That was over the weekend just after the update was released (when F&H came with a hairs breath of a petaflop).
Since then a lot of ps3 users have either stopped folding or only fold for a short period in a day.. so the FLOPS rating has decreased accordingly.
Current total is 616 tflops with PS3 contributing 56% of that, from 26,500 active contributors (as a data point 2 million PS3 users have submitted work so the retention rate is low - most people seem to use it for a day then stop).
Still very impressive... and of course a worthy cause (it's worth looking at the published papers list.. lots of stuff I couldn't understand there but definately results happening).
Dont change your name - I learnt the hard way - it doesnt update on the site (so if youve done 5 WUs and change your name, it will list your new name on the list and show 1 WU) I did 1 as "RupertGiles", then changed my name to my AVForums name "russd1978" and it had two entries one from each!Doh!
I see what you mean about the retention rate overall, I hope people keep contributing. I am going to try and leave mine on over night every night if I can.
It really shows how much more of a bargain the PS3 is, and that it is beating PC's with Dual Core and Quad Core CPU's in
@ russd1978 What if the first post was posted up with, what donors have PS3's. Anyway guys I have spread the word about this team in my blog on GameSpot.
@ harrisuk Enjoy the power bill Harris, but I wonder how many kilowatts you will have used in power on your next power bill.
It really is nice to use the console to try and give something back - It also helps us as a community too so it really is win win!!
