Boost needed to push forward 2,2158L. Apps: lasievef and lasieve5f. 700MB/thread. Wu name is S2L2158_something. Each wu is credited 130 points.
Started to give the example but I’m running for my dearest Scottish team. Anyone wants to join me?
I'm kinda busy with some other goals for the next several weeks. Maybe next time!
Will be busy trying to reach 10M.
After we process the current 2.8M wus we will add a difficult job to process which will require at least 2GB/thread. I’ve requested admin to add some feedback on the news, also I mention to consider an increase of the wu credit, currently set at 130, since for this job we will be needing dedicated cruncher. We’re forecasting at current pace 3-4 months for this job. Will keep you all updated on the credit thing, can be an opportunity to reach goals.
Make the job use a new app, with explicit memory requirements on the project preferences page, opt-in only. As you say, tasks should be rewarded with extra credits.
FWIW, I have 40M in credits at NFS. And the only app I have less than 100k hours is 16e Lattice Sieve, which is dead (I think). So the only goal I have to work at is credits. And another 10M is a big mountain to climb.
Greg needs to fix the badge levels...the ones in place don’t make sense.
