A great big warm welcome to the team!
If you haven't done so already then why not check out the Folding@Home Setup Guide and the Quickie Guide for more foldy-tastic tips especially for when you're in a rush

Ouch a very Red week all round
Still moving in the right direction though - way to go team!
Sorry anyone who's not been mentioned - you know what to do now
***Only got one machine crunching? - Have a looky here***

[BillytheImpaler]

Nice week, team! Red is such a nice color.

 

[Unforgiven]

Another great week for the team (including yet another stomp) and a 50K tiffy for me thrown in as well.

Thanks as always for the news Rich.

 

[LordShadow]

Mwahahahahaha Concorde you have been knocked from your perch
E6600 and X1900XT for the win! hehe.
Nice to see we have a stomp this week!
Lets just make sure we keep going and integrating new members.

 

[divine`]

Back above 1000 for the week, that's what we like to see

 

[FreeStream]

GPU hasn't been folding for last 48 hours I've been playing a lot, probably another 48 hours the GPU hasn't been folding.

I could have passed 7k in one week.


Farcry is coming this week aswell, so GPU won't be doing much

 

[dunc]

Cracking bit of news as always Mr 99million Sah

Got my 300k tiffy

Seems to be borked at the moment and is reading 0 points

Still I am sure it will correct itself soon

Dunc

 

[Stan_Lite]

A good week for team 10. I wouldn't read too much into the drop in output - as we all know, there has been a severe shortage of decent WUs around recently. Even before I switched half the farm over to Rosetta@home, my output was down from around 5,000 ppd to 4,000 which is about a 10% decrease - which is pretty much in line with the total drop for the team.

I've kept some good rigs for Folding so I should still be producing about 2,500-3,000 ppd (as long as it doesn't all go **** up when I'm away ).

As always, thanks to Rich for the news and a warm foldy welcome to the new peeps

Fold on team 10

Stan

PS: Nice tiffy Dunc

 

[joeyjojo]

Been said above really. Droop in output, but it would be surprising if it rose yet again. Nicer wus seem to be coming out now, so we should be increasing again soon. Nice to have a stomp too

Go single machine league folders! Fight fight fight!

 

[Joe42]

Thanks for the news, and thanks to everyone for keeping our output high.

Not a bad week for me really in terms of folding output. Although with all these high flyers whizzing past it'll be about a month before i actually get anywhere.

Had an absolute nightmare of a week for things breaking though.

It began with my laptop sd card reader dieing on Sunday evening while i was doing some work in the car, followed by the media centre randomly loosing the tv signal again on Monday, followed on Tuesday by the main disk in the fileserver containing important homework corrupting itself.
On Wednesday the media centre started dropping out of the network (thankfully it had a long wu so no harm done to my output) and the main pc also decided to start dropping out. And finally today i had to fix another pc which was randomly creating new user accounts under the same name and hiding the old ones.
An hour into Friday and everything seems to be working... i await today's little computer related incident with anticipation.
How a little home network with 4 or 5 pcs takes up this much time to maintain i'll never know. I must be cursed.

 

[SiriusB]

Oh dear. My production seems to be falling at a rate of 1000PPD a week. 6K is pretty good but I know I should be doing better. Goodamn WUs!

SiriusB

 

[tom_e]

has anyone else noticed that you seem to be registering large amounts of dumped wu's and only getting 1 or 2 points from each, recently

 

[BillytheImpaler]

Are you talking about Sirius? His numbers look OK to me.

EDIT: Ooh, it's been a while since I had a gander at my EOC stats. It looks like I'm going to stompify some regulars shortly.

Parp parp to:
Prescott28
happytechie
Appleby
Otacon

Expect mine velveteen boot in the next month or so.

 

[mikeymike]

i might be wrong but doesnt that happen when the WU finishes early? like when your computer is unstable?

 

[MGP]

I'm amazed, despite crashes production was still up on last week I suspect that's about it now, still gettig a complete random mix of WUs with the occasional 600 pointers thrown in. Seems to be the luck of the draw.

Nice to see we did finally get that team stomp, but not good if our gain on other teams is slowing.

Great news as always Richlotsanumbers.

 

[BillytheImpaler]

i might be wrong but doesnt that happen when the WU finishes early? like when your computer is unstable?

You're very much right. blitz2163 is talking about some one EUE'ing (Early Unit End) which is usually a result of machine instability. However, I can't figure out who he's talking about.

 

[shadowscotland]

thanks for the news rich - postman been to the farm this week

Weeks been ok for me, bit down on production but that cus I've had a few days off this week so massively down on crunching hours (about 200 pc hour )

Whole farm now stuck on slow 300pts WU's as I'm sure most of us are - a few highlights of some 600's and the new 48ers getting crunched so it's not all poor ppd for me.

 

[mikeymike]

i thought blitz was refering to himself getting them?

oh and i have an evil WU this morning:
