What's happening to us?

Our production line looks like the beginnings of a stock market crash.

We were nicely into the 70k/week and 10k/day range for awhile, and now we're back to ~8k/day. ARGH!!

I know I've lost ~1k/week production, and MikeC has shut his systems down for awhile. That along with various other folks I guess has caused this stall in production.

<sigh>

Well I'm moving to a new job in a couple of weeks so I'll be un-borging 4 CPU's at my current employer. Oh well 17th place felt great while it lasted!

I know i'm not a heavy hitter but i've been having some probs and that has cut my prodyction by probably a bout 100 pts - 200 pts a week.

Seems to me that there are a lot of tinkers being given to people. I know some Linux rigs being innundated by them. Windows seems to pull gromacs though. I dunno. But the decrease is accross the board.

My productions dropped at least 700 points a week,probably more, thanks to technical difficulties.

My productions is actually going up...of course, only by about 100/week. I love my 800 T-Bird. Anyone know how those Opterons fold yet?

Our recent losses have certainly been greater than our recent gains, but hopefully it's just a temporary dip. Wish me luck in getting my son's new P4C 2.66 online. It will be a 24/7 Folder when it's not doing video editing.

I have gotten quite a few Tinkers this week

I didnt' get a Tinker, but got a 1000 series Gromacs protein. Nearly as bad. My AMD 1600 usually cranks through stuff in 16-20 hours. This sucker is going to take nearly 3 days.

Looks like a serious crash/correction on a lot of team
graphs from the 11th and on. Maybe a bunch of low point WU's being served up. I keep getting 2500's they take 51-52 hrs on my XP2200. Right about 1 point per hour. Makes me favor Tinkers.

On a bad note, slo-tech is gainning on us the last 24hrs!!!!!!!

I have 1 pc alone in a house. There was a power outage and it did nada for about 3 days.

Ah finally, the smoking gun. THAT's why our production is off.

After dropping like a stone for four days, our production was back up a bit on Monday, but then back down yesterday. 10K a day was fun while it lasted.

I see that at a few member's production has fallen to zero, or virtually zero in the last several days.

MikeC, but he'll be back in a few days.
aphonos - nada yesterday and previous 4 days production were sharply off
WarpedPlatter - 0 production on 3 of the last 4 days
powergyoza - nada since 11/13
jvanlaven? - his production is very irregular, but he hasn't had a big day in almost a week.

OK all you's guys, what's your excuse?

I went to Comdex and when I got back (just tonight) I realized that all 3 of my PCs were rebooted. I've no idea who rebooted them because nobody was in the house.

So I got 2 full days of 0 output.

<OT>
Now, on another note, I've seen the new fanless Zalman case and their watercooled tower.... yummi!

I've also talked to Fortron/Sparkle people and they told me that there is no difference between their regular PSUs and Auroras. Auroras are flashy and are for retail while the regular ones are for OEM. They said the components are identical.

Sounds like lots of negative things all hit around the same time.

I took my 2nd fastest machine (XP2000 laptop) with me on vacation for the past week. Unfortunately, there was no internet connection in my room at Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge, so I couldn't contribute with that machine. I did install a UPS to make sure that other machines stayed up while I was gone, (though it looks like the wind storms didn't kill the power at all) so I didn't drop off completely.

I'm back at full-folding now. Christmastime will probably see another PC going onto my ex-wife's electric bill for my younger daughter. Folding for SPCR, of course!

BORG YOUR EX!

Scott

BTW, Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge rocks. Yeah, there's no internet connection, but I don't exactly have giraffes, zebras, wildebeest, etc. outside my window at home, either.

Well, you'll be back past me in no time then.

Its not much, but I've had my backup server at home (P3-566) down as well.

haysdb · Post by **haysdb** » Sat Nov 29, 2003 9:39 pm

Looks like were doing OK relative to our competition. According to Arachnid's stats page, SPCR and the teams immediately ahead (Abit) and behind (Slo-Tech) are bunched at 22,23,24 in "Last Week Points", with SPCR on top by four thousand points for the week.

If we maintain this rate, and Abit maintains their rate, we will overtake them in late January.

As a team, we currently have No Potential Threats, but then, I'm not looking back, but ahead to Abit and AOA.

The Knights Who Say Ni are doing well. They are now in 20th position world wide, and are doing it with only 55 Active Users. That's an amazing per user average, 2.5 TIMES higher than SPCR. Of course, it doesn't hurt that they have the #12 worldwide folder, doing over 5K points per DAY!

Overclockers Australia has the #2 Folder in the world, making 19K points per day with 663 Active CPU's!

Who is the world's most prolific folder?

#1 is most likely "anonymous" or "unassigned" or "google" or some default catch-all account like that.

In the list of actual named folders at Stanford, "plext" is #1 and "DGROMS.COM" is #2 in terms of total points. They both are on the OC Australia team.

Seems like we are again at 70k per week

.

Keep on folding.

Zyzzyx · Post by **Zyzzyx** » Wed Dec 03, 2003 3:13 pm

It might be awhile, but I think that 'Sharky Forums' could end up being a threat to us. They're only back at around 160th position or so right now, but cranking fast. Last I looked they were at ~45k weekly production, and they're still growing fast. When I first caught notice of 'em, they only had ~10k weekly.

I won't be surprised when I see them on our Threats list.

What's happening to us?
