PrimeGrid: 48 hour NOTICE: FMA3 LLR going live.

Sometime during Thursday, April 17th (UTC) we are going to install the new FMA3 (aka AVX2) version of LLR on the PPS project, in preparation for the Shakespeare's Birthday Challenge that starts on Sunday. Especially on Intel Haswell CPUs, but to some extent also on Ivy Bridge and Sandy Bridge CPUs, this new app is significantly faster. It also consumes more power, and generates more heat. Please make sure your computer is up to running the new app. Information and discussion about the new LLR app can be found in this thread. I expect to install the new app for all of the other LLR projects sometime after it goes live on PPS, depending on how well the PPS deployment goes.
