1961 vintage here and probably suffering from some hearing loss. I'm too much in denial to go get it checked. I definitely attribute the hearing issues to the finest rock and roll acts of the 1970s and early 1980s. I couldn't hear at all for two days after seeing Boston. Van Halen, Kiss, Queen, Jour...

Thanks, Pete! It kinda snuck up on me. A couple of big-point weeks in a row and all of a sudden there was another digit in EM-III yesterday! Lots of faster folks coming up behind me, though. I think I've peaked in SPCR ranking and I'm just going to get pushed down the ladder if I don't build a foldi...

Persistence pays! SPCR now has 22 members of the "100000+ Club." All it took was replacing the hard drive on my dead XP2400+ machine and loading Linux on it. Tonight I re-borged my ex-wife's PC, too. She hosed it (again) and she never seems to bother to load F@H on it. Maybe if I actually told her I...

Cool photos, chylld. I've never seen that done before. From a science/mechanical point of view, that's not a good place and orientation for the radiator, though. If you put the radiator at the top of your cooling loop, especially with the barbs facing downward, then the radiator becomes a trap for a...

I took the 5 oldest weeks of PPW data on the EOC stats and averaged it for an "old" PPW number, and I used the 4/25/04 week as a "new" PPW number. Here's what I found for SPCR overall, the people who have posted heren and a few other "folders of interest." (Sorry shens/isp, not enough data to figure...

My PPD is all over the place, so I went by PPW, which is a bit more stable for me. The point change happened in the middle of an EOC stats week, so I ignored that week. The 5 weeks before that averaged about 2200 PPW. The one full week after the change is about 2700. This week seems to be on track f...

The Making Of A Folding Fanatic
I remembered seeing our beloved moderator's posts as he was taking his first folding steps, so I thought I'd dig around for a bit and see if I could trace his descent into Folding Fanaticism. Appropriately it was Halloween 2003 when David (haysdb) joined the SPCR folding effort. Almost immediately h...

If the computer is on 24/7, but the user logs off when not working, that would severely limit the CPU time for F@H.
Ahhh. But if it's logged in and running the console client 24/7, then it's probably doing as much as it can now?

38000 ns / 0.30 ns = 126666.67 If we're assuming that the proteins are equivalent in computational difficulty per unit of time, then that's the ratio of work between the VAX and the 5000 machine F@H cluster. Since the VAX took 50 days to complete its protein, 126666.67 X 50 = 6333333.50 days is how ...
