Toconator's latest activity

How magnanimous of you to nominate him when you're coming up on him [H]ard! ;) I'll second the nom ...

AI machine learning (AlphaFold) and how it may help to assist protein folding research. Quote from the FAH website here: "structures predicted with AlphaFold are sufficiently accurate that we can use them as starting points for our work even when...

Almost there to 13B... been folding since high school, the good old days.

Well, after 8+ years of contribution to WCG, I manage to sneak into the top 100 point contributors per free-DC stat. The gpu OPNG tasks certainly help to achieve this goal quickly. With cpu tasks, it will take a long long time, lol.

Congratulations Toconator, you are a worthy adversary! :cool:

Idaho eh? Not too far from me and probably similiar climate. Was working out in the field about an hour out of Grande Prairie for awhile, followed by a trip to Lloydminster which is east of and only as far north as Edmonton then down to Moose...

Well I finally made it to 100K. Personal goal of mine the last couple months and it actually feels like a bit of an accomplishment with PPD being so high on GPU's these days. Not holding a candle to the legendary beekeeper (who's still active...

Hey thx folks and it has been 20 years, all for the [H]. First folding record is Jan 2004 after I switched from the SETI screen saver to FAH on a Pentium 4. THE Pentium 4 - 3.06 GHz with hyperthreading. King of the hill back then. Of course...

Forgot to take a screenshot, but passed Grampa (siq) yesterday. Felt weird.

LoL. It was snowing Tuesday when you posted and a bit Wed morning but only a couple inches. Warmed up to just over freezing and the sun came out in the afternoon and melted most of it. Wind has a bite to it tho. Worked up north for a couple...

Is EXT64 eligible? 4.3M WCG results is worthy of nomination.

Ironically enough, the CPU that I was going to throw at F@H wasn't netting any PPD worth the electricity compared to even very old and/or low-end GPUs. The CPU is now being used for CPU-only tasks in PrimeGrid. F@H is really only worth it for...

I don't normally run F@H on CPUs except during things like the event in January. I'll run BOINC stuff on them from time to time, mostly when a little extra heat is nice. The 6750xt was the main reason I stopped running F@H. A year ago it was...

Yeah, fair enough and you're damn right about the WU's. After posting my observation lo and behold it grabbed a core 22 unit and PPD were back to 1.2 - 1.3M. My other cards show a minor reduction on core 23 WU's but don't drop off the cliff...

Well thx SmokeRngs, nice to see you're still around and hear from ya again. And yes CPU folding is a luxury if you can take the power bill pain as GPU's are where the PPD has been for years. There's always been 'downward creep' the last few...

Not sure if it's a problem with the 1660 Super or what but PPD seems way down on these WU's. Getting less than half what I was usually getting at only ~400K-ish PPD . Been considering a 4060 for power draw/performance reasons for the farm but...

Thx, and yeah I've been keeping an eye on that. Thinking of keeping everything folding until I reach it if the weather stays cool enuff (Even after Red Falcon mows me). Calling for another cold snap along with snow this evening so that'll buy...

Gratz!

Yes although for some reason the OC thats been rock solid on the old 3770K system since day 1 has become unstable as well as the XMP 2133 RAM speed. Set it all to defaults for now as I recover a drive that was accidentally initialized and...

Just you wait! I got my RTX 3070 back online since cold weather has returned, and will be getting a few more CPUs and GPUs going later this week as well. Glad to have you back, and nice work getting everything back online. You have been more...
