Good to hear from you. Probably just like everybody else I am looking for a period of stability and the restart of the Childhood cancer project.
Cheers

That I7-6700 is no slouch even if it is some years old. With any luck you will be able to keep a full supply of OPNG on those units. So far the consensus is there is not yet enough of the OPNG units to go around. Give it another week and lets see if the supply improves.

I have a ARM device running Windows. I installed virtual box and it is getting task from all projects. If I look a the details on stats.free-dc, it thinks the computer is "AuthenticAMD Virtual CPU". Looks like with virtual box it doesn't matter the hardware, it just works.

You were spot on, Sgt.Joe. The OPNG units started flowing on April 19th. The past 2 days reminded me of that "stress test" that IBM did back in April of 2021 when they essentially unleashed unlimited OPNG work units and we were pulling in some pretty big numbers as a team. They weren't coming quite that fast this time, but I was just shy of 10 million WCG points yesterday on the 28th and my two GPUs have been humming away fairly steadily today. Looks like Corsair09 and umakemep might have fired up a GPU or two in addition to all of our regular contributors. From what I gather from the OPN1 supply update thread, it sounds like there were 12,500 remaining batches of OPNG units on April 21st and that about 300 were being released per day and thus we maybe had about 30 days left before all OPNG work units were depleted unless the researchers sent new ones. However, it seems like that number of batches per day probably shot up quite a bit yesterday and today, so I'm just enjoying crunching them while they're around and getting mentally prepared they might end at any time : )

Hope that spring is finally here for the Minnesotans. I read an article in the St. Cloud Times that mentioned it was the snowiest winter season there on record since the 1960s with over 88 inches. Hopefully that number will not get any bigger in May! : )

Good to hear from both of you. With the release of all those GPU units, I see impressive numbers. Both of you must be keeping the machines humming.
My last snow pile finally melted about 4 days ago. Now you still see some impressive snow piles in the parking lots of a few places, but they look pretty bad. They are almost universally black or dark brown from all the dirt on their surface. That dirt layer acts as an insulator, so it would not surprise me to see a few remnants into June.
Unfortunately that relatively quick melt of all that snow has raised the water table where I live. It is probably about 1 inch (2.54 cm) higher than my basement floor. Thus I have water running across the floor. Fortunately, I do not have a finished basement and everything is stored off the floor. My sump pump runs about once every 30 seconds at the moment so at least that is keeping up. I am really looking forward to about a week of warm sunny days to lower the water table.
Crunch on.
Cheers
