P6903 64-bit Linux only -bigadv WU

[C.C.Reed]

Anybody else pull one yet? I got one this morning on my 2P Opteron machine. Should be done late Friday. My PPD with it as it sits is 84657 and the total WU credit is ~315000. I should have my new motherboard next week. Having a hardware issue with my current Quad Opteron board as it is only allowing 16 cores total.

We are preparing to release a new A5 bigbeta/bigadv project. This one will be a little larger than the current generation of A5 projects, and it will enable us to tackle a new set of important scientific questions.

Because the work units are a bit larger, we are setting higher memory and processor limits:
2G RAM, 12 cores
We may adjust both of these as necessary.
We'll also start these work units out as 64-bit Linux only.

Initial points values and deadlines are similarly subject to change but currently stand at:
Base points: 30964
Deadline: 17 days
Preferred deadline: 10.2 days
k-factor: 26.86
