LOL Reminds me of that lame TV show with Shatner a while back called Tek Wars, or something like that. The secret to the big RAC is just finding what a machine does best, and what app works best on it, and then just leaving it alone. SETI takes so long to actually show what the machine is producing that small changes take forever to show a diff. Bob helped me a bit on the Core i7. He sent me some ideas and helped trim the CUDA times a bit. Tip o' the hat to Mr. Mahoney. Good job on the 500k! And congrats to all other mile-stone achievers! Rob ID: 893576 ·

SETI takes so long to actually show what the machine is producing that small changes take forever to show a diff. I think RAC is a 10 day moving average based on machines that I've recently started. But for fast machines, it takes about three months for Astropulse to start validating as fast as they are crunched. -- Classic 82353 WU / 400979 h ID: 893606 ·

The kitties have not been shirking their crunching duties whilst away.... Passed the 28 Million kibblestone mark for Seti.... Be at it for 9 years in about 7 weeks.... Now #35 in the world according to Boincstats total Seti credits..... Now at my highest RAC ever....90k....without Cuda... Seti City (the Kitty City) at #18 in the USA.... The Frozen Nehi is the highest ranking i7 on the project with a current RAC of 18,164 (excluding Xeon and Cuda enabled hosts).... Anything I missed? Just ask....LOL.

Past 800,000 Seti all done on CUDA today. parties Looking for that first million. Funny how times changed. I seem to remember my first million boinc credits taking significntly longer and I had ALOT more machines crunching in those days... pondering "The most exciting phrase to hear in science, the one that heralds new discoveries, is not Eureka!
