Congrats on triple digits... as to how i've managed to stay ahead by the narrowest of margins... well I have my ways... shame I could have really been pumping out more units and given him some real headaches... but circumstances have disallowed me that luxury... either way its really is a matter of time, its alot of effort to stay in the lead and I guess it wouldn't hurt to hand over the reigns to some young 'blood' (pun intended). Time will tell...

hey iam not second to last in points anymore w00t

wtf is with them increasing the frames to 5000?? omg!

W1nTry · « **Reply #87 on:** September 06, 2007, 01:55:05 PM »

I think its more of an automatic thing, cause I have seen as low as 1500 and as high as 25000... when you can't relaibly finish WUs it will automatically downgrade the WU size. However once you sucessfully complete more and more units, the size may increase. My GPU get 25000 sized units (note this is in the thousands so its actually 25mil) whilst my CPU receives on avg 2500-5000 sized units.

Ah well, didn't last the night...

But I am sure you'll take it again during the day since I fold mainly at night which limits me.

everytime i find a good match in COD3 it disconects me with about 10 mins left

W1nTry · « **Reply #94 on:** September 07, 2007, 02:06:02 PM »

I honestly prefer COD2 on Live to COD3 on live, COD3 is faster and more hectic... a lil too fast for me on a controller... on a PC sure... controller... errr... either way meh 2nd 360 RROD so PC ftw... oh btw Blood... congrats on making it to #1 folder at GATT... for a few hrs anys. We'll see how you fair over the next few days since i've got some new tricks up my sleeve

PS3s boost Folding@home to a petaflop

Claims to advance medical research by 10 years

SONY ANNOUNCED today that PS3 gamers lending spare Cell processor CPU cycles to the Folding@home project have boosted it past the petaflop mark.

The Folding@home project is a distributed network of volunteer computer users who donate their idle CPU cycles to perform complex protein folding calculations. It's run by Stanford University and, according to its boffins, Folding@home works in support of cutting edge medical research aimed at gaining better understandings of diseases such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and some forms of cancer.

Until recently the Folding@home project had only about 200,000 PC users worldwide who together delivered about 250 teraflops of computing power. With Sony making it easy for PS3 console users to participate too, nearly 600,000 PS3 gamers have contributed significantly more processing power, lifting Folding@home's aggregate compute strength above one petaflop for the first time.

A "flop" is shorthand for one floating-point calculation per second. A megaflop is a million of those, a gigaflop 1,000 megaflops, a teraflop 1,000 gigaflops, and a petaflop 1,000 teraflops, or one quadrillion calculations per second.

The Folding@home project leader, Vijay Pande, Associate Professor of Chemistry at Stanford, said "Thanks to PS3, we are now essentially able to fast-forward several aspects of our research by a decade, which will greatly help us make more discoveries and advancements in our studies of several different diseases. "
