PrimeGrid's Dog Days of Summer Challenge is on the 321 Prime Search (Sieve) and NOT the Woodall Prime Search (LLR). More information can be gathered here:

Oops...my bad. I think I saw it was Woodall in some past year and so I assumed it would be the same this year.

Anyway, it's corrected on the top post! Thanks jmblazek!

Guys... the PrimaBoinca challenge will end in 1 day.. and we are #1!!!

With the wide advantage we got on the second ranked team I think we can safely stop this and move on to the next one already.

For those of you with GPUs there are running challenges on MilkyWay@Home and DNETC@Home. And soon there will be the AQUA@Home challenge too.

For those with CPUs, we got the PrimeGrid Dog Days of Summer challenge coming up in 3 days, so if you guys want to participate I would advise to start preparing the caches... especially because the initial download of the app is quite a few Megabytes.
And also... this is only on the 321 Prime Search (Sieve) sub-project... be sure to set your crunchers to get work from that only.

We are already signed up for 2 more new challenges, one in DynaPing and another in Yoyo@Home, both scheduled for the last stretch of this month.

I just spotted another one was created for SIMAP... vaughan, can you get us in please?

[vaughan]

OK we're signed up for the Extra SIMAP work challenge.

Not too shabby in the WCG August 2010 Points race, 7th place out of 90 teams!! Thanks to everyone who helped in that one!

Indeed! There were some very powerful teams on that challenge.

I will add it to the wiki when I have some spare time. I have been kinda busy and the backlog of stuff to add has been piling up lately.
