    mklinger --- 4 Million Points! Congrats! Party Time!

    Thanks guys! If anyone is ever in the SE Michigan area (Ann Arbor specifically), I may take you up on the party time offer! Cold beers are always in the fridge...

    mklinger in rearview mirror!

    Thanks Celerator! It's been a long run to get into the NSZ. Of course, if you look at the future production, in about 2 weeks I'll get bumped by WRat and have to wait another couple weeks to get back into the top 20. I need those cheap 45nm Quads to become available to I can upgrade my...

    Hit a Folding (Stanford) milestone? Post it here:

    Thanks! Yeah, I just found a couple nice machines at work I was able to Borg to add to the farm... you better ramp up soon :)

    Back when I started DC'ing

    Yeah, I remember the days of Genome@Home. Lots of fun putting together a massive dump from 10-20 machines that had been cranking for a week straight :) Now, just buy or borg a few quads, run the SMP client and you're good to go. Not that there's anything wrong with that... I'm doing both...

    I know someone wants this for their farm....

    I don't know either, but if they consume 40W each, that'd be a 3840W draw and at $0.10/kWh, that'd be $9.22 a day or $276 a month in electricity. It wouldn't take long to buy a few C2D setups or Quad cores with that kind of outlay and be ahead in the long run. I've recently shut down all my...

    I know someone wants this for their farm....

    Well, not exactly. It would have to run the standard client (too slow for SMP), so it'd only crank out about 3000 PPD (76.8/2.8*110). A single quad core or two C2D setups would easily beat this in production and could be built for < $1000. It would probably cost hundreds of $$ per month to...

    Windows SMP frame times....post them here.

    E6700 C2D @ 3.4 GHz P2651 (1760) @ 12:28/f = 2033 PPD (598 PPDpGHz) BTW, this same machine gets 11:37/f on the 1760 WU running the SMP client in VMware for 2182 PPD so it's pretty close...

    SMP Folding + Gpu Client

    It's more like the other way around, the SMP client kills the GPU performance. I've found that GPU + SMP is only worth it when the SMP client isn't crunching on the 1760 pt WUs. The 1760 pt WUs take 95+% of the total available CPU which doesn't leave enough for effective GPU folding. The...

    Is there a folding client for this???

    Yep, the Commodore 64 was a very cool computer for the time. I had one of those as well. And then the natural progression to the Amiga 1000 which was mind blowing in terms of being ahead of its time technology wise. I really enjoy firing up some of the computer emulators to explore those...

    Is there a folding client for this???

    No doubt! Lots of memories. It's serial #004266 of at least 50,000 that were made. That's probably $2000-$2500 of 1979 dollar goodness sitting there. Those floppies were close to $500 each and held 88KB. You could use a hole punch and make them double sided though :) I remember...

    suggestions to squeeze maximum points

    I agree with mwarps. If you feel like pushing the limits, you can run the SMP Linux client in VMware on that machine and get your current monthly output in less than 4 days. My 3.4 GHz E6700 running just the VMware client at this instant is churning out 2191 PPD :eek: while working on a 1760...

    Is there a folding client for this???

    BTW, as crazy as 22 million times faster sounds, it's really only a 75.8% speed increase every year for 30 years which is certainly within the realm of possibility! If only my 401k would increase at 75.8% annually :) (especially in light of the market sell-off today)

    Is there a folding client for this???

    I've been working on resurrecting my first childhood computer. This beast is almost 30 years old and I spent many long hours typing in and programming BASIC on this machine. Lots of good memories. For grins, I wanted to calculate what kind of folding performance it would have. It's hard...

    Is there any AGP Vid cards that I can fold on?

    If you're going to spend new money, anything less than a X1950Pro probably isn't worth the money spent and you'd be better off putting that money toward a new C2D machine to run the SMP client. I'm running an AGP X1950Pro coupled with a 3 GHz P4 which churns out a nice ~575 PPD at stock...
