    Sorry I am Boycotting SETI.Germany, But Have Fun.

    Why???

     
    Lets First Vote on what our team is going to do this year, once set it cannot be changed.
    https://www.seti-germany.de/boinc_pentathlon/25_en_Disciplines.html
    The BOINC Pentathlon consists of 5 disciplines:
    1. Marathon (CPU, 14 days)
    2. Sprint (CPU or GPU, 3 days)
    3. City Run (CPU, 5 days)
    4. Cross Country (GPU or CPU, 5 days)
    5. Swimming (CPU, 7 days)
     It has been hard to get tasks from Enigma@Home for at least the last 2 weeks.
     
    Each team may suggest three projects and one World Community Grid subproject while signing up. The projects are assigned to the disciplines as follows:
    1. Marathon
      • The project is set by the organizers.
    2. Sprint
      • The project with the most votes that provides workunits with a quorum of 1. This may be a GPU project if no other GPU project got more votes.
    3. City Run
      • The World Community Grid subproject with the most votes. The following subprojects are available:
        • FightAIDS@Home - Phase 1
        • Mapping Cancer Markers
        • OpenZika
    4. Cross Country
        The GPU project with the most votes. If this project has been chosen for the sprint, the CPU-only project with the next most votes that has not been chosen for another discipline is chosen instead.
    5. Swimming
      • The CPU-only project (i.e. the project does not provide any GPU application) with the most votes that is not already chosen for another discipline.
     
    Quorum 1 CPU
    Cosmology@Home
    Enigma@Home
    LHC@home
    NFS@Home
    NumberFields@home
    SRBase
    VGTU project@Home
    YAFU
    yoyo@home
     
    Quorum 1 GPU
    Collatz Conjecture
    GPUGRID
    Moo! Wrapper
     
    Quorum 2 CPU
    DENIS@Home
    Stop@home
    TN-Grid
     
    Quorum 2 GPU
    Amicable Numbers
    Asteroids@home
    Einstein@Home
    MilkyWay@home
    SETI@home
     
     
     
    The why can come later. Sorry.

    What I have done in the past is setup a Google doc that everyone on our team can use to vote.
    The projects that win will be entered as our team suggestions when I sign us up.
     
    It will be up soon and I will post the link here.

    Okay, voting form is up!
     
    Vote for your favorite projects.
    The projects with the most votes will be submitted as our team suggestions for the Pentathlon.
    Hint:  Our team strength lies with GPUs, so it may be a good idea to vote for projects with GPU tasks!!
     
    Vote HERE
     
    Voting will close on April 22 and I will register our team.

    Maybe we can align POTM with BOINC Pentathlon 2017?
    I would like to see us do the same with Formula Boinc as well if it makes since that is.

    So, how are we going to go about this, this year?
    We have a strong GPU team, should we not bother with the long CPU parts and just hit hard one GPU project?
    If we do that maybe we could get a bronze or silver. If we are spread out all over, it is harder for us to place.
    Would we rather not place at all and just crunch everything?
    I think when the GPU project is announced we bunker up, and hit it hard and grab a top spot in one project?
     
    Thoughts?

    So, how are we going to go about this, this year?
    We have a strong GPU team, should we not bother with the long CPU parts and just hit hard one GPU project?
    If we do that maybe we could get a bronze or silver. If we are spread out all over, it is harder for us to place.
    Would we rather not place at all and just crunch everything?
    I think when the GPU project is announced we bunker up, and hit it hard and grab a top spot in one project?
     
    Thoughts?
