Deatheye: Cause one GPU can calculate as much as hunderts of CPU or more, depending on what calcuclatiions you run, and cause you don't have to pay other if you use ur own GPU..
Pretty obvious why, don't you think?
If you run a lot of calculations that run bether on GPUs it sure is worth it.
Personally I would prefer it if he uses the cloud so my CPUs have something to do ;)
Yeah, I know where you are coming from. I used to have that enthusiasm too. I know all that great stuff about shader processors and how they can work extremely efficient compared to x86 architecture (Say 100 fold more efficient).
But it's extremely hard to make GPU to calculate those history works, cuz for GPU it's all about parallel.
And actually - WHY BOTHER?
The problem was - Extremely long optimization process. And MQ did find solution - CLOUD. Easily faster than any latest quad sli (single offline system).
Just think about that: You don't need to optimize your EA all the time. While you can provide agents all the time. And they do some calculatins and adds some credit to your account. That all accumulates and when you need a optimization boost - it's there.
Think about cloud like me - thats optimization battery. You charge it,charge it,charge it, and then KABOOM(get results quickly and probably while sitting in some beautiful park with your low energy mobile device).
Btw: I supply agents too and here electricity prices are so dear, that I only can be profitable if all cloud capacity is utilized. Since there is no luck on that. I just want to see some crazy spikes someday, thats is all I need for satisfaction.
