5th Annual Folding@Home Holiday Season Race thread.

[Peter Trend]

Thanks for the stats Peter! The TeAm is doing wonderfully, good work all! Merry Christmas

 

[Pokey]

Thanks for the stats Peter. :thumbsup:

These swings with the -bigadv work units sure make it hard to tell what's going on for sure .............. :\

Agreed! It seems the race is now a close one.

Thanks for the stats, Peter!

 

[petrusbroder]

Here are the stats as of December 26, 2010; 18:09 UTC.

Well raced, TeAm! The race is very close; less than 1% is the difference between the teams, or approximately half a day's of production. Hmmm, that is not very much ...

Crunch more, please!

 

[biodoc]

Thanks for the Stats, Peter!

 

[CupCak3]

Nice, thanks Peter!

 

[petrusbroder]

Here are the stats as of December 27, 18:25 UTC:

This is really an even race: more than 28 million points produced, just about 112 000 points in difference between the teams = 0.39%. <Petrusbroder shakes his head.>
In this race we had very few recruiting, most of the increase in PPD (which is more than 560K) is probably due to hardware upgrades ... and new computers added.

Only 4 more days. The final stats will be done January 1, approx 18:30 UTC. All depending if I get home from the on-call-duty in the hospital. :\
The data will be collected at 18:07 - 18:10 no matter what ... ()

 

[biodoc]

Thanks for the Stats, Peter! It is certainly a close race.

My 1090T has been running at 3.95 GHz for 36 h.

CPU multiplier = 18x
CPU freq (FSB) 200 --> 220

Increasing the FSB in my bios automatically increases the NB-freq and HT link freq from 2000 --> 2200

I had to bump up the CPU voltage to 1.425 V. All other voltages are default (auto).

 

[petrusbroder]

Nice OC. I am considering to get myself a 1090T-system (with two nice GPUs) just for folding. We will see if I can afford it ...

 

[GLeeM]

Thanks for the stats, Peter

This is a very close race!
It could easily depend on someones -bigadv WU getting in on time or a few hours late.
I should finish the current -bigadv tomorrow morning which should give enough time to finish another ... I hope!

I just travelled 90 miles round trip, by coach, to my computers and back to my parents house just to reset my modem! Full steam ahead now.
I'm 22 today! .beer. ___ .more beer.

Happy birthday!!!!

so how is the youth around here competing:

Peter Trend 22 years old PPD 27/12/10: 18144
Tom Philippart 21 years old PPD 27/12/10: 18166

Interesting, there must be a correlation between age and ppd

 

[petrusbroder]

LoL! Should i make some stats out of that?
It probably would show a correlation between age, money and PPD.

Now that's dedication..............

Happy Birthday too.

My ppd took a horrible hit the past few days. Installed windows 7 on my main rig, and did that ever turn into a fiasco. Finally have it up and running and just installed the gpu3 client again.

 

[petrusbroder]

Here are the stats as of December 28, 2010, 18:30 UTC.

An other good day of folding. The race approaches 30 million points crunched. This day was won by the Snowmen. Congrats! :awe:

The difference increased only by 120K - 2 -bigadv workunits. The total difference is less than 4 -bigadv WUs ...

All this is so good for the science!
This is good for the TeAm! :biggrin:

Keep the good work up!

Edit: corrected the stats-sheet.

PB, as much as I would like to take credit for 114367 points, I'm fairly certain that my X3 did not morph into an OC-ed i7. But thanks for the optimism.

I'm guessing 14367 is more like it.

 

[Markfw]

Yes, I had a 375k day yesterday, but I will pay the price over the next 2 days...

Thanks for the correction - which has been incorporated in the stats-sheet. It was a split-second too long hit on the "1"-key on the keyboard ... :$

I'm proud to say I have never done anything like tttthat....

Thanks for the stats..........

I just got two Q9300 CPUs, for my E2140 rigs. I was going to upgrade them, put in Antec EarthWatts 650W PSUs, and pull my two GTX460 1GB cards out of my Q6600@3.6/2nd F@H rig, and put them into the new quad-core rigs.

I was planning on waiting until after the F@H race to upgrade them. But I'm wondering if I should do it before the F@H race is over.

Would the drop in PPD by shutting off my current rig, be made up by more PPD by the two (non-overclocked) quad-cores? I'm thinking it wouldn't, therefore I should wait until the end of the race to upgrade.

I would leave your Q6600 w/ the 2 GTX460s running until the end of the race. I would upgrade the 2 E2140s and get smp WUs going on those ASAP.

You're call, though. Remember, I'm a snowman!
