May 10, 2009 Scientific news update
See the last update on the scientific results here.

Apr 20, 2009 Huge THANK YOU to all the participants
The last month marathon is over. About 5 mln jobs were crunched, with much success. In particular, the last batch was extremely successful and we owe a huge THANK YOU to all who participated. We reached the overall effective throughput equivalent to a dedicated cluster of 6,000 CPUs!!!!!! This is far beyond our previous result. Some of the scientific results of the last run are surprising. We will rerun a part of the experiment to make sure the results are correct, and if they are, these are very good news. We will disclose the details if the results are confirmed. We will also open another thread in our scientific forum to discuss the results of these batches. Stay tuned!.

Apr 7, 2009 New batch with 3.3 million jobs
The new batch with 3.3 million jobs has just been started. Thanks to all who were patient enough to wait for this batch.We made every effort to fix all the problems encountered during the previous batch, and hope that this time DDoS will not disturb us. This batch is not a challenge but a regular run, but we do hope it will be crunched quickly. Good luck to us all.
