RE: Pentathlon challenge - Day 4 (May 5-19)
In Cosmology, I'm doing both Planck and docker, but mostly Planck as I feel it allows me to do as many wus as quickly as possible. Also I don't have the most powerful machines, so this suits my capabilities better.
The problems with the Cosmology site and validation has I'm sure put off some users, but I suggest we hang in there.
I certainly have quite a number of wus still in validation so I'm expecting a boost when they catch up.
WCG (although I'm not crunching them) work units seem, as I've seen from discussions in IRC, to be suffering slow validation and acquisition as well so I again think that we also need to hang in there.
I think switching at this juncture would be a mistake.
Am I right that both Einstein@home and LHC@home are up soon?
If I'm correct we need to play the other teams game and start bunkering NOW to ensure we have a good start.
It's also possible that some of our new users don't know how to bunker and may need advice on how to approach it.
Thanks for the input, Mercosity!
and yes, Einstein@home starts in 15h, and LHC@Home on May 12
