Yoyo: OGR-27: Finished

[RSS]

After 1,821 days we finished the OGR-27 project. All stubs were computed at least twice. The Boinc part of this distributed.net project computed more than 5% of all OGR-27 stubs. At the end we had a rate of 10%. Now the Boinc server delivers OGR-28 workunits. This is to discover the most optimal Golomb Ruler with 28 marks. We anticipate that it will take about as long as OGR-27 has. It has some features in common with OGR-27: some of the packets will be very large (up to 1500 Gnodes), and there are three stub spaces. We expect that the first two stub spaces will take about 90 days to complete. For the stats freaks among you, the number of stubs for each stubspace of OGR-28 is below: Stubspace 1: 115676 Stubspace 2: 5823649 Stubspace 3: 518152118 No new application is needed, since OGR-27 clients are ready for OGR-28.

The good news is that this means there is still a project for all those add ball machines out there, like Solaris, android, PS3, raspberry pi, etc.
