I have added some Cores to both POTM.

POGS: The Ultimate Challenge now has Crunching@EVGA as part of the challenge!

Can we get a linky?
 
As for PrimeGrid, I ran 4 of those TRP (LLR) a few days ago and they take a while. 8-10 hours-ish. Still haven't gotten any credits on them. Check that, I now see 5k points. Not sure if that's for 1,2,3 or 4
 
Looking forward to both projects in Oct. Happy crunching everyone!

You mean like the third link in the first message?  Sure.... Cut... Paste

All-righty then.
I took a quick look a round to see about bunkering. (Encouraged, allowed or not allowed). Not much there yet.

POGS doesn't mention this, so basically it's up to each and one but according to earlier team discussions, I believe our approach on bunkering is generally a no go.
If we were challenged by huge teams, we could stick our heads together and cook up an evil plan on how to surprise them the first couple of days, but in this one, I'm pretty confident our efforts will be more than noticeable.
Last time we had a POTM in POGS, we ruled all POGS and jumped in as NO. 1 RAC team, and that was only an "Invite Only" internal member challenge.
I hope members of different teams will call for reinforcements during this challenge.
Could be interesting if some of the lurking big cannons woke up

I would normally encourage my team to join, but we have been more focused on DC-Vault positioning lately. However, with most of the easy points attained we will most likely start bouncing around again. I will be hitting POGS a little this month because I'm <100k away from my 1 million point goal. Then I will be switching to Cosmology to finish that one. I'm also a little biffed about the way POGS is wasting resources by dragging their feet on the optimized apps. Some over there are justifying running the slow code due to lack of work. I find that as selfish since one of our team mates was working with them on optimized CPU apps back in April and little has trickled back since. He also worked on the GPU code too. It is very disappointing when the resources are available from outside sources but the scientists don't put effort in effective communication. So, until the apps are finished my contribution stops at my goal.

Primegrid's World Animal Day challenge starts in about 20 hours (Sat. 2pm Eastern US).  The Riesel Problem LLR is the app for the 5 day challenge, and is CPU only.  Hyperthreading doesn't improve total throughput for those with Intels.  Estimated times for completion are 6-12 hours per task.
 
My i7-2600K is ready for some prime hunting.  What kind of artillary are you bringing?

For the stat junkies, in the overall PG challenge series this year, we are sitting in 6th place with 7418.75 points.  Aggie the Pew is in 5th with 7436.75 points and the Ukraine is 7th with 7409.50.  Up for grabs in this five day challenge are 645 points for 5th, 622.5 for 6th and 600 for 7th.  The three of us have finished in the current order the last two challenges.

Clearing out my other CPU projects queue's and will jump in on this some time Saturday afternoon.

That's going to be my next stop once the Prime Grid challenge is over.

Last I looked we came in fifth on the Prime Grid event.

Sorry guys I added nothing to this event. Good work. Glad we got 5th place. How are we overall?

Thanks geos for the succinct picture of where we stand . I thinks we needs a GPU project soon.
 
Grey_Beard, ....what everyone else said. Take care of you and we'll take care of the team. Get better and we'll be waiting for you. PM me if you need to talk.
 
EVGA Crunching rocks!

OcUK is making a move as of late.  We could use more logs on the fire to counteract their push.

The brit's seem to have a plan for us over at POG's, they Call it slaughter.

I saw they were putting the pedal down over there.. let's give em hell! I've got 20 cores on the job right now
