Eternity 2 Solver v2.1

Puller script improvement: unlimited retry policy for results and events publishing.

Eternity 2 Solver v2.0

New "iterative version" of the Solver (non-recursive).

Intended to be slightly more performant than the recursive version.

This is the first step to consider further refactoring into a GPU-compatible algorithm.

Eternity 2 Solver v1.9

Solver Performance Improvements

Eternity 2 Solver v1.8

The Puller script is now posting lifecycle Events to the server (Started, Waiting, Solving, Reporting, Stopped...)

Eternity 2 Solver v1.7.6

• The requested Job size is now directly configured using an Environment Variable (no more modulation)

  • in order to fine tune how many Solvers will solve each Job Size precisely

• Now calling the Server to free the current job, just before being interrupted (when receiving SIGTERM)

  • the freed job will then be available directly for the next Solver.

Eternity 2 Solver v1.7.5
