There have been a few small batches of 3 tasks each. latest one is running and producing data. These are the 4 core tasks that can go up to 26GB of RAM usage. Once the test batches are all finished, we can expect a larger batch to go out.

From Glenn

There will be a short pause in testing due to the upload server being moved to the new JASMIN cloud server at STFC UK. Few more tests needed then will be sending out the full batch.

1600 nice juicy 4 core OIFS tasks going right now. (Won't be sent unless you have 28GB of RAM free. (They use up to 26.6GB for a task.) You only get one sent per instance of boinc, so running more than one requires either multiple boinc instances on your Linux machine or a VM. (I am running a second in a VM. - I really should have gone for 128GB of RAM instead of 64. That way I could have ran a few more.
