June 2015 Competitions

[Dirk Broer]

A new month, with new chances in challenges for the project(s) of your choice.
Some oldies and some brand-new, what do we do this time?


June 01 to June 08 - Citizen Science Grid Server Stress Test for DC-Vault possible inclusion
A new one -heck, competition-wise Citizen Science Grid is so new I couldn't even find a nice little picture for it. Plenty of too big ones though-: Team [H]ard|OCP wants us to stress-test Citizen Science Grid's Server hardware. The troubles with the scores on DNA have been identified and should be solved before the challenge starts, I hope. Thus we can crunch/score badges in all they have and that includes Wildlife@Home and SubsetSum@Home. The latter also runs on Android!

June 19 to June 22 - Day of the Sun
The Ukraine team organizes a Universe@Home challenge for us, the project with those fancy planetary badges. And I want to go to Mars too, if only badge-wise.
