OK, we may let you focus on the digits then. You'll be able to
distribute the workload across your CPUs by hash type and by length.
As to me, I will likely throw the idle cycles (90% or so) of around 5
quad-core CPUs at this. So that's around 20 CPU cores. I expect this
to be around 300 Watts of direct extra power consumption and heat
dissipation, and some more by the air conditioning units (which will
have to work a bit harder...) I am unlikely to go beyond that because
of the very hot weather, as well as not having a lot of motivation for
this (I'd rather let you and others participate as well).
If you can generate a SSH public key (and know how to use that), please
e-mail it to me. Here's some info on it:

If not, I'll just setup a password for you. This is temporary stuff and
it's not high-security, so some risk is OK.
