Question When is the 16th WCG challenge

[Markfw]

I saw a thread about it over at TAAT, but lost that tab, which I don't check that often, I do this forum mostly. So when is it ?

Depending on the project, you can start bunkering typically 7 to 10 days before the race starts.

What are the ram requirements? I’m I going to run into issues with 1gb per thread like Rosetta?

I have never seen large memory usage on WCG. Right now I am running 22 tasks on WCG, F@H BOINCTasks, Excel and Ryzen master,. Oh, and Firefox with about 20-25 tabs. My total memory usage is 13.5 gig according to Task Manager.

Here are the WCG hardware recommendations including RAM for each project. They are conservative (can't go wrong with it) and you can still run with slightly less from what I've seen. https://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/help/viewTopic.do?shortName=minimumreq

Just found out open pandemics works with a raspberry pi. I know what I’ll be trying tonight!

confirmed WCG works by setting up my pi2 rev 1.1 on world pandemics (on raspbian), 2x pi 3s (xbian w/ kodi), and a pi3b+ with the 64bit flag set in the boot config. It’s working just fine on all 4 pis.

I’m now tempted to pickup 6x pi 4 2GB board to run open pandemics to go along with my Rosetta pi 4 4GBs.
