I just supplemented my computer with a second 5850 card, and I am now computing 2 tables at once. The instruction for doing this is rather easy.
1) Make a new folder with gen_table.py and A5Brook.so 2) Download new table parameters to a51id.cgi 3) Write "export BRT_ADAPTER=1" before running gen_table.py Thus the table will be calculated on the specified GPU (1) Currently my computer is outputting 1000 chains / second. What I really need now is for the python script to automatically fetch new table parameters when a table has been completed (easy to do really, I may comitt this soon). But when I am not doing A51 (after all it is -25 centigrade outside) I also wrote a Mandelbulb renderer. Sample video here (in HD): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oe2bzLH65_A Then I had a brainwave: Making a combined Mandelbulb + A5/1 screensaver for the unwashed masses (Windows) should easily get us all the tables we need :-) Happy new year!
