3 multicore cpus doing something different

[stevew]

Hello Dual Boxing! Your rigs are simply amazing. I run 3 computers 24/7.

I'd like to try to invite you to join Team Hack-A-Day http://www.teamhackaday.com/forum/ in Folding@home http://folding.stanford.edu/. Our team is running 1280 cpus, all working together towards the same goal. We're using our idle cpu cycles to aid in the fight against disease, and we are currently 26th in the world. The software runs in the background, no impact on your use of your computer.

Please stop by our site and have a look. It might inspire you to join us or even start your own team.

I love Hack-A-Day! You should do a feature on Gameslah's setup.

Between Gameslah and myself, we could add what, 60+ boxes, including some quad and dual cores? Not sure running folding while boxing is a good idea though :(

Hi Xzin,

We are not the offical Hack-A-Day; but we can certainly point out the incredible systems that you have created to Hack-A-Day. I'm sure that they'll be just as amazed as I am. We are a group of Hack-A-Day aficionados just like you. Some members of our team have just one old, slow desktop Folding@home while others have wickedly over clocked quads and a few are running 20-30 cpus 24/7.

As a Team Hack-A-Day has gone from 2 guys leaving the SETI program two years ago to 1250+ members and 26th (28th on aggregate) in the world in two years. We've about 250 full time people running, at last count, 1280 different cpus in the past 50 days. You can check out this page at Stanford http://www.teamhackaday.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2580 I just started in December and have two boxes running headless just for the Folding@home project. I'm #21 at this point. You guys would zoom up the list!

I'm cross posting at our Forum so the rest of Team Hack-A-Day can appreciate your stuff. The acid green colors on a black background is just our envy etching away at us. (Envy being a not-so-subtle form of praise.)

Thanks for your reply. I have to come back and watch the movies!
