2018-05-06: PrimeGrid, Do not use Nvidia driver 397.31

It has come to my attention that Nvidia recently released a new video driver that is causing widespread problems. 397.31 seems to cause the GPU to become inaccessible to both CUDA and OpenCL programs after a while, and can only be reset by rebooting the computer. It's likely this affects all BOINC projects and not just PrimeGrid. Indeed, it probably affects all GPU programs, even those that don't run under BOINC. There's a newer, hotfix driver 397.55 which seems to correct the problem. I strongly recommend either upgrading to 397.55 or rolling back to a driver earlier than 397.31.

2018-05-06: PrimeGrid, 不要使用397.31版本的Nvidia驱动
我注意到最近Nvidia发布了新的显卡驱动，该版本的驱动造成了大面积的问题。397.31版本驱动看起来会导致显卡运行一段时间后无法被CUDA和OpenCL程序访问，并且只能通过重启解决。这一问题有可能会影响到所有BOINC平台上的项目，实际上，这个驱动有可能影响所有GPU程序，就算不是BOINC平台上的分布式计算程序也无法幸免。目前已经放出了397.55的hotfix 驱动，看起来已经修复了此问题。我强烈建议各位，要不升级至397.55，要不就干脆将驱动滚回397.31之前的版本。

PrimeGrid: 2019 Tour de Primes Starts February 1st!

Our annual Tour de Primes challenge begins in a little over one day from now, and runs for the entire month of February.
Unlike other challenges, you don't get a trophy just for participating -- you have to actually find primes to win something!
As with last year, we will be awarding special "jersey badges" to the winners in four different categories.
We're also continuing the tradition of offering special badges that are available to anyone who finds an eligible prime!


Come join us in February. More information about Tour de Primes can be foundhere .
2019/1/30 星期三 20:18:34 more



PrimeGrid: 2019 Tour de Primes 将于2月1日开始！


我们一年一度的 Tour de Primes 挑战赛还有一天多就要开始了，比赛将持续到二月份结束。

与其他挑战赛不同的是：只参赛是不能够获得奖杯的——你必须找到真正的素数来得奖！

与去年一样，我们将为四种不同的获奖者颁发特殊的“运动衫奖章/jersey badges”。
我们还将继续保持颁发特殊徽章的传统，只要你找到了合格的素数！


二月份就加入比赛吧。更多关于比赛的信息参见：2019 Tour de Primes

2022年11月14日：Wieferich and Wall-Sun-Sun Prime Search子项目即将结束


2022年11月14日

Within the next month or two, the WW project will reach the limit of the software, and the project will shut down.

This is the official "30 day" notice that the WW project is ending soon. The exact timing depends on how quickly people run the remaining tasks. At the current usage rates there's between 30 and 60 days worth of work remaining. Once all the work is gone, the project ends.

在接下来一两个月，WW子项目将达到软件的极限，因此该子项目即将结束。

这是正式的WW结束“30天倒计时”。确切的结束时间取决于剩下的WU多久能跑完。以现在的速度来看，还剩30到60天。等这些WU跑完了，就该说拜拜了。
