Genome@Home Report

Team Status

Unfortunately I have a strong suspicion we have set something of a record low for production this week with just over 6.5k although we have more active members than last week :frowning: That said, there is still an ongoing issue with stats that Stanford are aware of but unable to correct as Stefan seems to be AWOL as no one from Stanford has deigned it necessary to comment as to whether he’s back or not. The gist is that all the stats from returned units are actually being logged but not all are being credited by the stats server (I can testify to the non-credit issue as I had extreme difficulties trying to get my 2000th unit to register. Vijay (from the Folding Team) has assured all that the stats will eventually be credited when Stefan returns and fixes the glitch and helps progress the 2 stats systems towards unification so this won’t happen again. :rolleyes:

Visual confirmation (if it is needed) can be cleaned from the Stanford server stats pages showing the recent drop off in stats credit and active CPU’s whilst active teams stays pretty much constant, but these are now also starting to falter a little.

Having waffled all that, it’s worth a noting that these stats issues are affecting everyone and we are still 17th most productive team this week despite the record low.

Now that’s off my chest, I’m going to continue to repeat the links:

For official information on Genome@home 2.0 (aka Folding@home 3.0), see here, here and here.
and add a little bit more in that ther is a Beta version of F@h 3.1 available here that cures the problems with new team generation etc. No word as to how fast/slow it is but certainly there is no –nonet facility.

Internal Affairs

Right, as usual, starting at the bottom and as usual wnyotiel kicks off the action with this week’s victim on the way to 25th being Monkeymia, nitrile finally stomps our poor unfortunate curly_99 for 15th spot, scoobie breaks into the Top10 deposing Speedo on the way and last action of the week sees nitRAM taking 5th spot from Mojo – methinks he might get barred from the TPR Arms for that :smackbum:.

That concludes this week’s (rather brief) sermon :wink:

The weekly production stakes see riddler and ciipher locked in battle (as ciipher continues to cause havoc in my Word template) with riddler’s AGOIA Power™ found wanting this week, with some of the current usual suspects filling the rest of the places – well done Crazydude and scoobie :thumbsup:

Daily production is always a different kettle of fish where differing –nonet strategies make themselves a little more apparent, welcome appearances from ciipher, riddler, Ciccio and Crazydude – well done chaps :slight_smile:

And here she is, today’s FHM girl, Alex Leigh

Thanks for the report, Mulda. :thumbsup:

I will see what I can do with Genome when I get my dual XP1800 back.

4

Top report once again Mulda :thumbsup:

I’m on a bit of a production low atm 'cause I’ve just installed .Net Server Enterprise (120-day demo) on one of my machines at home and it screwed up my network for a day or two. Also, that machine is now crunching a little slower due to the slightly higher overheads due to the o/s upgrade from Win2K :wink:

I still have at least another 650 units to upload though, I just have to get up into my loft and get the new server connected to my SmoothWall box and upload… probably tomorrow night.

I haven’t been keeping a close eye, but it seems my units have been going up relatively okay… /quickly reaches to touch wood…

Oh, and Alex is purdy :nod:

5

So does that mean my 2000 or so lost units from back in June will get credited ? :slight_smile:

Isa coming for you Riddler ???

Allegedly, but don’t quote me on that :wink:

7

And my 1400 from last month?

Hmm, must check all my PCs too, just back from Greece by a few days, need to see how far behind Ridds i am!

:wink:

Grrr, I’m being hunted in a pincer movement… if only I had an ace up my sleeve.

And to think I’ve just been sat here motionless for two hours at my desk (apart from drinking a cup of tea and eating a Wholenut bar) thinking intensly about some Genome stats… tch, some people just aren’t grateful :wink:

On the stats problem, I’m not sure I laike the naswers I’m now getting:

Any news yet?

Serverstats are showing marked dropoffs in CPU’s used and units returned - it would seem the community is losing faith on this one :frowning:

Well, keep in mind that F@H has been growing, by pretty much the amount the G@H has decreased. It looks like G@H people are moving over to the F@H infrastructure – which is a good thing. Should make G@H much more robust since there are a team of guys working on F@H and who can help when there is a problem.

:confused:

So how do people moving away from G@H to F@H make G@H more robust ?

:amstupid:

11

grrrrrr Scoobie, you DIE for this!!! well when I hit 2k on Evil-SpeeD account anyway (not too long now ;))

12

and last action of the week sees nitRAM taking 5th spot from Mojo – methinks he might get barred from the TPR Arms for that

As a bloke once said - I’ll be back :slight_smile: And no - course he aint banned!
