EOC is a stats website: https://folding.extremeoverclocking.com/user_summary.php?s=&u=1208975 QRB is Quick Return Bonus and covered here: https://test.foldingathome.org/support/faq/points/?lng=en-US

Hi, I'm a retired editor from that blue flame place some of you came from. Been reviewing some eoc stats, and I found many who are outside of qrb probably due to shutting down your client before work unit(s) finish. Just thought i'd point out that when you're going to take a break, click the finish button first, and then let it finish the outstanding work. You won't fail work and reset qrb counters to possible another 10 successful work unit submissions. Happy Folding!

Folding for Cures!

I was on OCN too lol.

Testing Beta 6 now. I had to open my door on that test above to get temps down lol

Yeah, I saw ya up there.

Yeah, I saw the big cheese, but not those other cheddars. My 2nd rig is going in my 10 yr old Lanboy Air lol. It's still a nice case.

I'll take 5! lol I have been looking at this kind of stuff. I did not put 2x 220's dedicated in there for nothin when I built my office last year.

More focused on the # of active/new folders with this one. Good to see new faces/actives!

Wow! You weren't lying! That's huge! Almost 24%

Here they come!!! Wonder what tomorrow will look like!

Does anyone have any statistical comparisons done recently to see how much of an improvement people can achieve these days on a Linux Kernel vs Windows? Also, is a Virtual environment still a viable increase over doing it in Windows, or is that not even currently possible for GPU's?

I am very proud of the group of people we have participating in folding for EHW, so I thought I'd turn this into something more I can make easier to find, The Folding Rigs of EHW! ? Folding is intense, and there may be a few really nicely done PC's contributing, so it should be interesting. When you post pictures, and then update your rig in another post, I will add that post to the list of versions. That will show the progression of your rigs. Be sure to list all of your specs in your first post, and along the way as you change things. Expand For the List

I would have expected unit 11 would have been more regardless. I'd keep it going if you can so we can check these next few units. Here's the QRB specifics: Bonus Points The prompt completion of Work Units (WUs) is very important for the science we’re doing. In order to study the proteins we’re interested in, we need be able get the results back quickly. A faster turnaround also means that we can launch projects that are larger and more difficult than ever before. So in 2010 we introduced the Quick Return Bonus (QRB), which gives extra points to users who rapidly and reliably complete WUs. The QRB has been fairly successful in aligning points with scientific value, and we will continue to use it. What are the qualifications for the QRB? The bonus is applied for users who use a passkey, have successfully returned at least 10 bonus-eligible WUs, have successfully returned 80% or more of assigned WUs, and returned the unit before its Timeout (formerly Preferred Deadline). Bonus points do not apply to partial returns. How is the QRB determined? We have a single benchmark machine, its most important component is its processor: a Intel(R) Core(TM) i5 CPU 750 @ 2.67GHz. The machine’s OS is Linux. Here are the steps that we use to determine points for a project: Take a WU from a project and run it on the benchmark machine until it finishes. Measure the time it took to complete. Base credit awarded for the WU is then just a scaling factor multiplied by this time. The timeout and deadline values are also simple functions of the time it took to complete. These are set primarily to give a donor a reasonable amount of time to finish a WU, but short enough so that any WU that gets sent out but not processed (e.g. donor quits FAH, forgets to re-start that WU, their computer dies, etc) can be retrieved and sent out again in a reasonable amount of time. Thus these values are set depending on what kind of hardware a project is being run on (uniprocessor, SMP, GPU) and how long the WU took to finish on the benchmark machine. The k-factor, a coefficient in awarding bonus points, is currently set to a baseline value of 0.75, but may vary depending on the scientific value of a project. The Folding@home software on your computer calculates Total Points as follows: final_points = base_points * max(1, sqrt( k * deadline_length / elapsed_time)) Note that the max(1, …) ensures that final_points are never lower than base_points, deadline_length is the deadline aka final deadline, and elapsed _time is the length of time from when the WU was assigned, to when it was uploaded, including transit time. Deadline_length and Elapsed_time are measured in days to one decimal point. PPD is calculated as follows: PPD = 14.4 * base_points * max(1, sqrt( 14.4 * k * Expiration / TPF)) / TPF Note that TPF is in minutes, in decimal form, not time format. Note that GPU projects are now being benchmarked on the same machine, but using that machine’s CPU. By using the same hardware, we want to preserve our goal of “equal pay for equal work”. Our GPU methods have advanced to the point such that, with GPU FAHCore 17, we can run any computation that we can do on the CPU on the GPU. Therefore we’ve unified the benchmarking scheme so that both GPU and CPU projects use the same “yardstick”, which is our i5 benchmark CPU. What projects have the QRB? Right now, it is mainly applied to Work Units for multi-core processors. However, they will soon be applied to WUs for GPUs. As our GPU methods have matured, our plan is to treat all WUs identically. We can now do the same calculations (including implicit and explicit solvation) on both CPUs and GPUs. In years past, these two pieces of hardware were treated differently. This is no longer the case. Our plan is to introduce the Quick Return Bonus to GPUs as we roll out our new GPU core, FAHCore 17.

11 work units have completed under that user name. Was the passkey new? 10 work units need completed to start earning bonus. That's why you're showing more in F&H Console, most likely. If the passkey was not new, maybe some units failed/did not finish on-time before these next 11 that caused bonus to re-set. Are you going to use this name as a general folding name for those who do not want to create their own name kind of like we did for OCN events? Edit: You even linked the user name on f&h! It was too early for me apparently!

EOC says 0 for user enterprise for 3 weeks. I say start with a pinch and a push of the start button on f@h ? or... Blame Canada! You are using a passkey? You did hit finish on your client before stopping it last? What hardware are you folding on?

Oh boy, shouldn't be too hard to fix. Got a pic? That's a Spotswood bench?

Oh man, I'm catching up on all of these because of of the first 5 of this one.

Everything when down briefly on mine. I had Soundblaster X7, Headphones Charging, a Keyboard and Mouse Powered Switch, Webcam, Xbox Controller, Wireless Xbox Receiver, and an External SSD. I was transferring a movie to the external SSD. Whole usb went down. Unplugged a few things, came back on.

I just saw a 1070 go for 500, 139 more than i paid new for one 6 years ago.

I was sitting here thinking this sounded great, but then I thought about all of the monthly subscriptions I have and how free sounds better, even if slower, in this case.

Dang, there are a lot of prizes! I still use this.

Anyone else have ARM running Windows? I have a Galaxy Book S. I feel like that's flat out slow. Can I put Google on it and still hook into Verizon?

I opted for a MSI Meg x570 Ace. Pretty great and I wanted those 3 m.2's lol Also fits sli with 2 more pci cards which seemed hard to come by on the Asus side.
