[NumberFields@Home] Batch Plan

Post by BOINC_News »

Some of you may have noticed, the search over subfield 7 DS16x11 is coming to an end, and you are probably wondering where we go from here.

We are going to start by making a quick detour to subfield 6 and start the search over DS11x12. The only reason for doing this is to keep the WUs consistent for the BOINC Pentathlon (timing stats for the 2 searches are very similar - WUs average about 2 hours on my CPU)

After that we will go back to subfield 3 and finish that search once and for all.

Then it's back to the final part of subfield 7, and then finally subfield 6.

Thumbs up to Eric Driver.

One other admin could certainly have done the same, but did not, for whatever reason.
Edit half a day later: Or maybe he did after all.

I hope he says how much was completed during the pentathlon in these three short days.

Lots of work is going on right now.
