Full details and rules in PC Gaming post
Post in the thread in PC Gaming if you wish to participate! 🙂
Background
Distributed Computing is essentially the concept of using many computers to accomplish a single task. Programs installed use the spare cycles of your processor to perform calculations for projects ranging from from mathematical purposes to finding cures for diseases. TeAm AnandTech is a collection of AnandTech Forum members that crunch together as a team.
The Contest
This contest is designed to get new people introduced to the world of Distributed Computing, as well as find a use for an extra copy of GW:NF CE that I have laying around. It's all in the name of fun. We will be crunching the BOINC project Docking@Home, which has relatively few TeAm members and is a good stable project. The stats for the contest will be posted in the DC forums (link will be inserted once contest gets underway). Permission for this contest has been granted by the AnandTech Moderators and TAC, the 'leading members' of TeAm AnandTech.
