BOINC Pentathlon 2012

The 2012 BOINC Pentathlon is now available for signups, I don't know if we signed up yet but the available projects in each discipline are as follows.

Showbag
All BOINC projects can be suggested
GPU
Collatz
Distributed Rainbow Table Generator
Einstein
GPUGrid
Milkyway
Moo! Wrapper
Primegrid
SETI@home
Physics & Chemistry (CPU)
Constellation
Cosmology
Ibercivis
Leiden
QMC
Biology & Medicine (CPU)
AlmereGrid
Correlizer
MalariaControl
RNA World
Rosetta
Mathematics (CPU)
ABC
Mersenne@home
NFS@home
NumberFields@home
Primaboinca
SAT@home
SZTAKI Desktop Grid
sudoku@vtaiwan
Yoyo@home

Each team gets a vote for what project is in each discipline, and I remember last year we voted on what AMDUsers vote would be. Assuming we vote again this year mine is as follows...

Showbag
The Clean Energy Project - Part 2
(May be better to vote for World Community Grid since that is more likely to win over individual sub-project suggestions)
GPU
Milkyway@home
However Collatz would be fine as well, since I also have two old 3850s that no longer run Milkway
Physics & Chemistry (CPU)
Constellation
(However Cosmology and QMC are great projects as well, so hard to choose)
Biology & Medicine (CPU)
Rosetta
Mathematics (CPU)
Yoyo@home

Here are my votes:
Showbag
- WCG would be fine
GPU
- any project as long as ATi cards are usefull will do
Physics & Chemistry
- Leiden
Biology & Medicine
- Correlizer (doesn't handle challenges very well, lastly)
- Malaria
- Rosetta
Mathematics
- ABC

Collatz or MilkyWay is about the extent of my GPU and BOINC participation. lol

WCG sounds good to me, but I wouldn't recommend people trying to race on Clean Energy as it requires lots of I/O and causes some machines to wait on hard drive access when trying to run all cores on it. This project running on all cores will start having large differences in CPU clock and wall clock do to this large I/O requirement. I have limited mine to 1 at a time and sometimes run 2, but some machines have a hard time with more.

It's one week from the signup deadline, and as far as I can see we have not signed up yet. Just making sure we do plan to participate this year. Signup link is posted below.

All projects that I participate in so oke by me! Strange that BOINCstats so far does not mention this challenge?

BOINC Pentathlon

First project is Rosetta running 5-10 May.

The second project is for your GPUs It is Collatz.

Blog

Right now we're busy with Rosetta (5-10 May) and Collatz (7-12 May),
Next projects will be WCG (10-15 May), Yoyo (14-19 May) and QMC (also 14-19 May)

Hello vaughan ,
the 3. BOINC PENTATHLON by Team SETI.Germany is finished now.
We hope you and your Team enjoy the Time by us and by this great Event.
We hope we can see you and your Team by the 4. BOINC PENTATHLON 2013 again.
And here a Medaille for all participated Teams.
Many Greatings SEARCHER

It was great fun, but to be really competitive

• our members will have to heavily invest in new hardware, or
• we should perhaps persuade other AMD-using teams to join us (Planet 3DNow! ?)
