#1 Amicable The search up to 10^20

Post by Newshound »


It will be started tomorrow (July 1st)!



I've decided to speed up the launch of the next search due to performance issues with GPU version that everyone experiences now.



What will happen on July 1st:



1) "Amicable Numbers up to 10^20" application will start receiving tasks.

2) All GPU versions for the old application "Amicable Numbers up to 2^64" will be deprecated.

3) Credit points for both applications will be re-balanced to make sure that RAC doesn't change.



So all GPUs should automatically switch to the new application, and the old application will remain as CPU-only until it finishes.
