IIRC he's a school's network admin and rolled it out across their systems
Nice going though - thats some large crunching going on there
Thanks for the praise guys.. Yup I've been keeping an eye on the stats for a while - it's kinda funky watching so much work get done in such a short space of time!
WildMonkey is correct - the School I work at were kind enough to give me permission to install UD in our main ICT suite as an extended 'trial'. That, plus my machine at home = the 6-700 hours a day crunching antics.
All being well, I should hit ~8 years by Xmas.. lol.![]()
Take care,

How many machines is it / and what specs?
What's it a trial of? distributed computing in action?![]()

I forgot about UD, just noticed that I am not doing badly in the league. Might have to start again.
Yup, 'distributed computing in action', I like that!
It's on 27 x P4-2.8's with 256MB, plus my AMD system at home (in sig).
The school are all for it, as long as it doesn't cause a noticable performance hit. I've got it running as a 'lowest-priority' service, so it'll always give CPU time to people actually using the machines.
We've actually nearly 3 times that number of P4's in school, but I've kept it off the more critical systems - I'd love to have the 60+ crunchers working the cause, but restricted it to the one roomfull so it'd be easy to remedy/rebuild if something goes pear-shaped!

Ah being an admin has its perks, I have 53 machines at work running df (no not changing to UD)
Best bit is that you dont have to pay the elec bills if they are running at work!![]()

I think its a bit unfair when people are trying to use the compututers for photoshop and the like, even if they are set to low priority it still means theres a performace hit. Its a pain in the arse.
the school where im studing my alevels has a **** network its always really slow for some reason..... its not you Blue Magician down stairs using the all the networks resources ???

i think we have somthing like a 8mb connection for over 1000 computers or somthing like that ! so the internet gets slow.. and the most annoying thing is the "RM - Saftey" internet filter that filters out almost any and every word in the oxford english dictionary![]()
