PrimeGrid Sophie Germain Challenge April 1-3

[Ken g6]

Welcome to the PrimeGrid Marie-Sophie Germain Challenge. PrimeGrid is running a short, two-day challenge to find primes, and maybe find a record Sophie Germain prime. No foolin'! 😉

What you need:

• One or more fast x86 processors. (Even slow ones will do!)
• Windows, Linux, or MacOS 10.4+.
• BOINC, attached to PrimeGrid (http://www.primegrid.com/).
• Your PrimeGrid Preferences with only "Sophie Germain Prime Search (LLR)" selected in the Projects section.

What won't help (but won't hurt either):

• A 64-bit OS.
• A large amount of RAM.
• Any video cards.

This challenge starts April 1 at 18:00 UTC, and runs for only 48 hours. Work not downloaded and uploaded within the challenge will not be counted. Should you not be able to be in front of one or more computers at that time, just set their queue level very low (0.01 days). This also makes it more likely that you will be a prime finder rather than a double-checker.

Welcome and good luck to all! 🙂

I'll be in! 😀

 

[biodoc]

I'll be in! 😀

I'm in too!🙂:thumbsup:

 

[RobertE]

Bring it on. 🙂

 

[Rudy Toody]

Get ready! 2.5 hours to go!

 

[petrusbroder]

All ready - 1 hour 26 minutes until start ... 🙂

 

[Ken g6]

Ready as I can be right now. I discovered G41 boards don't overclock as well as G31. I hear it's because of the onboard graphics; maybe that'll change when I put my GPU back in?

 

[petrusbroder]

88 CPU-cores started crunching -- some took a few minutes to get their work, but all are now crunching hard. 🙂

 

[somethingsketchy]

I'll join this race too, albeit quite late to the running

 

[biodoc]

I'm all in now.🙂

Lots of problems before I went to work. Snow storm, short power outage and cable internet down too.

Back from work and am 100%!!

 

[somethingsketchy]

Do GPUs count in this race or strictly CPU?

Edit: NVM, I saw there is no checkbox for this project under GPU

Thanks for the Stats, Peter! 🙂

 

[filibusterman]

just saw this too busy this week...work computers up and home rigs to follow in an hour!!

 

[filibusterman]

Unlike when petrus starts late I am afraid I wont be hitting the ground with all cylinders moving and passing everyone immediately!!

You're not the only one that started late. At any rate, any work done on this project will get us closer/keep us in the top 10.

More crunchers!!:Thumbsup:

Got a little extra horsepower this time. SandyBridge!:biggrin:

Thanks for the stats Peter! 🙂

We're doing quite well!

 

[zzuupp]

Thanks for the update.

WTG Ryan, that didn't take long!
