It's still too warm to run most of my GPUs but I have a couple smaller ones at work I'm going run.

We're off to a good start but those pesky yanks are right on our heels!

EDIT: Well that put some distance between us. Good show Megacruncher!

Far too hot here to run almost anything. Kart also taking up far too much of my time and cash.

The yanks just won't give up! Well I'm not about to let down Megacruncher and FishFry. It's on

We are doing rather well, running the top-nag rather close in a two horse race!
We are just 0.7M behind SETI.USA with nobody else seriously challenging.
On the individual front scole & I seem to have sewn up the top two places while Fishfry [Who they? - welcome anyhoo & well done] is a very creditable 38th out of 6852vusers.
No disrespect to our piratical offshoot but it's encouraging to see TSBT heading for a podium finish in an open access challenge!

We are back in front!

The lead over SETI.USA is 20.9M to 19.&M. So with 54 out of 96 hours gone it's more encouraging than conclusive!

SETI.Germany did look as if they were mounting a challenge but have dropped back to 4.2M behind! We can probably dismiss them as a threat!

Graphs here if you want them!

Their output is fading slightly but they may just be playing opossum.

The Germans nearly passed us with their last upload. Time to kick it for the final lap.

Absolutely!
With 18 hours to go the scores on the doors are:
TSBT 30.9M
SETI.USA 25.9M
SETI.Germany 25.7M
It's a clear lead but not a comfortable one. The Americans seem to be fairly steady in their uploads whereas the Germans like their huge morning dump ^{[insert dodgy sausage diet related joke here if you dare]}
It'll be interesting to see what happens in the morning.

Just over 9hrs to go and the Germans are running us close - 33.8M vs 34.7M ! Yikes!
Time to dig deep. Fortunately it's a nice cool day in Edinburgh so I can put everything on it.

As General Petraeus once shouted...I'm all in!
