The bad news is it won't last past tomorrow.

Okay RIP and DAlex, this is your chance to pass me sooner. I am going to throw my power over to folding@home until tomorrow. It won't stop Team OS-X from passing it but at least it will take them a little longer. Don't worry though......

...... I'll be back!

Any one else want to throw a little power over there with me overnight, come on over.

2 athlons, on the way.
Just remind me to switch em back

Edit: darn, one of my comps got a 1 million step 200 frame WU, that's going to take a while.

As it worked out, both my PC's each had a partially finished 5 pointer, and it is still well within the 9 day turnaround time. They will both finish sometime tomorrow I think, but the Celeron does take about 35 hours on one of those and only had about 6 frames completed, so might have to let it run till Monday morning.

Had almost forgotten how to setup the CLI client on the Mac.

1 million step? I've pulled some 1/2 million but never a 1 million 200 frame. That things got to be worth at least 10 points or more. It will take a while though.

Oh saw the following on the News page at the folding at home website.

4/12/2002 Lots of news: Meeting with Apple; new proteins; new science code; talk at UIUC

I had a very good meeting with Apple at their offices today. They showed some neat stuff. We've also put on some new proteins. Some are checks for a paper we are having refereed right now and some are a new interesting target.

Guha is making good progress with a new science code for Folding@Home. I want to keep the details secret for a little while, but it looks like that we'll get a 10x to 30x speed up over Tinker for some of the calculations we've planned (but never ran -- since they were so slow!). This is especially exciting for me since it opens the doors to some exciting new research. More when we go beta with this, which will hopefully be in a week or two.

Sounds interesting for those who run folding@home.

Lame duck here on the way to help!
Can't let you guys do all the work.
I'm not much help but maybe I can do a little to fend them off.

Hey Scotttheking what machine is the best for the fold@home
project?

Scott put a couple of Athlon's on it, and that is what I have had the best luck with, but have never had a chance to test my Power Mac on anything larger than a half point GNRA Hairpin, so don't know how it would do.

Will probably leave the Athlon on until it completes the current unit. (about 22 hours). The Celeron will take about 35 to complete its unit, but that is 10 points between the two. I will run the macs until tonight, and then switch them back to dFold. Team OS-X will likely pass today, unless a lot of power was brought to bare on this. Just going to make them work for those last couple of units.

As I post this, we are still a little bit ahead:

56. Team MacNN (4776.16)
57. Team MacOSX (4766.17)

10 score. I'm crunching.

I'm still crunching too, since the update to the new DF protein isn't completed yet. Just a note to anyone who wants to help out till tomorrow, The graphical client is about as fast as the CLI client if you run it hidden, and is very easy to setup. Team MacNN is team ID #16. It is a several hour committement though, for your efforts to count.

Also don't forget that Team MacNN SETI could use some help if you want to take a short term break until the new protein comes out.

Update, we are still ahead:

56. Team MacNN (4821.15)
57. Team MacOSX (4813.32)

Gap: 6.83 score. The Folding ranks are running now, I had not expected us to still be ahead at the next ranks update.

Yeah, I just noticed that too. Amazing! They are probably scratching their heads wondering why they haven't passed yet. We might even stretch this out until tomorrow. Having trouble with my iBooks airport connection, so it might be out of the running for a little bit, but I think I can still turn another 10 or 11 score by morning, if I complete the two big ones I have and maybe a couple of small ones.

[reader50]

Still holding, barely:

55. Team MacNN (4931.95)
56. Team MacOSX (4928.51)

Gap: 3.44 score.

They are edging ahead:

55. Team MacOSX (4945.11)
56. Team MacNN (4943.75)

Gap: 1.36 score.

Are we going to let them get away with this atrocity?

We're back on top if I am reading this right:

55. Team Macnn (4975.54)
56. Team MacosX (4971.61)
