11th Annual Folding@Home Holiday Season 3-way Race

[TennesseeTony]

My power turned on and off about six times before giving up the ghost at bedtime last night. It was out for quite a while but on when I awoke.

So much for a smooth shutdown of F@H and changing to PrimeGrid for a bit.

TVA, "You may never give any thought to our extensive power transmission system. That’s because we’re doing our job. We’ve delivered 99.999 percent reliability since the year 2000."

Yeah, right!

 

[TennesseeTony]

The Weekly Stats are up. We had (almost) 46 users in the millionaires club this week! Wow!

Here are the stats for December 18, 2016., and the 17th day of the 11th Annual Folding@Home Holiday Season Race.
The stats are from http://folding.extremeoverclocking.com/team_list.php?s=, updated at 21:00 UTC (=3pm CST).
Only the points count. The ppd is there for information only.

The Teams' stats

The Yetis vs. The Snowmen

The sub-teams' daily production

Well, the drop in production by The Snowmen is in part due to power outage for Tony, but also due to the PrimeGrid Race, where Tony, Ken_g6 and many others take part. Therefore the Folding@Home race will be very variable for the next three days.

The racers' daily production

Also some racers are returning ... welcome back!

Ok, this is all for today. I'll see the next days stats and then we will see how the numbers are ...

Thanks for the stats!

Cheers Petrus
I had to shut off GPU crunching last night as my son stayed over & it was just too hot! Back on now.

Today the effects of the PrimeGrid Challenge race is very clearly visible.

Well, that is all for today. Please continue to fold all you can!

We all appreciate your work, Petrusbroder.

OK, I am back....I got my 2 1070's in today...To add to my one. 1.8 million ppd in one box that takes 585 watts for 3 cards and 24 cores...

 

[Smoke]

Holy Moley, all by one PC w/16 cores and 3 1070s.

24 cores. I leave 8 for the 1070's

 

[IJump]

Don't kick me off the team, my wife unplugged my computer!

I should look at my stats more often.

 

[Markfw]

And if you want to see what triple 1070's and 24 cores look like:

/me is jealous. Sweet rig

I should look at my stats more often.

You are still on the TeAm but she's in big trouble!

 

[Smoke]

Looking at Markfw's rig, I think I know where there is some hard drive space available.

 

[TennesseeTony]

Dear Santa, can TeAm Anandtech have one billion points this month for Christmas?

Sincerely, the TeAm.

Monthly Production
Month.....Points............ WUs
12.16.....877,713,850.....45,123

 

[Markfw]

Only one problem with 3 cards. The EVGA Precision OC software will only control 2 of them. 400 mhz lower on the 3rd card. May have to put number 3 in another box... crap

 

[TennesseeTony]

MSI AfterBurner

I found the EVGA Precision tool interesting only as an auto-overclock tool, where it tests the max overclock. And it didn't go as high as I have it now.

Now that you know what speed the two cards can run at, assume the third card can do the same, use afterburner, go to settings and check synchronize settings and start with windows, close settings, bump up the power to 110%, clock to +150 (on a stock card, less for factory overclock), press ENTER, save as profile 1.

Here are the stats for December 20, 2016., and the 19th day of the 11th Annual Folding@Home Holiday Season Race.
The stats are from http://folding.extremeoverclocking.com/team_list.php?s=, updated at 21:00 UTC (=3pm CST).
Only the points count. The ppd is there for information only.

The teams' stats

The two teams have folded more than 1 billion points together. That is a massive number if points! Well done!

The yetis vs. The snowmen

The sub-teams daily production

It is very evident, that more folders have left The Snowmen than The Yetis.
Also the PrimeGrid Winter Solstice race has impacted the Snowmen heavily: while Mark_F_ Williams folds on in the Yetis, TennesseTony crunches primes ...

The Racers' daily production

I am proposing one more leveling the of the subteams and to run the last part as a separate race. Please let me know what you think!
If a folder has not delivered any points in 4 days, that folder will be moved into the "passive" group (below the dotted line. If a folder resumes folding, and has done so for two days, thet folder will be moved to the active group (above the dotted line). It does not matter for the results of the teams since all points are counted, but it makes a better overview.

 

[Smoke]

The main problem with the Snowmen is they are just not real, unlike the Yetis.

 

[TennesseeTony]

Snowmen are to real! You saying this picture was faked!? That's a real Snowman!

 

[Ken g6]

The PrimeGrid race is over. Could have gone a little better if a few more people had put a few more machines on it.

In any case...

 

[TennesseeTony]

I'm back from PrimeGridding, and a power flicker while I was at work shut down my cable modem. Yeah. Everything else restarted, but I have no idea how long my little farm animals went without internet. Long enough for everybody to be out of work. Yeah.

Anywho, should be back up to 4.3M ppd soon-ish.

The teams' stats

The Yetis vs. The Snowmen

The sub-teams daily production

The racers' daily production

The primegrid race ended during the past 24 hours. Some of the folders will restart folding. Thus i expect The Snowmen's production to climb.
I'll wait with the balancing/restructuring of the sub-teams for one or two days ...

We will probably break the 1 billion-points-produced-in-one-month milestone in December 2016 ...
