    Re: NFS@Home: Updates

    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.
