Thanks for posting front page @btarunr!

The WCG team could sure use a few more cpu cores for this Challenge so we welcome all to join us. Setup is quick and simple. Stop by the challenge thread linked in OP and we'll see you there!

I purchased another CPU to add to my crunching stable, but it looks like it won't arrive before the end of the week now

I was hoping to have it up and running by the start of the challenge.

What do you need for a CPU?

I've got everything except the Processor, so as soon as that arrives I'll slam it together and get it crunching. :toast:

Now would be a good time for an 8 core/16 thread stress test for all of the TPU folks who bought Ryzen setups recently!!!

Test your rigs/heat them up and get some science done for a good cause!
