Any projects need a helping hand?

[pfb]

I'm back onto BOINC (specifically Rosetta) after experiencing deteriorating results with F@H.

Are there any projects that FreeDC need some help with or shall I stay at 100% on Rosetta and see if I can overtake myself

There's quite a lot of BOINC projects where our standing isn't good but there is no project more worthy of our CPU cycles than Rosetta.

Over the coming months I hope to be putting a little bit back there myself.

If you do that you will not know if you coming or going But you will get to wave the in a Mirror as you pass

The CASP conference just wrapped up so they should be posting the full analysis soon. I think their preliminary results showed they were one of the best again.

SIMAP has got plenty of work at the moment and we could do with a hand to improve on our ranking (currently #47).

I've put SIMAP back on a couple of clients - every little helps

Ah we have a Tesco worker in F-DC :P well they do say "every little helps!"
sorry pfb just had to say that..

Could also apply "Try something new today" as well

True, Very True... But I'm not "Posh" enough to shop there...

[Petey]

Who is 'Posh' enough anymore?

Thanks for the help pfb, much appreciated.

M&S or Waitrose is posh - Sainsburys is faux posh in my books

[gopher_yarrowzoo]

True, me I'm more "Asda" than "Sainsbury's" given I know where it all is, it's easier to get to etc.. I don't need to walk 5 miles to get around the place either as the one nearest me from memory was pretty big and had a crazy layout.

Nice. I'm interested to know how they compared against other BOINC projects who entered, like POEM@home.

The results are available here:
http://predictioncenter.org/casp8/results.cgi

Summary statistics on the performance of all groups in CASP8:
http://prodata.swmed.edu/CASP8/evalu...score.html#top

They are kind of hard to read but from what I can make of it, Rosetta's overall score was higher than any other group, POEM ranked 75 out of 166 and there were 3 groups that worse scores than just randomly guessing.

Aah, I wondered why I couldn't find Rosetta, didn't realise it was under DBAKER. Wow, that really puts Rosetta in its place (way ahead) then.

[pfb]

Interesting to see the CAPS results - forgot about that happening otherwise I would've switched earlier

Anyway - settled on a 45/45/10 split between Rosetta, SIMAP and Aqua so should get some crunching done over the christmas break

The December batch at SIMAP is exhausted - there won't be any more work until January now.

Got around 4-5 days work in most of the buffers according to BoincView so just see what happens...
