There's a tiny weird image of something on the front page that links to this post... strange... I wonder what it is doing there. | |

Too rich for my blood :( Memory prices are headed for an all-time low this spring. The timing couldn't be better! Does the 6 GB RAM mean for 1 WU? Then even my 8 GB RAM quad could do only one at a time... That's one of the areas where the prototype Sunflower clients will change the way BURP works. The plan is that they will run workunits as a single WU that is utilising all the cores that you assign to BOINC rather than multiple different WUs each taking up a lot of memory but only utilising one core each. So your 8GB quad should be right in the sweet spot for this event. | |

Ah, multi-thread-WUs like AQUA then! Brilliant, I'm looking forward to crunch BURPs again. :-) ____________ Life is Science, and Science rules.

Hosts that qualify for the Sunflower event will soon start to receive the initial data for this movie. This will happen in a way where the data is streamed to the hosts before the actual workunits are released. Upon completion of the download the data will be kept on the host until the end of the Sunflower event and during this time it will be reused in many different sessions. | |

Hosts that qualify for the Sunflower event will soon start to receive the initial data for this movie. ... My quad downloads a 293 MB file right now named "file1882711", but has no tasks. Is this already for the movie? ____________ Life is Science, and Science rules. To the universe and beyond Proud member of BOINC@Heidelberg My BOINC-Stats ![]() | |

Hosts that qualify for the Sunflower event will soon start to receive the initial data for this movie. ... Yup, a total of around 1GB will be slowly streamed out over the next week or so. [Edit: 2011 Feb 01] First half of the data has been sent now | |

When will actual rendering begin? I don't have enough ram yet and I'm trying to wait it out until my next visa billing period ;). Is this a fair indication http://development.burp.renderfarming.net/projects/burp/roadmap ? | |
