Let's start the recruitment process for the next Prime Grid Challenge.

This time it is The Winter Solstice Challenge utilizing the AP26 application. Challenge will be 3 days starting 12/18/09. The AP26 is the most inclusive of all the Prime Grid applications including (new) CUDA. Too bad for me since I only have a couple of ATIs Crying or Very sad

We are currently holding on to ninth place in challenge points, but could slip if we don't get a good turn-out.

Anyways, I'm in! Anybody else?

They will run on anything...but a 64bit OS is the fastest...

If your CPU will do 64 bit, try WUBI and install Linux...easy way to get more shrubs....

I have tried that on a couple 3 boxes....
I am just not smart enough to install the Nvidia drivers for the video cards...
the ones on the site won't do Cuda, and it is dumb to hobble my cards to get 64 bit on the Cpu Confused

You are right sir...Ubuntu and the AP26 CUDA don't mix well. Red Hat and CUDA mix well. But, if you have a CUDA less box, Wubi is the way to go...

I switched my single GTX260 to a XPx64 box last night...the other 2 are already in a XPx64 box... Twisted Evil

Hey wake up everybody! #Sleep Very few are participating. Currently the team is back in 14th place with only 4 Knights shrubbing away.

We need to drum up some more interest...

I dunno what happened on that last update but I appear to have fallen on my head. Mad

Edit: Interesting, now you've fallen on YOUR head. Maybe if we do that a few times we can make an awesome double helix chart.

Late to the party but I'm in.
What's that bit about posting times in a thread? Do we need to do that?

If you're talking about the PrimeGrid Thread that says:
Quote:
WU times (These need to be updated. Please post your current WU times in the AP26-runtimes for different apps and architectures thread.) All I did was double the last challenge times.

...then, not necessary. They just wanted to get an idea of how long the WUs run over many different platforms and such. It's purely FYI.

P.S. Welcome Back! and Welcome to the Challenge!

To be brutally honest, I would be more impressed if you actually OWNED the hammer you are using to top me...my credit is all my own...bought and paid for by me, and maintained by me...now, just run along and stop bothering us...

My secret weapon arrived today. I have my I7 and joined only PrimeGrid for the rest of the challange.

I cannot seem to get the GPU to work, though. So right now 8 at a time. (Anyone have suggestions on getting the GPU to work?)
