FAAH Vina is by far the best. MCM is second. Close behind is UGM. FAAH-Autodock is probably the worst. CEP2 is highly system-dependent, mostly due to its enormous IO requirements.

I used to use FAAH because it was by far the best and produced noticeably better ppd. It must of been those vina wu's. I got off of FAAH because my ppd tanked, which is probably because I started getting those autodock ones.

Are FAAH vina wu's back?

I believe so--they seem to come in about equal numbers (very, very rough estimate, more of a guess) but the VINA ones are very fast (ie 35 minutes on my Sandy i7s) whereas the Autodock ones are much longer (4+ hours). So the very good PPD of the VINA ones are outweighed by the sub-par PPD of the Autodock ones.
Although I haven't run FAAH in a while--already at 62 years there and pursuing other badges ATM.

As a disclaimer, this is average for all computers running WCG projects, not just ours. As our machines are likely more performance oriented than an average machine, they may handle some heavier workloads better than others. As always, YMMV.
All measurements are in points per hour of runtime.
UGM: 167.75
MCM: 164.38
CEP2: 155.51
FAAH: 116.19

Here's the issue with this: FAAH has been out a looooong time. So it's mostly likely biased towards the oldest systems, whereas UGM is quite new and should have just been running on HW that is, on average, far faster. Personally, I'd put more confidence in the exact results from single systems. That's something that would be easy for me to calcultae--PPD averages per project from half a dozen or so of my computers. I can get pretty good variety in terms of HW & OS.

I agree completely.

Challenge results haven't updated from yesterday--I'll update this when they do

[Ion] · Oct 18, 2015

Numbers posted, and we are, of course, winning

Germany and China are right behind though, so let's keep it up!

Is there a new challenge going on or something?

TPU's Fall 2015 WCG Crunching Challenge- October 16th thru 23rd (join us!)

didn't see that one.

Any help you can bring would be awesome- Team China and SETI.Germany are coming in strong at 2nd and 3rd place!

[Ion] · Oct 20, 2015

Hah! Naturally we're Number One, as always

Not the most commanding of leads though--it'll come down to the very end, for sure

Svartifoss Waterfall, Iceland:

Awesome job guys--we're still solidly in #1!

imgur is being stupid so a nice picture to follow later if it figures things out.

[Ion] · Oct 23, 2015

Sorry about the (terribly spotty) coverage--been swamped with work and class the past couple days.
Anyways, the challenge ends tonight, and we're in a VERY solid position for it

Today's beautiful piece of nature:

@manofthem can you cover the challenge updates tonight? Going to be gone by then and with no internet access

I thought I had replied to this sooner, but apparently not. Yes sir I'll take care of whatever needs care

Does Team China always do that well? Don't remember them being that far up the charts.

Their PPD is up noticeably over the past two months--from the mid 5 million range to the ~7 million we're seeing now. But it's been reasonable consistent (+/- 10%) over the past month or so, I think.

I can not shake of the feeling that those photos come from Reddit (which is were I have seen some of them).

The nature pictures? Yes, many--probably even most--do
