...I JUST BROKE INTO THE TOP 20 SETI@HOME CRUNCHERS IN THE UK.
(well, for some reason it matters to me)

Helped by the kind loan of 2 more Mac Pros, They may be older but they're cores for the cause.

Cores for the cause. You heard it here first folks! (if it's original, which I doubt, greatly)

Ivan, I'm coming your way :)

Nice work, keep on crunchin'

Yeah, you gots a couple of ciphers that you'll quickly dispatch, and then Richard next month. Gets a bit harder after that...
Anyway, congrats. I guess there has to be something that Macs are good for!

you do have 37 machines

37 machines !!!!! wow you also got a power station plugged into the house as it sounds like you need one

my small GPUgrid is 3rd in whole of CROATIA in average credit...
:D

I can dream, can't I? Also; SHOTS FIRED! :)

35, one got put back to being a user's machine and the other is a split personality.

I suppose a few pictures would be in order. When I get a few minutes I might post some in that thread. (Then you'll see why power/cooling isn't much of a concern :) )

In terms of Credit I am 99th. In terms of RAC I'm 34th. I only run 6 machines, and 2 of those are helping others.

Well done to you though, but you do have 37 machines :-)))

Just had a look at where I am in RAC. According to BOINCStats I'm second in the UK (and 34th worldwide, how meta!)

OK, I can live with that!

At least LHC is up and running again, so my friends at IC high energy physics have moved their farm back to CMS simulation and analysis now. A few months ago their RAC was over a million!

That's not even fair. I could build machines like that but I want to stay married and have a home to live in :)

Here are some pictures, for them what care, of my current crop.

I have to say, my long term goal is to build more machines with multi-GPUs as opposed to using Macs I find lying about. Altogether a better idea. That way everything wins.

I say "I don't do it for the credit, I do it for the science." but that's not strictly true for any of us, is it? :)

I'd say it's more along the lines of doing the most science/credits possible with the resources available. SOME people *ahem* just happen to have more resources ;-)

Honestly I'm just here for the free toaster. One day I'll get there. One day!

300 macs would do more than 3 pcs

Yep, where's that dang Toaster? In BSG a Toaster is a Cylon, something to shoot at or be shot by.. Once upon a time, 35 years back in real life, I was more than just a fair shot, really I was, if it moved or not, I could hit it, no trick shots, just a fair amount of skill from practice, but that is all in the past now.

Cyclon fighter = Flying toaster??!!

Not Cyclon, Cylons..

These are 'Toasters'... The one on the right is also known as a 'Skin Job'...

Cylons don't die, if their body is destroyed their mind is transmitted to a Resurrection Ship/Hub, they keep getting new bodies. Bit of an unfair advantage really.
