I can just picture a bunch of rumors flying for weeks, and the Mr. Woltman comes on and bursts everybody's bubble by saying the instruction set won't help and he isn't going to use it.

Just look at the second post. He thinks they will probably useful.

Anything new with regard to AVX?

I'm still working on another project before beginning the AVX rewrite.

Just curious. Thanks for all your work.

After being correct with my LL-result-positive-test-email-test on the 200... exponent I would bet it is GPU P-1 coding. If the project wouldn't deal with GIMPS he wouldn't have posted it here. ;-) And 26.6 wouldn't be called "another project". Or it's simply the spring work in his garden. We'll see. Looking forward to it.
