The BOINC Championship!

[AMDave]

I should be free of my other commitments in about 2 1/2 days which is great timing. I've been on a "classics" sabbatical for quite some time and a breath of fresh is in order for me atm. I can bring a couple of boxen to the party. Tanpaku-shitsu sounds just the ticket NeoGen.

Whether or not TPR hit the ground at the same time is not an issue (but would be a bonus) as this is a just week-long burst.

Well guys, I was dazzled by all the new projects popping up recently but turns out that none is stable enough to be raced on unfortunately.
- RCN has very long workunits, with no checkpointing, and plus their current batch of workunits is about to end soon.
- VTU@Home is out of work.

Which leaves us with Tanpaku. It's a perfectly normal boinc project now that they've upgraded to boinc v5. It has short workunits and I've never seen work flow shortage, so I'm assuming it is quite stable.

The contest would end this coming Friday with Primegrid, but I was thinking of extending it just a little more...
What do you guys say to one final showdown on Tanpaku?? :D

I like the idea A lot, check out this link: http://www.amdusers.com/modules.php?...c&t=2816#33183

Hey NeoGen,

The main contest pages haven't been updated for a while!

Also, is PrimeGrid the final race of the competition? :cry:

Oops... forgot to update those, as they are done manually once a week. I'll get right on it.

I proposed an extension for Tanpaku, and since no one posted any complains against it, next week the race is on.

17 Jul -> 21 Jul - Tanpaku (Final race)
