We’ve been overwhelmed with the support we’re getting from new Donors.
Several servers ran out of WU’s overnight. The issue is being addressed as fast as the project’s owner can get to it. Unfortunately the server(s) may have to be taken off-line while the new WUs are being generated.
Hi folks! Our poor work servers are straining under the load from all of you amazing folks contributing your spare computing cycles. We’re actively working to spin up more servers on our end to handle the load, but please bear with us—it may take another day or two before we can fully scale up to handle the load.
I’ve been Folding At Home forover a decade, all the way back to the SETI project, and I have NEVER witnessed FAH’s servers either running OUT of work projects, or struggling to keep up with the server load like they are now. It’s just CRAZY how many people are joining, and many due to COVID-19.
You don’t have to have a super computer to help out, and it’s free and easy to get setup. If you have anyone who’s got a laptop, or computer (or mac), they can ALL help out. Spread the word, and/or fire up that computer sitting in your home, and start PULLING with TEAM ELR !!!
ELR’s Conquest/Threat board is still looking good. Our only threats are weeks, or months behind us. Let’s get some MORE ELR’ers on board, and keep pulling some serious folding freight !!!
In the case of the Oak Ridge Leadership Computing Facility’s newest leadership-class system, Summit, the answer is in the architecture. Summit, an IBM AC922 system, links more than 27,000 NVIDIA Volta GPUs with more than 9,000 IBM Power9 CPUs to provide unprecedented opportunities for the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and scientific discovery.
We have now, not only cracked the 1200 barrier, but we have crossed the 200M threshold as well, and are showing no signs of slowing. The closer we get to the top, the heavier the load becomes, and we can always use more members volunteering. Personally I’ve been getting nothing BUT COVID work units, which are hot and heavy. If you’d like to join the fight, and help pull for Team ELR, we’d be glad to have you. It’s free, easy, and a great way to team up for ELR.
We got some heavies coming after us, and we need ALL the help we can get !!!

We should be able to drum up some more people to help the scientists! 
We broke the 1300 barrier! 
It seems our “true” placement is around 900 or something?
