Re: Folding@Home challenge

Since i got the cluster here compiling under my name it's helping
(slowly) close the gap between myself and mgrant. BTW MG, what kind of
computers make up those 37 processors?

I did install this on a new G5 tower and man does it book. Added a cron
job that starts and stops it so it only runs after business hours. It
really takes advantage of 'AltiVec' (http://tinyurl.com/25wee).

I noticed that our team ranking moved from the 180's to the 150's in the
last 5 months AND alot of people on the list have quit folding (0 active
processors in the last week)

Now that I'm back on the net, my computer will be folding nonstop. It
only takes a few minutes to upload my info and download the next bunch,
so even if I can't connect for half the day, my computer is still in.

Technically it should only be about 20. The machines get re-imaged
often and when fah runs for the first time it "thinks" its a new
computer. So, over the next little while the number of CPUs will
probably climb while in reality they are duplicates.

Most of the machines are Dell GX270s. I've also got an HP D220, HP
c5000 (?), HP Omnibook 6000, Sony VAIO, and a handful of miscellenouse
machines.

Like you, I have access to a test lab. Too bad I cannot run fah on all
the computers. There are close to 1000 in the lab.
