Steps were harder.

Anyway, more PPD from me... these are most of my work clients, and as you can see some of them are turned off...



Update: Today is going to be a record for me, I will have earned over 3000 points in less than 24 hours!

2209/4000

And the other comp is taking its time over a 1500 framer... Only on like 800/1500 O.o

40% through this one. I completed that last one about 8 or 9 hours ago.

Damn you Aaron! I need a quad core! xP

2640

51% tum-te-tum ...

Show off....

2760

That work unit I was doing was a lot slower than the one before it, about 15 to 20 minutes per percent depending on what I was doing really. It was at 75% this morning.

Update: I continue to win.



Update: Why is there a picture of the F@H PS3 client on the "Why do we seek a second life?" article on MSN? http://tech.uk.msn.com/features/article ... id=7217170

Because they know folding is your Second life, Aaron!

2920/4000

:/ Loosing ground ALL the time XD Stupid powerful comps ¬¬

What's this DHR... turning folding into a competiton?

Technically it is due to the points system xP

3218...

FInally finished that 4000 framer...

240/2000 now... and the other comp is on 1185/1500

New unit 45/1500

My comp gays up when It finishes a WU, doesn't start the next properly.

I left my PC online while I was away from home and it hasn't updated my points yet, though it should have finished in about 17 hours. I get the feeling that it might have turned itself off again.

423/2000

:/ No idea atm what the big comp is on! XD

Got some good points for that last one.

180/1500 now

780/2000 on the lappy and...

75/1500 for the big comp.... XD

Only 360/1500 for me... Kinda slow this one.

I'm just going to say that I am folding on so many machines that it is useless to keep track of them. I just make sure they are online every morning and leave them to strut their stuff.
Edit: I'm not installing the application as a service, because there is a machine at work that actually suffers from running it - users have complained of poor performance. An application must be running on that system alongside F@H with a low priority process. I don't want to change this... proprietary software and all that. I've set a remote schedule so that it kicks in on that machine at 17:00 and ends the process at 08:30 the next day, only on weekdays, so it will also run all weekend.

860/2000 on here now... Big comp = unknown... But its done a unit that hasnt uploaded yet O.o

Ah, that's quite a good system, Aaron. maximum folding, minimum fuss, perfect use of idle time!

can some1 explain folding to me pls?

Folding: the way proteins work
Folding@home: A super-cluster network where each user spends spare cpu cycles (the unused processor calculations) to calculate how proteins fold and more importantly how they misfold (go wrong). It is set to the lowest priority application so everything else on the system is programmed to take more priority over cpu so no system performance issues will be noticed when using it.
Computers download work units, and then works on how the protein should behave. When the unit is complete it sends back to the Folding@home servers.
This information is then used in research into proteins and ways to detect/cure diseases.

For more information: http://folding.stanford.edu

ok, wtf does tht mean then

Simply put folding is an application you install and runs in the background of your computer, not using any power you need (only uses idle power). It receives work (Work Units - WU) from the server, does them (basically whatever calculations need to be done) and then sends back the results. Each WU is assigned a point value based on it's difficulty, and these contribute to user and team stats on the FAH website. This encourages friendly competition, which means they get more people folding.

So basically, it uses waste computer power to cure cancer. Win.
