I just supplemented my computer with a second 5850 card, and I am now
computing 2 tables at once. The instruction for doing this is rather
easy.

1) Make a new folder with gen_table.py and A5Brook.so
2) Download new table parameters to a51id.cgi
3) Write "export BRT_ADAPTER=1" before running gen_table.py

Thus the table will be calculated on the specified GPU (1)

Currently my computer is outputting 1000 chains / second. What I really
need now is for the python script to automatically fetch new table
parameters when a table has been completed (easy to do really, I may
comitt this soon).

But when I am not doing A51 (after all it is -25 centigrade outside) I
also wrote a Mandelbulb renderer. Sample video here (in HD):

Then I had a brainwave: Making a combined Mandelbulb + A5/1 screensaver
for the unwashed masses (Windows) should easily get us all the tables we
need :-)


Happy new year!
