Hi there,
deathbygabe1 is actually my 5-year-old, so I'll speak up for him here
He just wanted 5000 points for a hat, so I started messing around with some servers at work, and found I could rack them up pretty quick. At work we have a big farm of powerful servers, and it turns out I was able to sneak onto some temporarily unused ones. Shhh.
HP was nice enough to loan me an eval server with 4 16-core Interlagos (Bulldozer) cpus @ 2.3GHz, for a total of 64 cores. It sucks at single-thread, and I already told our IT guys to send it back. But they haven't done it yet, so I fired off an smp64 folding job on it; that's my biggest producer. I also have about 5 2P Xeon 5690 boxes which are up and running, but not yet added to our LSF queues, so I have those running as well. They each have 12 physical cores @ 3.47GHz + 12 hyper cores. Finally, I have 2 4P opteron boxes (6140's), 32 total cores each, at about 2.6GHz. Those I run only on-and-off, since they get occasional traffic. You know, for actual work.
On a side note -- I just had 2 servers with 32 Westmere-EX cores & 1TB of memory
each delivered last Friday. Hmm, I think I need to test those out before deploying them -- if only there were some good way to do that.... :-)
So, that explains the sudden production by a 5-year-old PR2 addict :-) Won't last forever, but it's been a fun experiment.
