It was nice while it lasted...

Over the 5 days when my "farm" was able to get Fokker-Planck work from Aqua@home, I chalked up 147,415 credits. Not bad for one quad, three dual cores and a single core...

Aqua@Home has more Fokker-Planck work units!!

Aqua@home has not had any Fokker-Planck work for a couple of weeks and as a result, my daily average has dropped to around the 10,000 cobblestone mark. This has been exacerbated by Milkyway having periods of no work either. When the last lot of FP work was available, I was seeing around 45,000 per day...
At around 14:00 today, 49,000 work units were loaded onto the AQUA server. I have the Linux machines at the office running this weekend to try and "catch up". The only problem is that the fastest server is busy with an AQUA MT work unit that has 154 hours still left on it. This means that it will probably miss out on the FP work units.
The older work stations will also miss out as FP requires SSE2 or better.

I'm back ...

I've been in the UK and the Netherlands for the last two weeks and the two AMD X2's have been turned off, including the one with the NVidia GT9800. As a result, my daily totals have dropped somewhat. Everything is up and running now but we are into the Easter long weekend so machines will shut down until Tuesday. I should be up to full steam again next week.
