Yeah. Definately weird ;).
Woo Hoo... Magic million sometime early tommorrow !!!!
Thanks all, for the congrats.
As for the weird spikes, and slumps, and all, I'm afraid that I've got to take some responsibility. With 350 CPU's, and some evil energy managers, I can tell you when we're going to spike, and when we're going to slump. No matter how hard I try, I can't convince them to let me run 24x7x365.
If I can leave all 350 on, 24x7, for about 7 days, my daily production is going to be around 25,000. Turning them off every night, and then being used during the day, gives me an average of around 13,000. Weekends, only my hard core, those directly under my control, continue to fold, and give me about 7K per day.
The heavy melts being handed out has seemed to exacerbate this situation, with some machines now taking up to 3 weeks to get through one, with the on/off+being used for real work cycle.
But, on the bright side, microsoft continues to screw up, so every other week, I get to turn them on, and leave them on, so my patch management software can catch up.
My production is going to start really sucking about mid-may, and won't come back until mid-august. But, in that 3 month hiatus, I hope to have several thousand machines infected with the "Folding virus"... ( just kidding, it really isn't, but you know what I mean --- it's infected me, not the cpu's )
In the meantime, despite my weird mood swings, the team continues to post impressive numbers, and is still gaining steadily on the top teams. There are only a few, that still outfold us, but we'll eventually get within range of them too.
