We really need more TeAm members in PrimeGrid!

[petrusbroder]

There is a gruelling race going on @ PrimeGrid: the Calendula Challenge, which started September 24th and ends October 7th.
We are just now in 10th place, a position we have never held before in a race. And there are only 6 TeAm members crunching.
Our prosition is contested by the (in the movie) feared "Knights Who Say Ni!", a valliant bunch of wonderfully nutty crunchers. We are sometimes ahead, somtimes behind.
As it is now, the team which dumps the most WUs last will win this race within the race. To make more sure we win we need more team members to crunch PrimeGrid.

Please join.

The race is quite demanding. The WUs are somewhere 60 - 110 hours long (depending on CPU), the CPUs run slightly hotter (2 - 3ºC) than usually, and if you are not sure of the stability of your OC, it may be better to run at stock speed.
If you decide to join please make sure that you get the corret WUs to crunch.
The How-To:

Quote from the Race Thread:

• new! Having hyperthreading off on i3/5/7s is said to help.
• All of those processors running stably. One good way to check that is to run PPS or SGS LLR for a few days. If those make your processor too hot, try TRP LLR. If you get any errors, your processor probably isn't stable at your current clock/voltage.
• Windows, Linux, or MacOS 10.4+.
• BOINC, attached to PrimeGrid (http://www.primegrid.com/).
• Your PrimeGrid Preferences with only "Prime Sierpinski Problem (LLR)" selected in the Projects section.
• Patience! These are long WUs. (Not as long as Seventeen or Bust, but each will probably take at least two days each.)

Please help us to place us among the top 10!
Every WU counts: each WU adds some 30K in the challenge and some 3K in BOINC. Please join!

I put 2 quads on the project. They will be at 100% PrimeGrid after completing a few QuantumFire WUs.

Hi everybody -

It's Monday, 10/25/2010, here in University Place, Washington. The time is 11:31, pdt (18:31, utc - I think). It appears that our annual rainy season has started.

QuantumFire Alpha has been down for a couple of days. During the weekend I thought that the problem would be fixed today, but it wasn't, and I am now crunching Primegrid on the 3 computers that were assigned to QuantumFire.

It appears that I missed a recent race, and I apologize for that.

Although I haven't been very active on the forum lately, I think of my friends here often, and I hope that you are all well.

Welcome back! I didn't know the rainy season ever stopped up there! Here it's gone from rain to snow to clouds to sun in about four hours.

We have two seasons. Every Labor Day weekend Washingtonians celebrate the transition from the warm, rainy season to the cold, rainy season.
