PG 7th challenge of 2017.. Pierre de Fermat's Birthday Challenge Nov 17 12:00:00 to Nov 20 12:00:00 (UTC)
This is a GPU and CPU challenge lasting 3 days. It is a 7AM Eastern USA time
Tasks will run faster with the GPU, shorter CPU tasks I would run single threaded, the longer tasks multithreaded.
I have not tested that as of yet, bigger the task generally is better to multithread. Will have to run a few and see how it goes.
Tasks have to be downloaded AFTER the start of the challenge and returned BEFORE the end.
No bunkering before the start, tasks will not count.
Tasks will be credited right away as they are turned in. If there is an issue with the task, points will be deducted when doublechecked.
The link to the PG forum challenge thread is here.

I would not have a cache of tasks waiting, the first task in get the credit as founder of the prime number found.
These GFN-projects are part of the challenge:
GFN-15
GFN-16
GFN-17 LOW
 
 This starts at 7AM Eastern USA time

This starts at 7AM Eastern USA time, not 6AM
GPU tasks are not that long at all, may as well do a rolling start.
 
I did a bunch of testing, PM me if you're interested in results and are going to join in this challenge.

Yep Changing over from Milky Way and keeping my CPU on WCG.

Maybe we should use a Google Group temporarily for private team communication until we get an answer on the EVGA side?  I think one of the Bills was testing it.

I was testing this but you must have a Google Account and it cannot be a shared account like what is used by the DC CPT.
I was testing this over the last few days, I did not think it would work out for those who do not want to share email address as so on.
Also I forgot who owns the DC CPT Gmail address.

Same Thought Here As Well.

This starts at 7am, if not up that early you can go ahead and start crunching before bed.
GPU tasks finish fast, a couple min, so yeah some will not count but the ones DL shortly after the start will count.
That is a rolling start. I will start mine when I go to bed, I am not getting up before 7 just to start tasks.
Can't bunker before the start of this challenge.

I will do a rolling start as well...event starts at 4am for me.

Think I will drop Genefer 15.

I thought I should have waited until at lest 1800 Hours.

That's 75 days, this challenge will be long over and forgotten.
