We are starting a Beta test for Computing for Sustainable Water today that will test a code optimization. This change is to address the runtime discrepancy between windows XP and Windows 7. The change is also beneficial to Mac and Linux at the same time. We are expecting to see an increase in efficiency by 400-600% from our initial testing. This means if your computer ran a work unit in about 4 hours, you will probably complete a work unit in around an hour.

The application version will be testing work units that have already run through the grid to make sure the results match what was sent initially. We will be sending out 5000 work units with Zero Redundancy (ZR) but since it is a new application version additional copies will be sent out.

Thanks,
