Thanks. I have about 40 years to go to get to 100 years. I will be sticking to it until we get this under control. The 100 year badge is nice, but is not the reason I crunch. It is almost my main priority right now. I have one machine which is running 1 MIP unit per 24 threads, because for some reason it started to throw some errors if it was running all 24 threads on OPN. I agree that this disease can be quite devastating for some, while barely affecting others. The sooner we get a handle on this dirty rat the better off we will be. The ultimate goal is to get as many people vaccinated as possible, bu we will still need some viable drug options for those who do get affected. In addition, since this thing is mutating, we need to learn as much as possible about it to help mitigate any further damage it may cause in the future.
The more we know about viruses in general can also help us when the next unknown virus may make the jump from animal to human. It will take a lot of work to try to stay one jump ahead of any of these infectious agents.
It would be nice to hear from mclaver once in a while, but he lets his machines do the talking for him. He must have quite the setup, not to mention quite the electric bill. We certainly do appreciate his efforts.
Cheers

Fortunately, mclaver has his clients made public. You can see his client list and the hardware specs (click the client link), here

Yes. There are a few teams from MN on Folding@home but this one is most closely aligned with our team name here at WCG, and features a few of the members from here as well, including me.

I almost had a deal for a dual Xeon E5-2450 for about $200, but missed out on it. That would have been a good replacement for my dual X5650. I am going to keep looking.
Cheers

Thanks Sgt. Joe.

While points are not the reason we crunch, it's nice to have some metrics and satisfaction as to the work being done. Looking forward to continuing the computing fight for the betterment of human kind. Good day.
