Apple set to overtake LTT in 2.3 weeks

[iruixos]

Uh oh Guys, get those computers folding! If you have any spare PCs lying around, make them fold too!

 

[Morpheus]

who's number 1?

[Wferr]

When did the real apple start folding?

I imagine they have a room filled with hundreds of mac minis  :lol: that would be funny if it was true.

[Hazy125]

Hard[OC] or something like that

I can see it being something they would do.. or a ton of modified iphones all working away.

Wouldn't it be easier to just wire up specialised processors to a custom mobo? Idk even on USB 3.0 sticks? Why use whole phone/tablet/laptop? It's stupid and a waste of energy.

[RankUpGamers]

THey fold on your iphone while you look away, that's why the battery life sucks!

[Mentalguy]

there is one guy on that team that has access to a lot of computers. He puts out twice the ppd of our entire team.

yeah, that's basically a one man team with him doing almost 7,5 mil ppd http://folding.extremeoverclocking.com/team_summary.php?s=&t=1991

 

EDIT: this is what he's folding on apparently, all mac folding farm

Half the hardware I have access to is Mid 2010 Mac Pros 2 x 2.66 GHz 6-Core Intel Xeons.

The other half are Early 2009 Quad Cores.

Almost 400 boxes that are not always in use - unless I use them.

I am hoping to deploy some of those new Mac Pros this fall. The speed, the Thunderbolts are going to be necessary for resources needed.

Just don't think I'll see more than a dozen for a few years.

[warmon6]

Yep, this is what he was running when i looked him up back in july.

(link to the part of the thread that got this started) http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/876-foldinghome-install-guide-and-links-linustechtips-team-223518/?p=472632

 

 

 

 

 

And just as I mention in that thread, in order to out pace this guy, a few teams would have to merge together to match and/or out pace him.

 

 

Now your team has increased PPD by quite a bit since I did the comparison, although you guys would still need another team that makes about 3M to 4M PPD to match his output.

 

 

[spoiler=]Or whaler_99 going to have to buy a whole bunch of high end 4p servers

[megadarkwood]

Whaler can just send us a few each a 4p folding rig and we can all fold at our houses!

[constanrine5d]

If apple is folding they must be serious about it like 1000 mac pros there is no way we can beat them

[Xsilent(X)]

if evryone from the LTT starts to fold again! and the entire forum there is no way he can beat us

[BenDreadful]

People shouldn't forget that this isn't such a bad thing. I mean, yes, a team will overtake us, but by the end of next week we will overtake 4 other teams. the most important part is consistency. we just need to continue folding like we are now and everything should be ok

Exactly this - teams will come up and pass us, we will continue to pass teams. We just need to stick with it and keep adding active folders to the team.

Now I feel bad I have had to stop folding completely the past couple of weeks because the A/C in my house is out. If I leave my computers folding it would be a constant 95 F 24/7 and in my room it would get hotter. I can't live like that haha.

[iruixos]

Now apparently it's down to 1 week until the overtake.

 

Estimated occurrence on 09.09.13

Either we're stepping up our game, or they're slowing down as right now it says 6.5 days.
