*** OcUk 2011 Distributed Computing Competition ***

Stop Press : Mr BaBa has just donated £100
to be won as OcUk gift vouchers and added to the prize fund, on top of the hardware donations allready promised - well done that man and thanks on behalf of everyone who will be participating :D:D

Prize List Updated
 
The only success I've had in a competition was when I was 10, when I won one of the runners up prizes of a computer game (Sensible Soccer, for the record). The first prize was a PC, which I didn't have and was therefore the reason for entering the competition. So I ended up with a computer game and no computer to play it on.

Anyway, I'm in it to win it :) Seti, of course :D

I'd like to declare myself "in it to win it" :) as a fairly new member of the OcUK Boinc team. After trying many different projects I've settled on Rosetta@home for now, which seems best suited for my hardware (CPU only).

BTW crunching as jondi_hanluc :)

Hi Hanluc good choice of project and welcome to the club so to speak :D
Duly enetered and the very best of luck to you :)
 
It takes a bit of time sometimes, if they are working on the servers or something there can be outages, what project are you running? There is a shortage with seti at the moment and climate prediction nothing has come through for me in the last couple of days. Rosetta is fully stocked though :)

work generation temporarily halted
The RAID that holds our raw data is down, so the splitters have nothing to work on. New work generation will be at a trickle until this is fixed. 19 Aug 2011 | 16:59:10 UTC · Comment
