20th June: Website now working again! - and after 21 years UBT is still here and we continue to crunch :-) (PS: I still have no idea where the UBT logo went !)
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.
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
