I almost forgot that there are individual points...
every contribution counts and maybe we can help to cure cancer or Alzheimer's one day. Who knows ^^

This is actually on the good path. There has been great advancements on this way.

I remember having read a news article on that some time ago

During the downtime we've made some good progress: we're currently ranked 357 according to the EOC stats page with almost 39 million points and more than 18,000 completed WUs! :-)

I guess we all had plenty of idle CPU cycles because we were not able to post here.

bommel · June 11, 2012, 05:41:26 PM

Indeed ^^

bommel · July 03, 2012, 01:30:19 PM

We're currently ranked 346 of 213626 teams. Quite impressive to be among the top 350 teams in the world. And we're getting close to 340 at the moment

Our ranking should improve more quickly once I press into service my new Core i7 that will be overclocked in some time.

I haven't done this in a long time.... should get my ps3 back on again, but I barely get 'points' for that.

I gotta try it for my laptop too... But it isn't the most powerful one, just a Acer Aspire 5750

My PCs haven't been running much of the summer

University started today though, so my normal PC (the one with the GTS450) has time to run it now.

One of my other systems is no longer running it though (it's carrying a minecraft server instead)

Ikxeru · August 27, 2012, 05:32:20 PM

@Txantslusam Skxawng: Well, every WU counts! To my mind, you should give it a try!!!
On the other hand, maybe it stresses your laptop too much. Just check it out. $:-\$

My experience with running fah on notebooks: watch the temps. The fah client knows how to push your system to its limits and notebook cooling solutions are often close to the limits too.

Ikxeru · September 02, 2012, 09:34:10 AM

Wow, We are very close to a major milestone. We have almost reached 50,000,000 points.
All I can say: AWESOME!!!

Vivar, ma smuk, vivar!

Has anyone else here been getting a lot of single-core WUs in the SMP client recently?

Most units I've been getting for the past week are single-core units.

It's happening on 2 different systems, and nothing changed on my end.

bommel · September 04, 2012, 11:57:30 PM

No, I haven't got any singlecore WUs. Maybe there is/was a problem with the assignment servers? If you still get singlecore WUs try to delete the work folder inside your fah directory (run the client with the -oneunit flag in case of v6 to complete the current WU and exit). During the next connect the client will be assigned a new work server, maybe this will fix your problem. Although there is no guarantee that it will be a different server.

Yes, this happens here, too.... It seems as they have to finish a particular project.

Normally I get WUs that run around 21 hours until they finish. The WUs I get now rush thru within 2 hours.

Swoka Ikran · September 05, 2012, 07:00:14 PM

I think I'll just wait and see if my normal units start coming again.

I have an SMP unit right now on my quad (9% left), but my dual-core is still half-idle working out singles...

Ikxeru · September 06, 2012, 05:44:12 AM

Hmmm.... I don't knoiw what may help. Maybe you could force a restart of the client when the WU you run now is finished.
My machine hasn't been restarted for four weeks now, and what happend to me is that I just get smaller WUs. But these are running on all 8 cores, same as the larger ones, I used to get before they switched.
