Folding update - May 2009

Fuzz's picture

Last time we checked in on the Team IPX Folding@Home project we had just broken into the top 10,000 teams worldwide.

Since then we have slowly been climbing the rankings and as of today are ranked 6557 – and that’s just with Hashy, Robag and myself.

We’d love it if we could get some more contributors and push that ranking up even higher. Remember, you don’t need high powered hardware to contribute, any old piece of junk can fold during periods of inactivity. And it’s easy to set up a folding task to run when your PC has been inactive for 10 or 15 mins, and stop when you come back to your PC.

How to get involved: here

Thanks for the contributions of those involved.

EDIT: Update, 25/5/2009 – Rank 5755.
High enough for Extreme Overclocking’s stats site to index our team (but not yet out individual users – need to get to top 3000 for that).
http://folding.extremeoverclocking.com/team_overtake.php?s=&t=136356 – shows the team’s we’re chasing and how long til we get them.

Fuzz.

Ugh

It wasn’t working for me on my old ubuntu… I wanted the packages to be less than 10meg, and it spent an hour running without finding any… I also wanted to tie it into the screen saver, that way it starts when I leave, and stops when I return.
