Bumping this to get people onboard for our new DC project, Folding@Home. Is everybody waiting until Distributed Folding is over before switching to F@H or do the majority of us not want to do F@H? I was under the assumption that everybody wanted F@H vs. SETI so I went ahead and created everything we need. Give me your thoughts :D

Wow, a descision (oh, blast, how do You spell that one, anyway?).
Good!
I´m in. I didn´t buy that new processor for nothing.

I set it up on my notebook just now and will roll it out on all my home PCs over the next few days.

Nightfall 09-07-2004 01:59 PM

There.... I now have all my machines swapped over to F@H besides my A64. I'll get that up and folding next week. Im waiting for my new motherboard and Antec Aria to be delivered from Newegg; thats where my current gaming rig is being transferred to. Hope the 300 watt PS is enough for my X800 Pro :shrug:

I added another box tonight... I should be pretty poor competition though

Man, have you checked the stats page... you are gaining on me fast, though I am completing work units faster than you. Damn F@H and their scoring scheme :D

pHaestus 09-09-2004 09:04 AM

I think it's the CAD/USD exchange rate FINALLY working in my favor :)

I believe you will take the #1 position soon, that is until Arcturius gets his ungodly amount of xeons folding.

pHaestus 09-09-2004 10:51 AM

How can this be? I only have 4 PCs folding:

P-M 1.7 (intermittantly)
P4 2.6
Barton @2200MHz
1600+ AXP

Just switched main mach. Will switch others as time allows.

The way that F@H does it's scoring system is like this:

They take whatever the current protein is and fold it on a 2GHz P4; the amount of time it takes to do an entire WU on this machine is the basis for judging points on all other work units recieved. I believe the lowest amount of points you can get for a work unit is 20 If your machine finishes the work unit faster than their base machine (The 2GHz P4) than you get more points accordingly. I would suspect that your P4 2.6 and P-M 1.7 (meg of cache?) are creating the majority of your points. I am not getting many points because I have a lot of machines folding, but they are all shitty. I.E. 5x Celeron 500's in 1U rackmount chassis's, PIII 933, PIII 733, etc.

I am not 100% certain that is the way it works, more like pretty sure :shrug:

pHaestus 09-09-2004 05:34 PM

You just pulled way away from me again

You know why? I found out my A64 does really well :D It might be what keeps me in 1st... mmmmmm A64 :)

Arcturius 09-10-2004 05:08 PM

Let's see how well a HT Xeon 2.66 does with 2x clients... ;)
I'll move the rest of my machines over when df hits target, or one-by-one if I find any that aren't actually folding for df.

Nightfall: you have another Celeron 500 back on df :D

Did you ever crack that netscreen at Harvest Time? I'm betting you know why i'm asking ;)

Just got 8Ghz of P4 folding yesterday :evilaugh: (Intermittently, though, because they get shut off at night :( )

prb123 09-14-2004 12:15 PM

What is going on? How can I be in third place with only two machines folding (P4 2.5@2.9 & Celeron 600@900)? Are that many people waiting for DF to end?

Read my post on how scoring works ;)

prb123 09-14-2004 04:13 PM

I did...and I realize this. However you are still kicking some butt which is good. My main question has to do with why we do not have more Folders/Computers. How many of you are waiting for DF to end, and will you join F@H?

pH is doing pretty well too :)

Arcturius 09-14-2004 04:45 PM

I know I'll be switching when DF ends (which will be 10/1, since we should hit the production goal 3-4 days before that).

3rd place will be much harder to maintain after that. (see sig) :D

prb123 09-14-2004 05:26 PM

No complaints about loosing third place...supprised to be there anyway.
I'll have to try and add a few machines at work.

Nightfall 09-14-2004 05:41 PM

I would have to agree, we need more people folding. How do we go about that though, any ideas? How about we start a thread on the [H] Forums to lure them into folding for ProCooling ;)

JWFokker 09-14-2004 09:23 PM

I think that might start an interforum conflict of sorts, seeing as how [H]ardOCP is at #2 in the rankings behind Overclockers Australia. It might pay to start recruiting from some of the smaller teams like Silent PC Review and places like that.

Inter-Forum conflict... isn't that what ProCooling is all about?

We could even change our logo to [P]roCooling :p
