14th Annual Folding@Home Holiday Season Race: Final Stats.

[Icecold]

I'm in for the whole month. Folding name is Icecold. Not sure yet on PPD, but probably pretty low.

 

[TennesseeTony]

Welcome Icecold! Don't hesitate for a moment to ask any questions you may have!

 

[Daishiki]

All right. I'll join in as well. Unless I want to push my laptop, let's say 200-300K PPD. I fold as "Daishi". Maybe Santa will drop off a new GPU early.

@biodoc , with the race getting close, I see my ppd is more like 17.5 million ppd.

Everybody else .... Time to start folding ! A little over a week until it starts !

I made your PPD adjustment and also fired up my GPUs.

Thanks. I looked at this https://folding.extremeoverclocking.com/user_summary.php?s=&u=93494

And its a 95% confidence level at 17.5 and a very straight line.

Edit: Maybe I should but this in the milestones thread, but I recently got number 20 in the WORLD for F@H

 

[lane42]

biodoc, ill be at around 6M. ppd instead of 4.5 and be in for 12 days instead of 7
if that's ok.

So you are not doing the entire month ? inter-team race ?

 

[lane42]

Iam going to jump on the PrimeGrid Summer Solstice Challenge on the 12th. I hope
iam not the only one

 

[crashtech]

In as crashtech, obviously, but I guess we have to make it official!

 

[StefanR5R]

There is one thing which I hate about Folding@home: It lets the coils on the GPUs whine very loudly.

SETI@home in contrast has the coils quietly chirping like birds.

 

[crashtech]

My hearing damage makes it so I never hear coil whine anymore...

 

[petrusbroder]

I'll be in - with one computer (one GPU: GTX 1660Ti) - but probably not all of December.

 

[lane42]

I worked in Bowling, on the machines for 45 years with crashing pins 8 hours a day.
All I hear is Eeeeeeeeeeeeee. What's coil whine

 

[Howdy]

Hmmmm I'm torn between listening to tinnitus or coil whine, the tinnitus is louder. LOL

 

[Markfw]

I will take either.... since I am deaf. Please let me hear coil whine or tinnitus !

 

[biodoc]

I put some preliminary teams together. It's a bit difficult since some didn't have an estimate for PPD so I had to guess.

Let me know what you think.

 

[Orange Kid]

I like it. You can always readjust as in the past.

 

[StefanR5R]

After the first 24 h of my heating evaluations at home, my initial estimation of just one triple-GPU computer heating the entire apartment (with very marginal support by central heating) and producing 3.5 M PPD doing so, looks about right.

I may require additional heating if it gets considerably colder (possible, but not all that likely), or if neighbors take off into winter vacations (December is too early for this).

 

[lane42]

@biodoc , what ppd are you getting with your 2070 Super.

 

[biodoc]

@biodoc , what ppd are you getting with your 2070 Super.

For project #14196, 1.5 M PPD. The 2070 and 2070 super are nearly identical on F@H.

 

[lane42]

Thanks biodoc. I didn't know there were different projects in F@H. Iam
guessing it's like different angle ranges in Seti, some workunits are harder then
others. I have a 14196 running now, about 75% done, @ 2.7M ppd, ia'm
guessing that's ok ? I was thinking of getting a 2070 super.

 

[biodoc]

I didn't know there were different projects in F@H.

Here's a list of project #'s. If you click on the project number, you'll see more information regarding the science and goals.

Project 14196 is a cancer related project.

I have a 14196 running now, about 75% done, @ 2.7M ppd

That must be an RTX2080Ti. I think there's a big jump in performance going from a 2080 to the 2080Ti on FAH.

I see no difference in specific project PPD for 2070 and 2070S cards with driver version 430.50. The projects with very low atom counts have lower PPD.

 

[TennesseeTony]

...@ 2.7M ppd...

FROM ONE CARD!?!

 

[lane42]

I know mark has a few of these cards, LUCKY
The ppd with these cards are really all over the place. You can
get 2.4M ppd and then get a bunch of 3M ppd. work so, I don't know.
