#1 NumberFields@home Subfield 5 entering final phase

Post by Newshound »


Subfield 5 is now on it's final batch (16x12).



This is the first batch of WUs generated since the app was optimized. As a result, run times will be going up. These WUs average 2 hour run times on my AMD Ryzen 2990WX. Note there are 1.6 million of them; with the unoptimized app it would have required 16 million, so this is a huge improvement.



I will be mixing in some subfield 6 WUs with this batch. These were generated a while ago for the unoptimized app, so will run very quickly by comparison. If I were to run them independently, it might put too much of a strain on the server, so I figured this is a good way to get them done (without having to re-generate them which can be tedious).
