关于s5r4/s5r5的说明:
Following an idea from Holger Pletsch which he got during the S4 results processing we are currently examining a way to reduce the computing power needed to search a certain area of parameter space. Also a bug in the current search code has been found and fixed, the effect this bug actually has on the results is also still under investigation. Currently it looks rather likely that this would at least affect the validation on Einstein@home, i.e. old and new Apps can't be run at the same time. BTW this bug fix is one reason for using the new build process.
If at least one of these issues applies, we will most likely cut the current S5R4 run short and start a new run "S5R5" with new Apps and a new workunit design (using the same data files, though). I'd consider it unlikely that I'll bring out new official "buggy" S5R4 Apps (6.05 is definitely an exception). Estimated timeframe for S5R5 (or a final decision on not to do it) is a few weeks (2-4). I'd expect S5R5 Windows Apps to have a similar switching mechanism like the current S5R4 Linux Apps (x87, SSE, SSe2), switching between three Apps that all have been built using the new process.
