FreeHAL finally broke under the strain of the Pentathlon!!

No work available and all the work generators have failed. Very Happy

All CPU's & GPU's on Rosetta & Collatz. I'm thinking about turning up the i7 920 to 4GHz, only problem there is that I need to have a desk fan running to keep the Zalman tower cool. On stock speeds it works fine on convection.

For some unbeknownsked reason everybodys power in half the neigbhorhood went down for about 4 hrs...."including mine" during the Collatz crunch. Not sure if it matters towards the Pent., as I figure there may be only the top 5 crunchers for each event. Could have been one of those No. Korean Dan Hong EMP's . I don't know. Maybe someone can clarify this for me. hiding

Just curious

Woo Hoo!

A strong finish on Rosetta means that the Pentathlon has ended with us 17th= (out of 31 elite teams) on 126 points well ahead of UBT on 117 points who were 20th= Cool

A damn good showing considering the company. Well done everyone.

SETI.Germany continues it's new invented challenge and invites all BOINC-Teams to participate in the 2nd BOINC-Pentathlon, following the ideals of the ancient Pentathlon.

It will start May the 5th 2011 (00:00 UTC) and will end May the 18th 2011 (23:59 UTC).

Like in the ancient Greece, the Pentathlon will be held in 5 disciplines. That means within 14 days the participants will have to crunch 5 different projects, all of them for a period of 5 days. That said, you can easily see that some projects will have to be crunched at the same time.

Each team that would like to participate has to sign up until April the 27th. Like in the last year the favourites in the different disciplines can be chosen by every team on their own. The project that gaines the most voices will be crunched.

A list of the projects that can be chosen from can be found here, but you can also suggest other projects. (But before suggesting other projects, please check if the project and/or their servers would be able to withstand the combined BOINC forces. We do not want to bring any project server down.)

More information can be found here.
Teams can sign up here.

In the last year it was very exciting until the end.
