Let's see here... For my 10th year running SETI: I have accomplished much. In SETI Classic I managed 80,703 WU's for a total of 649,624 hours CPU time. With SETI for BOINC, I have 50,000,000 points with an RAC of 355,000 and currently the top cruncher in the #1 spot. I have 1 machine in the #4 position with 28,300 RAC, 2 machines in the top 20, and 12 more in the top 100. The team I am on is #10 and climbing. Assuming it costs me an average of $100 a month to keep these machines powered, I have donated approximately $12,000 (100(10*12)) in utility costs to this project alone. I'm sure it's more than this but I am being conservative. I have managed to donate $100 directly to UCB. Thus the green star. It has been an awesome run so far and I look forward to many more years with SETI. I want to thank Dr. A, Rom, Matt and everyone else at UCB/S@H/BOINC for making this all possible and giving me something to occupy my downtime and interest. I also want to thank KWSN and the Lunatics developers for all they have contributed to the project. Without their hard work on the opt apps, I wouldn't have gotten this far this fast. Thanks everyone! Rob

He is up to a RAC of 369 000 now. I said it before and I say it again: Rob has been doing a Barry Bonds and doping his machines. :p On a personal note: finally broke 500k credit at SETI. Yay, me!

@kenzieB: Computer dope, thats great. 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

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

2,850,941 credits and back at #1 of the class of 3 Jan 2000. Unfortunately will only be able to hold off about 1 week to 10 days before being overrun by Yet Another German Juggernaught(tm) And top 25 at The Knights of Say Ni!  ID: 893653 · |

My i7 just broke the 30,000 RAC mark for the first time (that I am aware of). Woo! Fastest stock 920 with 4 CUDA at the moment.

My i7 started on the 29th March 2009. Has just clocked up over Half A Mill and has a RAC of over 17500 and is in at 25 of the Top Hosts. A BIG Thank's to Raistmer for the Opt Apps and Info that he has given me in the last 6 weeks or so. Thank You to all others on these boards who help us. Dave

Helloooooooo..... 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.
