As Francesc previous said, these need to be at least in double precision 
and really it should also be in all the floating point precisions used 
by numpy on supported platforms. Based on the various boinc project 
comments, many graphics cards do not natively support double precision 
so  you can get an inflated speedup just because of the difference in 
precision.
