A little late to the party, however, I just saw these cards are getting cheap - I understand graphics cards are the best option for running Seti as well as you need one cpu core per card. My question is - could you have an infinity number of graphics cards used in conjunction with these Intel Phi coprocessors? (power requirements aside) Just curious, |

no, you can't use those cards for SETI, and I'm not aware of any BOINC project that can use them. they would also be less efficient than just using a modern CPU or GPU. the reason they are cheap is because they aren't really useful for anything anymore.

Thanks for the reply. I was thinking more towards the 1 CPU requirement per GPU then have 20+ GPUs on one system like the cheap P106-90 gpu. I was just daydreaming and curious. :) Thanks JP |

those cards are not "CPUs" they are coprocessors on a PCIe card. they would never be treated as a CPU anyway. Seti@Home classic workunits: 29,492 CPU time: 134,419 hours
