54 digit factor to F14!!!

GIMPS has found another Fermat factor, a 54 digit factor to F14!!! What makes this unique and exciting is that it is the first factor for F14. It was found by Tapio Rajala of Finland. For more information on this discovery, see this mersenne forum thread. For more information about the factoring status of Fermat numbers, please see Wilfrid Keller's Prime factors of Fermat numbers site.

Current problems

After working well in January, since a few days ago denial of service attacks happen. Now most IP adresses are blocked... I have released a new application version 1.30 except for linux 64 bit because of a compilation problem. It should be available in a few days. -- Best Regards, Tobias Schulz

Renderfarm.fi

What is Renderfarm.fi?

First of all, Don't Panic. Let me assure you, your time and input is most valued.

Ok. Seriously speaking, Renderfarm.fi is a publicly distributed rendering service that offers anybody the chance to either render or participate in the rendering of resource intensive 3D graphics. You do not have to be an expert to be of value to the community - quite the contrary actually. In fact, in order to become an important member of our community, you need to only follow these three simple steps:

1. Create your account on Renderfarm.fi
2. Download and install BOINC
3. Attach your BOINC client to http://www.renderfarm.fi

Welcome! If you don't want or can't join your computer currently, you are more than welcome contribute through other means, for example by reviewing and commenting the videos in The Gallery. We're more than glad to have you aboard.

Remember when we projected a story to your head that Renderfarm.fi enables anybody to create high quality renders? You might wonder where are those high quality images, all I see is a bunch of streamed video outputs. The answers is that in order to get to the actual high quality images, you will need to…

The Year of the Tiger Challenge

We are kicking off the 2010 Challenge Series with the Year of the Tiger Challenge which just so happens to coincide with Valentine's Day in the West. The Tiger is the third sign in the Chinese Zodiac cycle, and it is a sign of fearlessness. It is considered incredibly brave, evidenced by its willingness to engage in battle. So whether it's your love of Tigers or love of primes, please come join us in an East & West fearless attack on Proth Primes.A 3 day (14-17 Feb) Challenge is being offered on PrimeGrid's Proth Prime Search (LLR). Builds are available for Mac, Linux, and Windows. For more information, please see this forum thread.

Project News February 1, 2010

Our database is currently pretty slow, due to a large number of ABP2 results. We are taking measures to keep the project running, but with a few restrictions: The scheduler (task sending and reporting) is disabled part of the time (clients will see a 'temporarily down for maintenance' message). The server status page has been disabled. We'll also reduce the time results are kept in the database. Hopefully we will be able to return to normal operation in a few days.

Due to maintenance work in the server room at Stanford, QCN will be down the morning (Pacific Time) of the 27th.

lowering purge time

I'm lowering the purge time (sorry) to help speed up the database. This should hopefully improve response time for the webpage and downloading new workunits.

Online Discussion

I have heard some positive responses about holding an online discussion about the results of BRaTS@Home. Therefore, it will be held on Saturday, January 23 at 1pm UTC. I will post further particulars in the forum for this new post, found here: http://maxwell.dhcp.umsl.edu/brats/forum_thread.php?id=181

Discussion Idea

While sitting down writing a post about the results of recent BRaTS@Home results, I had the idea of holding a live discussion/Q&A session. If anyone is interested in this idea, please comment to this post in the forum (http://maxwell.dhcp.umsl.edu/brats/forum_thread.php?id=180). Just an idea, and I am still going to post comments about the results.

Cuanticables, nuevo proyecto.

Hoy hemos sacado a producción Cuanticables.

Cuanticables es un proyecto desarrollado en la Universidad de Buenos Aires por el área de Materia Condensada - Sistemas Mesoscópicos. La aplicación consiste en el cálculo de propiedades de transporte electrónico en sistemas nanoscópicos desordenados. Básicamente se trata, mediante la realización de sistemas con desorden aleatorio, determinar las propiedades estadísticas de la conductancia de un sistema de muchos canales sobre el que se induce transporte electrónico mediante la aplicación de una diferencia de voltaje.
