    7. BOINC Pentathlon 2016



    The seventh BOINC Pentathlon is around the corner. As usual, SETI.Germany invites all BOINC teams to find out which team copes best with the challenges of five disciplines at five projects between May 5 and May 19.

    While there are no major rule changes this year, it is ensured that there will be only one winner after the shared gold medal last year. Furthermore, the Pentathlon pages https://www.seti-germany.de/boinc_pentathlon/ have undergone an optical refresh, all the rules and later on the stats are there, as well. Many questions are answered in the FAQ: https://www.seti-germany.de/boinc_pe...27_en_FAQ.html

    Each team that wants to participate can sign up and enter four project suggestions using this registration: https://www.seti-germany.de/boinc_pe.../anmeldung.php form until April 27. Later registration is possible until May 2, but without the possibility of suggesting projects.

    Therefore, explore the interest within your team and sign up. We're looking forward to your participation in the BOINC Pentathlon!

    Many Greetings: Terminator

    Yeah......and it's already too hot to run the gpus here. I have a full set of amd and nvidia just foaming at the mouth to find out which would be the better runner on whatever is picked. Shame I don't have enough systems to run all of them. Even bigger shame I burned out my main. Having to mine for loose change to get a replacement P55 mobo since it's an income that isn't monitored by the income police here.

    That's not far from the truth for me. 2 boxes 4 cores, 1 box 2 cores. Not a happy camper.

    EDIT -- Lost another box. Down to 6 cores and 2 gpus. I'm also down to 1 r-box. Flood took out what I was working on. Looks like I'm out for this year.
