Poll for Mini Crunch 23rd - 25th March
Posted: Sun Feb 25, 2007 8:12 pm
The theme of the crunch as usual for this year so far is which projects do we need to work on for a #1 spot.
If by any chance "the Gauntlet" happens to come along then the crunch can soon be dropped
I know the current one has not finished just yet a few more hours to go, but might as well give fellow members enough time to get ready for the crunch
Poll open for 10 days
Crunch would be 23rd - 25th March
Its quite a small poll this time around due to various different reasons, some of these are listed below. If any one does want a project adding that I have not included, then send me a message and poll can be altered
Projects worth considering:
CPDN is a climate change project, it is included in the poll, plenty of work available. UBT is currently 4th in UK
Einstein@home a physics project, plenty of work available, so included in the poll. UBT is currently 3rd placed UK Team
PrimeGrid a mathematical project, plenty of work available, UBT is #2 UK Team
QMC@Home is a Quantum Chemistry project, plenty of work available and now fixed credits, this is included in the poll. UBT is #2 UK Team
RCN is a mathematical project, plenty of work available, this is included in the poll. UBT is #2 UK Team
Xtremlab is attempting to improve BOINC, lots of work available so this is included in the poll. UBT is #2 UK Team
Projects not included (reason shown):
B.U.R.P a rendering project that is currently in the process of been revived but not stable enough as yet
BBC CPDN a climate change project that is soon to finish, sometime this year so this is also not included in the poll as there is no way we would get up to the #1 spot
BelgianBeer@home again is really a test project, work is rare so not included in the poll
LHC@home is another physics project but at the moment they are still setting up the servers following a recent server move, so this is not in the poll
Predictor@home is a protein folding project, its currently testing a new version of WU for Linux, Mac & Windows (also lots of errors), so for this reason its not included in the poll
RALPH@home is a test project for Rosetta, it has work every now and then.
SETI Astropulse / Beta has not been included as by the time the crunch starts this will already have been conquered, if the work comes back soon
Don't forget we have the Sneaky Club for any other missions, so feel free to suggest Sneaky Club missions in the relevant forum
