Indeed, a warm welcome to Phillip. Over 10 million cobblestones (i.e. BOINC credits) is some going! :mrgreen:

Don't worry, Pongo, with your RAC, it will only take you another 2 years or so to overtake Phillip. :shock:

Hi stackoverflow....

Been crunching still from the old days of SETI...... have the advantage of being Big Brother at the office so have about 10 machines to use including a quad core that pushes about 3,500 credit a day....... just busy fighting with Boincview currently as the new machines don't want to play nicely... they run boinc it is just I cannot see it......

There are 2 other Safricans with over 10 million credits..... must contact them and get them to join the group

Wow, Pongo is leaving the rest in the dust by a long margin. Keep up the good work. :lol:

I hope the MilkyWay project is producing work that will be of some benefit.

I think it is, but even more so when its done. Creating a 3D model of the (MilkyWay) galaxy is quite an audacious task. Here's a very detailed explanation of the project if you're interested.

Thanks Stack.

I understand that MilkyWay is optimised to for maximum benefit from the GPU (CUDA) applications. I have an underpowered GPU which brings the rest of the computer to a grinding halt when using CUDA apps. I'll just have to sit back and applaud the amazing progress Pongo is making. His total is now more than double that of Phillip!
