[SRBase] All apps have been replaced
by the new prst app. There are some issues with similar CPUs and Riesel Bases (-1), Sierpinski Base is fine:
GenuineIntel Intel(R) Celeron(R) J4125 CPU @ 2.00GHz [Family 6 Model 122 Stepping 8]
GenuineIntel Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU N3150 @ 1.60GHz [Family 6 Model 76 Stepping 3]
GenuineIntel Intel(R) Pentium(R) Silver J5005 CPU @ 1.50GHz [Family 6 Model 122 Stepping 1]
The gwnum must have a bug, already reported to the dev.
If you have such errors with these CPUs, disable work for -1 bases until this is fixed.

[PrimeGrid] SGS may end sooner than expected
With the server upgrade accomplished, we were able to convert SGS to fast double checking. This, by itself, essentially doubles the speed of SGS, and when combined with increased participation this has SGS on a pace to exhaust its sieve file (i.e., the nominal end of the project) before the planned shutdown date of December 15th. The new plan is therefore to let SGS run to the end of the sieve file, regardless of when that occurs. The forum discussion thread about the SGS shutdown is here.

has 532875410 orthogonal mates which puts it on the 18th place of the rating which include now 5445 positions.
Now "high part" of spectra of ODLS-12 looks like this (square # 26 marked by red):
Thank you for project attention, support and donation of CPU time!

MacOS 14 Sonoma breaks BOINC screensaver
The screensaver doesn't exit properly. To force it to exit, hold down the command and shift keys while pressing Q to log out of the system, then log back in.
We hope to fix this problem soon. Until then, if you run MacOS 14, disable the BOINC screensaver.
