KWSN Orbiting Fortress

[KWSN - News]

Lee and I wanted to post a notice and let everyone know that things are running well - so, we're going to start making some changes.k=141941 is about 30 tests away from being tested to n=2^22 - far beyond the other k's we are testing. Unfortunately, a prime has not yet been yielded. We are examining where we want LLR to go next. For the time being, the shorter, double-check workunits are being run.In the next week or so, we will be migrating from PerlBOINC to 'true' BOINC. While we do not anticipate any major problems or items of notice to the users, there may be small periods of downtime while we switch. We'll make every effort to post them in the forums beforehand. Some extra features, like the sieve & llr range pages, may not be updated or available during the transition.We are also planning to release all new clients when we switch to the new server code. Linux 64-bit sieve will return, and we will be upgrading all the sieve clients to the latest versions of sr2sieve, with the goal of an additional speed improvement. We also will release a new DAT file for sieve at that time. LLR will receive a new wrapper, with the hopes of finally nailing the dreaded queue crash bug.All in all, it should be a busy (and much more exciting) next couple of weeks - stay tuned for details!
