[LODA] Milestone reached: 100k programs!

Post by BOINC_News »

We have reached the major milestone of 100k programs for OEIS integer sequences. This is an incredible achievement that was possible only by your amazing community support. Thank you all for your contributions to the LODA project! Special shout out to L'Alliance Francophone, who have boosted our findings during the last couple of weeks.
You have found many exciting new and faster programs for integer sequences. This includes decimal expansions of many irrational constants such as the Apéry constant (value of the Riemann Zeta function at n=3). Another major achievement is the discovery of an entire new class of programs related to partition numbers, which go back to Ramanujan.

In terms of tooling, we received support by the BOINC core team, which enabled us to provide ARM64 Linux platform and native Apple M1 support via a universal executable of the wrapper app. Quality remains one of our top priorities. While we already have a 94% pass rate on x86_64 Linux, we still aim at reducing errors on other platforms. Since we cannot catch up analyzing all the new programs manually (currently more than 100 per day), we plan to develop a new major feature that shall allow us to automatically derive formulae (recurrence relations) from many LODA programs.

Our next target milestone is 110k programs.
We hope to keep up the amazing mining rate of >100 new programs per day. Thank you for your sustained support to the LODA project!
