I don't recall either of those coming up before. I dunno what Donate is? Well I guess bring em up again end of this month and we'll add them onto the April ballot?

But to me it seems a little creepy to help folks crack passwords?

As long as it is only CIA and FBI passwords and not mine.

Not managed to get any gpu work from poem yet...

Hmmm, plenty of POEM CPU WU's, but no GPU? See "Tasks by application" here:
http://boinc.fzk.de/poem/server_status.php

Well looks like POEM is the winner so uhhhhh....kicks a stone....ummmm either we keep voting and agree on a back up project or crunch anything you want when WU's run dry...

It says 3 WU's available now. How should we divide them up? Laughing

Poem GPU work has been very spotty, but eventually WUs do come through.

Remember that even though it is an OpenCL app, that it is only up for ATI cards. The app works best if you leave a cpu core open and even force two or more WUs to process at a time. This can be accomplished with a app_info file. Even with two WUs and one core open, I am only getting 30-40% gpu utilization. GPU work is definitely not up for prime time yet. You need to work at it to get things going.

Today's PG Challenge has been effectively cancelled. They're still running it, but it won't count for the series points due to several issues, see thread:
