There used to be work on a BOINC [EMAIL PROTECTED] client, but this work has stopped due to personnel turnover.

[EMAIL PROTECTED] doesn't duplicate work, each WU is only assigned once by default. If a WU has not been returned when the Preferred Deadline is reached, then the WU is assigned to another client. Some newer WUs are duplicate work in a sense, they verify the results of the new SMP client & core on single CPU/core machines. Each assigned WU is verified at upload, the information used in this verification is stored in the queue.dat (which you can dump with qd).
