    Collatz Conjecture News

    ByeBye Wingman
    A new application has been added named "solo_collatz". This application has a quorum of 1 so credit will be granted as soon as the result is validated. Rather than wait for a second computer to return the same result, the solo application uses the CPU to double check the GPU results eliminating the need for a wingman. Multiple instances of the solo CUDA and OpenCL applications can be run on a GPU at a time via the use of an app_config.xml file if GPU utilization is lower than with previous Collatz applications.If you wish to run both GPU and CPU applications, it is suggested that you uncheck both "collatz" and "mini_collatz", check "solo_collatz" and also check "If no work for selected applications is available, accept work from other applications?" That will enable you to get mini_collatz work for you CPU and solo_collatz work for your GPU.

    That's an awesome decision and arrangement.
    I'll be very pleased if it works as described right away.
    I won't be getting back to this project for a while yet though, so if someone else tries it and sees it working, please report back to us here.
    I'm very interested to know.
