Yeah, I've definately noticed Zeus' chariot ride to the heavens lately, and the Sudhian upwards production trend.  Quite a few of the old timers (not me, I don't consider myself an old timer yet) have upped their production, plus we have been getting some new folders lately that are putting up good numbers. Such as cngn, yitbos1, and there are others that escape me at the moment.  Sorry if I left your name out.

I don't know what brought in the new folders, there hasn't been any official recruiting, maybe just word of mouth.  Here's a question to the newbs, how did you find out about Sudhian folding and what got you to start?

I've done the "recieve work units bigger then 5MB" thing since day one, which BTW was Sept 5, 2004.  I wish I'd got started before that.  I know some of you, like Xtian, fallapart, Scut, caveman bassar, and more (sorry for those I have left out) have been folding forever, but better late than never I guess.

I have two 3000 Bartons, two 2800 Bartons, and one 1.2 Ghz Thunderbird.  The four Bartons average just a little over 200 points per day, and the Thunderbird averages about 100 points per day, so I usually average between 900 and 1000 points per day.  I wish I could do more, but that's it for now at least.

well done folks.

while everyone else's stats are going higher, I've had to deal with a major meltdown.
fried a video card and a scsi card just to name a couple. have lost quite a few wu's to
frequent crashes. In the process of rebuilding and reformatting 2 of my rigs. (3 processors
not folding) I am getting close to running again.

1-2600 Thoroughbred
1-2800 Barton 2.43mhz (just got running)
2-248 Opteron's (up then down, up then down)
1-3500 Winchester still in package (where's that damn motherboard)


p.s.  Pudge is so close behind me I can smell his cologne

I was wondering why there was an orange glow in the east at night!  When you get them all running again and then add the 3500 Winchester, you will pull away from me no problem.

Don't know what you're smelling, but it aint cologne.  To show you how much cologne I use, I bought a bottle of Hai Karate in 1968 and it's still half full!  Must be something wafting in from the cattle lot.

Pudge

I've always been a fan of the articles Sudhian has put out thus far, not a Shuttle or small factor buff myself. I was folding for a team, going nowhere and Sudhian seemed a nice place.

But what actually clinched my joining was Newfie's msg on the forum about "why" folding is a good thing.

And the banter on the forums, sure makes it interesting


I run two enormous rigs (http://www.gncn.com). I seem to keep getting errors with one of them even though it reports no issues. Just that the FAH core keeps crumbling and re-downloading over and over again. Even though I've turned all the options off. and am running it with defaults. (The Reason my WU count has zoomed but not my score). Looking at changing the memory sticks and otherwise the OS I run has issues at al.


It's good to be making a difference...and may folding be a part of your life where ever you go.

[Pudge]

cngn;
We're glad to have you folding for Sudhian, and Kudos to Newfie for his passionate plea that brought you here.

I also had problems with one of my computers having several WUs stopping and sending back results prematurely.  But all of a sudden it stopped, and all is well again, and I didn't do anything to the computer.  It always seemed to be a 600 point work unit that failed, and the 300 something WUs ran OK.  But now it has successfully finished a 600 pointer or two OK.  The 600 point WUs are fairly new, and the problem can be with the way the WUs are set up from Stanford, and not always the computer's fault.

and me and me!
Nice one Zeus!

Personally, my family has gone skiing and so Production will be crappy this week...
We can only hope

[cngn]

Looks like it was a Memory Stick problem, I've changed it from 2 X 512mb DDR PC 2700 to 1 X 512mb PC3200, and it's started chewing into it's first WU without any issues. Hope it stays stable.

Thanks for the advice Pudge.

Heh, and BTW I landed a new job, so one more Machine added albeit a really slow PIII with 128mb RAM , till my boss can arrange for an upgrade.

So I'm back to running 3 rigs now.

1 AMD64 Athlon FX - 53
2 AMD XP 3200 + Barton
3 Pentium III

[DickH]

Congrats.
I should make the top 20 by the end of the day, I just got my shuttle back after ~2 months of not working, it wants to get back to folding.
I have a 3500+@2.4, 1.6p4, 2.0celleron, and a 3ghz p4 (soon to be upgraded)  Hopefully with my shuttle back, my average will go up a noticable ammount

Zeus crosses the magic 200k

Well done Zeus - your 'Maxed output easy' is really paying off! At this rate, you will overtake me back in about a month's time

Keep folding hard!

Thanks its took some time as it all started October 2003 and my two aims where to make it into the top twenty off the team and the top 1000 in the world. which I nearly had once but others output in sudhian and the world just kepts increasing making it a tuff task, which is good.

But with reguards to the 'maxed output easy' I never thought it could improve my output so much for so little effort. but your machines need to be stable as running the 5.02 console as a service with the big WU is a real test of stablity and puts more stain on the CPU than the earlier clients (IMO), you need to keeep a close eye on the folding log and make sure the client doesn't turn off the 'Extra SSE boost' as time frame rates double when it is switched off.

[VFR]

Welcome back into the top twenty again Zeus

Obviously the snow haven't affected your production - probably need the extra heat up north

Keep folding people!
