Got our cluster on the BOINC medicine

I do lots of work with the World Wind Central community and recently we've done some ad-running and fundraising, and purchased 25 el-cheapo $70 1Ghz P3s to process imagery to load in to World Wind.

But...the cluster has idle cycles...soo....you can guess the next bit

Joined OcUK & loaded 'em up with BOINC Rosetta@Home earlier today, and:

Total credit 6.10
Recent average credit 38.36

Mmmm, old crappy hardware:

Should get the Rosetta@Home OcUK rank up a few places

Hehe, Matt (the dude whose basement we're taking over) had some fun sorting out the electrics and heating...gotta say it's a novel way to install underfloor heating

And no, he didn't flip the breaker by being unable to count...honest

Be interesting to see how they do....we aim to build up to 100 machines over time

Aye, it was an overload. Forgot to count in the other equipment (his PC setup) on the same circuit

And turning on at the same time :eek:

I will not take such insolence, Adam is running this op

dsh -r ssh -a 'hostname; sleep 10; reboot

Electrics are setup by an electrician brother dude, who if he is as insane as Matt should be reasonably safe

The major thing will be installing a cooling system....gotta get a cheap VESDA setup :eek:
