Roger that, we have a heartbeat!
95,500 points today at the noon checkpoint. Assuming that's not a fluke and if we can improve on it anyway, we'll be able to net a million points every 5-6 days.
ROWAR!

mattshwink wrote:if you want a core for GPU, then you can do -smp 7 and leave a "virtual core" for the GPU. This is what my 875K will be configured.The i5 is online, but behaving a little strangely. It has a 5xxx GPU, that sucked up everything and was getting nothing out of the CPU. So I removed the GPU and the CPU started working, but was only taxing total CPU at 50%. So I set the slots manually 1-4. I think I may still have to turn affinity on.
BIF wrote:BTW, I think the bonus points are based on "how much early" you return the WU. The earlier, the more points. The later, the fewer points. I get a lower bonus (it seems) if I shut down folding to play 6 hours of Civ V.
Khali wrote:Going by my very rough calculations, adding up the points in the last 24 hour period, we are currently about 80k points short of what we need each day to make it to 20 million points for the month. Not to mention what ever short fall we had the first few days. I forgot to write down how many points Frankie had before we got started so I am not sure what we have officially added up to this point.
I think there are still a few people switching systems over so hopefully we will have some increase in our point production.
