Our team's climb up...
Hello SPRC Folds:
We are currently in the #42 spot (or #41, depending on which stats you look at) in the overall list of Folding@Home teams, which is great! My quick guesstimate at this point is that we could climb as high as 27th or 28th; based on our current weekly production. Let's keep it up -- and then some!
C'mon folks -- you who have already contributed in the past, please keep going. There are about 93 active members (out of 147) and if we could get about 12-15 more machines producing, we could stay ahead of Slo-Tech! If ALL our current members actively folded, then we could probably get to the low 20's...
It would be even better to get more NEW members! It doesn't matter all that much about the speed of your machine(s), but what really DOES matter is that you keep on folding, day in and day out. I hope that we can get from 93 active to -- who knows, HALF of all the members of this forum?! Say, 500 active members? Please?

mine is RAM limited
Hello:
My third machine a "just" an Athlon 700 Classic -- no oc'ing is possible on the OEM (IBM) motherboard. I'm really pleased to be pushing out <1000 points in a week with ~4.65gHz of Athlon CPU's!
On another topic, does anybody know how to do a LAN boot in Linux? My SusSE Pro supports this, but like a lot of things in Linux, I'd need a lot of guidance to get it working...
Yeah, my two machines are likely limited by the RAM I'm using -- it's "only" PC2100 CL2 and I only paid $30 for each 256MB stick... So, I'm happy with a 15% oc and I'm still running the *tightest* possible timings, too.Zhentar wrote:and haha neil, my 2100+ tbred b is at 2.1ghz! the cool part though is thats 200mhz FSB.....

Re: I'm YELLOW! :-)
Actually I got 7 folding, but 4 of em are so slow it's never counting them all together. (up to 9 days for a WU ).NeilBlanchard wrote:My two fast and one slow(er) machines are keeping me nipping at Wrah's heels...and he's got FIVE machines!
The other 97% of my production is being done by 5.06 Ghz total, so not that much more then you.
I recently bought a barton 2800+, and just that one machine has doubled my production.. I had it turned off the whole day last sunday, and look at my graph.. that dip was sunday.

The p910 WU is a *sweet* one!
Hello:
It also helps to get sweet work units! I've gotten five of the p910_vill_str0_rf units -- and these are 57 points and they complete (on my machines) in around 12 hours! Wow. Some 47 point units take over 20 hours, and some 53.3 point units about 21 hours...
Those p910 units bumped my average daily points from ~135 up to 175 or so, and basically took me into the "yellow" zone! I was peaking at ~950 points/ week and jumped up to ~1100/wk. So, I hope all the SPRC team gets a lot of the p910 units!

ooo, i hate you, you beat me too it!NeilBlanchard wrote:Hey, I don't know if anybody would notice but

i'm not sure how long i'm going to stay yellow, so might as well celebrate while i can. i got me three of those p910's and churned through all of them in one day
i've got a p4 2g running 24/7, and a handful of celery/duron at 700-something churning 8am to 10pm every day (hijacked the computers at the university library ) so that's about 5-something ghz... wow.
After I figured out what you guys meant by the yellow zone (thanks to Wrah's link) I found myself there too but sadly I slipped back into the green zone after 1 hour

Time to assimilate more machines into the effort...

We made 40
Seems we made 40th! (Although OC Australia have vanished from 2nd so this could be a stats error!!)
Although todays stats have got me puzzled. My boxen have finished 57, 38, 33 & 57 pointers. The stats pages show me returning 2 units for 58.8 points, and another for 57. Seems there has been several problems @ Stanford, hopefully it will come right.
pps - now [H] has vanished and we are up to 39!! At this rate we will either be in the top 10 by morning or else we will vanish as well

Congrats
Hello:
We could also use more single CPU contributions -- all the "gray" folks need to keep on foldin'!

Well, I'm pleased to be yellow, but unpleased that most of my boxen seem to have gotten Tinkers recently (~24 hours for a lousy 20 points). AND, MikeC took over my position in the team roster. Watch out, Mike, I expect to put a couple of new lab boxen on-line in the next few weeks so rest easy for now but be prepared for my nipping at your heels.
Overall, SPCR is slowly rising. I'm looking forward to a metoric rise with Zhentar's farm on-line (with vibes of encouragement in hir general direction).

tragus, you're welcome to take your spot back any time. Any time that you can catch me that is I usually have 5 machines on the go. A P3-1.1 Tualatin, an XP2000, 2 P4-2.53 & a P4-2.8. No tweaking whatsoever, just slap the win utility in place & keep all the systems on. AS long as I am not testing or publishing, they're folding. I have no idea why I should be so high on the list, maybe it's just because they're always on.
PS -- all the PSUs are APFC (I'm green too... )
