I ran an amd FX-8320E and scored big. As long as credit new doesn't have a like processor to compare it to, you're golden. I've tried using a new host with a same processor and it gave usual/low credits. Run one or two wus, if you're getting 50%+ in credits/cpu time you have a processor it doesn't recognize. Much lower than that and you're...in a word...screwed.
Don't waste your time with I7 3930Ks, 5650, or 5675 ... they've been used already
After you get your million under Windows w/ a processor CN doesn't know about then you can get about 500k more by running the same processor under Linux.
HERE is the original thread on the technique ... seems folks have forgotten about it.
EDIT: it isn't a case of whether credit new has seen your processor before ... it is has CN seen your processor running SINGLE THREADED!!!!!
Or 2 threaded? Or 3 threaded?, etc? I wonder if you get some decent results at each step until it's just wasting cores because they sit idle while other pieces complete. (A known flaw in the way the MT app works on Yafu.)
Ding!
1m @ DENIS! That is my 88th, and puts me in the lead for a couple of days.
Also first to 1m in the project.
10m in PrimaB! That is my first all-CPU project to 10m, and 2nd 10m project.
Congrats Denim! That takes a LOT of crunching to accomplish on a CPU project!
Very impressive!
Thanks, but I am sure both of you have many many projects with that spec.
Actually not. I have only one purely-CPU project over 10m, NFS@Home.Thanks, but I am sure both of you have many many projects with that spec.
