    F@H: CLI becomes competative?!

    Insidious wrote: Whine much, Sid? Are you comparing the PPD output of a five year old machine against a system with a motherboard and CPU that were released in 2007? My Q6600-based systems can turn-around an SMP WU in less than twelve hours. That's a lot of information for Stanford in a...

    F@H Top Crunchers...

    F@H WU times

    Other useful info that you could include (but not limited to): - OS - Amount of RAM in the machine - Clock speed of the E6600 (is it 'stock'? is it overclocked to the point where the CPU warps space-time?) - Which project(s) you are currently crunching - Is this machine dedicated to...

    Neat little article in the Chicago Tribune on distributed computing projects

    The Chicago Tribune ran a neat little article on distributing computing projects. I laughed when they interviewed one guy who runs the Folding client on seven computers. Oooooo!!! The reporter should have interviewed MadMurph or Markfw. :)...

    Folding@Home: 24 hour stats - December 27, 2007

    Don't put the 1.5 Megapoint bell away just yet. We'll be ringing that bell for MadMurph within a week. He'll pass me within two weeks (barring an ice storm, "help" from Markfw, etc.) MadMurph's PPD is simply amazing. I think he's using that Ukranian Smp Affinity program that I read...

    PLease let this thread die

    Insidious wrote: Insidious, there is something about the Fah SMP Affinity Changer program that makes my "spidey sense" tingle. The whole "leet speak" by rilian does not increase my confidence in that program. The icing on the cake is the "testimonials" by Folders who have installed the...

    Project 3060 - WUs worth 2539 each!

    Uppsala9496 wrote: This is a rough estimate: The Q6600 that is currently crunching the 3060 WU can turn-around a WU from project 3043 (1440 points) in under 12 hours. This is running Fedora 7 and one copy of the F@H SMP client for Linux. Watching FahMon today, it looked like the 3060 WU...

    GLeeM, I'm catching up to you. Can you see my headlights in your rearview mirror? :D MadMurph is going to pass me shortly after I pass you. -s :beer:

    Project 3060 - WUs worth 2539 each!

    Has anyone else put a hook into these whopper work units for project 3060? I just noticed that one of my Q6600s is working on a WU that is worth 2539 points. Wow!!! I'll watch the elapsed time on that baby to see if this WU takes any longer than the 1440 point WUs that seem to be the main...

    MM, congrats on moving into 13th place. I think you and I will be meeting soon. Around the time that we both hit 1.75 million points, you'll pass me. I'm not going to make it easy for you to catch me so you better keep the pedal mashed to the floor. :D -s :beer:

    F@H Holiday Racers Welcome!

    Hi All: I noticed that everyone is talking about building more systems. I have a boatload of parts in my spare bedroom. If you are building a system and need something like a 120mm fan or the original heatsink/cooling fan that came with the Intel C2D and Intel quadcore CPUs, drop me a line...

    OT: Crunching friends in the claws of the ice storm: How are you?

    It's all good here in Wisconsin. We (I am near Milwaukee) got a lot of frozen rain and a couple of inches of snow but it wasn't that bad. All of the schools in the area closed for the day because the weather forecasters had warned us a big storm was on the way. Our friends to the south in...
