Well thanks to this, some of you who’ve passed me by should check the rear view mirror. Last night I got my new PS3 online and folding. It’s already on its third work unit. All it’s ever going to do is fold 24/7 except for perhaps watching an occasional BlueRay DVD.
I don’t think I’m going to be stuck at position 66 much longer...

On second thought, it looks like wysiwyg_FR is going to demote me to position 67 before I get a chance to pass anyone... ;-)
Nice progress wysiwyg, what are you running that’s gobbling up the points so fast?

Nice! Be sure and wave as you pass me by! ;-)
Time for me to enlist some familial aid. I know my son has a machine or two he could be running this on... Maybe, just maybe, I can stay ahead of you long enough to pass someone else before you pass me... :)

FAHMonitor has been experiencing some issues this weekend, stemming from a server rebuild.
It's possible over the next couple of days that there will continue to be brief outtages, as I get some @#$%&@ run-away DCOM process issue debugged.

It happens, but still it’s a great tool.
I just got back from Korea to find virtually all my machines down due to a power failure. No points for most of last week. However, I’m getting them up and should be at 60-80% of DU in a day or two.
Having passed the million mark, I’m officially at 16 or 17% of their total. Give me till Christmas and I’ll be at 20% or higher.
Klutz and I will make them look like monkeys.

Well the power failure and misc problems have put the Mini-Wulf on hold for the forseeable future.
However, a new surprise this morning. The SMP client I’m running on some windows boxes has expired. Looks like I’m slowly getting notice at different points in time. Will have to deal with that this week as well.

Making them look like monkeys will be easier when the Windows SMP client will run as a service.
To: cost_benefit
I think that we have about half a dozen PS3s on the team.
Not as many as we would like to have folding!

It looks like several of our systems have moved over to the SMP client, especially the Mac SMP.
Sure puts out a lot of points.

That POPC for 1760 seems to be the only work load they’re throwing at the SMP clients I’m running. Have to wonder how long POPC deal will last and whether or not all the SMP work will always return that level of value.
To: Fortyfied
During beta testing of new F@H kernals the point values are higher, sometimes doubled.
Take advantage of it. With your contribution the FReeper folding team will pass five teams this month, and only 2 PS3 teams can keep up with us.

[snip] Folding@home hit a true petaFLOP on Sept 16. Then the PS3 folders hit a petaFLOP by themselves on Sept 23! [end]
