Folding@Home bigadv EOL 3rd Anniversary Challenge: [H] vs TAAT

[Pappy]

I noticed my GPUs (cuda) running at 84-87% when I was folding with my cpu. With the cpu paused they jump up to 94-98%. Looks like about 30% of my cpu is being used just to support the GPUs. I limited the cpu to half the threads and the GPUs still drop when the cpu is folding... Strange!

Last time I folded it was all about cpu, looks like things have changed drastically!

Fun times, happy to contribute!

Back in early 2012I was folding on a 2600k and a 560ti 448 core which was basically a 570.
At that time both my CPU and GPU would get me around 30K PPD each. I remember watching the GPU's start to take off after that. A Radeon 7970 for example was able to make 140K PPD

We really like bacons too, so hoping for more than less 🥓 🥓

Some of us collect GPUs for cryptocurrency mining, but for a F@H competition, we aimed them at F@H and we can put out some PPD! Some collect GPUs for BOINC projects, so when they turn them all over to F@H, you start seeing red

Now the challenge is for [H] to find 50% more ppd and join the top 3 teams

Less than 12 hours to go...
Looks like jad0083 (Jad_Sac) will pass 1B mark. Gratz!

 

[markfw15]

So jad_sac is about to pass 2 billion points total, one billion of which he has done in the last 5 days.

Just speaking of contribution and dedication to Folding@home, I passed 30 billion days after this competition started after 20 years of contributing to this project.

Edit: Oh, and he is number 961 to the project, and I am number 32.

 

[Endgame]

I find it fascinating that right now [H] has about 1/10th the active users that curecoin does, but is producing like 70% of the points. I think I found where all the 3080s went last year….

 

[Toconator]

Damn. I've got a 1070Ti but it keeps erroring out before finishing a WU. It'll run desktop just fine but was crashing while gaming a year ago and PerfCap Reason in GPU-z is power limit so I guess there's a VRM issue or something. It's why I nabbed a RTX3060 in the 2 days it was available last year but I was hoping it would still run compute for the challenge.

 

[yodap]

Thanks to pututu, Gilthanis and biodoc for setting this up. It’s been a pleasure running with you all on this one.
And thanks pututu for letting me pass you in the end.
Carry on all.

 

[biodoc]

Final stats: [H] wins (obviously).

 

[Priller]

Nothing like a W to start the day.

The air is fresher, the work day seems shorter, and dat sweet sweet maple syrup tastes oh so much sweeter...

 

[pututu]

Final stat. Thanks to both teams for participating in this 3rd bigadv EOL challenge.

Can [H] break the 10B mark in monthly production? We are now at 9.3B with less than 1.5 days to go.

 

[motqalden]

Thanks for coming out everyone we got a lot of good work done here for the causes.
Thanks to TAAT and for biodoc for bringing the stats!

 

[10esseeTony]

Nicely done to all!

 

[W.Feather]

Looks like Schro is beating W.Feather

 

[pututu]

This challenge has helped the team to surpass 10B monthly output in Jan. Our best ever.

Thanks again to all those who helped out.
