*** UPDATE- CHALLENGE IS ON- TIME TO GET TO CRUNCHING!!! ***

Hey Team!

Welcome to World Community Grid 11th Birthday Challenge!

Link to official Challenge:
http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/team/challenge/viewTeamChallenge.do?challengeId=7496

This Challenge has been opened by SETI.Germany and we hope to show our best and try to win this for Team TPU!
SETI.Germany also has a Challenge site open here:
http://www.seti-germany.de/wcg/1_en_Welcome.html
They do a great job with the stats for their challenges- check it out!

The plan:
Join the competition and CRUNCH our butts off to try to win it all... hopefully get a few of our fellow TPU'ers to join in.
Fellow TPU members and WCG crunchers are invited to join our Team to heat up some silicon for a good cause, hang out, have a little fun, and even get a chance to win some great prizes.

How to join:
* note- This Challenge is for WCG Team crunching. However, we work closely with the TPU folding Team and we will be sharing any prizes offered with active TPU folders- If you

have a Radeon 7750/GeForce 560 or better gpu and want to try folding then you are welcome to do that.
For crunching....
Follow this link to register and join our Team:
http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/reg/viewRegister.do?teamID=S8TLJ6TFV1
Once you're registered you can follow the prompts and install software- it's all pretty straight forward
If you have any questions you can post them in this thread, our Team thread, or PM an existing Team member.

Norton · Nov 16, 2015

Looks like a few teams were sandbagging... :rolleyes:

Not a really big deal as long as there is a beneficial increase in total work done for WCG.

Bow · Nov 16, 2015

To be honest the wife and I are having some problems, if I am home I will be in.

ThE_MaD_ShOt · Nov 16, 2015

@Norton that link didn't give the current totals but this one seems to.

Looks like some highly sandbagged points but hopefully we can pull through

All Intel, some faster than others.

Is this thread specific to TPU at WCG?

40 threads! Very nice!

To address the question, this thread serves the Team-TPU specific to this challenge, but I'm sure we wouldn't mind if a few TPUers that reside on a different WCG team shared their thoughts and experiences along with their cruncher hardware. We still have love for everyone when science is getting done

"Look at me still talking when there's science to do.
When I look out there it makes me GLaD I'm not you.
I've experiments to run there is research to be done
On the people who are still alive"

Damn I love this game

bubbleawsome · Nov 17, 2015

In once again! I've been having some reboot issues, but whenever my PC is actually on it should be crunching.
