After the success of the July competitions -AMD Users scored double#1 on both Seti Beta challenges (thanks to B Johansson)- it is now time for what August brings to us.
August 2014 seems to start with less than the usual challenges, if you have BOINCstats as sole source of information: just the SIMAP August 2014 Scramble.
But there is more: the Seti.Germany WoW! Event, PrimeGrid challenges, WCG challenges, etc.
August 07 to August 14 - SIMAP August 2014 Scramble
BOINCstats organizes the perhaps last ever SIMAP August Scramble, as SIMAP seems to have developed their own ASICs -or at least their own special tailored hardware.

August 12 to August 14 - Perseid Shower Challenge
From August 12th 18:00:00 UTC until August 14th 18:00:00 UTC we will have a 2 day challenge running The Riesel Problem Sieve. More information coming soon!

August 15 to August 29 - SETI@Home Wow!-Event 2014
37 years after the discovery of the Wow! Signal on August 15th, 1977, which was received from the direction of constellation Sagittarius, it is time to honor the mother of all BOINC projects.
Therefore SETI.Germany is calling for the third SETI@Home-Wow!-Event from 15.08.2014 to 29.08.2014. Anyone, who wishes to participate, has to register on this site. More information about the Wow!-Signal can be found here and about the SETI project here. The current BOINC software and installation instructions can be found on the homepage of SETI@home: http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/. BTW: Optimized clients can be found here. To collect pending credits before race start is not only allowed but welcome! The whole purpose is to do our utmost and work hard for SETI@home and thus provide invaluable support. So don't be afraid to start crunching for SETI@home with all of your available CPUs & GPUs before the race starts. And who knows, maybe it will be you who finds the new Wow! Signal which will not just be going down in grid computing history! SETI.Germany wishes you a lot of fun with the third SETI@Home-Wow!-Event.
