"It Aint Easy Being Green" --Kermit D. Frog
----------------------------------------Glad we can help, although we will routinely vanish. The systems I am using are from a "Cluster for Hire" company, and most of the time they are doing contract work. Just seems a shame to run HPL and other codes for warmup / breakin when they can do some real good in their "spare" time. IMHO Waste is a computer going to a landfill having done actual computations less than 90% of it's life. 90% of the computers powered on right now are idle or powered off; what a waste! I'm sure when we get the power bill there will be heck to pay... Hoping the Clean Energy project pays off soon :) Our affiliation with the UIUC is largely proximity, but it seemed a shame not to join a team. Most of our systems have 1 or 2 GB/core and Infiniband... I guess we need some special projects to really help these machines be all they can be. Cheers to all!   |

WoW and grats... its nice to see a company useing its cpu time to help
----------------------------------------yes i fully understand that you may be gone with not much processing power alot of time. honestly if you do .9 days per year you equal what i can produce in a year. I am so glad to see people willing to spend there time that way. heck if you manage to keep those online for a day a week I would love to see you advertise here also (corse i dont have a choice on advertizing). hope more companies are willing to help.

Good to see you here and excellent use of the machines... ( even though you kicking my teams butt silly!) I'm a hardware guy, curious as to what your running under your name with those 1215 machine installs..  |
