    OK, I've finally created an account on NFS so I will do some work until SIMAP starts but I will do more afterwards.

    Thank you for joining. To get the most of NFS@Home please choose the lasievef or lasieve5f application at http://escatter11.fullerton.edu/nfs/...subset=project. 1GB per thread is needed. Linux is a must.

    For a big amount of reasons NFS is not compatible to run with Poem at least for me, so I will run NFS till Poem challenge start and will return to the project later Carlos.

    I need some hours to finish some old tasks but will be there tonight.

    Ricardo, maybe it's related to the application used. How much memory Poem tasks use?

    No Carlos it is not. It is because I have not enough cores to run both and running only one task with one core is not good because it uses only about 40% of the GPU and it is a real waste.

    My other computer had a problem with the on/off switch and now the internal "spring" of the switch (mola do interruptor) simply doesn't force the switch out that was since Saturday and I am going to try to fix it today if I have time. So the computer starts and forces the shut down immediately.

    Let us try to help Carlos for a small time on NFS. The ones among you that can help on this project give a small help for us to gain this two positions and get closer to Sicituradastra. I know about Poem but the ones among you that have cores available please give a small help.

    Thank you for your help.

    Carlos how can we make more points at NFS? Sorry I didn't understood very well this explanation about all those letters on NFS tasks. Tell us about the points we are credit addicted. Some of us are ...

    To get the most credits you need at least 1GB per core/thread available.
    Then go to http://escatter11.fullerton.edu/nfs/...subset=project and set up the clients like this:

    Run only the selected applications
    lasieved - app for RSALS subproject, uses less than 0.5 GB memory: no (36 points per wu)
    lasievee - work nearly always available, uses up to 0.5 GB memory: no (44 points per wu)
    lasievef - used for huge factorizations, uses up to 1 GB memory: yes (65 points per wu)
    lasieve5f - used for huge factorizations, uses up to 1 GB memory: no (65 points per wu)

    Offtopic: just looked at Top Host stats and my old GenuineIntelIntel(R) Core(TM) i5 CPU 750 @ 2.67GHz is ranked 15th by daily average. Another week and I am in top 10. Hehe.
