Good morning everyone
----------------------------------------RTS48, I probably won't sleep wondering about you TV aerial, let us know as soon as you can please. Thank you for your concern DMNI I can report that everything was found to be intact in the morning. I am sure that the lightning struck something local but I have yet to see what. On a lighter(?) note, I have negotiated, with a neighbour who keeps horses, for a regular supply of the steaming stuff to enhance my garden soil. Who knows - I'll be growing rhubarb soon  . First barrowload should arrive today.

Morning all - apt-get update / upgrade didn't go as planned so my 64 core box was offline for a few hours :-( happily all running now plus another 40 cores I found down the back of the sofa I am so jealous, reduk. You and mamajuanauk (who appears to have upped his/her crunching output recently, just to make sure I'm not first to bag the badges for Smash Childhood Cancer) have awesome rigs.

When I was a nipper my Granddad used to send me out to follow the horse whenever the rag-bone man was round our way, to collect the horse droppings "to put on his rhubarb" Grandma preferred custard...  |

You and mamajuanauk (who appears to have upped his/her crunching output recently, just to make sure I'm not first to bag the badges for Smash Childhood Cancer) have awesome rigs. Most of my 'Good" machines have gone now, I'm only running an AMD G34 twin processor machine and one running 2 x E2600, oh! ans some times my laptop... Nothing like I used to run. But, I'm still crunching! [edit] I do miss the days when I was returning a year plus of crunching per day, oh those were the days... [/edit]
Mamajuanauk is the Name! Crunching is the Game!

Once I've moved house (hopefully later this year), I may have a look to see if I can get another machine or two added to my farm - well, can't really call it a farm any more, as I'm down to a single dual-hex-core Xeon server these days!

I'm fortunate to have a barely used DR site running 64 cores although they are vitualised and WCG is low priority but still returning 120k to 150k points per day plus I have a dedicated 4 x 16 (64) core AMD rig on a Supermicro board which earns 170k to 200k per day.. oh and a few i7 work stations :-)

I am sure that the lightning struck something local but I have yet to see what.. That is good news at least, a house I lived in in NZ was struck by lightning, burnt the roof off. It was an old house with no lighting rod. We were fine but a bit scared (think I was 6) when being woken up in the early hours because the house was on fire.  |

Those were the days. Our Baker, Coalman and Rag and Bone man all had horses and they all seemed to leave their nuggets outside our house. It was a race with the neighbours to collect it before anyone else did. And yes, we preferred custard too!

Morning all,
----------------------------------------I'm fortunate to have a barely used DR site running 64 cores although they are vitualised and WCG is low priority but still returning 120k to 150k points per day plus I have a dedicated 4 x 16 (64) core AMD rig on a Supermicro board which earns 170k to 200k per day.. oh and a few i7 work stations :-) Nice, 4 physical processors on one board  I'm enjoying my brief moment of fame before you guys turn the wicks back up. Points 7 Day Leaderboard  Now that it's running 24hrs that 8year old Dell C6100 (heater edition) is returning 1.4M points per week although it's taking 4 boards to achieve what you get with 1, still I'll miss it when the weather warms up! Time to start thinking of a replacement for the summer (ideally sub 300watt), hoping that the same output could be achieved by a dual Xeon v3/v4 set-up. Anyone got any views on machine specs for crunching, I guess go for as many cores as cash will allow but are the low voltage ones worth a look? cheers all and have a great weekend,
cheers,

Good Afternoon all. I still have not managed to cut the grass as we have had some persistent rain every day since I've been back. I'm waiting for a 24 hour dry spell and then I'll be off!
