Folding Race?

I don't have much folding right now, but I'm game.
But if Yves is entering all his Xeons under the Intel side then it's not gonna be very fair!!

okay...

So let's do an Intel Versus AMD battle

We can start it on the 15th... so make sure your systems are up and running before that date so the workunits are in full production by the time the race starts.

post which team you will be folding for and how many systems you will have running.

Apop were gonna have to do some balancing so that the PPD are even.

But nevertheless, 3 Systems, 1 820D, and 1 PIII, and 1 Dothan Laptop

dicecca112 -348 ppd - Team Intel - 3 rigs
pcrobot -20 pdd - Team AMD - ? rigs
infinitevalance -1230 ppd
Immortal -32 pdd
Apoptosis - 96 ppd
Dragon_Cooler - 398 ppd
KnightRid -663 ppd - Team AMD - ? rigs
bigblockMatt -317 ppd - Team Intel - 3 (?) rigs
hainer86 -157 pdd
Illumanti -412 ppd
gvblake22 -94 pdd

currently
AMD - 683ppd
Intel - 665ppd

Like I said in another post, if we can't balance it, we do this. We take the difference in PPD between the teams and subtract that amount times the length of the contest from the final totals

Ex.

Say the teams are setup as above, with AMD ahead by 18ppd, and the contest runs for a month. The final points totals, say come out to 500,000 to 300,000. (AMD in the lead in this case). 18ppd *31 days is 558. So we subtract 558 form AMD and the final score would be 499,442 to 300,000

Eventually I'll get this into a spreadsheet for everyone, with weekly graphs to see who is in the lead.

Like Apop said, this is could start Saturday April 15th. But for all parties involved I would personally like it to start the following Friday (April 22), seeing us college kids have easter break, well at least I do, and the rig will be down for 5 days. Can't keep it running 24/7 at home, dad gets mad over the electric bill, and I don't wanna disadvantage my team

Since it be damn near impossible to figure out ppd for those running both types, you gotta choose a side. I'm gonna take the stats straight from EOC website.

Apop I know you said you were gonna get some machines online for the race, can you give me an estimate on your PPD? It wouldn't be fair to put you on a team and then have your ppd spike to 400s or so from 96.

Don't get me wrong guys, the more borgs you can get to help your team the better. When we did this over at OCforums, we gained a ton of users and borgs, and it was a damn close race, my team ended up losing by like 200points in the final hours.

Once teams are decided, Smack Talking is encouraged, well in the bounds of the forum rules over course

i got one FX53 and one P4 2.4C folding... but my FX53 hasnt turned in a WU yet.... so yeah my ppd score is lower than what it should b! :p

well out of my 6 or 7 machines 4 of them are AMD. I dont know if that will have an effect on it or not.

infinitevalence · Post by **infinitevalence** » Tue Apr 11, 2006 12:19 pm

i only have one AMD system folding most of mine are dual xeons, so i guess im intel if its an AMD vs Intel... but i think i would sit that one out to make things fair.

Post by **Illuminati** » Tue Apr 11, 2006 12:29 pm

I have a 2.6GHz, 2.8GHz, and 3.0GHz Intel systems folding.... but the 2.8GHz is my work PC and is only folding outside of business hours or days I take off.

bigblockmatt · Post by **bigblockmatt** » Tue Apr 11, 2006 1:02 pm

is this gonna go for a length of time or just forever?

hainer36 · Post by **hainer36** » Tue Apr 11, 2006 1:31 pm

oh btw, my folding stats may be going up alot more than 157ppd, as the main rig and buddies rigs are not included on that atm

Post by **Apoptosis** » Tue Apr 11, 2006 1:34 pm

My output will go up because I'll turn the test bench systems on 24/7 and fold with them... I'll go either Intel or AMD where I am needed.

Post by **Apoptosis** » Tue Apr 11, 2006 1:35 pm

we need to make a new thread titled "AMD versus Intel Folding Challange" and get the teams worked out.

I have 1 rig folding, an AMD Athlon 3200+.

Immortal · Post by **Immortal** » Tue Apr 11, 2006 4:28 pm

just like to mention i dont fold 24/7 or anywhere near that to be honest.
Usually 12-15 hours a day...

guys, I may have to not hold the reigns for this project for a couple days. Dad's in the hospital, nothing serious, just I rather focus on that right now. I'll be back in a couple days, if Apop wants to spearhead this I got no grips, just put me on the Intel team, and I'll be all set

hainer36 · Post by **hainer36** » Tue Apr 11, 2006 7:35 pm

forgot to say, 4 or 5 rigs, for intel

Hope your Dad gets well soon!
