PrimeGrid's Challenge Series continues with the Lunar Landing Challenge. Please come join us in commemorating the 39th Anniversary of the lunar landing by Apollo 11. A 3 day (72 hour) Challenge is being offered on PrimeGrid’s Prime Sierpinski Problem sieve application.

The first lunar landing, although accomplished by 'Buzz' Aldrin and Neil Armstrong, would not have been possible without the support of tens of thousands of people working in the background. The same can be said about prime finding and sieving. The prime finder gets the glory; yet it takes the support of all the sievers working in the background (image) to facilitate the finding of the prime.

Here's to all the sievers! Without them, prime finding would be an EXTREMELY time consuming task.

To participate in the Challenge, please select only the PSP sieve project in your PrimeGrid preferences section. The challenge will begin 18 July 2008 00:00 UTC and end 21 July 2008 00:00 UTC. (Lunar Landing happened on 20 July 1969.)

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 1.5X speed advantage over 32 bit...so 1.5X the credit.
