PrimeGrid Lunar Landing 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 ;-)

PrimeGrid Lunar Landing Challenge

Post by UBT - bobuk »

Welcome to the Lunar Landing Challenge

PrimeGrid’s Challenge series continues with the Lunar Landing Challenge.
Please come join us in commemorating the 39th Anniversary of the lunar landing by Apollo 11.
A 3 day (72 hour) Challenge is being offered on PrimeGrid’s Prime Sierpinski Problem sieve application.

To participate, please select only the PSP sieve project in your PrimeGrid preferences section.
The challenge will begin 18 July 2008 00:00 UTC and end 21 July 2008 00:00 UTC. (Lunar Landing happened on 20 July 1969.)
Application builds are available for Linux 32 & 64 bit and Windows 32 & 64 bit.
Note: 64 bit Windows and 64 bit Linux benefit from a 1.5X speed advantage over 32 bit...so 1.5X the credit. :)

Scoring Information
Scores will be kept for individuals and teams.
Only work units issued AFTER 18 July 2008 00:00 UTC and received BEFORE 21 June 2008 00:00 UTC will be considered for credit.
Since this is a fixed credit project, we’ll be using cobblestones for scoring.



(more details to come)

Also just a reminder the workunits are now longer, taking about 18min 25 sec on a Q6600 for 15.35 credits.

There still some original 7.40 credit & some of the older 12.28 credit increased workunits floating about.
However they are probably rare and just workunits that have passed the deadline and have been sent out again.

24 hours late - but finally got all my processors onto it (3 out of 10 refused to cooperate until an hour ago!)!

In pos 102 now - guess the best I can hope for is a top 80.  :(

Still .... another few days and I can celebrate my 1st mill credits!!  :D
