It's that time again. Just over 24hrs until the next challenge. This one is on PSP for 7 days.
Remember you need to download and return the task during the challenge time frame for it to count for a challenge score.
These tasks will use up to 24-25MB of cache per task so plan your CPU task strategy and multi-threading appropriately.
For Ryzens this is 8 cores for a task to fit within an 8c 32MB CCD.
Any questions ask here or you can find a bunch of our teammates hanging out on the Discord chat server here - https://discord.gg/N2mCaQz
Good luck!

We are no longer the top team, we have too few people and can not compete with the much larger teams. :(
Feel free to recruit anyone you wish to join up.

The next challenge for us and first challenge of the year is a challenge on GFN-17 and PPS-Mega.
If you have enough CPU cache then single threaded GFN-17 out performs credit/time vs PPS-Mega.
I also feel if you're looking for a prime GFN-17 will be getting the most activity due to some very fast GPU processing and should far outpace PPS-Mega with prime finds.
Remember there is no race on GFN-17 or PPS-Mega except it's a challenge and we want to return as many tasks as possible. Anyone could get sent a prime task from the server.
Important to remember too this challenge is not about prime finds, but credit score. Prime finds will be merely for own happiness or bragging rights.
Challenge begins on the 22nd of January at 12:00 UTC time.
Hope to see us all crunching away and having a good challenge!

2.5 days left in this final challenge of the year. Looks like 2nd place is ours but don't let up yet in case CNT may be bunkering some tasks.

Large GFN Challenge begins in 2 days 4 hours and a few minutes. To score in this challenge download and return GFN-21 / GFN-22 / DYFL tasks during the challenge time. They must be downloaded during challenge time and returned during challenge time.
GPUs will rule here but there has been some progress with the CPU Genefer app using multi-threading and if you have a lot of cores and wish to add to your score, CPU can do a bit of something during the 10 days. This is configurable on your account page under preferences and setting number of threads for your venue.
Good luck everyone.
