Welcome to the PrimeGrid Leonids Challenge. Like a Leonid meteor, this challenge will appear suddenly, burn brightly, and be gone before you know it. So don't miss it!
What you need:
What won't help (but won't hurt either):
This challenge starts November 17 at 18:00 UTC, and runs for only 24 hours. Work not downloaded and uploaded within the challenge will not be counted. Should you not be able to be in front of one or more computers at that time, just set their queue level very low (0.01 days). This also makes it more likely that you will be a prime finder rather than a double-checker.
Welcome and good luck to all!
What you need:
- One or more fast x86 processors. (Even slow ones will do!)
- Windows, Linux, or MacOS 10.4+. (Linux or MacOS 10.5+ may be up to 20% faster, this time only.)
- BOINC, attached to PrimeGrid (http://www.primegrid.com/).
- Your PrimeGrid Preferences with only "Sophie Germain Prime Search (LLR)" selected in the Projects section.
What won't help (but won't hurt either):
- A 64-bit OS.
- A large amount of RAM.
- Any video cards.
