You might want to put those Suns on ubero.
Since ubero is java, it runs very well on suns.
RC5 does not, since the operation it uses has to be emulated on the Sparc processor.

Yes I know, I am procrastinating....

Whoops! fixed it today... I had rwhifen@mac.com join team macnn... I'll migrate it to rwhiffen@mac.com once I'm sure it was only that one box... Another 200 blocks a day, plus 6712 for team Macnn... Good catch!

Well, lookee there, I made 50K (aka Drew).
I'm still running OS 9 on my 533DP, also crunching on a 1.2AMD, but I plan on probably switching over to Ubero when PhotoShop 7.0 is released.

This is fun stuff. I try to explain it to my friends, but most just don't get it.

Quick question: I understand that dnetc is multi-proc aware and I usually run the faceless app 24/7 on my dual 533 - Can I run multiple clients and see improved production or is the one app maxing out my procs? (OS9.2.2, tons of ram).

no
one client is all you need.

Interesting. I had both the faceless and the "faced" apps running yesterday before you replied and had my best day ever - 800 units over my previous best.
Hmmmm!

I hear you there. The fact that Team MacNN is on the rise makes it even better.

Reader50 -- since you do the stats, I have a question. On my RC5 stats page it says I have 513,054 blocks tested, but on your personal stats page it says I only have 495,139 as of today. Why the discrepancy?

Our RC5 stats data is pulled from our team's member listing. As of this post, it shows you with 495,139 units.
The two numbers should match. The fact that they do not indicates dnetc stats are going to be "down for maintenance" again in the future. Perhaps dnetc should dump the Dell they got as their new stats server.

It's down now, so you were right. However, it's been like that for a long time, so I suspect when they come back online it will still be a different number. Oh well, it's not a big deal.

Good job! I passed 500,000 this week. Maybe in another 4 months I'll be up to 1,000,000

It's so funny. When I started rc5 originally, I was running on 6100s and Quadras and cranked out a few hundred blocks a day. Just a couple years later and I am up by an order of magnitude. Gotta love Moore's law.

Gotta love AltiVec. Because of it, my PowerBook is clock-for-clock four times faster than my roommates Pentium 4.

Just think though, in another 2 years we'll be capable of cranking out 50,000 blocks a day instead of 5,000. Of course, we'll all be doing RC5-128 by then. Even if our luck continues to suck, the entire keyspace for RC5-64 will be exhausted in 288 days. You have to figure that we'll find the key before then.
