Folding Pie and Milestones!!

El Fiendo · Dec 10, 2009

Om nom nom.

I've managed to sneak in and swipe Bogi's pie, though I'm not sure how much I'll be able to do it. Apparently he too has a -bigadv WU that will be handed in within hours. The two of us may trade blows for second now and again, but it sounds like I'll have to be lucky and catch him when he's not paying attention.

As for the team, there is now have only 1 more -bigadv producer on HWC's side, which should help nullify the their advances on us. If I get the chance to build another rig, it'll be another i7 that runs these WUs. I'll let my Phenom II crunch WCG though, just to even it out.

Also, we might not need to run our VM clients soon, as Stanford is rumbling about the SMP2 client release. It would handle both the current cores (A1, A2), but also a new A3 core. They don't mention a set date, but I'm hoping it could be weeks. Everyone running VMs would technically see an increase as they'd no longer need the extra overhead of the VM clients. For that matter, they also mentioned the GPU3 client. The info should be up on the Folding Blog for anyone that's interested.

Pie!

2009-12-09| sam0t |50,000

3 milestones occur tonight starting with sam0t, who conquers 50k tonight. He'll continue to work upwards until he snags his folding badge in not too long, and likely upwards from there. In time, he'll reach the 1 million points that Darkrealms posts up tonight. Darkrealms has gained entrance into the F@Hmillionaire club, and also earns himself an upgraded folding badge. The last milestone, is only being mentioned because I probably have some contractual obligation to post it up. Past that it shall not receive mention. Good work all! :toast:

I take a nap and see that El Fiendo's -bigadv WUs gave him the 2nd spot and then this morning I see bogmali has done the same to take the top spot. :toast:

Can't wait to see how this turns out tonight!
Congratulations El Fiendo on the 7,000,000. :toast:

El Fiendo · Dec 11, 2009

Urk, and I fall from my position of almost power to 6th place. I'm not certain if Bogmali completed his -bigadv WU or not, the one large update he has also has a large WU total beside it. Hopefully he got it off and up to Stanford alright.

As for news of the team, it seems that we're destined to trade blows with HWC for the next while, as they come close to surpassing us today. More often than not, we come out ahead still so we should be fine overall in terms of an overtake. At the same time, we continue our advance on Brazil, still set to invade and conquer in around 2.5 weeks.

I still have a hard time believing how far we've come in just a few months. You guys rule. :rockout:

Pie!

With 4 people vying for the spotlight tonight we seem to have ourselves a full house. First off we have Maikel205 earning his 100k and on top of that, access to his folding badge. Following just on his heels is BundyR, who snags 250k, a step just above 100k. Both of these members now look towards the future and the inevitable 500k milestone, the halfway point to 1 million. Hat claims the 500k milestone for himself tonight, and now faces the grueling task of making it to 1 million. Though our last team member earning a milestone tonight now has 3 million points to his name, which is a true show of force. As Dusty finishes flexing his muscles tonight, he sets down on the path to 4 million and a new folding badge. Good luck and good folding to all our milestone winners tonight.

Congrats to all!

I'm getting close to my 20k

Once I get a new PSU, I can get my 9800 up and folding too. Still have another PCIeX slot to fill though.... Might try and dig out my old 6800XT...would that even work?

dhoshaw · Dec 11, 2009

One gpu of my main 9800GX2 has been throwing EUE's the last couple of days. :wtf:

Temps look fine and I've even downclocked the shaders; I'll have to spend some time to figure out how to get it folding again. Meanwhile, I'm down about 5k in PPD. :twitch:

No it won't. Only 8*** series and above. ATI HD2xxx and greater.

I may possibly get another GTX285 if I upgrade my monitor soon. That would make a nice folding rig.

So you'll be at ~16k PPD until you have a new mobo?

should be someplace around there. Just setting up the rig right now. I got a new mobo for the P4 that has 2 PCI-e X16 slots(intel 915 :laugh:

) that should get my other card up and running.

El Fiendo · Dec 12, 2009

Another day passes with relative calm and ease, which is a victory in my books. Half the time I expect to come home and see my rigs in various states of destruction or combustion, so I'm usually pretty happy when it doesn't happen. Doing a quick scan of the team's status leads me to believe a similar status across the board, save for a few RMA's some guys are facing.

On top of that, it's nice to have a breather from the pressure HWC was inflicting just weeks before. We're still staying in front of them with relative ease, but we've encountered our Cold War phase with HWC. Both teams are suspicious of the other increasing their arsenal, and are thus increasing our own respective arsenals. Likely our rigs have the power to destroy the world a hundred times over already. Or at least mine do, I don't know how you guys prefer to build your rigs. It usually helps in the acquisition of pie.

Pie!

Tonight starts with Nosada posting up 250k and Duxx posting 100k, which in turn leads him to his folding badge. One of the things I like the most about the badge is its direct link to stats, which I've used quite a bit since it was brought in. On top of that, there is always something nice about showing your accomplishments. Both our members tonight now face the next badge upgrade of 1 million folding points, and set off towards their next milestones. Good luck reaching 1 million guys, we'll be preparing a millionaire soirée for you when you arrive.

Congratulations on the milestones everyone!

El Fiendo · Dec 13, 2009

We're running a bit late on the update, but its still nice and fresh from the oven. Morning pie suits me fine, especially seeming I was able to grab 3rd place pie last night. Unfortunately Bogmali still whupped me with all out brute force.

As a team, we pushed our way up to 947k last night which is a truly awesome number. We greatly surpassed our closest competition with that number, its now just a matter of keeping that production level up. I'm already at 34% on this next -bigadv WU, and if I could coax any more speed out of her I would. Until I find some other way to milk PPD from her circuits, I suppose I'm tapped out. Perhaps I'll turn to black magic, I hear that's pretty promising in terms of a PPD boost.

Pie!

Today we have 3 members posting up milestones, and a whole lot of progress towards other milestones too. It all started when CarolinaKSU turned in his 10000th point, and posted up his first milestone within 2 days of joining (read: :toast:

). Crazyeyesreaper wasn't too far behind him and put down his 50k milestone, and is now looking to double that for his folding badge. And to finally claim his own badge tonight, angelkiller puts down his 100000th point. Very nice work to all earning their milestones tonight, and excellent work to all in general. We're closing in on the top ranks as fast as we can move this boat, and we're already prepping the torpedoes for those ahead of us. Fold on everyone!

El Fiendo · Dec 14, 2009

It would appear HWC has 4 members handing in -bigadv WUs, and not just three. Two of those previously mentioned members have also turned in WUs tonight. As such they surge up to 924k points and surpass us tonight by 100k. They seem to have some people who were idle come to life recently too, so they could be giving us more trouble than expected. We're still showing as having a 30k PPD lead on them and 3.2 million in points buffer, so we're definitely not behind the eight ball. We'll just have to play it by ear and see if they do rear up again.

Our Folding / WCG contest has come to an end, and we're now waiting on a declaration of the winner. Once we have a name, all the items will be shipped off to our winner to be gleefully built. Hopefully whatever debauchery the winner can think up will be covered and then some by this rig, and that they'll get some good use out of it. Who knows, it might even help bring a new name to the top 10.

Pie!

2009-12-13 |TheLaughingMan| 80,000

And tonight DanTheBanjoman posts up the sole milestone as he crosses 500k. If I'm not mistaken his file server spends its days folding away for TPU, silently earning its way up the TPU ranks. It would appear Dan is TPU's F@H ninja, slaying work units when they least expect it and therefore demoralizing their ranks. As he stands triumphantly over this 500k milestone, I imagine he's got a malicious grin for the WUs he's going to brutalize on the way to 1 million. Not having a ninja emote, I'm just going to type :ninja:, and ask you all to envision its something cool looking.

El Fiendo · Dec 15, 2009

Tonight skips major action and simply leaves us a touch behind our competition in daily production. Any day of non-action is far better than any day where we're being chased down in points, for sanity's sake as well as 'not being overtaken'. I don't know about anyone else, but it seems things fail more when you can't afford to have them fail. Or perhaps I'm just paranoid when it comes to my computers, and it actually isn't all that bad. Though I have no doubt we'll yet again see a team rushing up behind us that causes concern, I wouldn't mind if there's a fair amount of time between now and then.

The one nice thing I noticed, is that while our numbers saw a dip 2 weeks before the contest closed, we have not yet experienced the production loss that HWC did when their contest came to a close. Thanks guys, I'm glad to see so many stay here after the contest and continue folding in TPU's name. :toast:

We'd almost went without milestones last night, however, roast claims the teams sole milestone as he turns in his 25000th point. Roast will continue climbing the ranks and at his current pace will likely earn his folding badge in just over 1 months time. Meanwhile, I've spotted the shadow of thebluebumblebee as he circles 2 million and prepares to make a final grab for his milestone. In a few days we'll have ourselves another F@H multimillionaire.

roast · Dec 15, 2009

Yay!

Thanks for the milestone.
That new power supply should be arriving at xmas for me, so theres going to be a 9800gt folding for me too. I have a 1800pointer coming in later today from my CPU, so that might bump me up a little more.
