Another week of increased output - way to go everyone!!
Sorry anyone who's not been mentioned - you know what to do now :)

3,200 is impressive for a single machine! I have 4 going, and am lucky to get 4000 in a week these days!

All hail Concorde :)
and for the first time since the competition started there's actually no doubt that it is just his X2 this week
Active processors (within 7 days) 2
:eek: :p
no little donations from part time old slow macs this week - he truly has got a very crunchy single machine :cool:
 
hey concorde

what spec/speed X2 you running?
my X2 3800 is at stock and i could have sworn it was down for only something like 24 hours total this week (might have been a bit more but didn't think so), but your score's over 50% more than mine.

well done anyhow.

it's an X2 3800 (cut-down Toledo core) at 2.5GHz, also the speed he has his RAM at and the tight timings will make a big difference

also no doubt he's got it doing beta work which is mainly Double-Gromacs WUs at the moment which the X2s and A64s love

my X2 3800 is at stock with RAM at PC3200 and 2.5 3 3 8 timings and i need another couple of old XP rigs to get about even with conc's weekly output :o
 
I have been running my machine with HT turned off for 2 weeks. I think that I was getting much better weekly scores with HT turned on (see The_Alabam_Slamma) weekly production. Therefore I am going to enable HT. So watch my active processors jump by 2 ;)

I may have to join the Beta too if the points are much better. I spent half the week crunching a couple of 400ish point wus that took forever :(

Watch out for next week Mr Concorde Sah :D

Dunc
 
Sorry guys I am a bit of a Folding noob, how do you get beta work? Is the beta work better for a64 then? I seem to have a rather nasty 266 pointer, gromacs 2052 which is just taking absolutely ages on my opty, 127ppd!!!

What sort of input is expected from a beta tester?
just reporting any problems you've experienced really with enough detail to give them a fighting chance to try and work out what is wrong

personally I've not had to report anything for a good few months - the last thing was a WU which seemed to have extremely low points for how long it was taking so several people along with me posted details of the machines and what ppd they were getting and the points got increased to bring it in line with similar projects

application is made by posting in this thread which also includes a lot more information about what to expect and what is expected of you - they also ask that you write a short statement of what you can bring to the beta team (basically to weed out the people who don't have the attention to actually read the whole of the thread :p)

Please only join if you have regular access to any machines you will be running beta work on - don't worry you can specify which machines get which work so it's not an "all or nothing" kinda deal

yeah i think I had a couple of those as the first WUs that the X2 picked up - both were normal Gromacs WUs and just seemed to take forever for not really enough points :o
ah well at times like that you just have to think of the science and hope for something good next

you can still pick up some good Double Gromacs work without joining the beta team though - I seem to be having a run of these 99 pointers on my X2 now which give me about 500PPD across the two cores (so those alone would give 3,500 for the week :cool: )

shush - we're not supposed to talk about it :o

we've been assured he'll be back monday so nothing to worry about :)
I know asking about suspensions is usually a bad idea, its just i didn't think he was the sort of person to get suspended, and he does make about half the posts in this forum so he's conspiciously(sp) absent...

As long as he keeps folding...
 
Eee by gum, look what I got:

Thanks always for the news rich :)
 
Thanks for the news Rich, great job as usual.
I noticed Berserker is hot on your tail :eek:
Another good week for Team 10 well done peeps. :)

Ive had four weeks off work unexpectedly as my Daughter is very poorly, so my output has remained high but I wish this had not been the case.

You guys are doing a great job.
Tom
 
Great news as always, Rich. :)

Sorry to hear about your daughter, Sculptor. We all like high output but at the end of the day we just do this for a bit of light amusement, in the grand scheme of things it's totally unimportant. Give her our best wishes :)
