    I found I had to attach to this project "the old way" ie from the project web-site not from within BOINC Manager. This allows you to enter the invitation code and all the other registration details required when joining a project.

    Team has been created.

    The good doctor has provided me with a sharable invite code.
    If anyone else in the AMD Users crew wants to sign up, send me a PM and I'll send you the invite code.

    As per vaughan's instructions you will need to create the account on the site first and then hook up your BOINC manager.
    *** really important note - you should always join a project that is set up this way to a BOINC manager client that is already actively running another 1 or 2 projects
    *** when you do this, the new project will take on your existing Cross Project ID, otherwise the new project CPID becomes you active CPID and then you get CPID splitting all over the place

    The credits are interesting - a lot of variation per wu. A lot of them are very low, but *all* of them are finishing in a very short time, not even close to the 15 minute target.
    some things to watch.

    Another important note you should know up-front

    we are getting only 1 work unit per host, so you need to be running at least 1 other project at the same time on a multi-core machine

    PS - Neurona is 64 bit OS only
    I tried with 32 bit linux and windows but both get the message that the client is not available for this platform

    Regarding the RAM questions:

    The project estimates are for WUs that run to about 15 minutes and which will use around 3GB - 6GB RAM

    However at present the WUs are finishing in around 3 minutes and using approx 540MB RAM

    I expect they will get longer and bigger as we progress through the sample space.

    luckily the bandwidth requirements are fairly low, at least for now.

    There was a short blip of no work for about an hour that just finished a few moments ago.
    The Beta phase has commenced.
    He has released the 1/2 million Phase II work units into the queue.
    With a quorum of 2 that's 1 million tasks.
    And it's still invite only so we have a feeding frenzy opportunity

    I just did a quick tally across my host details on the project and I find that I have completed 2,076 tasks in just over 48 hours.

    More info on volume of work completed versus credit.
    The "Pending" link doesn't show any WUs pending validation.
    BUT, if you go into "Tasks" and select the 'pending' filter at the top, you will probably find you have plenty that are pending.
    I have noticed that this has started to be the case on many projects.

    Memory requirements are increasing - won't run on my laptop anymore
    Still Invite only, but - as above - AMD Users can send me a PM for an Invite Code.
