Server issues resolved
For the past few days a protection module on our web server was rejecting a large share of incoming requests. It affected not only the website, but also scheduler requests and result uploads, so many of you ran into failed uploads and reports, and pages that loaded only every other try. The cause has been identified and the module is now switched off. The website, the scheduler and the upload server are all responding normally again. There is nothing you need to do — the BOINC client retries…
base S136 Megaprime
SkyHighWeFly, a member of the team Antarctic Crunchers found a megaprime for base S136. The prime 16165*136^487629+1 has 1.040.380 digits and entered the T5k PrimePages.
5.5.1.7-testnet
Gridcoin 5.5.1.7 — Testnet Release This is a testnet pre-release covering 33 merged pull requests since 5.5.1.5-testnet (15 August 2026). It is a consolidation drop rather than a feature release: most of the work is security hardening, a large internal refactor that finally retires main.h, and packaging fixes that make multiprocess usable on macOS and Debian. As with 5.5.1.5, no consensus rule change activates in this build. Please run it, use it normally, and report anything that looks…
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.
5.5.1.5-testnet
Gridcoin 5.5.1.5 — Testnet Release This is a testnet pre-release covering 157 merged pull requests since 5.5.1.3-testnet (15 June 2026). It is the largest testnet drop in the 5.5.x line, and it is primarily a soak release: a great deal of new machinery is present and ready to be exercised, and no consensus rule changes activate in it. Please run it, use it normally, and report anything that looks wrong. No consensus change activates — and two features are dormant because of it BlockV15Height…

Holiday time
Hi, it is holiday from 7/8 to 22/8 I hope that all will be fine during that time
base S984 Megaprime
Thylia, a member of the team L'Alliance Francophone found a megaprime for base S984. The prime 160*984^405697+1 has 1.214.252 digits and entered the T5k PrimePages.
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 --passthrough_child -use NO_ASM in app_config.xml to run this on your GPU. For other options like -log xxx you need to change that to --passthrough_child -log xxx //xxx for any value see FAQ to avoid computation errors.
Antibody maturation
Antibodies undergo a process called maturation in which they undergo a series of mutations as they “learn” how to recognize molecules foreign to our body. We’d love to be able to engineer new…
Another new Cunningham project record
NFS@Home again set a new Cunningham project record for the largest penultimate prime factor. 3,709+ factors into 159-digit and 168-digit prime factors, beating the 155-digit record set in April. Congratulations again to all of the project volunteers!
Server move and brief outage
The Bowman lab at U Penn recently underwent a massive migration of our physical hardware.

5.5.1.0-hotfix
This is a hotfix release to fix the crash on mainnet due to a logic error in a divide by zero guard in the scraper/autogreylist code.

Another year, another BOINC Pentathlon. Once again, welcome back! NFS@Home has been chosen for the Sprint discipline starting May 16 at midnight UTC. Good luck to all! (Including the server!)
Research Update from the MCM Team (June 2026)
We continue to explore genes with top scores in association to lung cancer as part of the Mapping Cancer Markers (MCM) project. This update focuses on the SLC5A1 (solute carrier family 5 member 1) gene. The gene is mainly associated with regulating the uptake of glucose and galactose from the intestine.
New App "ECM P2 (20 GB RAM)" in test
I'm currently testing a new app for ECM which requires up to 20 GB of RAM. If you have such a system and want to help testing, please enable the app in your project settings. Validation and credit granting is not yet implemented for this app.
5.5.0.0-mandatory

The release includes 79 new test cases and 123 new source files. This is a mandatory upgrade activating block v13 ("Fern II") and block v14 (HTLC) consensus rules on mainnet. All mainnet nodes must upgrade before the v13 activation height (3,989,800, approximately 8 weeks…
Markov state models (MSMs)
Folding@home lets us generate a lot more simulation data than is typically possible otherwise. Historically, lots of simulation studies have relied on a few simulations, let’s say one to ten. With…
New Cunningham project record
The recently completed factorization of 12,311- into 155-digit and 181-digit prime factors set a new Cunningham project record for the largest penultimate prime factor. Congratulations to all of the project volunteers!
