Primegrid PSP Sieve Challenge

[Slatzman]

On March 15, Primegrid is going to try and sieve 100T!!!

This will help out the SOB effort. Here is a link to the challenge

maybe worth switching a client or two over for the day. Each WU takes only 2-5 minutes, so switching a computer over for a day really does make a difference.

Anything special we need to do? I already crunch for SoB.... so anything crunched on the 15th will be counted towards this one-day challenge?

So we need to download and install a different client than the SoB client, right?

 

[Slatzman]

You need to download the Primegrid application into your BOINC client. Then set your preferences on the primegrid home page to crunch only PSP Sieve (the project actually lets you specify what wu's you want to crunch)

The sieving is not part of the SOB client, so if you don't want to mess with boinc you can't really participate.
