I´m going to test this

I´m going to test this optimized version on this: Opteron 144@2,2GHz@DFI nForce IV ultra infinity, 1024 MB RAM@400MHz@dualchannel. Now, a time for one "normal" wu is about 4,350 seconds. Just wait and you will know it too...

First result in for

First result in for K6-2/500:

28:59:10, Not too shabby for a slug.

WOW, previous run times with Albert were in the 55-60 hr ballpark.

VERY Sweet!

This is all quite amazing!

This is all quite amazing!
May I propose a hearty round of applause to akosf?

for( int i = 1; i < SOME_BIG_NUMBER; ++i )
   {
   Clap();
   Grin();
   Print( 'This guy rocks!' );
   ++kudos;
   }

Cheers, Mike. :-)

"normal" is about 6,600seconds. Great job!

Puts new life back in these old cpu's and will save me both time and money.

Erm, no. Related just to credit, the new boostapp will do nothing. The only one who's getting use out of it is the project itself and science intended crunchers (like me) ;-). AFAIK simply because your credit is just referred to your crunching speed (FLOPS/IOPS) and time (crunching 10k seconds on 2 wus instead of 1 does't change the total time spent for the project, it just cuts the credit in half per wu).

I can do more work, in less time, on the same hardware, for the same cost!


Yes, more work units are done :-)

Did I say anything about credit? It saves time because it does more WU's in the same amount of time and I don't have to think about upgrading the systems. That's pretty simple isn't it?
