Well, thank you for your 14 million points of contribution too. You, SuperMen and Amy are all leaders.Well said.
Thanks for the CPU power over the years Fox. I too am sorry to see it end, but as you pointed out, there are now many decent alternatives, most of which are deserving of all the CPU power they can get.
Like most, I will sticking to the humanitarian-based projects. I am a big fan of taking care of things close to home, and I cannot think of anything more worthy than curing the afflictions of man.
Not to sound like a spokesman for FaH team #33, but wouldn't it make sense to gang bang fah for awile? Just think of all those 100's...maybe 1000's of extra GHz contributing to a single project. Just maybe we can blow the doors off of stamford's original goal of finding a cure within 100 yrs (given the theory of Moores' law and the decreasing mhz boom at the time) and do it before I die.......not from old age or cancer....from being run over by a semi
I don't see any reason why people who actively manage their farms will not switch over to FAH while the decision is being made either. If they care enough about contributing something, are within their power to make a change relatively quickly, and don't have personal/technical reasons to not switch, they will switch.I don't see any reason why people can't switch over to F@H for a while until a decision is made. However, that's not feasible for some people. Some of these guys have shitloads of systems out there that it would be a pain to change from one client, to another to yet another if another project is found and they decide to join it.
I was a relatively young one in the grid community (January 2003), but I got some good points generated. 2,670,608 points and 7,785 results returned on a mostly Athlon/P3 farm isn't too shabby in my opinion. My friend was knocking on 40 years of CPU time, and we had a team together that gained us 26 years of time.
However, I joined to fight cancer and save lives through direct and focused research. With that in mind, has anyone tried this project?
Compute Against Cancer
I might run to F@H but I don't think they will like my hardware from the sounds of it. The frontier engine is relatively forgiving in specs at 600 MHz and 128 MB of RAM. Which is good, because a few of these boxes are strippers with 128 only!
Guess I better go check the min specs for the F@H client. Maybe I can split them evenly.
EDIT: Yeah, I got my screen caps and PDF files.
Wow, I just saw this, and I was hoping to break 30 years of CPU time during the month of May.
Well now it is time to move everything over to FAH.
I have a bunch of old PC's I was gonna slave to UD... humm.... guess not. And I mean a bunch, like 18+... not sure they would do so good at FaH.
Any reccomendations for a project that can still use older gear? P2-400 to AMD 2600+
I'd suggest selling them off for whatever you can get for them (lots of people need a CHEAP internet-only machine), and buying whatever modern machine you can with the money. 18+ machines, if you only get $25 per, that's $450. That'd buy a decent dual core machine. If you get $550-600 you can get a very nice Core 2 Duo machine. Plus you'll save alot on electric costs.
I don't know enough about the other projects to say whether your slower machines will be useful.
