Okay, here's a few things. 1.) I put the results we have so far into a table and sorted it by the one-thread computing times. 2.) I made a few changes to the program: 2a) Not entering (or entering an invalid) number of threads to use will now make the program iterate through all available...

That would be great. The so-far known number of solutions for n = 26 has been computed back in 2009. Time to crack the n = 27! :) Does not matter much. Do you have this nice piece of hardware?

It doesn't use anything random at all. Look at the source code, it uses deterministic backtracking. Contributin':

Today I accidentally stumbled over the "Eight queens puzzle". It's a game of placing n chess queens on an n×n chessboard so that no two queens threaten each other. Computationally, the challenge is to find the total number of solutions to that problem for differently sized (n) chessboards. The...

Thanks, but well, that link is not too great. There's a separate section in the forum there, follow this link. Eventually the program will be released via the download section on the main page.

Over in the forums of TechInferno.com some guys have just picked up working on a new BIOS editor software for, so far, mobile Radeon BIOSes. Until now, only a Dell 7970m BIOS is supported, but the guys are clever coders and may come up with more flexible versions shortly. It's very worth...

Read the in-program FAQ section, would you?

Sorry, I'm afraid it's not coming any soon. You see, first of all I don't have a lot of spare time for this at the moment. Second, the structure of the BIOS changed to a noticable degree with the 7xx0 generation cards, so supporting them would be a lot of effort to put in. And third, it's...

That's not an issue but a very wanted behaviour. Wrote about it a lot, just roam the forums, would you?

Could you (or someone else) send/post a 7970 BIOS?

Since AMD made almost any interesting changes to BIOSes virtually impossible I have little incentive to put any effort into it. Furthermore, I'm currently very engaged in my job... :rolleyes:

6770 will work as good or bad as supported 6850/6870, for example.

As far as I know, large parts of the catalyst drivers are implemented in C# (the CCC, at least). That's why you need the .NET framework to install the driver, which is very annoying for a fresh windows installation as many people may know around here... :laugh: Anyway, C# software is a lot...

Yes, it's a digital signature. I talked about it a lot in the threads around here. You can also view this 32-bytes-signature with RBE's built-in hex editor. I don't know. I'm not a reverse engineer, nor do I know too much about the driver architecture... :ohwell:

Sorry for being snoopy, but in what way do you earn money with that? Just curious. I have the binary readily compiled. Maybe we'll wait some more days so you can bring some BIOS examples. If you would like to have a beta version prematurely, just send a PM. That's somewhat difficult to...
