11/9-18/9 Gerasim@Home challenge
#11 Re: 11/9-18/9 Gerasim@Home challenge
There really isn't that much benefit to having dual boot. Gerasim doesn't have enough server to handle a major sprint like FB or Pentathlon. Yoyo used to run about 15% faster on Win but I don't know if that is still true. There was another project, I'm thinking TN Grid, that was 35% faster but after they released the latest apps it dropped to a 5% differential.

Oh, I forgot the biggest benefit to dual boot! I get to twist your tail for the next week

REALLY hoping that they chose Collatz for the next sprint

I've not been able to revive my Gerasim account. But my good friend Hugh Jarse has waddled forward & taken charge of my 2 available Win64 machines on my behalf. Not that it'll make much difference. SUSA were always going to win, & the rest of you had UBT licked long before I woke up.

Only 2000 more hours until I hit 50k on spstarter!

And not long after I posted this the project ran out of spstarter WUs. Come on Gerasim@Home, don't play those games!

Congratulations to Bryan and Scole for your performances, I thought Steve might have stopped a little early there but couldn't quite catch him.
A fun sprint.

I must have made the project admins mad. They stopped creating spstarter WUs and left me floundering for several hours.

Ah, I thought it was a deliberate easing off at the end, not you being picky
