Folding@Home over 2 Petaflops again and this time not stopping there

With the recent release of a GPU2 beta client for NVIDIA graphics cards, the OS Stats has soared ~250 Teraflops to a total project power of ~ 2.2 Petaflops!

The combined GPU stats (a GPU2 client already existed for ATI cards) now sit at around 450 Teraflops... Not bad for only ~4,000 active GPU folders. The good thing to see is that the project now has over 310,000 active folders, edging closer to 320,000.

Hopefully with more and more clients of different hardware compatibility, the project can accumulate more participants, push progress, and result in new research papers being released.

Congrats to Vijay's Folding@Home development team for the release of this latest client and also to those who are currently folding with a graphics card.

Points Milestone - Aussie Rules Footy - 500k

Aussie Rules Footy has just cracked the 500,000 points milestone!!!

Building strongly since November 2006, the team now sits inside the top 2,000 teams for all-time. Pretty impressive when you consider there is now over 125,000 teams! Exact position - 1,916th of 125,628 teams, with 2,411 work units returned, total of 501,636 points rewarded.

The 1,000,000 point milestone should be less than 12 months away now, with much more points being churned out from some more 'active' folders in the team. Team PPD (Points Per Day) figures now average atleast 2,000 PPD with regular figures of 3,000 PPD.

Hopefully recruitment wise we can get a couple of SMP client-running members, and possibly some GPU folders for some big PPD figures. More and more active folders would be the biggest help though, and hopefully some come on board or start back up for us. I wouldn't mind putting together some sort of 2nd Team Birthday recruitment drive in November. We'll see how we go.

Recently achieved Milestones

Just as of yesterday Aussie Rules Footy achieved a team-ranking milestone for moving into the top 2,000 teams of all-time, which is a pretty good effort considering there is now over 120,000 teams listed in the official stats.

Back on the 18th May, the team actually achieved a milestone for Work Units, returning over 2,000 WUs since the team started back in November 2006.

It will not be long now before the team reaches a points milestone of 500,000. We're folding at a rate of ~2,000PPD (points per day) and will be very happy to see such a milestone achieved.

Going about a month back on the 29th April, my Playstation 3 - smASHer88_PS3 which pretty much folds 24/7 (advanced mode of course) achieved a points milestone of 100,000! I only got my PS3 on Boxing Day in '07 (26th December), so its achieved 100,000 points in 4 months = 25,000 points/month. Can't complain with that. On the 10th May it also achieved a milestone for Work Units, with over 500 being returned.

I gotta thank Ravenge5, my Canadian team mate as he's been pushing real hard with his PS3, clocking up points just as quick as my unit and he already past his 50,000 point milestone a while ago, sittin up round 70k points now. Good stuff mate.
