BURP aims to develop a publicly distributed system for rendering 3D
animations.
Currently this is an alpha project which means that certain
restrictions apply. Not all uploaded sessions will actually be
rendered right away - and sometimes you will not be able to contact the
schedulers for short periods of time.
Please note that this project is
still in its testing phase and does not yet provide the security and
stability of a full-blown BOINC project.

The network connection to
the main server has now been restored.
On an unrelated sidenote our ISP
has upgraded the incomming connection to the main server with 50% with no
additional expenses. This will directly affect the number of simultaneous
sessions that BURP is capable of rendering.

Due to a human error our main
server is without a network connection. Countermeassures have been put in

A new
technique named "Background priority" is being tested on the scheduler at
the moment. 368 and 380 have both been selected as test-bunnies for this
feature. Background priority scheduling is for optimizing total throughput
on lengthy sessions as much as 25% to 50%.
More details can be found the forum
thread.

An alpha
version of the CATS utility (to download "raw" session output frames) has

Please try it out if you are interested and report any
bugs/suggestions/ideas you get while using it.

The credentials needed for a
workunit to finish have been changed slightly:
A workunit now needs 3
results instead of 2 to be equal in order to validate. Furthermore the
initial number of results per workunit has been decreased from 5 to 4 to
increase performance.
This change takes effect on new sessions only,
old ones will still have the 5/2 setting.
