it was sometime last year when 5,000 points per day was enough to put me in the top 20 on the team.

I just hit 15,000 points per day and I am not even on the list.

:)



 
Thats nothing.
Go back further.

My stats for the start of 2004
1/11/04, ~180,000 points.
1/23/04, ~190,000 points.
2/04/04, ~200,000 points.
3/13/04, ~230,000 points.
Its an average of ~800 PpD ...... :D

It put me around 25th in the team on PpD if I remember correctly.

Luck ................ :D

Yup, I remember that very well, both the day I passed you and then the day you blew my doors off:D

My my how things have changed over the years....yet here we are, still folding on;)



 
Hey, many thanks to the guys and gals that have earned the rank of "old timers" in the F@H program (time in the program, not physical age ;) ) You are an inspiration to us folders that have joined in the last few years. You're also nice enough to answer some of our less than knowledgeable questions about folding. :D

THANKS :p

 
I remember when I knew every person on the team....and could name them all in 30 seconds....and the WU ran all day for 25 points. :)
 
I remember being a nobody in the team till the Win SMP got released :)

 
I ran UD for a couple years way back when, not for team 33. I started folding at the beginning of July and got 57k my first month. Now that I figured out the smp client I should have about 80k per month with the same hardware. Just wait till I build my nehalem heater this fall-winter. I promised myself I'd pay off one of the student loans before I built it.



 
I remember when we were pushing for the entire team to put out 5000 PPD. And at the time, it seemed like a pipe dream.

I remember when 1 man in this dc forum used to run with a compound called mojo used pizza boxes as computer cases. Where I met him at TGI Fridays in around Cincinnati, or maybe I met the guy outside of Batavia, OH at a party In October watching a bon fire with pianos burning in the background.

I am a person whom created the hardest folding rig on this team only to dismantle it later, which is ironically my user name.

I remember when some of the WU actually folded Stable.

I do have a question for the old farts on this team, how long till you realized I might come by to visit.

And I have another question, when can we expect a final release of the smp core, not the beta ones?
 
Hi [H]ark :) I guess you are a old timer as well, just not registered back on the forum after the purge ?

Linux and MacOSX SMP is not beta but Windows SMP is still beta due to the weakness of the MPI layer.

Oh thanks, do you know who this is posting?
I still live in Georgia for the Old farts on this team that cannot seem to remember where I went. I am currently married to a lovely lady whom I am trying to get legally into the country from Taiwan.

Where I fold isn't anyone's concern, I have folded here and I have folded everywhere.

So anyone have an answer of when they will quit using the smp beta and go to the final release client of smp?

I'm not running a beta and a few weeks later have to discontinue using it for a better smp beta. I think I will run the console version on each core till the folding at home developers can release the final client.
 
Scorp.
Know where you went, no idea where you wound up.
Hope all is well.
 
Fold onwards.
Stay well.

Luck ............ :D

Wait a second, I know you :p

Go tell your pops to suck it (ok maybe don't put it quite that way) and resurrect the [H]ark. The GPU2 client is out of beta, so you could run those in it. Got that toughbook folding yet?

Don't worry the [H]ark has been rebuilt in some sort of a way, but it's not called [H]ark anymore.

I'm not folding on the toughbook either, I have a quad core to do that on.
 
16,000 points per day ---- and I made it into the top 20 folders on the [H]ardest and est Team in the World! Team 33 For the Win!
 
Holy thread resurrection Batman....

yah... I haven't heard from some of these guys in a very long time... and I know that feeling about needing 40KPPD.... I'm just on the edge of that.

hell, October 2007 might have been the first ever HardDC award. Pocatello's *ancient* :)

My first WU was turned in on 04.14.05
I think it was on a 3.0ghz Pentium 4. Or possibly an Athlon XP 3000+
 
This thread brings back memories. had some good battles with relic back in genome@home days. $600.00 power bills. extra window unite in a house that had central air. basement sure stayed toasty in the winter.
 
Yeah, it took me almost 2 years to hit 500K, and at one time I had upwards of 20 boxes going. I almost wish they had adjusted the point values for inflation so to speak, as it kind of diminishes the contributions of the early folders on the project.

At the end of the day though, it's more important that the science gets done...for the people who are....still alive. ;)
 
Ahhh the good ol days

WHERE THE HELL IS TIGER!

I disagree. Computers are orders of magnitude more powerful than they were a few years ago. Although the points don't exactly correspond to the amount of work being done, it definitely makes sense for the rate of points production to increase as computer power increases. Sure, it sucks for people who produced points years ago, but that's life. When I started folding, I was producing 200PPD on a Pentium 4 machine and there was no such thing as a GPU or SMP client.
