First of all, thanks to everyone participating in the project! I've noticed today that solved work units come in so fast that the server can't keep up. I had to double the size of each work unit (together with the credit for it) to reduce the load on the server. Keep crunching! Thanks again! |

Does this mean they're going to use 16GB of RAM now as well? |

No, GPU and CPU RAM requirements stay the same. |

Okay, thanks for the update. |

I like the new work unit size. With the more powerful GPU'S it makes sense. Thanks for being so attentive to the project. |

Yes I do also. Granted some of my slower GPUs aren't too happy about it. Haha. Thanks for working on a solution quickly. We really appreciate it. |

I thought my GPU frequency had dropped because the computing time for each task had doubled, until I saw this post. (@_@;) |

@Admin: I just found this thread because I was wondering why the WU I have keeps running past its deadline while in the past it returned on time. I run on CPU and doubling the size maybe fine for GPU but for those who run on CPU you should also increase the deadline. |

I've increased the deadline for new work units to 1 week. It is enough for all modern CPUs, if you run BOINC on more than 1 CPU core. |

Not really, cause I still haven't gotten replies for my questions about Apple Silicon and Windows 11 ARM support... |
