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.

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...
