpus?
