#1 GPUgrid An important note for Windows XP users
Posted: Mon Apr 17, 2017 9:19 pm
Dear all,
GPUGRID will stop supporting Windows XP in April 2018
Every version of the science application we have to maintain costs us time and effort, and it's important that we focus our resources where they can give us the best return.
Building and testing Windows XP versions our applications is increasingly difficult now the OS is unsupported by both Microsoft and NVIDIA.
There are now fewer than 20 Windows XP machines crunching on GPUGrid, out of a total of over 2500, and it's difficult to justify on-going engineering effort for a small fraction of our capacity.
Sadly, this means that it's time for us to stop supporting Windows XP. The recent update to the application will be the last, and will cease to work one year from now. After that time work will only be issued to hosts running Windows 7+ or Linux.
If this affects you, please accept my apologies. Your contribution has been greatly appreciated, and I hope that you'll continue to support us.
Matt
