GT40s.com Folding @ Home Team Formed

[Ron Earp]

They don't have one of these for a PSP do they? I have a PSP I take with me on trips, and of course it is wireless too. It must have some decent processing power. Xbox, the old one? I guess not.

I found out two of my machines has been off without me knowing it. Bad.

How often does it update stats? My computer 1 thinks it has done three WU, but the page only shows one.

Hi Ron,

No PSP client as of now. Stats are updated every hour. If you finish the work unit after it's deadline, which can happen if you turn off Folding at Home, or your network is down, the client will show how many work units it did, but this will not be reflected in the stats page. I believe the reason for this is that the work unit you were working on is reassigned to another participant after the deadline.

Regards,

Al

Nice work so far folks! Any other volunteers? We are about to break into the top 2000 teams (out of 65,000+). This means more detailed stats will also be available at:

Machine number 3 is at 58% after 45 days.
I'll let it finish off and retire it to the PC graveyard!

 

[raca]

so, any news ?

its been 15 days(and 11 WU for me ) since the last reply

 

[roaldin]

We're now in the top 1400!
Ron, are you sure you don't have any more computers lying around...

If you want a high score quick run the dual core processor Beta, the SMP one, assuming you have a dual core machine to run it on.

I started running this console only beta on a pretty ordinary Dell desktop and it flies. Around 48hours per WU and always around 1200 points a WU.

Thats how i got to 5th in our team with only 18 WU complete!!!

Hi,

I was working my way through the forums (it's been over a year now and I still haven't read all of them) and found this thread. So, seeing it's a good cause I've put 3 of my machines on it. Since yesterday I have already completed 1 work unit......!! and the others are chugging along..much like my GT40..

Cheers,

I just read this thread for the first time today! I have never read it before as from the title I assumed it related to some form of metalwork folding at home!! I wonder if that has put other people off from reading it too, or is it just me :stupid: (doh!)?

I used to run SETI on a number of machines years ago, but went through a phase of being 'less geeky' (and also genrally too busy) and never bothered putting it on newer machines - also my slideshow of my GT40 looks very nice!

Anyway, I will endeavour to start putting this on some machines again (or at least my main one at home).

I notice the forum team has fallen away.
I dropped out when I had a machine issue but I have had a team of my own running for a while now (in memory of a deceased relative). I wonder if others are doing the same or if its just something that's been forgotten about?

Is this thread defunct now?

 

[Ron Earp]

Probably so. Al hasn't logged onto the forum in over a year.

Not had any machines running for ages now, one of those applications you just forget about when rebuilding machines over the years

 

[Neal]

Still have two active machines running. Definitely worth a few CPU cycles!
