PrimeGrid has been announced as the 3rd discipline. (Cross Country)
 
No specific sub-project named though.

OP updated with projects announced to-date.
 
Get ready...the Pentathlon is almost upon us!

Go go go drop dem pogs. Lol

I won't be able to drop mine for another 90 minutes or so.

Did not catch this Challenges / 7. BOINC Pentathlon Challenge
You have to sign up over on pogs as well.

On the pogs site it says this.
"

About this challenge:

a short challenge during the city run
the challenge here is optional...you must not sign in for the Pentathlon..."

So do I then take my account out on the POGS site?
Pogs should not have used the same name "BOINC Pentathlon Challenge"

Just set up theSkyNet/POGS for now.  CSG has had no new work in at least a day - pretty much ruining the marathon part of the Pentathlon.

Kind of a blunder this year.

Yep Tasks ready to send 152975

So I have 11 Threads on CSG and 11 Threads on Pogs now.

 
Anyone see any issues with this file?

Do I need to run everything on Citizen Science Grid or split it with POGs? I am getting Work Units from both.

Thanks for the answers Yodap! Whatever we do let's agree on a strategy and run with it. I think if we are all on the same page working together we will kick some butt.
I'm all in with using some GPU in Primegrid as I have plenty of GPU (but that's just me) however if everyone wants to stick with CPU intense projects I am in with that too.

Punchy
I haven't compared points as I only have CPUs, but from discussions I have read in the past, won't GPUs outperform CPUs by a huge margin (like 10x or more)?  If that is true, it seems that we should keep our CPUs on CSG and POGS whilst using all the GPU power we have to attack PG.

This post at PG from a couple years ago when the credit for PPS Sieve was adjusted sums it up
 

Message 78306 - Posted: 25 Jul 2014 | 11:17:55 UTC - in response to Message 78304.

I'm confused as to why the Nvidia cuda PPS Sieve is fairly short but gives so much credit: it seems to be 3,371 per task! May I ask exactly why this is?

The GPU program is very efficient and utilizes the GPU very well. That's why it runs so quickly. The task itself is actually quite a large task.

If you were to run the very same task on a cpu core you wouldn't think it's a very short task. You might even be asking why its credit is so low and is only 3,371.

Were you to read through the forums, you would see that we lowered the credit on this sieve a couple of years ago, which was widely hailed throughout the user community as a fantastic move. (Okay, maybe not so much. "Angry mob with pitchforks" might be a better description.)

Bottom line is we're happy with where the credit is right now and think it's the correct level. Understand that there's no "perfect" credit formula -- but there are certainly ways of assigning credit that are far worse that what we use.

That is my vote because if the weather heats up again I'd have more control over them. Can't argue with the points either.
We can start dropping them in less than 26 hours so have at them. I have about 400 squirreled away.
bcav, let us know what those big AMD cards can do on them.

So I have to fly out of here Friday and return Sunday night. Let me know the settings and when I should start bunkering given my schedule. Until further instructions I am running CSG and POGS.
Thanks my EVGA broheims!
