F@H Holiday Race

[biodoc]

I won't be setting up and running the F@H holiday Race this year. My wife has had a number of health issues this past year and she needs my help 24/7 so most of the time I'm exhausted by the end of the day. Here's the link for last years race if anyone is interested in running this years race. https://forums.anandtech.com/thread...race-is-over-and-marks-marauders-win.2609295/

 

[StefanR5R]

Thank you for hosting the last four races. It must have been a lot of work.
Best wishes to both of you.

 

[crashtech]

Thanks for everything you've done for us, biodoc. Family first!

 

[biodoc]

@StefanR5R , thank you for the data collection scripts you wrote for me.

 

[Pokey]

Thanks for your past work. And best to your wife. Hope the road ahead will ease up for you both.

Instead of a race, how about we try to break a team record? As far as I know, the TAAT monthly record is 11.5 billion points. Can we beat that?

 

[crashtech]

I'm in!

 

[biodoc]

Me too!

 

[Endgame124]

I’ll keep track of the points then for daily, weekly, and all of Jan. I’ll post the records here, and worst case we try to top it again next year

 

[StefanR5R]

I'll be in. (If my internet link isn't acting up again.)

 

[Endgame124]

Currently daily peak Dec 25 2023: 340,386,332

​

Currently weekly peak: week of Dec 3rd 2023: 1,745,506,390

​

Current monthly peak: Jan 2023: 11,452,153,359

Just returned home after being away doing family stuff, and have had most of the puters shut down! Firing up JUNK now!

Looking forward to the team beating past year's production!

 

[Markfw]

I am in. My high was Jan of 23 at 2.8 billion for Jan. I should be able to beat that this year. Guessing 3.1 billion.

 

[Pokey]

Dang, I had planned to run just the one rig, but it might be interesting to see how they all might fare a year later.

That's assuming I can get them woke up and running. What might be the dates for the record attempt? And are there any rules?

I don’t have any particular rules in mind. I’m just taking the point totals from the eoc stats, and will grab the final January total on Feb 1. I’ll use the same site to establish weekly peak and daily peak.

 

[Assimilator1]

I'm in!
After firing up Einstein on my rig to help keep my lounge warm (I'm damned if I'm firing up my central heating! lol), I suddenly realised it's about the time of year for F@H events!
So after I've burnt off this batch of Einstein WUs I'll switch to F@H.

*************************************************

@biodoc
No worries, and thank you for running previous races.
I hope things improve with your wife.

 

[Pokey]

BTW, guys are we "signing up" to be on the team, or are we using the whole F@H team??

I'm leaning toward signing up for duty. As always. But either way is OK.

 

[crashtech]

Well, the metrics being used to gauge past performance are based on the TeAm at large, and the vibe is informal, so I am leaning towards not having to opt-in, that will make it very much easier for the stats keeper, too.

 

[Endgame124]

Exactly. I don’t have an easy to track individual performance and it’s fairly irrelevant to last years performance of the entire team.

 

[Markfw]

Exactly. I don’t have an easy to track individual performance and it’s fairly irrelevant to last years performance of the entire team.

Not only that. If you take the last 24 hour numbers from crashtech, Pokey and myself its over 320 million for one day, and that would be over 10 billion easily for the month by itself.

I could be wrong, but its looking like a 3 way race within the team and the rest only do a fraction of the team results, so why not make it easy to track.

Edit: could more more, biodoc and cellarnoise both over 40 mill, so 5 way are most of the team.

Wow! The TeAm is currently 10th overall WORLD wide!!!

This says 15th place. I don't understand the difference ???

 

[StefanR5R]

https://folding.extremeoverclocking.com/team_list.php?s=&srt=3 --> sorted by 24hr Avg shows us in 10th indeed.

 

[mmonnin03]

I'm in again this year. From last year I think I have 1 less GTX 1070 so I'm still around 28-29m PPD from the 1st set of WUs.

My last year's stats from EOC where I ran past the competition to get to 1b points.

02.23 217,642,419 598
01.23 786,320,263 2,322
12.22 1,131,517 5

I'm out. Although it's not my Internet link at home which is at fault individually, as I noted in the other thread. It must be something with the whole route which makes F@H's work servers and collection servers (or F@H's gateways or whatever) break up my uploads randomly.
