Come and Help With Some Folding

Now, what does that mean?
With one bound (i.e one work unit, worth 587 points), you and your iMac have leapt to position 105 in the TeamCFC league table. If you fold one of those work units every two days you'll be running at a rate of around 300 points per 24 hours, and that will put you in the top ten producers for the team, as listed here.
PS In fact, you are already there. They just updated the page, and your single work unit, averaged over seven days, already puts you at number nine. Such is the power of your CPU

Wow, those of us with PCs are soon going to be overtaken by the Mac users, the speed difference is phenomenal!
Come on Mac users - show us PC users how it's done!

Hey Dojo! What's up? Four days since your first unit, and nothing since?
I notice you said your system *does* sleep? That would stop it folding, andprobably mean your deadlines will expire. Mine never sleep.

All of my rigs have run full speed 24 hours a day for the last 7 years. I don't run dc projects on laptops, but everything else works hard. I think it is better for the processor since it is always the same temperature, no thermal stress from cooling off and warming back up.

Well, I'm only sleeping the display now. But, I've not had any more units begin. Is there something I need to do to "restart" the process?
What does the log say?
It's at ~/Library/Folding@home/FAHlog.txt. If you view it in a Console window and scroll to the bottom, you'll keep the end of the log in view.

It says I've got work on-going. When does it update?

It updates every time it finishes 1% of its work.
[18:04:46] Writing local files

[20:00:05] Writing local files
[20:00:05] Completed 2000000 out of 50000000 steps (4)
The times are GMT. So in this case it is updating about once an hour. I think most of the SMP work happens way faster.

My G4 tower finishes 1% every 2.3 hours. My Mac Pro finishes 1% every 5.5 minutes. The work units they are doing are worth about 400 and 600 points respectively.

Here's what I got as of right now.
But, on the CFC team page, nothing has changed.
Edit: Well, now it has. Hmph!

The Folding@Home stats are updated at intervals. After you finish a work unit it typically takes 30 minutes or more for it to show up there. There are also some more analytical stats pages on the Extreme Overclocking site, but these are only refreshed every three hours or so.
Right now, though, your two work units have taken you to position seven on the top 20 producers list

http://fahstats.com/usum.php?u=889494 takes you to your own page where it shows the last units you worked on - judging by your log you are due for another one in the next update!
That page is derived from the main Stanford data as far as I know, so until you appear on Stanford's progress page there's no point looking anywhere else.
Dojo's third unit has appeared, by the way, so he's now folding over 600 points per day

He will average in excess of 1000 points per day based on the actual times of folding - putting him as comfortably the 3rd fastest folder in the team! - any of you ther mac users care to try?
As you say, Dojo's rate is 1% of a 600+ point work unit every 10 minutes or so. That comes out to close to 1000 points per day.
Half a dozen more iMacs and Mac Pro's, each turning in that kind of level, would DOUBLE our total team rate.
C'mon, guys. You're wasting CPU cycles! Get Folding

20 gahst7 56 9,107Dojoboy has just overtaken me after little more than a week of dedicated folding, I have been folding for about 3 months! Notice the 2 macs are in positions 2 and 4 in terms of rate. Igloo dude has a whole office full of PC's, and he's not folding that much faster than Alan!

I set up my old eMac, G4, to fold as well. So, my totals are skewed in this respect.
