2) Message boards : Number crunching : Multi core support (Message 53697) Posted 17 Mar 2012 by Mic Post: I have an off the wall question. I have an i7-940xm mobile processor overclocked 5%. When I get processes that use the 8 cores I can process 656682 GFLOPS in about 1-2 minutes, but when I am processing the single core versions it takes 3+ hours for only 29640 GFLOPS. Now my question is that when I finish the 656682 GFLOPS I get less than 1 credit most of the time but when I do 29640 GFLOPS I get over 100 credits. That just seems backward to me that when I do more GFLOPS I get less credit since it does not take as long when it uses all 8 of my cores? I hope this makes sence to someone.

4) Message boards : Number crunching : ATI HD 5870 not being recognized (Message 53683) Posted 15 Mar 2012 by Mic Post: I tried searching the threads for this but have not found anything. I have 2 HD 5870M in xfire and for whatever reason Boinc sees them as "57xx series" so i keep getting the message from milkyway that "an ati gpu supporting double precision math is required" does the HD 5870M (mobile version) does not work with the program or am I totally missing something?
