2008-1-10 GMT 08:15    TPS work available again

Twin prime search work is available again (we had a few days outage for this subproject because work supply went dry).

孪生素数子项目现在又可用了（前几天任务用完了）。



2008-2-1 GMT 14:15    Unscheduled outage

PrimeGrid is down for a moment, because workunit table has crashed; the repair process is running right now. Thanks to Lennart from Sweden who called me on the phone and told about the problem. Update 14:22 UTC: We're back up.

由于任务服务器死机导致项目暂时停止工作，修复工作已经完成。感谢 Lennart 报告了这一问题。

2008-02-15 15:23 UTC End of the life cycle of primegen application
We are inserting the final batches of work for our oldest available application, primegen. While primegen has proved to be very useful in the early project stages for infrastructure testing, it has served it's purpose and it's time to make way for newer, more efficient applications. Once the final batches are completed the cleanup will be executed, finally removing old stuck workunits.
We suggest participants running primegen exclusively also select an additional subproject for future processing. Sieve subprojects are very similar to primegen in size, so it is probably a good choice. Once there are no more primegen work to send, we will update project for such participants to select sieve subprojects.
我们添加了 PrimeGen 这个 PrimeGrid 最“古老”的程序的最后一批工作包。在项目早期的测试中 PrimeGen 被实践证明了对于测试非常有用，但现在它已经结束了它的使命，要让位于更新更快的程序了。这批工作包完成之后，清理工作会马上开始，然后所有的老工作包的信息都会被清除出数据库。
我们建议只运行 PrimeGen 的用户选择另外一个子项目进行将来的计算。筛选类的子项目在工作包大小上与 PrimeGen 大小相似，所以它们应该是不错的选择。在 PrimeGen 的所有工作包结束之后，我们会更新项目，让原来只运行 PrimeGen 的用户选择筛选类的子项目。

PrimeGrid will soon be offering three new projects. For more information about these and future considerations, please see the forum thread.

又将引入三个新的子项目，详见：

2008-03-14 14:00 UTC The Ides of March Challenge Update
Less than 10 hours until the Ides of March. There has been an unprecedented run-up before the Challenge. We can sense the impending doom for 1000's of k/n pairs. For updated information, please see the forum thread.

2008-03-15 12:00 UTC The Ides of March Challenge Update
First 12 hours of the challenge have gone well! 186.1K WU's have been downloaded so far. Our original goal was 50K and that was hit 1 hour 35 minutes into the Challenge. Quite AMAZING!!! For an updated status, please see this forum post.

2008-03-16 04:00 UTC The Ides of March Challenge is Complete
Congratulations everyone on a job well done. The participation was well beyond our expectations. We exceeded our initial goal of 50K WU's and our advanced goal of 250K WU's downloaded. Additionally, we completed well beyond the sieve depth of p=2500T so a GREAT milestone for the Prime Sierpinski project and Seventeen or Bust. For more details on results, please see this forum post.

以上三则是关于“三月挑战”的，现已结束，详见该帖
