so, default overtook us in today's points. how come? i mean is there any way to find out how many users in default?

 

 

 

Almost 900 active as of a few hours ago.

Managed 578th place off my i5-9600k and a 2060. I'll take it. Time for a break now and to put my OC back.

Folding @ Home Finished 133rd Place 

Was Setup as Family Project 

The Rogers Family Folding Rigs,

- Asus ROG Strix III Laptop i7-9750h w/ 1660ti (my machine)

- Desktop amd fx-8350 w/ Tesla M2090 & Tesla M2070 (Used for SETI)

-Server Dell PowerEdge T310 (Home network server)

- Desktop Mining Rig w/ 3x RX580 , 1x RX570 , 1x R9 390x (Dusted off for this event)

-Desktop I5 7700K w/ RX480 (Trenton's machine , Nephew #1)

-Desktop Ryzen 5 w/ RX 580 8GB (Brothers machine)

-Laptop i5 w/ 1gb nividia card (Adien's machine , Little nephews #2)

My nephews had a great time setting it up, monitoring and checking the points everyday, thanks for the event as it provided some much need distraction during this ongoing stay at home time and any potential prizes will go to them for their help with the event

No, at least, not for us. It would be like trying to figure out how many GPU's or clients someone who's folding via cloud services has. The F@H team probably could tell you how many devices are currently actively requesting and folding WU's. I'd imagine the number is pretty high, as these are likely users who either do not have purpose built gaming PC's, did not fully register a passkey, or either did not understand or do not care about teams and individual stats.

The log files from the FAH folder has it all in, could use that no?

That is client local, we can't because FAH stats server does not provide that information. The only information in the data files is 'folding name, total score, total WUs, team' so as you can see very limited.

59, not bad... surprised I'm in front of @cbigfoot with the noise he was making

I shut down everything last night, and now this morning I figured I'd let my 2080S do a WU or 2... and it won't pick any, even in advanced 

 

....ah there we go just as I write this of course 

well i didnt get my 2060 till April 3rd and my 5700xt till Mar 29 so and My specs where

 

CPU

First few days a i7-6700k - "testing" for a friend till he picked it up

2x r5-2600 (one didnt start till the 6700k was picked up)

R7-1700

R9-3900x

R7-2700u (due to the low power nature tried cpu+GPU Cpu only and gpu only they where all about the same so did cpu only) 

R7-3700u (due to the low power nature tried cpu+GPU Cpu only and gpu only they where all about the same so did cpu only)

Intel i7-8705 (due to thermal throtteling only folded with gpu after day 2)

 

GPU

-Whole time

Rx580

Rx580OC (running at 50 mhz below factory oc)

Intel i7-8705

 

-Part time

5700xt OC XFX - full time since Mar-29

2060 Asus - Full time since April-3

R7-350x - part time as bounced from desktop to desktop just because crappy ppd/w thou

 

- Cards that commited suicide in the name of science

Radeon 6950 - KAMIKAZE Day 1 - Memory disection showed dried up pads that acted more like insulation than a transfer material...oops

r5-240 - KAMIKAZE Day 2 - little smoke...not sure where it came from didnt care tossed it

2nd R5-240 KAMIKAZE Day 3 - lotta smoke...not sure where it came from didnt care tossed it

 

Next event i should have a 2nd 2060 for bender and Flexo an a8-3800folding with my 580OC gpu only thou...

I'd have to listen to the fireside chat zoom meeting again but it's actually difficult for them to tell exactly. When you install the client it generates a new client ID that is sent with completed WU and they noticed a lot of those client IDs changing when they pretty much knew it was the same person so they couldn't use that to tally total active people or computers.

 

There was something like a million unique IP addresses but a lot of people tie back to multiple different IPs so can't use that either.

 

The best they could get to was to total the number of hours of work competed in an hour which came to something like 470,000 hours per hour. The big thing is they know there was/is a lot of idle clients not able to get WUs so estimated to be around double or triple what it is potentially. Currently every hour 85,000 WUs are handed out and returned with a current projected capability of 200,000 but the bottleneck is actually humans, to generate the start points for the simulations, so servers is not the issue, not really anyway.

But competitors could hand them in no?

[Mope El Two]

Well, now I qualify as an Event Newbie (not, stupid brain), and I am requesting that badge, please.  After giving my rig a rest I'll get to some more folding, and maybe another badge.

How and to where? Like for a lot of people they have multiple systems or they change hardware configurations during the event so FAH needs to handle that not us.

I was surprised, the 2060m was averaging higher points per wu than the 5700xt.. 

I would see ~87k jobs on the 5700xt while the 2060 would consistently get 150k..I'll have to look into that..

I believe that is because any wu's with over 2 million atoms are disabled on AMD gpus until fixed as they had an issue where they could never finish the wu.

Hey @GOTSpectrum out of curiosity, you wouldn't happen to have a day 13 sheet floating around would you?

I will be releasing the full data sheet in the award ceremony With the stupid mistakes and terrible formulas removed in a slightly altered read only format.

I'll look at puttung something togeather that people can submit the files to a Username and it will check them all

Thank you @GOTSpectrum for an amazing event. This is my first, but I'll remember to check for new ones in the future! Maybe then I'll stick to a 100% homegrown farm. Eh. folding farm.

The next Folding event will be June, but the BOINC Pentathlon will be 4 weeks or so,  @Ithanul is the BOINC Team leader so I am sure she will be talking about it soon, if not I may take the curtesy of signing us up just in case she isn't available.

This is what happens when I post while battling a migraine.  Not the first time my brain didn't remember to register something recently; stupid brain.

I should take a break until the meds and the coffee set in.

[GOTSpectrum]

Well guys, 

 

I took five hours off to have a power nap and read a little of my book, but I'm here!

 

Will be working on the sheet shortly, getting her all trim and tidy ready for the whole world to see her in all her bare glory!

Unless it comes from FAH through their official stats it won't get used, without verification and authenticity of the information it can't be used. FAH does not allow script access to any of their stats pages and API/APPs pages and they will blacklist you if they detect it. The only officially supported way to get information from FAH is those data files which only has in it what I outlined so that is all we can use. 

[enterflux]

I know it's not much comparatively, but I made it! My poor XPS 15 deserves a break after the sprint I just put it through.

You can get JSON data from the Stanford servers too I believe

That JSON file is just the projects summary list, not really useful for us.
