Folding@Home Weekly Team News - 6th January 2006

Yeah, I turned advmethods on with my Opty, and I got a weird 229 pointer, which needed 20,000,000 steps to complete :eek:

It's project 2079 if that means anything?

I might turn advmethods off after this one completes and see what happens.

Thanks Rich

I have had weeks of poor 52 pointers, under 150 PPD etc

My current workunits: 820PPD.

MUAHAHAHAHA

My hot tip for getting better work units is to lie about how much RAM you have. Always put down that you have at least 512Mb per thread.

Worked a treat for me.

I put 1022, the max I have, but then Im not running the BETA clients anymore.

I'm not sure I'm into all this within-team stomping. It's a team thing.

I might rename all my machines anonymous for Team 10 - that should result in a fairly mighty stomp on week 1!

Maybe on the 2nd of May 2006 (That's when I should go top 5 on the team).

After that I'm not going to be able to stomp anyone ever again so I might change my name and start again.

It was a sorta joke! Ever since you came on the stage I knew I was going to be stomped!
Inter-team competition can be good sometimes, can get people to up the work-load.
I don't have anymore money atm, so no more naked systems for me

Cheers,

Kinnison.

I'm just changing jobs at the moment and it looks like I'll be in charge of a new SAP system at my new workplace. There are 35 brand new P4 660 workstations just waiting to be borged. That's 70 threads at roughly 225ppd (1 QMD every 2 days)= 15750ppd. The server and it's failover sister have 4 Xeons each. All of a sudden I feel quite light-headed....

I cry every time I go into college and see 100+ P4's sat there doing pretty much nothing all day.

I need to get friendly with their IT bloke

I second that...although I get enough fun clocking them up in my lunchtime

BIOS pass wasnt hard to work out.

Yeah I'm working on that now, but seeing as the WEP key was the first row on the keyboard followed by the second, I doubt it'll be too difficult

Sad isn't it

! If I were to be able to stick F@H on all of the PCs at mine, there would be over 350! Although needless to say they wouldn't know what hit them when the electricity bill came through!

(BoG) Napalm · 12 Jan 2006 at 12:04

Hmm, tried to run it off a memory card, but F@H didn't have access to the internet... wonder if you can run it to download via HTTP?
