BOINC users: get mentioned in research paper of Cosmology@Home
Marius Millea, admin of Cosmology@Home, and Lagrange Fellow at the Insitut Lagrange de Paris,
gives the BOINC users AND teams a nice incentive for the 8th Pentathlon in parallel:
The Planck app 2017 Pentathlon contest
"In parallel with the 2017 BOINC Pentathlon, we are are running another contest for our Planck (planck_param_sims) application! The top three users and the top team (excluding the winners from the previous contest, see the old results here) will receive thanks in our paper. Only Planck jobs received during the dates of the Pentathlon, i.e. May 5 to May 19th at 00:00:00 UTC, will count for this contest. Of course, all Cosmology@Home jobs count for the Pentathlon. Good luck to all!"
Currently, 107 BOINC teams + 776 users are listed on the stats page.
11 days to go to get into the top3... turn on more of your engines !
