Version 1.20 of the Collatz Sieve has been released for testing. (You have to enable beta/test apps in your preferences in order to get collatz_sieve workunits.) The code has been cleaned up since 1.10 and a couple bugs fixed. Both 32 and 64 bit versions for Linux and Windows are now available. OS X is limited to 64 bit only.

The Linux applications were compiled on Oracle's version of RHEL 6.5 which is from the CUDA 3.0 era so I'm hoping the binaries will work on other newer Linux distributions. As usual, if it doesn't, let me know.

The OS X applications were compiled on Mavericks so I have no idea whether older Macs will be able to run it or now. Supposedly, it should work for 10.5 or later but I'm not holding my breath on that one. I'm hoping the kernel will build properly on the AMD machines as I've only tested on Mavericks with an nVidia GPU.

v1.20 sieve apps have been deprecated due to validation failures
While the app runs great (except on OS X with AMD GPUs -- as usual), the WUs are failing to validate so I have deprecated the 1.20 version and am in the process of debugging the issue and hope to have a 1.21 version ready soon. 5 Sep 2015, 16:54:22 UTC
