Stats scoring...In case you're wondering :)

Vijay posted how the new stats were calculated.

The number is a real number, so if it takes 36 hours, the score will
be 1.5.

So the amount of wu's depends on how many hours it takes to finish them?

that seems kinda weird....

I think that is talking about the score. There are two numbers by your name, wu, and score. So the score depends on how long it takes to do the wu.
Im just not sure how the score is calculated.

It looks to me like the score is NOT based on the amount of time it take YOU to do it, but rather the amount of time it would take a reference machine to do it (in this case a PII 400).

So, they determine that the most simple protein takes 2 days on that machine and they score that as a 1. More complex proteins are worth more than one.

That's how I read it. Speed would not matter since you may be able to do 2 simple proteins worth 1 WU each in the same time it takes you to do 1 complex protein that is worth 2.

I was just looking at our team stats and based on the scores I am wondering what some people are folding with. I have 4 wu, and score 5. I am using 3 machines the two work machines are a P4 1.4 and P3 866, then my Tbird @1230. My Tbird finished one of the 20 frame protiens in 4 hours last night while it took the P4 7 hours to finish the same (or similar 20 frame) protien.
Based on that I am guessing my score is higher than wu because of the Tbird. So back to my original question, Sickboy has the largest ratio of wu:score, actually a 50% increase. Well, im kind of babling here, but it will be interesting interpreting scores.

I'm currently folding on 4 machines

Duron@869
P3@500
P133
P120@133 (woohoo!!!)

It's not clear to me that the two fossils will reliably complete their work in the minimum time. The second one seems to be going just fast enough on a 200 frame WU. But the P133 is lagging too far on a 100 frame. If there were someway to ensure that they got the quick units, They would probably work. I'm going to try to install on a couple other machines at work, they won't be speed demons, but every bit helps.

Any ideas what the slowest viable macintosh folder is?

What is a macintosh? LOL.

:D

Where do you get Team Ranking Stats like we used to get so I can tell how we are doing as compared to the other teams. Kind of stinks to only get what place our team is from our Team stats page.

stats can be found at:

then, about half way down, click on user stats, or team stats.
