Folding@Home Weekly Team News - 22nd June 2006

Gutted about the Russians but will soon claim 48th as we look to stomp on the Linux team

Hello and welcome newbies

Seems strange that this is the first week reported were I've had no stompage, although i have passed Billy since. Sign of the times to come I guess.

Had my main X2 4400+ rig down for best part of a week due to having to re-format th H/D and the footy being on...!!!

100k not long now!! : :cool:

Thank again for the news rich - good work as ever

I've just got my net connection back after moving, so that means last and this week will be down on production

Still, held on to top singlecore cruncher by, 1 point!! hehe.

Theyre not single crunchers.

yes they are - they are both the output from just one machine (although dunc thinks maybe one of his old borgs has been resurrected and is dropping the occasional WU - the vast majority still comes from a single machine)

in Dunc's case it's a dual xeon with HT - there are specifics around the place, infact I think it's the rig he's using in the Cruncher Slug-Out IIso you'll find details there

in Conc's case it's an X2-3800 that has been overclocked a fair bit, looks like he had quite a good week - he has got an old mac on the same account but I checked this week when I took the stats and it was only showing 2 active clients in the last week (hence all work done by his X2)

Joe42 · 23 Jun 2006 at 16:33

He means the single crunchers list. I believe they are both dual Xeon with HT, probably on 24/7.

Ok, thanks for that.

Just seemed inordinately high to me, although that might be because I'm getting scrappy WUs and running a more modest overclock.

beta WUs at the moment are mostly double gromacs - i think his output last week was quite a lot lower than normal so he could easily have had a couple of large ones from last week finish soon after the stats cut-off so they were counted this week

edit: ahh yes there ya go - just had a look at his EOC

Last 7 Days Production
Day Points WUs
06.23.06 0 0
06.22.06 226 1
06.21.06 1,197 2
06.20.06 0 0
06.19.06 1,255 2
06.18.06 19 1
06.17.06 852 1
06.16.06 1,112 1

the 1,112 point WU would have left him short last week and pumped this weeks up

SiriusB · 23 Jun 2006 at 17:26

Okay production from me is gonna drop over the next few days while I try to get a good high OC from my rig

Since I won't be doing any long ass stability testing straight away I reckon I can get a few nights of crunching in over the weekend

Wish me luck :eek:

I hardly get WUs over 300 points most of the time...

here's where you need to go to change that

however as you'll notice there are a few people who have applied and are still waiting - I've come to the conclusion that it's because most of the people who are still waiting have hardly posted anything other than their application post

get involved in the folding community (though don't spam/flame) and get an application in for the beta team - hopefully you'll be alright

Freefaller · 23 Jun 2006 at 22:49

Woohoo I made the lists! :cool:

I feel so proud.

Indy500 · 23 Jun 2006 at 22:50

I want the old 600 pointers back...

A.N.Other · 23 Jun 2006 at 22:58

Yer, I've finally got round to posting in that beta team thread

Im not sure, i havnt been up that way in ages.
Im sure it would be some time soon and probably just as the sun starting going down. It is holidays over there isnt it?

Joe42 · 24 Jun 2006 at 12:13

Its holidays for some depending on what you do.

I'll probably do it on sunday at some point.

And after that there will be a general hardware one.

And seeing as Rotty seems to have so much time on his hands i'll be expecting that poll to appear extremely soon after i post the thread.

Can't let them get out of hand tho, you never know what would happen, the forum might self destruct or something...
