    If looks like DA's multi-size still needs some work since there are 8 different sizes and your devices are grabbing work from #5. #1 is 16 times smaller than the one you are getting right now. Looks like I need to dig into the code and figure out why it is so stupid that it sends really large files to really slow clients. Could be bad benchmarks, bad code, or a combination. It doesn't help that all the benchmarks use flops and Collatz only uses integers. That makes the estimates off by a factor of 8 to start with but it takes client code changes to fix it. There's nothing I can change on the server since the client sends only floating point data and no integer data.

    Why of why can't DA............

    I recall reading a post on these here forums about an independent group rewriting BOINC client & server code from the ground up. Can't seem to find it now. Anyhoot, does anyone know if have they made any progress with DA on this?

    The rewrite-BOINC-project is dead. Nothing really since 2009.

    I tried writing a BOINC client GUI in C# .NET but shelved it since I got tired of adding hacks to get around all the ill-formed XML BOINC uses. That, and it was like trying to hit a moving target. As soon as one part was done, the BOINC developers had changed it so it needed to be upgraded again to remain compatible.
