I've done my first workunit for the team, got another person (not on this forum) to work for this team and just been given the same WU as I've just done.:D

I'm at stock speeds atm and I only occasionally leave the PC on during the night and day. Baring in mind these are 5000 frame units I'm doing I think it's quite a feat. I'm also using the graphical client not the console.

Oh. I leave my computer on all the time now. Hasn't been off in, well, since I started! Plus that goes for the other computer I have doing the same in my name.

I guess this is the first time I've been "blue" in the past long while. I really need to take the time to work on my graphics card...

EDIT: Windows SMP Client in progress; Points adjustments

Windows SMP Client in progress; Points adjustments said:
With the GPU and PS3 ports looking more and more mature, we have put more efforts into Win SMP and v6 and I am happy to say that we are begining to testing both with outside alpha testers. It's still early, but we see the light at the end of the tunnel on both now that they're in outside alpha testing.

With the release of v6, we have also planned some adjustments to the point system. It's clear that points are important to everyone. Points are important to the science, as they encourage people to do the science. However, this means that the points scheme has to be aligned such that donors who optimize their points optimize the science of what we need too.

We have a plan on how to improve the current scheme and will announce it as v6 rolls out. V6 has some new features which allow us to make changes to the points scheme that were not possible before, which hopefully will let us optimize the points for science, thus allowing us to do our scientific calculations with even greater efficiency.

I'm generally not a fan of announcements without something more concrete (eg a download for the new beta clients would be nice), but I wanted to let people know what was coming, especially considering concerns that donors have had with the current system. We've read the threads -- thanks for the feedback and suggestions. The new system likely won't make *everyone* happy, but I bet it will resolve the issues raised and it will also be better for the science. More details to follow.

Oh....dear. Man! This graphics card......is aggravating me. It might be something else. Who knows. I think it is time for a windows reinstall. And I'll never touch Clockgen again!!!


And ETSA, you probably won't be able to run those clocks with folding. Folding@Home is really picky, much more so than games.

You don't have to use a separate username for your CPU and GPU...Just set the IDs different. If you get Early Unit Ends (EUE), then you usually only get a handful of points for them. Take a screen of what your console looks like.
