And the FaH race gets interesting...

[RustyNale]

Looking at the stats , TeAm AnandTech was poised to jump over Redfolders and almost immediately Alien Soup and into the top 20 😀 But it looks like Redfolders ramped up their production to hold us off, and The Tech Report is going to knock us back a spot when they fly past us ( they're doing twice our production :Q ).

To all those who joined, folded a few wu's, then drifted away....please fold a few more for the TeAm! Even one ( 1 ) wu a week would be a tremendous boost for us. You can run FaH along with most other DC programs with little or no impact on them, and I know the rest of the TeAm would be greatly appreciative of your help. Please consider folding a few wu's. Thanks. 😀

To the rest of my teammates, the ride has been wild so far, now we get to kick'em in the knee caps and climb over them--get your climbing shoes on dudes!! 😀😀😀

plz, everyone check to make sure they're doing a WU. I checked last time and saw a 1 MONTH time esitmation (folding monitor).. i figured it was a fluke and just ignored it for the time being (and forgot about it). i found out that i was doing barely nothing for the last MONTH. I was using the console as a service under XP... version 2.19. I have thus switched back to the GUI and just leave it in the tray again. I did it to my divx box as well just in case.

Another cool tid-bit, IceCream Man takes over 1st spot on TeAm Anandtech F@H!! WTG Ice!!!!!!!
may have happened yesterday, if theres a thread for this great acheivement already, disregard this babble.....
🙂🙂🙂🙂

 

[RustyNale]

Wow!! WTG IceCreamMan! I found it on Stanford's site, but it hasn't shown up on statman's site yet. r0tt3n1, why don't you post it for all to see?

Thanks, fellers.
I am relishing it while I can because in about 5 or 10 minutes GolfGeek is going to lope right by me.
Way to go team! Keep folding...

Is there a chart of which CPUs are better at Folding@Home as compared to say.. Seti@Home ?

EDIT: Another question: How is it that someone can have a higher "score" but a lower number of work units? 😕 Is there some degree of chance involved as to which machine finds a special something in the work unit that is being analyzed or what?

 

[GolfGeek]

Don't sweat it IceCreamMan, we don't what you to melt. I think it will more like 5-10 days not minutes. By the way - I should have 3 more servers up and running by the end of next week.
Fold baby Fold!

Yeah, what they do is spin a wheel and the value that comes up is what you get for points, they're not really concerned about how many wu's you do...






































j/k 😀 Actually, each wu is assigned pts depending on it's degree of difficulty to crunch, so ones that take longer to do end up being worth more pts than an easy one.

 

[networkman]

Okay, that helps. 🙂 So, is there a way to choose which type of work units you want to download and crunch, or do you just get assigned whatever?

 

[RustyNale]

You get what they send you--but each wu is based on the one you just finished, which is why unlike seti where you can download a whole bunch of wu's at one time, with FaH you only do one at a time.
