I'll take your NFS challenge credits for usage rights.

Unfortunately you are 1 challenge too early. I need; 1M to hit 5M (then I'm done), change color on 2 badges, and hours on 2 to get them to 25k.

On the Need For Speed III challenge things might be different so I can pay my debt

Good work Carlos ! It will be some fun.

Just a quick note. Wu's deadline is 7 days so easy to bunker....
Already warned the backstage of the project so 8-9 days before the start of the challenge the buffers will be with plenty of work.

I'll be honest, I voted no on this challenge, but since we issued it, I'll be there. So what should I run?

15e I can add 15k hours
14e I can add 15k hours
16eV5 I need both hours and credits

So which one of the applications is the 16eV5? I'm running Win7 if that makes a difference. Sorry, it's not apparent to me.

16e pays MUCH better than the others (unless things have changed). V5 used to be Linux only but now it is also Windows. The only problem with 16eV5 is that it can take 1G/thread of memory (or a little more). RAM

Unless things have changed, you will get more credits running a few less threads (so you have enough memory) than dropping to the 14e or 15e and running all threads. I used to run 10 threads on my 12 thread/16G machines and never had a memory problem. 15e pays better than 14e.

This is old data so things might have changed.

Personally I'll be running all apps during the bunker and challenge since I'm working on badges and hours. I may do the bunker in 16eV5 and then switch to 14/15 for the challenge.

You're correct.
14e pays 36 points per wu
15e pays 44 points per wu
16e V5 pays 130 points per wu (more than 1GB/thread)

~same time run for each application, either linux or windows.

Is this the 16eV5 - lasieve5f?

[Maxwell]

Is this the 16eV5 - lasieve5f?

Yes.

Don't you just love their naming system?

Yes.

Yes.

The name is in function of the lattice siever (application).

hmmmm guess it has been a while for me. I have over a million credits on this project and less than 1000 hours on wuprop. not sure why but what it shows
14e---435 h
15e---298
16e sieve --- 186
