An Odyssee in Space:team @Codeberg is now at rank 2001 with #foldingAtHome – breaking through the 2k mark expected for Sunday 🥳

We're now in the area where the "heavy folders" live. The mark where we get the next higher rank ("Top 1k rated team") is most likely out of reach for us, unless some lively folders join our team (we're currently just 3 active members). Members welcome:

@jrp Yes, it is. Supports medical science. My clients currently are running mostly tasks for cancer research, but there are also tasks for Alzheimer and others. Each client gets a piece to process (called a "work unit"), the next WU when done – and their servers combine the results. The entire network thus makes up a kind of "super computer".

There are comparable projects such as BOINC, so you can take your pick if you want.

@IzzyOnDroid ✅ I am doing Boinc, on worldcommunitygrid.org - it is unsatisfying since quite some time. I've some old laptops doing only this, preferably on their GPUs. Anything else (e.g just CPU work) seems inffective. Mostly not working on WCG, lack of WU for GPU there. Ar your results open knowledge/patent-free?

jaa eigentlich hatte ich jetzt kein Upgrade geplant aber mein
#SteamDeck Gerät doch bei gerade großen AAA Titel an seine Grenzen, da nehm ich wohl doch nochmal "eine Generation" Upgrade "erstmal" mit, und da Upgrades auf AM5 + 4000er Generation vermutlich wieder ein paar Jahre halten werden, denke ich kann ich von AM4 (2600er) + 1060er auf AM5 7000er + 4000er Generation Upgraden schon mal noch machen. Vor allem ist das "preislich" "noch" okay.
