After failing to keep 2nd place in HashClash (somehow Vaughan made a gigantic boost :-( ), I've decided to get work from all my projects I'm attached to. I've noticed I got some WUs from XtremLab, though it is Linux only. I'm guessing windows support was secretly implemented? No news on the main site (http://xw01.lri.fr:4320). :?

This forum thread (http://xw01.lri.fr:4320/forum_thread.php?id=6) discusses the Windows version. Looks like it has been started just recently. :)

Sorry 'bout that gamer. I had to put my foot down hard on the BOINC accellerator. Can't be seen to be slacking off on my least preferred Distributed Computing platform :)

Switching the farm over to other projects now so you have a reprieve.

Yep, XtremLab for windows finally!! :D

Been crunching them and they look pretty much ok. Only a bit different from the Linux ones... these actually take computing power during the time they're crunching. The linux ones spent most of the time idling and only had some spikes when they made readings of the system... (which let a person run another project at the same time)

Done one WU. Got around 2 creds and ran for 10 minutes.
