Upgrade plans to OS
At the moment the VM is very unstable due a corrupt file system (4 crashes last time) which is needed to repair. Also I want to upgrade Ubuntu 12.04 to 14.04 then 16.10. To to this I must backup the VM to start some testing. At this time no new registrations were available. I will wait until all WUs are back. More infos are coming soon until the current run is finished. 18 Nov 2016, 11:08:58 UTC · Comment

SRBase - 2 years review
The project has passed the second year.

Compare with the last year the following process was made:

2014-2015 - 87M WUs processed, 1 base solved, 314 bases unstarted
2015-2016 - 88M WUs processed, 5 bases solved, 297 bases unstarted
total - 175M WUs processed, 6 bases solved, 297 bases unstarted

The computing power of 20TFLOP was also reached. Some of the old badges got a redesign and 2 new badges for Megaprimes and Bases solved were setup.

A new Samsung portable SSD 2TB was installed today and the important backups were made.

Whats planned next?
Finishing all 15-25k ranges for base R63, process some of the unstarted bases.

A big thx to all users to made this possible! Looking forward... 27 Oct 2016, 18:27:41 UTC · Comment
