I often wish I could have access to the computers in just ONE lab over here... how do you think ~1000 Opteron servers would do for this push?

Did I mention that is just from 1 lab?

I hate to pay that electric bill...

Haha! no joke!
Now that I am living in at apartment, I am afraid to bring my desktop over... I think my future cruncher's will be laptops haha.

On another note, I wonder how many people can have a computer operating system like this?
Operating SystemMicrosoft Windows Vista

Just reached the 100k mark for Malaria, currently -since 09-09-2010- 12th on the list for AMD users, hope to reach the 11th place on 10-10-2010, unless sentient_life comes awake before that day.

Congrats on the 100k Dirk!

I hope someday to reach it, but I can't tell when... a guy like me that loves to try out every new project, but that has very little resources (only 2 PCs running) can't stretch in all directions. Hopefully MalariaControl will stick around for a long while to give me enough time to get there.

Another milestone: after re-calculations, due to the credit-craze of last week, I suddenly find myself in the better part of the rankings: I passed the 1000-mark. I had none of the "super-credit WUs", so I did not lose credit as others have. Strange feeling, first dropping more than 100 places a day, despite giving more effort, and then suddenly gaining some 500 places.

That's strange... what's been going on at Malaria Control?

[Dirk Broer]

There has been a lot of Malaria WU that gave way too much credit (40,000 points for a WU, even some AMD users got some) and they decided to re-calculate all profit since way back when. I do Malaria since 11 Dec 2009, and at first went down some 100+ plces a day, when people with huge credits -accumulated in one or two WUs- soared past me. After I had dropped from #1000 to #1500 or so they did a rough first recalculation, and I found myself on #873 or so. Then They decided that it was not good, and went back to square one, and I was left with 63 credits and a #40,000 or so. Now I have almost all my credits back, at a reasonable level and at a reasonable position. The only thing wrong now is the ETC (Estimated Time of Completion) for the Malaria WUs, which I have to edit manually in my client_state.xml. I receive them now as 87.600,00 hour WUs, but complete them in 1.5 hour.

Congratulations to Meshmar!

He is the second (thanks Liuqyn) team member to hit the 1 million mark with MalariaControl@Home (after not-active-at-this-moment Chris Icide) and our present active leader in this project.

except for Chris Icide who had 4.5 mil. still nice job.
