Hey guys and gals,
I was just curious if anyone heard if there will be a 2015 Pentathlon next month?
 

Malcreed are you new to BOINC and thinking about joining Team Crunching@EVGA 
Are you running SETI under a Different User Name?
I started up this week back on SETI that is.
Did you have a link to the 2015 Pentathlon?

Seems we will have our Pentathlon this year too.
After some digging in Seti's calendar, I found the Pentatlon not only mentioned, but also schedueled.
Seems the Pentathlon 2015 is about to go fro 5th to 19th of May.
 
YAY  

I like the idea.
 
I always like running the space based projects. On the GPU side, Einstein is still my favorite project followed by Seti and Milkyway. Milkyway is one of the very few projects that does benefit most from GPUs that are strong in FP64 such as some of the AMD cards like the 7970 and Hawaii GPUs, and NVIDIA Titan. If our team has some of these types of GPUs, we could have a strong presence with this project.
 
On the CPU side, DENIS is a new project and is gradually ramping up work unit production each day. Today, the project had more tasks available than I have seen in previous days but I am not sure that this project would be able to qualify at this stage since the project still does run out of work daily. There are quite a few possibilities to consider on the CPU side.
 
Another consideration for signing up is the rise in electric costs during summer months. I know in my area, that May is the first month where electric cost per kWh goes up significantly. This is usually when I start scaling back a bit on the crunching side. Perhaps other people on our team are impacted by higher summer electric rates as well.

We get to choose one of the following GPU projects

• Asteroids@home
  
• Einstein@Home
  
• GPUGRID
  
• MilkyWay@home
  
• Moo! Wrapper
  
• PrimeGrid
  
• SETI@home
  

We also get to choose 3 CPU projects NOT  in this list (theSkyNet POGS, Collatz Conjecture, Rosetta@home, Enigma@Home, POEM@HOME)
 
So I also like Einstein or MilkyWay for GPU, and then lean towards medical for CPU...say World Community Grid and MalariaControl.  I'm open to any other CPU project for the last slot.

I've been doing WCG lately as well, and I wouldn't mind doing some ATLAS or Yoyo for the other cpu projects.
As for the gpu project, my vote go's towards Milkyway since it's where my 7950's would be the most helpful for the team. 

Oh, is it already that time of the year again?
I´ll stay away from suggesting or voting on a project, as I´way out on what has ample supply of work.
 
Just noticed as well: The mighty [H]orde is gonna paticipate this year as well.
Hope you guys can stir it up a little bit there at the top Coleslaw!

Yah, it takes quite the effort to get a top placement overall, not to mention tactics.
Takes a while to figure it out, and I´m aware on your stand on holding back completed tasks ( aka bunkering).
However, I can see that you can get a top placement on 1 or 2 disciplines with your rather high " ground noise" from those not activly participating, but crunching that project anyway+  the extra effort from those switching
And that should have effects on those three or four teams running for the overall victory.
 
For us, I hope we finally can leave Rechenkraft behind us.

So are we gonna participate?
Registration closes in less than a week (the 27th)

 Sorry guys I forgot it was me that signed us up last year!  I've been busy/not on the forums that much recently but planetclown was nice enough to remind me.
I'll whip up a thread to vote on the projects we want to vote for (make sense?!) and then sign us up before the 27th.
