As part of the CERN 60th anniversary celebrations and the 10th anniversary of LHC@home, we just began a 12 day "Public Computing Challenge". See https://test4theory.cern.ch/challenge/.
We invite you and your friends to support the Challenge. Go to "JOIN NOW" and "START COMPUTING" on the Challenge website and follow the steps. You keep track of your jobs by logging in to an account on Facebook, Twitter, or Google. The Challenge runs a stream of T4T-style simulation jobs via the new Web_API system (which some T4T volunteers have been successfully alpha and beta testing for us). The Challenge results fill a database to support an exciting new project we are developing: an interactive version of Test4Theory whose users will help to tune the Monte Carlo QCD models at the heart of the system.
Note that if you login with your BOINC-T4T account, you will run jobs from the BOINC vLHCathome job stream, and receive MCPlots statistics, but do not participate in the Challenge.
Thanks to everyone for supporting T4T and looking forward to your help and interest for our future developments.
