!!Final Team Results!!
Overall - 6th Place (320 pts) - Best Finish yet, and we were right on the heels of 4th and 5th place.
Marathon - 3rd Place (80 pts) - First ever medal for the OCN team!!!
Sprint - 7th Place (57 pts) - Good solid run on this project.
City Run - 5th Place (63 pts) - We dropped a nice big bunker on the opening day, and then fought off the rest of the field to hold on to our spot.
Cross Country - 5th Place (63 pts) - We kept a very nice steady pace, especially since our team is heavily weighted with AMD GPUs, which are not the greatest for PrimeGrid.
Swimming - 7th Place (57 pts) - A strong finish allowed us to hold on to the 7th spot.
What is this event all about?
The BOINC Pentathlon is a two week long BOINC team competition. Five different projects will be crunched over the two week period.
The BOINC Pentathlon consists of 5 separate "disciplines".
- Marathon (CPU, 14 days)
- Sprint (GPU or CPU, 3 days)
- City Run (CPU, 5 days)
- Cross Country (GPU or CPU, 5 days)
- Swimming (CPU, 7 days)
Run-times and projects for each discipline are announced 5 days (Marathon, City Run, Cross Country) or 3 days (Sprint) before their respective start via Blog (Feed , Twitter , Facebook ).
This allows some time to stock up on completed WU's, but it can also be dangerous if you forget to turn in the completed tasks before the deadline. It also adds another twist to resource management, if you are trying to stockpile WU's, while simultaneously running the current active disciplines.
