Neurona WUs RAM Reqs

[Maxwell]

So, the last two WUs I got from Neurona have decided to eat up 6.5M of RAM each - anyone else seeing this, or should I be awesome and report it to the boards there?

This is normal, and why they will issue only one at a time.


From their front page:


WARNING

Please be aware that, due to the nature of the network being simulated, this project requires a HUGE amount of RAM, between 3 and 6 Gigabytes per Work Unit, and quite likely this quantity will increase in the next months as the investigation goes further. You will need a suitable 64 bit Linux or Windows PC (due to the RAM requirements there is no 32 bit worker available). Because of this, subscription to this project is made only by invitation code upon request of the volunteer.

Since it uses huge amounts of RAM, do they grant an equally huge amount of credit?

Yeah, right!
