1) Message boards : Number crunching : WU / task creation flow (Message 1818)
Posted 9 May 2020 by Jan Vaclavik

I see.

Flow of new tasks is really low. As per below Numbers, is 588 each 15 mins, around 2350 tasks / hour.

Even a tiny contributor like me, who has 16 cpu cores, I require 4 tasks / hour average.
4 / 2350 = 0,17 %.

Current flow could not even support 1000 contributors like me, of course as soon as someone comes with 200 cores, server wont be able to feed all users :(

Aurum makes a good point about the project having increased demand due to an ongoing event.
That being said, the project has 944 users with recent credit. While some may have multiple machines with many cores, others compute only few WUs per week. Under normal circumstances, the project may generate enough WUs to supply all its crunchers.

2) Message boards : Number crunching : SSE3 optimization and Android binary (Message 1809)

The optimized versions (SSE2, AVX, FMA) of the application ...

Somewhat off-topic, but are there any plans to add Windows FMA app?
It would not impact my computer, but at least some of those Windows machines currently running AVX app should be able to benefit, right?
