I would like to add this project to the BOINC Games competitions for 2025, but have a few questions first. We need work to last throughout the whole year. Is this the current plan for the project to have work available for at least the next 13 months? Would gaia@home like to be included in the Sprints on BOINC Games? These sprints will cause a bunch of people to run the project for a short duration. It's been known to cause huge loads on servers in the past. Will gaia@home be able to handle 100s of new hosts requesting work in a short period? During this short period, lots of work will need to be available so the participants and regular crunchers will not run out of work. The goal of Sprints is to see who can do the most work in the given time frame (usually 3 days, but up to 7 days) and not having work to crunch will severely hinder this ability. If gaia@home's admins/staff doesn't want to be included in this friendly, year long competition then I completely understand. I would like to hear from someone part of gaia@home on the matter. Thanks, Skillz boincgames.com |
