New BA units p6905, p6906, and p8102.

New -bigadv units announced;

We are releasing several new bigadv and bigbeta projects:

Project 6905: base points 18165, preferred deadline 4 days, final deadline 10 days, k-factor 38.05
Project 6906: base points 25233, preferred deadline 4.5 days, final deadline 12 days, k-factor 37.31
Project 8102: base points 22607, preferred deadline 2.4 days, final deadline 4 days, k-factor 49.43

These should complete our move to the points guidelines we adopted around the beginning of this calendar year. We do continue to periodically assess bigadv performance and update our points guidelines and benchmarking procedures. We may perform some minor tweaking, but we expect the next assessment to take place around the end of this calendar year.

Thanks for participating in the bigadv program and for folding!

I got an 8102 wu on my 4P system. It has only completed 10% so far, but here are the preliminary results.

8101 wu = 250K PPD
8102 wu = 415K PPD

Another announcement to go along with the first;

We announced at the beginning of the year that the bigadv program would be moving to clients with 16+ cores. At this point, we are only serving 16+ BA work units. We do continue to evaluate the program and may make changes (in either direction) in the future as both the scientific work we are doing and the capabilities of donor machines continue to change.

Thanks for folding!

Thanks, everyone, for testing 8102. The good news and the bad news is that we will adjust points to bring them in line with 6901, 6902, 6905, 6906, 8101. So by all means enjoy a points bump in our initial stages of release, but please do be aware that it may not last.

BOOOOOOOOO !!!!

Any dual lga 1366 tpf's yet from anyone?

I thought Edward's 415k sounded a bit high... especially when his 8101 bench was at 250k. I get right at 300k with my 6174s. Hopefully I can land a 8102 before they change the points... no luck yet though.

8102 on 6174 is ~500K PPD

I got 2 8102 wu's over the weekend, but since then all I have gotten is 8101 wu's.
