2) Message boards : Questions/Problems/Bugs : RAM, runtime and credits (Message 2084) Posted 1 Jul 2020 by JohnMD Post: The only thing we can do is change the specs at NFS@Home preferences which I've already notified the admin to do so. A year on and the NFS@Home Preferences section on the website still says this: lasieved - app for RSALS subproject, uses less than 0.5 GB memory: lasievee - work nearly always available, uses up to 0.5 GB memory: lasievef - used for huge factorizations, uses up to 1 GB memory: lasieve5f - used for huge factorizations, uses up to 1 GB memory: I guess the admin is just too busy ensuring there is some available disk space ;-) regards Tim lasievee now allocates more than 1.5GB
3) Message boards : News : Badges (Message 2048) Posted 22 Aug 2019 by JohnMD Post: I know badges are not a hot topic here, but I'm going to suggest that some intermediate badges levels are appropriate, specifically: 250K, 2.5M, 25M, 250M The perpetrators should really have had second thoughts when they came up with 10 5 2 5 2 etc. Some of us have just an occasional (typically laptop) computer. Some have a normal desktop running most of the day. Some have both. Some have a gaming computer with lots of unused power. Some have a computer park. The scale needs to encompass many orders of magnitude - with incentive for everybody. That means a relatively even geometric progression. So - decide how many approximately even levels within 10 - and stick to it !
