New project - BOINC - Riesel Sieve

[vaughan]

Here's one more BOINC project for us to play with.

BOINC - Riesel Sieve

This is a maths project and is currently Windows only.

Q: How can I participate?
[EDIT]
A: If you have boinc v5.4.9+, use the Projects -> Attach to Project method to attach to a new project in Boinc Manager. Use the url http://boinc.rieselsieve.com

Each team has a Create team account URL; accounts created through this URL will belong to the team, and will have the project preferences of its founder.

Q: How do I join the Team?
A: After having created an account, go to our Team page and click the link to join our Team. It's as easy as that. Here's our Team page:
http://boinc.rieselsieve.com/orig/te...php?teamid=399

Happy crunching

He did say he wanted a handful of people. So account creation is disabled at the moment.

Plus there is no create_account_form.php according to the site (404 error).

The project is running really well. Great job Bryan.

ps. Woot! I'm World #1 :shock: That won't last for long :!:

[EDIT] Just read that account creation is closed now they have 15 pre-Alpha stage testers. [/edit]

Damn BETA testing... I never get in on the first try.... I get in later and then I'm thousands of points behind.

Oops :oops:
Well that went horrible wrong!!!!
I tried to add Semprom running Windows Millennium. One that has ran Primegrid

Boinc Riesel sieve does not like Win ME
When it started running it said CPU Time 14994936:05:-29(negative sign not a typo) and a MS-DOS windows running sieve_5.13_windows_intelx86.

I was trying to get a screen shot when the unit completed and reported back. I went to check my account to see what happen with the result. I found out two units went through, each claiming get this -1.262 billion credits. My total is now -2.5 billion with a RAC of -250 million :shocked!: and of course that been added to the team stat in case your wondering WTH happen.

When I went to suspended the project on that box after checking my account, it had and was downloading units. I suspended it and checked the messages in Boinc and saw it was trying to fetch oh about 3 billion seconds of work. #-o

Now I can't get on the message boards because I have no credits to the good.

Could someone ask bryan fix or delete result for 6522 and 6523 that should hopefully fix some of the stats and get me back into the message boards.

Would be much appreciated :D

Regardless of what you might think, that's a good test result.
Well worth the effort.
