World Cancer Day 2015 Fold the crap out this week!

[Sauron]

That's all you gotta do! And points per day is your "folding points", the better the hardware, the more PPD usually.

 

All right then the value of PPD keeps increasing though, is that normal?

 

make sure you have set the passkey for once you have 10 cpu wu's completed you will get with every cpu wu bonus points.

Thanks, I had missed that!

It takes 2-3 days to normalize, don't worry about it too much, and just think you're adding flops to a good cause

Sorry for spamming your inbox ^^ but I have one last question: my GPU has an ETA of 10 hours, does that mean it has a longer WU than my cpu or is something amiss? (my specs are in my profile btw)

I'm on here to help, don't worry about it. Work is slow anyway.

To answer: I'm not positive, so don't hold me to this, but I BELIEVE it runs more intensive simulations on GPU, to take advantage of all them cores.

 

I wouldn't worry about the ETA at all, only worry if you're actually having problems.

This is correct

 

Even if you look at the file sizes in the log, it shows GPU work units are ~4MB and the CPU WUs are ~500KB IIRC (and yes I know that isn't really an accurate way to measure them, but it's at least some indication of how much data is there to be crunched)

World Cancer Day..........

 

hmm

[nkfw]

ok, here we go paying high electric bills for a good cause!  B)

[railfan]

changing to cancer preference, lets set a record!

All of you guys are awesome for donating so much extra computing power, this week especially   It is very admirable. <3

In 5 days I got to rank 604 in LTT and top 4% worldwide on a single gpu and a consumer core i7  :blink:

 

 

by the way is it normal for my R9 290 to fold on core 17 or...?

Well, folding is pretty much restricted to consumer hardware, they are

targeting the mainstream, or whatever platform they think will yield the

most return. And yes, core 17 is fairly common.

Don't fold all the time since heat... But, when I do on my Dell, I have to watch the motherboard temps.. I may have accidentally hit 75C one.

 

And sometimes my light dims with both computers under full load... And the CPU fan on this dell hits 100% at 5000RPM every now and again for no reason whatsoever.

 

Edit: The Dell averages 16K PPD... Not a lot, but just saying this since I took the screenshot while it was still getting one of the WUs ready.

Meanwhile, I dont get 1K PPD

[Manny Calavera]

if i wanted to fold, my celeron M would get cancer

[Godlygamer23]

My 660 Ti already overclocks 24/7.

[Imakuni]

Hey! I'm exactly at spot 250. Yummy.

 

Dem 970 really coughs up the PPDs....
