The challenge closes in just a few hours, 1:45 a.m. EST USA tomorrow morning. I have only one more that will finish on time, any reason why I can't let the others complete? Why should we abort them, will they get zero credit? |

They will be reissued to another computer and you can move on to crunch something else if you want. I went back to PSP Seive since PG is the POTM. They crunch much faster and better credit to boot for X64 OS. _________________

OK sounds like challenge WU's will receive credit if completed late, but they won't count towards the challenge. Aborting partially completed WU's is a waste of sacred computer cycles.
On edit - just found this:

The Challenge is over, but now you can shrub PrimeGird WU's that are much shorter for the rest of the month.
Another top ten finished for the Knights.

As this project winds down, here's our status:
33rd place, we just passed Team 2ch and Duke University.
77,308 RAC and rising, we crunched 90,562 yesterday.
5,966,252 total points.
We have about 24 kanigits crunching this project.
Sir Brian -err sorry wrong film is crunching more each day than I can in a month! He and John Galt are in striking distance of 1 million Prime points!
Keep crunching, we can pass the Electronics Sports League and the mighty Rechenkraft may also fall before the end of the month...

the secret is soley running the PSP seive app in a 64bit OS, the easiest way fro XP or vist users to do this is to install WUBI, this creates a Linux install, with an XP like look and feel, whilst keeping your XP, vista install intact.....
try running  _________________ Oh, it's blessed are the meek!, Well I'm glad they'll get something as they have a hell of a time!

Hey, everyone should log into their Prime Grid account and see if you found a prime during POTM. Lil' ol me did not, but I have found 4 factors in the 321 Prime Search Tasks (Sieve), which I'm sure is no big deal... |
