Hey all,
basically the new Version 5 client of dpad should come out by April/late april...lot of fixes and additions to what it will compute...
v5.xx will be considered where the true testing of things begins. The current version is just ironing out bugs, getting feasibility of muon transfer, etc.
also an update on v5 stats:
In v5 I was planning to count the number of particle-timesteps done in a simulation, which will be fairly close to proportional to raw FLOP count. This will be a huge number (I'd guess roughly 1 billion per simulation) so I'll scale it down by 10^6 and report those instead of the "number of particles" field. Anyway that will make the scoring pretty much as fair as it gets for a complex DC project.

so higher FLOP count the better the stats 😉
