(Vanity) FreeRepublic Folding@Home Project Update (We're in the Top 1,200!)
Free Republic Folders Stats Page ^ | 12/25/2005 | me

OK, new thread for the next week.

First, a big shout out to the SETI 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 104 processors and 76 users. We have a number of new users in the team, with Clara Lou, fzx12345, SamfromLivingston, brityank, manwiththehands and Tami all popping onto the hit list this week.

Malsua, uriah and Ken in Texas are solidly in the top 10. Malsua is continuing to add systems and now accounts for 10% of the FR total. Great job!

Free Republic Folding@Home Stats Page

On the global front, Free Republic Folders is now listed at # 1196. We are poised to overtake (today):

carletonu (maybe in MN?)
Helms-Deep
2*ian
Dynadues
Soluchis
Greece and soon the
University of Pennsylvania!

We were passed by one team, SISD. My guess is that this team really is the computers of an Independent School District that were all "volunteered" to fold over the holidays. They are producing points at a rate of 37,000 points per day. As we gain members from the 100,000 FReepers that visit JimRob's place I expect that we will have a much greater long term growth than them.

I can't believe my lappy is running circles around my dual proc amd2800.

Don't worry, it probably isn't. There are different cores that get downloaded to solve the problem at hand, and each has a different number of frames and complexity per frame.

My fastest machine is now working on a 600 point problem: 250 frames at about 20 minutes per frame. Machine #2 has a 121 pointer: 1000 frames at about 2.5 minutes a frame. The old dog in the house just got stuck with a 3750 frame problem that will take about 8 days to finish. ;-)

With your help, Brock University will not overtake us in 2.8 months as they predict :)

We're only 5,700 points away from conquering Israel

I have a WU that won't upload, error in connecting with work server.

It's a 200 pointer and it would look nice next to my 2 600 pointers and others cranking away right now. Any solutions?

Is the network setup for this machine the same as the others? I've had occasional issues connecting and getting through, but it has always cleared within 5-10 minutes or so.

When an upload fails, the client keeps the results in your local queue and it will retry uploading at least every 6 hours. It will also try to get a new WU to process.

Check Stanford server status for specific server:

Thanks for the warm fuzzy. :O)

Just got off the phone, you will see some names that you don't recognize coming on in the next day or so.

The list of the "conquered" is pretty impressive!


Malsua said "Can't let em smell our exhaust":
Don't worry, I just wrote "AMF" on my WU...

I stole most of that tagline. :)

So far there have been 3-4 failed attempts while newer WU's have gone through. Settings are all identical, save machine ID.

It seems like Server 128 is down. Is that the one you try to connect to?

Sometimes rebooting, and restarting the client, will clear up some of the weird "estimates"....

I am SO stoked! I just moved up in the rankings 160597 places!!! WooHoo!!! LOLOLOLOL
Malsua: I just posted that as a joke, I knew it would go down in a bit, and it has. lol
I've got 6 friends on now, as well. I just hope they used the correct team #. They should, have put a GL in front of their names...except one named "smile", she forgot. She has a 9 year old in remission, had cancer and it was very bad. She is also recruiting for us.
The GL, btw, stands for GetLoaded...a trucking forum we all belong to.

Yeah, we goof on it all the time, especially when we wear a GL tee shirt as we go into the scalehouse...:O)

Hey GD, you got mail, I need your help, please.

Thanks

How do you get a tagline to stick, or do you have to put it in every time? I don't see any options in the profile settings pages.
