Dear friends,
A few hours ago, the beta Playstation 3 clients expired. We apologize for
not releasing an update earlier; we’re making up for it by including in
this new version optimized OGR cores for the SPE co-processors in the
PlayStation 3, achieving a rate of 35.5 Mnodes/s for each SPE, for a total
node rate (including the PPE core) of 230+ Mnodes/s. We also fixed a bug
which caused one of the crunchers to silently stop running until the
client is restarted, so expect to see improved keyrates for RC5-72 as
well.
We’d like to mention that during the past two weeks of beta testing the
PlayStation 3 has been climbing steadily in our statistics, and currently
stands as the 4th largest CPU architecture in RC5-72, as measured by daily
contribution
and 8th overall
.
The pre-release client is available for download from our web site at
. Once again, we have
set an expiration date of 2 weeks for this beta, after which we plan to
ship an official version if all goes well.
We thank you for your continuing support. Moo! ![]:8)](https://blogs.distributed.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_tinycow.png){kind=icon}
