PrimeGrid's 2020 Challenge Series International Education Day Challenge

This section is where you can post topics related to Challenges from other websites, such as Formula-BOINC, SETI-Germany and BOINCstats, as well as project challenges such as from WCG, PrimeGrid et al.

As a Team, we really want to engage as many team members with these challenges, as this gives us a great way of attracting more members to our Team...plus we get to show our strengths as a Team by (hopefully) doing well in each one.

PS: I have moved lots of topics into this section where they are relevant...as you can see, we've always been happy to take part in Challenges...and long may that continue ;-)

Do they not? I’ve not really looked closely at AVX but, yes, lots of cores. I don’t have a ton of space so need to keep a high number of cores per machine. They seem to work very well, and keep on getting better ... as of 7th Feb they offer a 64 core!! :shock:

Anyway, good run all. Definitely not our smoothest effort, but a good bit of fun and a respectable result.

I’m back on TN-Grid and then will probably do the WCG run to map cancer markers 1st - 7th Feb. I think Chris C (Richard - Chris C is ‘ncoded’ on BOINC) is crunching WCG too, so that will help.
