Scheduled to reach 2 million credits for Rosetta alone on Nov 6

Duly achieved, a day late due to an unexpected unattended shutdown for a few days on my main system. Oh for the early days of about 70pts a day - I never imagined I'd get here.

Wow! What timing!! ONE MILLION Rosetta@home credits right on year-end! 6 years and one day from when I joined the effort.

Thanks to all that make this collaboration of crowd-sourcing and public participation in science possible. May the new year bring faster CPUs, lower power consumption, and a population of users that value the good of the project over any perceived potential risks to their computer.

I just passed 50,000!

Cruising for the 500,000 for the team :-)

SIX YEAR ANNIVERSARY TODAY!!!!!!!!

Just got an email yesterday saying: "You've been chosen as the Rosetta@home user of the day!" Yay! :D

There are 10 types of people in the world:
Those who understand binary, and those who don't.

Crazy to think that it's been almost three years since I last posted in this topic but I just noticed that I've recently hit (and passed) 200,000 credits!

Yay, just hit the two million mark.

Yay, just hit the two million mark.

congrats

Out of 354500 participants, ranked at 739, Club Quirk has past the 3 million credit mark, and almost at the 3 million credit mark myself at the moment (maybe in the next month or two I'll pass it). YAY!

Reached #3 spot in RAC in the world!!! I have recently added 4 new intel t7500 processors to the mix, and hope to take the #2 spot..

7 Years working for rosetta@home<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< :)

repost from number_crunching - 7+ boinc client thread:
i'm using boinc-client 7.0.36 x86_64 on opensuse linux
running R@H on a i7 4771 intel cpu (no opencl)
i'd just like to say that running R@H jobs on intel recent haswell cpus seemed to do pretty well. R@H is quite heavy in terms of resources i've seen about 3gigs of disk usage for 8 concurrent jobs (it gets cleaned up after that), about 400 megs of virtual mem per job. it seemed to be somewhat network bandwidth heavy as well the downloads are perhaps say 2-10 megs per job. not sure about the uploads though.
i'd think these resources are decent for the effort given that we are after all solving complex and large problems for each job. these are not simple 'easy' molecules after all.

all in it's still a worthwhile endeavor to participate
what may be suggested due to the resource requirements may be that if you are keen to run R@H, equip the PC with lots of *RAM* (i've installed some 16 Gigs), have adequate spare disk space e.g. allow some 3-5 Gigs for R@H (this is less of a problem these days given the average sized low costs disks easily come in Terabyte sizes ) and a *fast* cpu :o :p :D

i tend to run it during the 'lull' periods e.g. at night. hence, u may like to invest in 'quiet' cpu cooling solutions. i used one of those aftermarket 'tower' cpu coolers from coolermaster e.g. http://www.coolermaster.com/cooling/hyper-series/hyper-212-evo/. there are also 'water cooling' solutions which i find rather expensive and i'm concerned about more maintenance issues. but the 'water coolers' could help in space constrained cases.

--------------
i'm not familar with open CL setups, however. i once tried litecoin mining and noted errors when graphic cards are heavily loaded. this caused various mining threads to fail (errors). hence open CL users on 7.2 and higher clients may like to examine such characteristics if it is a reason for affecting the stability of the jobs

cpu based runs for R@H is apparently pretty stable and the jobs downloaded mostly runs end to end with no errors and are submitted

just 2 cents comments
--------

started from nonexistent just this year to some 50% in boinc positions for the occasional rosetta@home runs :D

1 Milion!!

Hello all, first post here. Been crunching on Rosetta almost non-stop for five years. I've been celebrating each million-mark with a pizza party for my friends :) Here comes seven million!
