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
Welcome to the scoreboard melter65, and to phoghorn who appeared yesterday.
The wus are a bit of a struggle but I think it is a bit of a shame that the challenge is not slightly longer. That might have made it possible to do a little manipulation (not running all available cores for example) to eke out an extra workunit or two - made it more "challenging" :D
As it stands all you can really do is sit back and let the machines get on with it...
I should have another 8 tasks finishing in the next 20 hours (unforseen problems permitting) so, with a bit of luck, I should finish in the top 100.
Not sure where the team will end up, 15-20 looks likely.
I've got another 2x60hr wu's running on the lappy (@22% done) and still running 4 of the 'biggies' on the quad, looking like 150hrs long (@48% done)
Of course we need to do the long wu challenges as well as the shorter, prettier ones. Cleverly, PG challange results add up over the year for a grand total at the end of the year!
I'm not knocking PG for this, it's a good way of ensuring teams don't just 'cherry pick' the popular challenges.
:D :D :D
