Well I've finally joined the ranks a little while back, hope my system is helping out somewhat...one thing though, how do they determine the score? I notice how I've passed some people in terms of score, while doing fewer WUs...so can anyone give me a little insight into the scoring system?

I noticed today though that Cpt. Awesome has been overtaken as the leading folder in the GATT squad...I wonder for how long would be the question.

Up to now I not even sure who Xel is? Has he been posting lately or posting under an alias?

Unless he stops altogether or unless I go nvidia, I wont be able to pass him in a hurry

xel naga has two accounts in our team
hmm

and this scoring system is a little confusing for real
cause i have almost double the WUs of the two people ahead of me

I've been using the GPU folding agent for a LONG time so my WU count is relatively low compared to my score. I started in the days of my X1900XT. I've been wondering who Xel is cause he is RACKING up PPDs like WHOA... Capn, watch yuhself I tell yuh the man was gunning for yuh XD. Also yall realize we hit the 7xx mark right? so YES SPK you folding IS helping!

the WU number isn't how they score, it depends on the size of the WU, small units have lower number of points associated with them the larger units have a crap load.

Oh yeah, it doesnt help that my gpu folding is a no go these days.

QUA? explain

Also... Neph...what you doing so to wrack up 5k+ PPD? your benchmarks show a 8800GT, but are you on a GTX260 now and/or what additional clients are you running?

Spazosaurus · « **Reply #368 on:** May 12, 2009, 07:48:27 PM »

I was getting an eue error core shutdown after a few mins of folding, sometimes immediately. (See page 17 or 18) but this morning I put on the gpu client again and lo and behold, its still folding happily without making any changes. Hopefully it stays working for the while.

88gt (BFG OC2). GPU client
q94 @ 3.2 . SMP client

and whenever the servers get rebooted that is some dual xeons in the mix.

and i've been using my lappy more than my desktop as of late so it on 100% all cores for all that time

i haven't been folding in the last 36 hours, my rigs giving a fked up bsod error and i can't figure it out for shit, happens everyday about an hour before i come home. no shit. it's like it timing meh. i can't afford my array getting fked so main rig out of commission till i bring up my 2nd rig end of this month.

WTF?

what kind of IDIOT orders a machine like that with a 32-bit OS?

Nephilim · « **Reply #372 on:** May 26, 2009, 07:01:37 AM »

the kinda that doh wanna lose wuk cuz he didn't stick to company specifications winny. hadda be...not even the crappiest of techs will put 32bit os on a machine like that.

Netizen1 · « **Reply #373 on:** May 26, 2009, 08:04:29 AM »

Nah, IT had nuthin to do with this order... the department retained some training program from foreign, and them was the machines they sent us. I would resign my post as Sys Admin if I was the one who recommended that to them.........

Gonna try to get the SMP service to run on these bad boys later today...

Update on my "new" workforce...

The GPU client, running as a service, caused a blue screen last night. Pressure!

Will try to get the SMP client running as a service.

Then I'll use W1nTry's suggestion and use Task Scheduler to start/stop service during off peak hours.

* Netizen1 goes back to the drawing board

W1nTry · « **Reply #376 on:** May 27, 2009, 10:19:44 AM »

If you're going to run it as a scheduled task I suggest NOT running the SMP client as it's very sensitive to starting and stopping.

ack!

So now what? Run 8 of the plain clients?

W1nTry · « **Reply #378 on:** May 27, 2009, 10:49:59 AM »

Yes you could, or alternatively run the SMP client but not at full throttle. Or schedule it to run for 3-4 days a week (none stop). But 8 single clients should still do nicely as even the basic client can process jobs with as high as 1200Pts.

Netizen1 · « **Reply #379 on:** June 25, 2009, 03:30:45 PM »

Yay me!!!

Wow, it took about 8 months to get that many points... according to one of the other stats sites I check, it'll take me almost a year to double this.

Hope I get some more cores online soon.
