PrimeGrid's Challenge series continues with the Winter Solstice Challenge. Please come join us in observing Nature's ending/beginning of a cycle. A 4 day (96 hour) Challenge is being offered on PrimeGrid's Prime Sierpinski Project (Sieve) application.

To participate in the Challenge, please select only the Prime Sierpinski Project (Sieve) project in your PrimeGrid preferences section. The challenge will begin 17 December 2008 12:04 UTC and end on the Winter Solstice 21 December 2008 12:04 UTC. Application builds are available for Linux 32 & 64 bit and Windows 32 & 64 bit. Note: 64 bit Windows and 64 bit Linux benefit from a 1.7X speed advantage over 32 bit...so 1.7X the credit.
