What's the most demanding thing you run on your server?

Most apps I see don't really take that much resources so curious what's the most demanding thing you run on your server?

Self-hosted Sentry error + performance logging for some web apps that get ~20k API hits per hour at peak times. It constantly uses around 20% of one core.

Plex when it transcodes (no hardware, it's a KS-LE)

I have a Graylog for all my vps's that takes quite a beating, maxes 4c pretty much constantly. I could probably optimize it quite a bit, just haven't had the time.

for i in $(seq 1 10000); do
  ./yabs | grep 'Core' | tee -a log.txt
done

then:
cat log.txt | grep Multi | awk '{print $4}' > log.csv

Not very demanding, but widespread on many many servers: SETI.

Our "team" got very high in the rankings, which generated a lot of excitement and enthusiasm within the company. That is how senior management finally found out that we were running SETI, 24x7 on every CPU in the company. The power savings was huge as soon as we shut it down. Management was gracious enough to allow us to continue running SETI on a few token systems, just to keep our name in the SETI rankings list.

It's that damn right side bar showing similar content that causes that behaviour.
