[NFS@home] CUDA-based GPU sieving test

A new GPU lattice sieve for NFS, cuda-sieve, was recently released. A new app has been added to NFS@Home to test this. Currently, it's only available for nVidia Ampere or higher GPUs running x86_64 Linux. Once the code stabilizes, additional platforms will be added.

[SRBase] latest change to ll-dc app

We have removed the fixed input -v -use NO_ASM in latest WU batch

If you are running a 10xx card you must add

in app_config.xml to run this on your GPU.

For other options like -log xxx you need to change that to


//xxx for any value see FAQ

to avoid computation errors.

[SIDock@home] Project update: July 2026

Dear all,

we are glad to announce that SiDock@home has been restored after a long technical maintenance. We really appreciate your patience and are grateful for your participation! We have assigned BOINC credits for all the unfinished tasks received before the pause. Some of the forum threads or posts may be lost, but the computational results have been restored.

As the project's server has been reinstalled, you will probably need to detach and attach again in BOINC Manager.

We apologize for the inconvenience and are very thankful for your participation!

Natalia
