Wow I can't believe the increase in production. The top 10 is insane right now!
Top 10??? Try top 20, it is going to take 207k ppd to break into the top 20. That is just nuts

I don't even make 1k right now since I'm just running 2 uniprocs on my laptop.Hell, I still dream of 20k...![]()
Its all pretty impressive. I noticed this because I just recently started folding again.Top 10??? Try top 20, it is going to take 207k ppd to break into the top 20. That is just nutsI think it is time to light my boxes back up to aide in bringing us back to #1 again.

That is exactly how I started out as I simply ran a single uniprocessor classic client on my laptop before the addiction kicked in. After the bug bit me, I then fired up my gaming rig. Then I turned off the gaming rig and built a dedicated folding rig based on a Bloomfield. Then the bug bit me worse and I built folding2 using a Gulftown. Sometime around the end of this year, I hope that i'll have the funds for a multiprocessor rig.
Pending BD performance numbers I'll probably be moving folding over to a desktop rig some time in the fall.![]()
If you plan on staying with a single processor, I would honestly try to save my funds for a Gulftown or 6core/12thread equivalent of Sandy when it comes out later this year. Stanford has alluded to the fact that they will probably end bigadv at some point and replace it with bigbetaadv which requires a minimum of 12 cores(logical or physical). Unfortunately this effectively locks out the Zambezi 8 cores from being able to fold those work units just like the Thubans were locked out of folding bigadv despite the fact that they were more than capable.
It is starting to sound like the bug has bit you as this is how it starts. I imagine that these super folders on our team probably all started small until they realized that folding is a drug worse than powder.

Isn't bulldozer supposed to have 16 threads as far as windows is concerned?
No, I thought it was going to run 2 threads per core, but it appears I was confused.

The FP stuff is still a little confusing, but it seems to me like it should work fine because the FPU can split to process instructions from each thread on the module (from my understanding). Either way we'll find out when it releases. Perhaps someone should see if they can load up the FAH bench on the 16th?Bulldozer is a doozer of a chip as I am still confused how that thing will run. When AMD advertises physical cores, they are talking about integer cores as the Interlagos 16 cores will feature 8 BD modules. Each module features 2 integer cores that share everything else including cache and a 256bit FPU.
I am curious with all of this sharing going on, how big of an increase in folding we can expect if folding is very FPU intensive.

I live in Indiana and will be driving to Seattle starting on the 15th so that's a no go.
Yes!Actually, I seriously hope that one of you guys will be attending the HardOCP AMD GamExperience over in downtown Dallas. I was planning on going, but got a summons for jury duty starting that week. If one of you guys can sneak it while Kyle isn't watching, maybe you can load up Musky's F@H benchmarking utility and give us a sneak preview. Just sign up for the gaming tourney and close the game. Just pretend like you are fragging someone by continously moving the mouse around, but secretly load the benchmark![]()

Nice, are you moving to the area? There's a decent sized [H]ardforum community out here.

6years ago, I couldn't find anyone around Puget Sound.... now........... sheesh.
Beautiful area up there..... and it's a tad cooler in the summer and a tad warmer in the winter
Tho now that I've made it to upstate NY I've found at least one now.
Heh, and I'm from upstate NY...wayyyy upstate.
The weather in the Puget sound is much more conducive to folding however, although it hit 80 today and I feel like I'm melting in the office...
Amazing how quickly you get spoiled.![]()

11.6 months until overtake!
We are coming for you!
Anyone know where Apollo has been lately? It would be nice to have him back as I know that he would probably be thrilled to see us actually being competitive with that other team again.
I think Apollo is back folding as he is clocking up some decent pointage, however I have yet to see him post
