Winter Solstice Challenge
----------------------------------
18 Dec 2009 17:47 UTC – 21 Dec 2009 17:47 UTC
A heads-up for the last challenge of the year! We'll be crunching AP 26 wu's for three days.
UBT are in 18th position overall, let's see if we can gain a few places on the last challenge!

Let's see if we can have a good challenge to finish the year.
We're currently 18th and need 12.5 points more than Duke University to gain a place.

The Winter Solstice Challenge
2009-12-18 04:47 UTC
Only 13 hours remain till the Winter Solstice Challenge. The pre-fires have a nice red glow, and we're expecting them to turn a deep blue once the Challenge begins. Who knows...by the end of the Challenge they may even become white hot.
Please come join us in a Winter Festival that is sure warm you up. The top spots for the 2009 Challenge Series are up for grabs.
A 3 day (72 hour) Challenge is being offered on PrimeGrid's AP26 Project. Builds are available for Mac, Linux, Windows, Solaris, Cell/BE Linux (Playstation 3), and for the first time, GPU-CUDA23 app. For more information on how to join, please see this forum thread.

Looks like we were looking in the wrong direction :?
I doubt if we can overtake Duke now, and SETI USA are certain to overtake both of us (and a lot more).

Not that it makes much of a difference but I'll switch over to this project for a bit. :)
