Hi Steve and everyone else
I've had an email from Rechenkraft.net with an invite, but due to work, I'd not had time to register UBT.
Of course, if anyone does want to get involved with this, and help another team, then please feel free to do so - you will need to "leave" UBT and "join" SETI.USA on each of the chosen projects - however I have now registered UBT as a team on the challenge.
After that it's then just a question of how many people want to dedicate their crunching power to the Pentathlon.
IIRC, this covers 5 named projects over a period of
5th-19th May 2018 - starting and ending at midnight UTC - the start/finish is an hour later if you are on BST (ie 1am).
There's more info here:
https://www.seti-germany.de/boinc_penta ... p?&lang=en
The
first project selected for the "Marathon" event, is:
NumberFields - this event lasts for the entire duration of the Pentathlon
The
second project selected, the "Swimming" event is:
Universe@home - this event lasts from 5th - 12th May (start and ends @ 00:00 UTC)
The
third project, chosen to represent "Sprinting" is:
Rosetta - this event lasts from 11th - 14th May (start and ends @ 00:00 UTC)
The
fourth project, the "Cross Country" event is:
PrimeGrid - this event lasts from 13th - 18th May (start and ends @ 00:00 UTC)
The
fifth and final project, the "City Run" event is:
Asteroids - this event lasts from 14th - 19th May (start and ends @ 00:00 UTC)
Of course if you do nothing then our "core" members on each of these projects will provide some degree of competition...but, OTOH, if you want to switch to the chosen projects (once they are named) then your additional credits will help quite a bit.
Note also that this does overlap slightly with the next FB Sprint (10-13th May) - so it would be great if one of the chosen Pentathlon projects and the chosen FB Sprint project were the same.
regards
Tim
