Well, this should be interesting.....  I trust the testing wil be both comprehensive and extensive and thus last a considerable length of time!  btw The sig blocks from Snurk are now available for you and Wicksman http://tinyurl.com/d67xnfq I guess you need about another 750 hours Runtime (inc. today) before your globe turms silver! |

Sig updated, and yes, the "tester" machine is currently running all 16 cores at maximum speed!

Thats some damm good stats for the time you've been crunching on WCG, I would hate to see your electricity bill though (mines big enough, just running 2 PC's).
----------------------------------------Top respect for Snurk for producing those sigs    |

Of the PCs I'm running, only 2 of them are at home, and 1 of those is a laptop that I bring into work...
----------------------------------------Three machines are donated by a friend, not sure where he's running them from... The final two of them are all living within the staff-colocation datacentre-suite in work, with the server I'm stress-testing sat in the test-lab. Even so, with my flat being electricity-only (no gas), my electricity is still about £90/month! [Edit 1 times, last edit by Thargor at Apr 23, 2012 5:05:07 PM] |

Well, the stress-testing appears to have had the results expected, in that it looks to have killed the server before it's handed in a valid unit.
----------------------------------------Quite a few errors back, since it was only getting 10Kbps from the download-servers trying to obtain 220MB of zipfiles - for some reason, it let the workunits start before it had these files (which were obviously needed), so quite a few Error returns on workunits! Will look into it when I'm back in the office, in the morning... |

And the server is fixed, the first of the "Pending Validation" workunits have been submitted.
----------------------------------------And, themooncrescent, I've been pricing up a server to replace my slow twin dual-core Xeon box (which was a freebie donation from the gaming-network I used to help run) - I wasn't intending on spending money to do crunching, but I'm veering that way now! Edit: just noticed that the "stress-test" server was still running overnight, but it's network-connectivity was broken, so as soon as I sorted the connectivity, it submitted 45 work-units (mostly SN2S & HFCC), so my stats for midday today could be interesting, assuming they all get validated in time!

In the top 500 yesterday for Points (122,265) and Runtime (0y 31d 3h 32m 14s), I think the "testing" server might be helping slightly with that!

Unfortunately, I've had to mark the stress-test server as "No more tasks" and drop the caching down to 0.0 days, as I'm not sure how much longer I'll be able to keep using it for...
----------------------------------------Anyway, Gold in HFCC in the last update......just SN2S to get Gold for, and I'll re-enable all the other ones and work towards Ruby badges! |

@ Thargor By the time stamp on your post I see you were sitting up burning the midnight oil, waiting to see the days results! Damn BST for making it an hour later!
