Prime Grid - Leonids challenge

idb · Post by **idb** » Wed Nov 10, 2010 11:16 am

The next challenge starts in about 7 days time (17 November @ 18:00 UTC). It's a nice simple 24 hour challenge using the Sophie Germain Prime Search so I thought I'd give a little extra warning to, hopefully, tempt more participants from the team.

We're currently in 24th place overall, but in more danger of being overtaken than of improving the position, so the more participants the merrier.

I'll put the lappy on this. The quad's already earmarked for WCG.

Not bad for just 14 team members playing :lol:

6 hours to go, and we are still in with a chance of finishing ahead of the French! If anyone has an 8 core machine sitting idle then now would be a good time :D

Blast - just saw this thread and joined, I have 37 minutes remaining :/

Probably a bit too late now, but thanks for trying anyway.

Team positions at 17:30 were

19 Special: Off-Topic 62933.89
20 L'Alliance Francophone 54786.39
21 UK BOINC Team 52728.16
22 BOINC.SK 48859.38
23 Free-DC 33982.08

Should be safe from being overtaken though :roll:

Any upcoming challenges approaching so I can write a big sign on my wall?

idb · Post by **idb** » Thu Nov 18, 2010 5:52 pm

18th to 21st of December is the last one this year. All the challenge details are available from the PrimeGrid home page.

http://www.primegrid.com/

BTW Don't forget to update BOINC before 18:00 UTC. Only workunits that are fully completed before that time count in the challenge.

So you did!. I thought the stats update posted at 18:00:54 would be the final one, albeit preliminary, but I was obviously wrong. Some results, such as roots, are still trickling through.

I'll post a final final preliminary table when things have settled down :D
