Page 82 - Folding Milestones Thread

Oh yeah. Now I am tempted to use the server's 5 quad core CPUs haha. But that's what i can't do. I can only run on the client's PC. Thanks anyway.

kinda hard to do...

Say pieces on a board, make each a pair with another piece.

like...

|55|33|66|
|44|66|55|
|33|44|22|
|22|11|11|

so figure out how a piece can move.

pick any piece, try to move it somewhere.
when you move a piece you have to move it's pair at the same time.
when you move to a piece it's pair has to move at the same time too.
a piece always becomes a pair with the piece it moves to.
no matter how many pairs, there's only one answer to how a piece can move.

A common problem type, I forget what it's called.

There's only one answer for how any piece can move.

A piece always goes where a piece leaves.

You can't move a piece that moves where the piece came from.

No such thing as a free space, a piece always moves to another piece.

A pair never moves to a pair.

A piece works out to move where another piece can get back to where a piece moves from.

so try this...

draw starting at each piece a line that shows the piece it moves to, and each piece to move for how a piece moves back
where it starts.

see this as a machine diagram.

move a piece then figure the machine diagram again, it's the same machine though...

see how every other piece moves another way now?

what happened for how the machine moved?

2,500,000 and climbing to the top

Well I'm about to start folding for the first time. Hoped I could get some support and some encouragement. After JohnFrank I want to quit before I try!

Definitely give it a go.

Then are planty of folders in our team who are on more reasonable points per day, here is the link we refer to a lot http://folding.extremeoverclocking.....php?s=&t=12912 for individuals points and progress and this is what the folding blue and golds are based on.

I started with one machine folding and have been lucky enough to fold on more.

I think it is a great cause, which is why I champion it a bit. We have a great team and you can get lots of support. Look in the devfolding forum on devhardware http://www.devhardware.com/forums/dev-folding-29/

If you are put off by me being one of the leaders for our team then I am sorry about that, but I have worked hard to earn these points for our team and contribute to the folding cause and I make no apologies for that.

Is there anything I can help you with now that you need to know to help get you started because we do want you folding

Just noticed I passed 30K... go me.

man, how many points are you getting per day?

Varies, fahmon tells me it is about 33,000 - 36,000 depending on WU's but it is more like around 28,000 - 34,000 except for yesterday I got 40,000+ (my daily record) and so today I will get a much lower score (current low record for the number of folders)

Ideally with current setup approx 33,000 ppd, 230,000 ppw 1,000,000 ppm 12,000,000 ppy but I am working on how I can do better

What place are you in the world?

At the moment 801 and climbing quickly.

To give you some persective our active folders (moves around 80 to 85 in all) range from worldwide position 734 to our newest active folder at position 240,000. That is out of 679,570 people that have attempted folding (and 591 of our dev community is or has at some time attempted folding at some time).

I only started folding in January. So my average ppd (points per day) moves me up the ladder quickly as I move up to my constant points position. That position at the moment is about 78th worldwide but it will take a long time to reach there and I expect things to change before I get there, but I will try to get better and I will stay loyal to our devfolding team.

I have built up my ppd in July (with the new GPU2 client) to where it is now.

There are plenty of other members having fun at their repsective contribution level - it is not about being the best it is about doing what you can and once you have been folding for a few weeks you will find forum friends similar in ppd and everyone supports each other.

Hope you are able to give it a try, but it is not something that you should take up lightly, the games and points we do are part of the basic reason to fold and that is to support the research being done.

Hmm what is the team name? Also I registered it with groundscape but do I have to wait for the next "run" for me being able to search for my username and my folding ID?
