Bump. Only two of us (myself and perikifi) have already got to top 25% of recent average credit (with 3 machines contributing each). Why not contribute yours. See here: https://g05.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1704470

I've spin up some VPS'es to see if I can catch up with you guys! :-P

Threw in some semi-serious gaming hardware today, but can't see any GPU usage.

But your stats get updated at least. I've been running for 5 hours, but still no update in credits.

Folding@Home is biased towards GPU and Rosetta@Home is biased toward CPU workloads. F@H is pretty disorganized and I found their local management tools to be less mature, but they also do good work. F@H is also having trouble keeping up with supply — there is plenty to work on, but their servers can't dish it out fast enough and so machines end up idling a lot.

So what I've done is install both and used some of the config in both to share the time. Basically, if F@H has workload, I bias towards that and otherwise run R@H. I created an F@H Bimmerpost team as well (team number: 243241), but my primary F@H contributions have been a different team (work-related), so I have nothing on Bimmerpost F@H.

Something to consider doing.

The credits are from a NUC running since LexxM3 first posted about this. Each workload seems to take 6 to 8 hours so you'll get there soon

Lol, that explains... I've never been the patient type.

It's been a decade or more since I participated in Rosetta@home. Thanks for the reminder.

I started with SETI@home, probably 20 years ago. Coincidentally, the project will be shut down a week from today.

BTW: be sure to go into Advanced view in BOINC Manager and select the Tasks tab!

[ikheetleon]

Nice to see some more people joining. Great stuff!

[LexxM3]

So we've got 7 Bimmerpost members contributing now, although 1 seems to be stalled a bit so only 6 are on the charts. That relatively small group is now in top 20% of teams contributing to Rosetta@Home in the world! I am solidly in the middle of our pack, easily outrun by 2 of our European members (but all 3 of us are individually in the top 5% of all individual contributors in the world!). Point is, even a small number of people can make an impressive difference.

https://www.boincstats.com/stats/14/team/detail/19111

Join now, let's get to top 10% (which actually is a much harder step than 20% :-), but let's aim high).

[ikheetleon]

I will see if I can spin up some more vps’es. Need to get that nr1 spot in the team. ;-)

[perikifi]

No more new tasks, scheduler is down for the whole project since this morning. Let's see what's up.

Update: we're running again.

[perikifi]

Can't get enough tasks again. One PC is with 0 tasks, one with just 2. Even 'Reset project' does not help, and the web site counts of running tasks are all confused. Gonna lose my top spot!

[ikheetleon]

I doubled the cpu's in all vps'es an added two more vps'es. That nr1 spot was already under serious attack.

[ikheetleon]

Our team is in top 5% now!

Yap ... and you personally are in the top 1% of all individual contributors :-).

Nicely done by everyone so far. Would be great for more people and their computers to join, as this is with "only" 6 active members contributing computer time.

Problem is that there is little to no work atm. 85% of my CPU's are idle and waiting for new tasks.

[LexxM3]

Update 2020-04-19: As of yesterday, Team Bimmerpost is ranked 128 by RAC metric ("Recent Average Credit") out of a little over 3000 active teams and today we moved up to 120th position. In other words, we are solidly in the 5th-percentile and that's with just 6 active members (7th member has only idled so far)! Our top two members are individually in the 1st-percentile.

So, let's get off the bench and join the computation effort. Link to information in first post.

[Pictor]

This is very cool indeed. I'm surprised that I made the Top 25% running 80% of my CPU's at 60% of the CPU time on my iMac. My laptop is not doing as much since it's also my primary work machine but it's contributing nonetheless. Every little bit helps.

[ikheetleon]

Good you mention it LexxM3 ! I see I need to step up my game to maintain the 1st position. perikifi has silently stepped up his game big time. Will throw in some more VPS'es this week. ;-)
