Another new project starting up. This one is actually allowing people to join, can you believe it?! :icon_wink:

Vaughan, I've formed the team page and will switch 'Founder' over to you.

and there's work too...

Project is temporarily unavailable, try again later.

I joined...

Woot ... I joined eventually. Initiate transfer resulted in an Unhandled exception error.

I bestow upon thee, the "Great Sword of Foundership"!:wav:

Gotta be careful of the workunits from this one. They require 768MB RAM per, and on a Q6600 with only 2GB, BOINCing will be all you do on the computer.

wu's seam to have dried up for now. I can't get any more.

[sentient_life]

Thankfully, they've uploaded new workunits that don't require as much RAM. The 24 hour deadline is a problem, though.

[liuqyn]

as well as the 2 per cpu limit. all in time I guess.

Here is some info from my crunching.

500 wu per day per cpu.
Each wu runs ~16 minutes on an X2 @2.6 ghz
About 4.4 pts per wu.

The project seems to have gone down overnight. No wu's will upload, and I cannot connect to the project site....

Is this project ready for it's own forum?

[liuqyn]

all mine uploaded, but can't report for credit or get anymore. now can't access web page either.

Anyone else having memory issues with this project? It's hogging 450mb of VM per task (so 900mb of my 2gb) when running. Milkyway takes just 20mb...
