Folding@home (even PS3!)[views:8015][posts:104]_______________________________________ [Jul 25,2007 11:16am - the_reverend ""] it takes my PS3 8hrs to crank through one. my C2D 2GHz machine takes 24hrs. |
| __________________________________ [Jul 25,2007 11:22am - sxealex ""] well then i have nuthin over 1ghz running it... but i have 5 going at once... probably gimme 4 days. |

| __________________________________ [Jul 25,2007 11:30am - sxealex ""] should break into a comp lab at unh and just install it on every compy |
| _____________________________________ [Jul 25,2007 7:09pm - xanonymousx ""] I think I'm on there.. I forgot to put a name so 3 of them are PS3 |
| _________________________________ [Jul 25,2007 7:13pm - sxealex ""] i dont have a ps3... can i do it on ps 2 |
| _____________________________________ [Jul 25,2007 7:48pm - xanonymousx ""] don't think so... unless its a homebrew thing. |
| ______________________________________ [Jul 25,2007 8:11pm - the_reverend ""] the ps2 isn't powerful enough. the ps3's cell processor rock boats. |
| __________________________________ [Jul 25,2007 11:37pm - sxealex ""] im jealous i dont have a machine that can pump it out in 8 hours |
| __________________________________ [Jul 25,2007 11:37pm - sxealex ""] ps3 is ppc i heard |
| _________________________________ [Jul 26,2007 5:40pm - sxealex ""] im getting impatient here.... all of mine are at like 50 % |
| _________________________________ [Jul 26,2007 5:47pm - sxealex ""] i forgot my ubuntu machine was a 3 ghz celeron and i put one on that one last night. i installed xubuntu on it as well now. |
| ______________________________________ [Jul 26,2007 5:53pm - the_reverend ""] I have a 3GHz p4 and it takes like 3 days on that.. |
| _________________________________ [Jul 26,2007 6:39pm - sxealex ""] well this is dual core celeron so its probably gonna take a day and half |
| __________________________________________ [Jul 26,2007 6:40pm - thegreatspaldino ""] i will steel ur meg4hurtz |
| _________________________________ [Jul 26,2007 6:45pm - sxealex ""] http://digg.com/hardware/8_Ghz_overclocking_project just for this project |
| ______________________________________ [Jul 26,2007 6:46pm - the_reverend ""] they have 3GHz celeron core duos? |
| _________________________________ [Jul 26,2007 6:52pm - sxealex ""] yea it was 180 bucks with a monitor and printer i got it on black thursday |
| _________________________________ [Jul 26,2007 6:56pm - sxealex ""] i have a pentium 4 i bought for 50 bucks a while back... i think im gonna try and overclock it to see if i can beat yer ps3 |
| _________________________________ [Jul 26,2007 7:02pm - sxealex ""] yeea right.... |
| _________________________________ [Jul 27,2007 4:12pm - sxealex ""] i finally completed my first one but the site is being updated. therefor i dont believe i exist |
| _____________________________________ [Jul 27,2007 9:59pm - xanonymousx ""] I've been doing this for most of the day. |
| ______________________________________ [Jul 28,2007 8:56am - the_reverend ""] yeah, see alex, xax's ps3 has been doing the for the same time as your machine and he's at 5 units where you are still at 1. my work P4 (which I never use) is at 58 running flatout. adminitrator is a 2ghz c2d that I rarely have folding (mostly at night). iow: the ps3 processor rocks. |
| _________________________________ [Jul 28,2007 1:04pm - sxealex ""] ill catch up yet! i just have to figure how to do it cheaply. |
| ______________________________________ [Jul 28,2007 1:38pm - the_reverend ""] PS3 is the $/power/processor best choice. |
| _________________________________ [Jul 28,2007 1:51pm - sxealex ""] errr 600$? ati x1900 is like 100-200 used and i think its supposed to be faster than the ps3. regardless im probably not gonna spend $. |
| _________________________________ [Jul 28,2007 2:03pm - sxealex ""] GPU 41 teraflops 689 active gpus 2178 total gpus PS3 251 teraflops 10238active gpus 11172 total gpus |
| _________________________________ [Jul 28,2007 2:04pm - sxealex ""] i believe its only been developed for x1900, some x1800 and some x1600 needs a minimum of 512 megs on the card |
| _________________________________ [Jul 28,2007 2:05pm - sxealex ""] those stats arent up to date but u can see the ratio still |
| ______________________________________ [Jul 28,2007 2:36pm - the_reverend ""] ps3s are $500 now and you get blue ray. |
| _________________________________ [Jul 28,2007 3:11pm - sxealex ""] you should make a F@H section and have the stats on the page someplace. that way you don thave to keep bumping the thread when we forget about it |
| ______________________________________ [Jul 28,2007 3:24pm - the_reverend ""] under misc? |
| _________________________________ [Jul 28,2007 3:28pm - sxealex ""] i guess yea or even just in the menu or something just put a little icon that updates itself with RTTP team number and rank/score then just make it a hotlink. people will get curious. |
| _________________________________ [Jul 28,2007 3:29pm - sxealex ""] or to the left of the add just a tiny badge |

| ___________________________________ [Jul 30,2007 8:07pm - rev_wunh ""] ok, I just found Administrator.. I was wrong, it's a p4 3.12Ghz at WUNH. I just changed the name so that administrator will be going down. |
| ________________________________ [Aug 1,2007 7:27pm - sxealex ""] im catching up with my army of tiny processors |
| _____________________________________ [Aug 1,2007 7:46pm - the_reverend ""] will have to look when I get home |
| ________________________________ [Aug 9,2007 4:29pm - sxealex ""] muahaha im beating xax next stop the WORLD |
| ______________________________________ [Jan 31,2008 7:26pm - the_reverend ""] not anymore. my PS3, a computer at WUNH, a computer at work, xax, then you. I just installed windows on my TV (since ubuntu isn't installing) and started up F@H. revTV will be tearing up the charts! |

| ______________________________________ [Aug 24,2008 5:52pm - the_reverend ""] have you seen the SLI'd GPU's they hooked up? like 50 cards all crunching proteins |
| _________________________________________ [Aug 24,2008 5:54pm - sxealexeexexex ""] naw.. but i have an sli board with two 8800s but i use linux on that compy and there is no gpu client for linux :-/ |
| _________________________________________ [Aug 24,2008 5:56pm - sxealexeexexex ""] just bought this http://boston.craigslist.org/gbs/sys/805666790.html |
| _________________________________________ [Aug 24,2008 5:57pm - sxealexeexexex ""] only bought it cuz I thought it was a good deal... and plus i have no more analog from RCN so I can use the hd card with antennae |
