Sad news for ATI GPU folks:


Posted on the home page of Dnetc:


The project will work to 31/01/2011 - lack of finances to maintain the server.
In the absence of contributions to the maintenance of the server, the project will work to 31.01.2011, until further notice. - OxyOne - 27 Jan 2011 | 17:40:19 UTC ยท Comment

They appear to be the same group as for AndrOINC which is also going offline on the 31st.

That will be sad, and, I suppose, more clients for PrimeGrid, Collatz and back to Milkyway.
Go away, I was asleep

In my experience with dnetc/mw/collatz they all break down, you need to babysit the lot of them pita

People have been hacking their caches over at MilkyWay and have all but caused the validator to shutdown.

Friends--we don't bash other projects here. Please respect other projects and if you have concerns or complaints, please take them appropriately to their web forum.

Thx

you can run other projects with them: collatz or dnetc (i run collatz).


Sorry, read this post:

But Lunatics released their ATI OpenCL App for SETI three days ago. Not very effective, OpenCL and ATI seem not to be best friends, but the app works.


DNETC lives on, enough donors kicked in to fund operations for a while longer.
