Distributed.net is een platform waar momenteel een tweetal distributedcomputing-projecten op draaien. Aan beide projecten nemen de ons welbekende Dutch Power Cows deel en bij OGR-25 staan ze ook nog eens op de eerste plek. Op de pre-release-pagina is een nieuwe PlayStation 3 client verschenen die 2.9014.502 als versienummer heeft meegekregen. Deze versie is wederom slechts 2 weken te gebruiken en geeft weer een behoorlijk snelheidswinst. De aankondiging en lijst met veranderingen zien er als volgt uit:
Dear friends,
A few hours ago, the beta Playstation 3 clients expired. We apologize for not releasing an update earlier; we're making up for it by including in this new version optimized OGR cores for the SPE co-processors in the PlayStation 3, achieving a rate of 35.5 Mnodes/s for each SPE, for a total node rate (including the PPE core) of 230+ Mnodes/s. We also fixed a bug which caused one of the crunchers to silently stop running until the client is restarted, so expect to see improved keyrates for RC5-72 as well.
We'd like to mention that during the past two weeks of beta testing the PlayStation 3 has been climbing steadily in our statistics, and currently stands as the 4th largest CPU architecture in RC5-72, as measured by daily contribution and 8th overall.
The pre-release client is available for download from our web site. Once again, we have set an expiration date of 2 weeks for this beta, after which we plan to ship an official version if all goes well.
We thank you for your continuing support. Moo! ]:8)
Version 2.9015-502 :
- new: cellbe: Added SPE OGR cores
- fix: linux: Fix race condition in heavily multithreaded scenarios causing the first cruncher to randomly stop running until client is restarted.
