Collatz: Sieve Application Testing

As some may have noticed on the server status page, there are daemons running for the new Collatz Sieve application. Work units are available for when the apps ready for testing. If you are a glutton for punishment, set your preferences to allow test applications and when the apps are ready, you can join in the testing. I know the credit calulation used by the old apps has to change because while the average steps has increased because of the sieve, the total steps has decreased. Also, the WUs are probably too large (a day or two or more??? on a very fast GPU). The sieve apps will come and go while testing the various platforms and plan classes. As they are determined to be stable they will be added to the list of production apps and, if all goes well, eventually the v6 apps will be deprecated.
