The BOINC Pentathlon consists of 5 disciplines:
- Marathon (14 days) - PrimeGrid (Cullen Prime Search LLR sub project ONLY!)
After making your account, make sure to join our team at this link - https://www.primegrid.com/team_display.php?teamid=1710
For those wanting a sit and forget contribution, this is the one to set up.
These work units are quorum of 1. So, no need for a wingman to confirm it. Just get them returned within the deadline. - Sprint (3 days) - Numberfields (CPU and GPU capable)
5/5 - 5/8, After joining the project make sure you join the team at this link - https://numberfields.asu.edu/NumberFields/team_display.php?teamid=19
These work units are quorum of 1. So, no need for wingmen. Just get them returned within the deadline and hopefully the validator doesn't take a dump before time is up. - City Run (5 days) - The Ramanujan Machine (CPU only)
5/7 - 5/12 - After making your account, make sure to join our team at this link - https://rnma.xyz/boinc/team_display.php?teamid=2
These work units are quorum of 2. Therefore you need a wingman to verify your work before getting credit. It is smartest to grab all you can complete all at the beginning in a large cache so that it increases the odds of getting validated before the end date.
Be careful pausing/suspending work. They will reset to the beginning and start over. - Steeplechase (5 days (was changed), with bonus credits on 2 one-day obstacles) - Milkyway@home (CPU only)
After making your account, make sure to join our team here - https://milkyway.cs.rpi.edu/milkyway/team_display.php?teamid=1011
The work units are quorum of 2. So, you will need a wingman for these to validate. - Javelin Throw (5 x 1 day, only each team's third best daily score counts) - NFS@home (CPU only)
After making your account, make sure to join our team at this link - https://escatter11.fullerton.edu/nfs/team_display.php?teamid=613
You will probably get best points running the 16e work units. You can change what sub project at the project preferences.
Throw 1 is the 10th. - We are skipping this
Throw 2 is the 12th. - unload your bunkers for this
Throw 3 is the 14th. - unload your bunkers for this
Throw 4 is the 16th. - unload your bunkers for this
Throw 5 is the 17th. - This will only be thrown if we feel there is some adjustment of benefit in doing so.
