Folding@Home News - Attention Single-Machine Crunchers

SteveG
love that manic graph - but that what happens with high point WU.

You had a good selection so far keep up the good work. what type of rig do you have? On a PPDPM (points per day per machine) your out proforming most people here.

Check the compertition thread for comparisons. (last page after two weeks single maching crunchfest

should there not be a single core list and a dual core list, sorry to make more work but i dont think its fair putting single and dual core together in one list.

also when does your week begin and end? because as of yesterday Tuesday 11th ive been folding a week and ive done 4,052

Well I've already distinguished between the two with colour where possible. I don't really want to add another list to seperate the two as not only is it more work but I worry about whether the news is becoming a bit of a read.

Also it's worth noting that the list was only really started to cater for those who couldn't get on the main list due to dumping less than 1,000 points during the week as they were only running one relatively slow machine or couldn't run 24/7 - if those people are now getting beat down to the bottom of a seperate list I'd be tempted to just not include Multicore/MultiCPU machines since they will always be in the top dumpers section anyway :confused:

I have considered doing away with the single crunchers list and simply listing every active cruncher from the week - maybe split into 3 or 4 tiers so that everyone gets a mention by default.
Based on last week's stats for example:
0 - 500 points 48 entries
500 - 1000 points 33 entries
1000 - 2500 points 37 entries
2500 points & above 33 entries
which would appear in the news as 4 seperate lists - just something I was thinking about introducing, still needs a bit of thought I think

I will keep it as it is for now however the news is long overdue a bit of a facelift - I will aim to automate more of the stats gathering/formatting tasks to give me more time to spend on improvements :)

Each week in the news I state what dates and times the stats run between - this does change sometimes when I've moved the day or time of the news so I include it near the bottom
Last week's was this...

Stats compiled from Stanford official stats page and EOC stats page
Stomping and Dumping Stats calculated between 19:30 June 29th and 19:45 July 6th

at which time you'd only been credited the 861 points - though that means the rest will appear in the news tomorrow night :cool:


hope this helps :)

151 active members in 4 lists, ranked by output - sort of EOC without the 'grays' and grouped by colour (ish)- like it. more work but especially if 'active processors' count is included

every one get one mention (instead of top dumpers getting 8 and some none), plus say five special awards for, best stomp, most WU, most points, best PPD, most points per thread, most helpfull forum member, excessive use of smilies, most stylish put down, highest rate of spelling mistates, etc you name it.

you mean you do it all by hand :eek:

Yes. He does it mostly with Excel copying each week by hand. All bb formatting is done by hand as well.

Ouch, I just couldn't do that.
I spend loads of time at work looking for faster ways to do menial tasks, just because I can't stand doing things that could be automated.

If you can find a way to automate it I'm sure he'd be in your debt. :)

Well I guess I'd need to know how he acquires the stats in the first place. I could give it a stab.

Just a thought as well with regard to lists, how about a normalised list - average points during the week per core?
I guess though thats just one big list with 150+ odd entries, might be a bit much.

Well the only way to get the number of cores from Stanford is to crawl through each member's stats page on the cgi pages - if Stanford detect a bot doing that then it's IP-ban time :o
Oh and I'm not volunteering to do it by hand :p

I'm sure I can sort out a few tricks for making the news quicker to write - most of the calculations are done by Excel and most of the formatting is done by copying and pasting the new data into last week's post.
The news isn't re-written each week - that would do even my head in :D

just wondering if you've seen that EOC lets you filter out the inactives but keep everyone else in rank order?

edit: yes anything submitted in time to be credited in the 7pm update will get into the news :)
