Race polls - Everyone chips in

[NeoGen]

I have to do to primegrid the same I did to Yoyo, start cutting off the sub-projects that don't meet requirements, to simplify it. I had it yellow instead of red on primegrid because I think in the middle of all those apps there must be some that are not 64bit credit inflated.

Well... Yoyo is down to ECM only now, as OGR has really way too long WUs. This gave it a "WUs length OK" green card, and along with the "dial-up friendly" it raised the bar to 16 points by features, making it the top one so far.

I'm keeping SHA-1 there, but it cannot be elected, no work means no race.

good point on the 64bit favoritism.

A couple more options for steady projects:

MalariaControl.net ... 64-bit Linux, but not Windows

ABC@Home ... 64-bit Linux and Windows available.

Genetic Life ... No 64-bit apps for Linux or Windows.

Of the submitted projects so far, I vote for Enigma and ABC. We need non-protein folding representation, and I haven't hit 100k on either of these, yet.

Added ABC and GeneticLife, but I know very little about them, I need confirmations from people running it, or that have run it recently.

MalariaControl.net has account creation by invite code... can't race there

I've been running Enigma for quite a few months now along side LHC (when it has WU's), and I can't fault Enigma. When they are performing server maintenance, my PC can't crunch through all the WU's I have before the server comes back online. On my X2 6000, I'm looking at anything from 1hr to 2:30hrs per WU depending on what's in it. You'd have to throw MareNostrum at it to be pushing 120units/day - well maybe not, but there we go :P

ABC
- runs stable
- can't remember last time out of work
- dial-up friendly
- most task short 1-6 hrs, the longest I've seen just under 8 hrs(rare)
- no limits that I know of

- quorum = 2 is a biggy though, should get -5 for it.

i run genetic life and can say some points
buffer: 'Message from server: (reached per-CPU limit of 8 tasks)' ... so you can't buffer many. you can have max 8WU/core.
stable: i can't find any error WU in my list
dial-up: 16WU take 4.5MB
quorum = 1
runtime: my longest was 6300s (1.75h) but the most took 1.5h at my box
open acc creation
apps but we could use the source-code and create other clients
Has steady flow of WUs? yeah. i run genlife only and have no time when i not crunch
i prefer this project

did i forget something?

Yikes, I should've looked a little further into those issues.

Updated with your info guys. Seems that there's alot of good projects to run after all.
