We have a golden opportunity for fun: the CASP8-race. Please read about it at the rosetta or POEM-sites.
Someone 😉 suggested a race within the TeAm AnandTech DC community.
I am proposing the following idea:
1. The race is similar to the Folding@home Holiday Season Race
2. The race will in BOINC-projects only - because it is hard to compare Folding@home with the BOINC-projects.
3. The projects in question are just now Rosetta@home and POEM. If other folding projects using BOINC participate we can add those too.
4. The race runs for 1 month, e.g. from June 1 to June 30. CASP8 runs from May 5 (when the first targets were released) to August 1 (when the race will be closed).
5. Racers register in this thread using their TA-name and the project they want to race in.
6. I will do the stats, and I will also try to balance the teams - as we do in the Folding@home race.
7. There are differences between the project's way to calculate credits. In this thread we will discuss how to compensate for these differences in a respectful and gracious manner.
8. If one of the racers makes one of the best predictions (which will be mentioned on Rosetta's or POEM's site) that racers points will be multiplied by 10 and credited to his/her team.
These are ideas. They are free for discussion.
Please remember that this is for the fun first, the science second, the honor and glory of TeAm Anandtech third and the honor and glory of the cruncher fourth!
Please respond!
Edit:
The racers (as of May 9, 2008):
___ POEM _______ Rosetta _______ unattached
RudyToody _____ jonesthewine ____ Alyx
biodoc _____________ ___________ Petrusbroder
Neurodog
Let the list grow! :thumbsup:
