It only uses bandwidth, not CPU.

I am also willing to help with the alpha and or beta tests. I have several machines (both Linux and Windows) to test on.

Paulie · 2006-02-09, 04:30

I'd love to sign up for either or both. I have handful of machines to use, could even throw in a Linux box or two of them instead of Win.

This is so cool, gonna party like it's 1997! :D

No, 1997, that's when I was participating in the testing of the PrimeNet 2.6 Internet prototype for Prime95 14.4.

Paulie really spun the way-back machine dial 9 years ! Prime95 14.4 had a dangling DLL hook George had the foresight to provide, for which I made a server RPC primenet.dll that managed a worktodo file and read the results file. Good times.

Teams will be managed entirely on the server's web site. A computer is the v5 identity 'atom', though individual CPUs can be assigned different kinds of work. A computer's owner is established when the client first registers the computer with v5, but thereafter ownership is managed entirely on the server's web site, similar to teams.

This scheme maximizes flexibility and convenience while tightening and fixing control, ownership and admin issues we have with v4 accounts and teams.

will there be the ability to shutdown the client uninstall the client and upgrade the client. because then you could do a mass deployment and if it doesnt work voot take it all back -_-

I have a copy of Prime95 14.4 for moo, just in case v5 blows up his computer.

I'd also like to volunteer to help... I can bring 3 PC's (4 Processors) to bear on the test.
