OK, new thread for the next week.

First, a big shout out to the SETI and BOINC members who have added CPUs to the effort. Remember, its Team 36120, NOT Team 0.

Next, congrats to all for bumping our team up to 550 processors and 232 user names. We have a number of new users in the team, with over a 40 computers now from GetLoaded.com, a trucking support website, all contributing while their owners ply our freeways keeping the nation moving.

New members of the week include:

Mike_Medved (Thank you very much for your support)
Zach_Erskine
Route66
OldsDon'tFloat (who is this!? - can't link to a FR screen name. Must be from MA)
glockrocks
Mrs_1066AD (thanks for the family involvement)
Thom_Pain
Dplowdude
Egon
holly_go_rightly
c505ber
Derllak (award for the fastest new folder, streaking up the boards)(Fastest Folding Streaker Award?)

Even more impressive, our team now boasts 145 members who have folded at least 1,000 points. That is more than the entire number of folders for our erstwhile left-wing environazi competitors!

Free Republic Folding@Home Stats Page

On the global front, Free Republic Folders is now listed at # 326. We will be in the Top 300 on Wednesday!

As we continue to grow there are a number of milestones coming around the bend:

Top 300 by February
Top 250 by the end of the February

We have 1,000,000 points so far and have folded over 8,030 WU. We will soon reach an exalted mark of folding a million points per month, each and every month! Fantastic!

Thanks again to all that are helping us advance science and promote the peaceful use of computers.

Look at the graphic in post #44, at the check box right above the "cancel" button. That's all of the configuration that there is. I'm going to try it once [unless I hear otherwise] when I finish my WU on Friday.

Our question is, "How does doing work in batches affect folding?"

RE "batches: I went to the FAQ for FAH, and it didn't specifically mention the "batches" option. It did say this: The default configuration (no flags): the most stable way to run FAH is without any flags and with the default answers to the client configuration settings. One will get a variety of work units. The majority of disease related work units are assigned to clients without any flags.

I'm assuming "no flags" means no boxes checked on the Advanced tab in Configuraion.

It is amazing how fast this team has shot up. We will be in the top 300 in just 2 more days. Then into the top 200 in just another month.

After that it looks like we will be passing < one team a day for awhile.

Gives me some details on how you set this up so I can give it a try.

On the graphical client, in the advanced tab in the configuration window, at the bottom choose deadlineless AND check "Get and return deadlineless work in batches". That's all I did.

On my PC, I can fold one deadlineless WU (239 - 241 points) in just over a day. If I fold "regular" WUs, I can fold more WUs but they total less points (more like 150 - 200 points).

Yeah, now they're only falling behind about 21k points a day instead of 20k points/day. Since 21k is greater than 20k, they must be catching up. Right?

Hey, Mal, you know anything about coding/programmimg?

Depends on the Language. C/C++/VB/.net/c#/SQL/etc. are a good part of what I do for a living(Engineer/Programmer).. I've only done cursory work with web stuff using higher level CMS like PHPNuke, Postnuke(my Gaming website), etc. I mean, I can write an applet to send up an XML POST/Retieve/whatever, but the actual XML is all machine generated. As for basic HTML, I just know the basic tags, the rest I use plugins, activeX or applets to make the more complicated table and frame code.

OK. I'm using the console version not the graphical client. It asks if you only want to process deadlineless WU's, but doesn't say anything about batch processing. I'll try it out when I get to a good stopping point.

Thanks

They only fell behind another 27,384 points today.

I have updated the point total graphs in post #35.

I posted the instructions for the graphical version because that's what I assumed most people are using. For the console version:

Run config
Yes to "Change advanced options"
Yes to "Request WUs w/o deadlines"
Yes to "Minimize networking -- get and submit work in batches"

I don't think that higher points are due to running in batches, but due to using deadlineless WUs. I use batch processing just in case I can't connect to the internet.
