Hi OcUK - Overclockers UK,

less than ten months have passed since the seventh *BOINC Pentathlon* came to an end. Now the Pentathlon is back to its usual date *from May 5 to May 19* and SETI.Germany invites all BOINC teams to compete in five disciplines at five projects for the eighth time.

This year, the stable and popular project World Community Grid is set for the City Run discipline, with only one subproject being considered for the Pentathlon.

The teams may enter their favorite WCG subproject and three additional project suggestions while signing up using the using the registration form at https://www.seti-germany.de/boinc_pentathlon/anmeldung.php until *April 27*. The suggestions will be taken into account in the project selection as described at https://www.seti-germany.de/boinc_pentathlon/25_en_Disciplines.html.

All information about the BOINC Pentathlon is available at https://www.seti-germany.de/boinc_pentathlon/, while you can find the answers to many questions at https://www.seti-germany.de/boinc_pentathlon/27_en_FAQ.html.

Looking forward to seeing you again at the Pentathlon! :)

Regards

I'd like to throw out an alternative to OcUK running the Pentathlon this year for yourselves. If OcUK were to crunch the Pentathlon for SUSA I'd be willing to bet that OcUK would find themselves moving up in the Formula BOINC standings :)

Interested?
 
We've got until the 27th to add our project suggestions, 2nd May is the deadline for entry.

So far we have just one :)

NFS@home.

I like numberfields@home, think the admin guy there is really on the ball.
I think also collatz for gpu

Anyone else got any other suggestions?
 
For me it has to be projects related to desease research or astronomy. I just don't see the point in looking for all this meaningless number stuff. So projects like Pogs, Einstien, Asteroids, Cosmology (although that needs the virtualisation thing that I struggle to get working without killing the computer, Rosetta, WCG, GPUgrid, Denis ....
 
Personally I like maths projects, but each to their own.

It's been Announced that WCG will be one of the projects, with a choice of either
Fight aids, openzika or mapping cancer markers being chosen.

Rossetta is not an option as it was ran last year. I don't think that GPUgrid being Nvidia only is not a good candidate and Denis I'm not sure can handle the work. If there's another shout for it I'll add it to the consideration list. We need to pick 3, and one WCG sub project.

Asteroids
NFS@home
Pogs
Einstein
Cosmology
Collatz

Not all that much. Windows 10 and 6x 4 core instances uses 11GB with a few background programs running, no where near is ludicrous as Atlas or LHC is.
