GOOFY CPU - HUGE CREDITS

[Bryan]

When I say HUGE I mean HUGE.

They released a new Windows 64 bit app yesterday. It is 3X faster than Linux and 8-10X faster than the Win 32 bit app. They will be dropping credits after this batch of WU but there are currently 1M WU left in the batch!

If you have a machine that hasn't been attached -or- has zero WU cached then:

Make sure you have this command line in you cc_config file:

<no_alt_platform>1</no_alt_platform>

If you had to add it or change it from 0 to 1 then you need to stop/restart BOINC. Theoretically this will keep the project from giving you the 32 bit Windows app which is dog slow!

After adding/changing then you can attach to the project or resume it if you were already attached.

My machines are taking 3-5 minutes to process a 50 credit WU ... big big credits

EDIT: IMHO this is a big enough deal to drop what you're running and jump it. Once these WU are gone it is over and done with. HUGE credits to be had!

Trying to grab some ...... bet I've missed the boat as usual #sadface

No, you are good to go Alez. The server is still showing over 1M WU available! Pile em on.
