Hey guys are there any stats over at Stanford on types of cpu's and gpu's that are folding for each team?
Reason for asking is that it exist for WCG.

this is all i know of but it doesn't list cpu type etc.. http://fah-web.stanford.edu/cgi-bin/main.py?qtype=osstats

They are ramping up some more support from NCIX over at Canuckland.....So let's keep it up.

Here's the pics of my mess from yesterday and today setting up to fold.

Sorry for low quality only had my cell phone :-/

Yes I'm too cheap to get a droid... However it's on my list I just don't have too much use for it. Or maybe rather don't want to have the use for it...

The laptops are a i3 2.66, core2 2.13 and core2 2.13, the towers are-
4x i3 @ 3.1ghz, 1x i3 @ 4.2ghz, 3x i5 @ 3.4ghz, 1x i3 @ 2.93ghz, 1x i7 @ 3.7ghz

Then there is-
1x GTS450, 2x GT430, 1x HD5770

Thanks but not exactly what I had in mind.

I was looking for something like this http://boincstats.com/stats/host_cpu_stats.php?pr=wcg&st=0

Nice folding farm you got there Niko084

that would be nice to see if fah did something like that. boinc has some nice tools interface etc, but i did it for a short while until i found one of the issues i was crunching for actually sold the research to a private company for money, and I went back to fah.

 

[niko084]

Research has to be done in order for our computers to get the work load in the first place, someone has to fund it down the line. However that could just as easily happen to F@H, Stanford is not a non-profit in their own respect. But I'm willing to bet research is and always has been purchased from schools for "donations", may even still be kept public domain to look good. Still need the money to actually be able to utilize the information commercially.

I figure we just speed up the process and I'm okay with that, faster better stuff comes out, faster commercial gain will fall, because the old tech always turns into the cheap tech.

 

[isowizard12]

I agree niko but the project was canceled as they sold the research for about 20 million dollars to a PHARMACUTICAL company so they was not funding the research with that sale, but that is just one bad apple. there is many great wcg crunching projects.

 

[niko084]

Aw, couldn't find anything on it but wow, that's a little more than you would expect I think.

 

[hertz9753]

This is how long it took to hit 20 million last year.

I put a GTX 460 and an Antec TP 750 into an emachines ET1161-05 tonight.

 

[johnspack]

Wow, brave, in an e-machine?

The hardest part was all the vista upates. It hasn't seen use since last May when I turned it off after the last CC. PPD are 10,800 with a 6801. My bad, I completly forgot about this in my amp limited basement.

Dumping -bigadv #1 of 4 today and switching over to SMP on same rig. Let's give em' hell boy's!

Dumping -bigadv #1 of 4 today and switching over to SMP on same rig. Let's give em' hell boy's!

For those using GPU Tracker V2 that want to switch from -bigadv to SMP, do the following -

Before the current -bigadv ends, go to Setup >> Configure and on the Tracker Settings tab place a check in the Oneunit Mode box for CPU/SMP, hit Apply >> Close
(This will stop the client when it finishes the current WU)

When the client finishes the current -bigadv WU and uploads the results then go to Setup >> Configure and remove the check you made in the Oneunit box above, also on the Client settings tab for SMP Settings remove the check in the box for Enable bigadv, hit Apply >> Close

Then restart the CPU client

 

[hertz9753]

I have 2 -bigadv uploading on Saturday.

Just brought the HTPC online for another 6.5K PPD. God Bless AMD for unlocked cores!

Just took some pics of the emachine. AMD Lima in the house!(not folding, support mission only)

That PSU looks like an Octopus attacking that rig. I will admit, I've never seen a GTX460 in a e-machine before.

 

[Feänor]

We're just ten points behind first place! Keep folding hard!

just two seconds ago threw up an additional I7@4.2GHZ and a 4870 that add to the 4 other C2D's that I have going...A lil here and a lil there can make a world of difference.
EDIT: Damn make that added to the other 3 C2D's looks like one of my off sites fell off and I have no way to make contact till Monday..

DRDNA, you are running SMP only, correct?

 

[DRDNA]

yes
