A heads-up for the last challenge of the year! We'll be crunching AP 26 wu's for three days.

UBT are in 18th position overall, let's see if we can gain a few places on the last challenge!

I guess we can take 3 days out for PG.

I guess we can, count me in then.  :)

Happy to throw a few cores at this.

Let's see if we can have a good challenge to finish the year.

We're currently 18th and need 12.5 points more than Duke University to gain a place.

The Winter Solstice Challenge
2009-12-18 04:47 UTC
Only 13 hours remain till the Winter Solstice Challenge. The pre-fires have a nice red glow, and we're expecting them to turn a deep blue once the Challenge begins. Who knows...by the end of the Challenge they may even become white hot. Please come join us in a Winter Festival that is sure warm you up. The top spots for the 2009 Challenge Series are up for grabs.

A 3 day (72 hour) Challenge is being offered on PrimeGrid's AP26 Project. Builds are available for Mac, Linux, Windows, Solaris, Cell/BE Linux (Playstation 3), and for the first time, GPU-CUDA23 app. For more information on how to join, please see this forum thread.

20 wu limit per user. What a way to run a Challenge!

Looks like we were looking in the wrong direction  :?

I doubt if we can overtake Duke now, and SETI USA are certain to overtake both of us (and a lot more).

Not that it makes much of a difference but I'll switch over to this project for a bit.  :)

A little past half way, and the team is currently in 21st place.

Well done to everyone who took part, and commiserations to Madas91 who so nearly got into the top 100.

Ian

Well done to all who contributed.

Never mind Glen missing out on a top 100 place, I almost made the top 300!  :D
