#1 BOINC Pentathlon 2020

Post by scole of TSBT »

Clean the dust out of you crunching rigs. Get that hardware upgraded now. Apply fresh thermal paste, whatever it takes to keep those rigs and GPUs cool.

We need to enter TSBT in the Pentathlon. Megacruncher, Alez, either of you wish to do the honors? If not, I'll register us in the morning.

(This is a public thread. All strategy will be discussed either in a private forum thread or other method, which well advise of in the private thread)

I sent in the registration, notarized and attached to a Babe Ruth rookie card, just like they asked.

Calling all TSBT members, and guests. We need more Rosetta! It's also for a good cause since they are contributing to the COVID-19 research.

The City Run has started. The project is Universe. If you would like to support that project and TSBT, feel free to run it. Really... :-)

Pete, there is nobody crunching for us that hasn't crunched with us many times before. We really need you. I wish you'd change your mind. If you leave, all the plants are going to die!

Pete didn't just have green things in his mustache. He had a green thumb too.

Or a remarkably well organised bunch of international supercrunchers coming together to kick some serious Boinc arse for the second year in a row!
Happy to meet with Pete any time! Although he seems to be fully on board and we just got our first gold medal of the event and are clear favourites to win the overall pentathlon.

We're shifting resources from Rosetta to the new Ibercivis project here https://boinc.ibercivis.es/ibercivis/

It is processing COVID-19 research also.

Sounds so much like Patton (it wasn't) .. I think the only change I would have put in was "worthwhile".
