    NeoGen seems to have gotten hold of 119-cores AMD Phenom™ II X6 1100T running Linux ... inside his two 6-core AMD Phenom™ II X6 1100T running Windows

    Dirk, Nflight, thank you guys for the warning. Nflight, I got your message through BOINC, just now deleted all my docker containers.

    I got to admit I was having fun discovering the power of containers, but I guess I can understand. I'm very much a fan of Virtual Machines (VMWare particularly) but there's no way I would ever have the capacity to spawn this many instances this quick in only one machine, and barely using resources.

    Oh well... it was a good run, now I only have the physical machines on it.

    By the way... that forum thread on Goofyx you linked doesn't seem to work. I was going to read through and see what's going on but said "Unable to Handle Request." And below in small fonts "Bad Thread ID"

    I am glad all the effort found you alive and still with us. Let's hope he doesn't ban you anyways. The man put a mention on the message boards and also through the BOINC notices a while back too.
    Gee it is nice to know you can reach people through BOINC. I thought that might be the only way to grab you off the wall, before you were pulled off and broke into pieces just like Humpty Dumpty!

    I disagree with the policy of no "VM-like" systems but oh well, it's the rules. Maybe someday it will change and we will be able to make monster credits on it.

    I've been in the middle of constant change and upgrading all my machines, but I've always made sure to have them running on something. Right now all my machines are open with guts exposed as I'm doing upgrades here and there as I can.

    I've been reading a lot about AMD on the news, more specifically the upcoming 14nm (code named) Polaris GPUs, as well as the (code named) Zen line of processors both coming out this year. If all the rumors are true these are going to be game changers. And I can't wait for them to come out.

    Hi Neogen,

    And did you find out about the new AM1 SOC? The Athlon 5370 makes sure that platform isn't dead yet.
    Not a game changer, but better than Bay Trail or Braswell -the competing platforms from the blue camp.

    I didn't see that but I saw that recently the first ARM processor series from AMD was launched recently, the Opteron A1100. If it wasn't so complicated to get a hold of one I'd like to try it, never played with an ARM processor.

    EDIT - phones don't count as playing with ARM processor

    Warning this project is no longer nci, it uses a full CPU for processing now. FYI. I have discontinued the project till this is announced or fixed back to nci... Argh
