Project Update

[Dingo]

DidierT and myself are head to head on this new project working our way to the top 100.

[Dingo]

DidlerT has found a prime number on this project.  Well done first for the Team and I hope we find some more.  http://srbase.myfirewall.org/sr5/forum_thread.php?id=157  

Our newest member Daniel has joined and raced to the top of the "Team Total Credit".

Yesterday the admin announced a new subproject that will run on GPUs ...

GPU72 new subproject (pre-alpha)
GPU72 is a subproject for GPU Trial Factoring of Mersenne Prime. The project will be run on opencl for AMD and Nvidia cards on 64bit only.
There is still some further processing in creating all the server stuff.

No new workunits ready at the moment though.

[Daniel]

GPU72 workunits are available now.

Wowzer, I ran just a few tasks to see how they go, talk about working the GPU, first time I have seen the gtx 970 screaming with fan and temps in 80s.

Gee, no other project really works the card as hard as this one lol.

Cheers

[Daniel]

The GPU72 application has now been renamed to TF (Trial Factoring).

[SRBase] news update on multiGPU setup
Our BOINC wrappers were already prepared on running the config but we missed a file change a long time ago. With the hint of the user CallMeFoxie and testing of user DeleteNull we are now prepared to run such a config on windows and linux except Intel ARC cards.

The big update is planned on Friday this week.
