I will do my best!

It will not register that I joined!

I guess I can not join. Will not allow it.

Saw the message in log. I want to join.

Smashing the atoms Boss...

Let's see if we can't boss the smashing

I'm late but I can !!

The Scotties have found their turbo-button

Bwahahaha, more power Scottie

Well, yes we installed a turbo before the challenge, but technically it was a nitrous button that made the difference. Cures turbo lag. Not too much though

Nothing to do with running as much VMs as you have cores then?

not at all....only as many VM's until the computer crashes, then back off one :-)

How much VMs would that be on your average i7?

I ran 8 on one and actually ran 10 on another for a while.

The latter on a socket 2011 i7, no doubt

Actually it was a 1155 (3770) running on a Sandy Bridge P67 board with only 8GB memory Never used more than 5-6GB though. Something odd was happening on that system. With 8 VMs running, the CPU utilization never got much over 50-60%. CPU time seemed to bounce around the vboxheadless.exe processes with only about half showing activity at any given time. Seemed to alternate through all of them though. I added VMs to see if I could keep all the CPUs working all the time. Might have been a bottleneck at HD or something. The other was an 1155 also (3770K), but it used CPU resources as expected. Must have overlooked something on the 3770.

I only ran 4 per i7 3770k as I'm greedy and kept my GPU's running. The VM's seemed to run better on my Xeons than on the i7's

A 3770 has some virtuality settings that a 3770K lacks

The K's are unlocked. You get nothing for free with Intel

Victory for The Scottish Boinc Team Well done all who took part and thanks to BOINC Italy for pushing us so hard.

VT-d to be percise

Great match! Thank you alez. Next time we'll do better!
