finally top 5 in Sweden in Folding at home

Intro

I’ve had this setup running for almost a year now, chugging away to move forward on the Sweclockers-foldingteam, demolishing contributors as I go. This was originally a move to solve that I had become fed up with my sporadic usage of Google Colaboratory (until the service was changed and any prolonged GPU usage was denied. My testing of Vast.ai (works but nah) and runpod.io (more of the same so nah) were stopped after some trial runs)

I finally landed on that I needed a dedi server somewhere, and Hostkey fit the bill with their RTX 4090 offering..

What now?

Well, it appears that I have a couple of more weeks until I’ve claimed the 4th spot unless something happens like a hardware or DC-failure or an apocalypse.

It will take some time to reach the number 1 slot. But what then….? What am I supposed to do after getting to the number 1 folder-slot in Sweden? Stay there? Re-use the hardware for folding, and other stuff? Downgrade? Move on? I’ll see when I get there.

Needless to say I need to document the build in the near future and I’ll try to make it into a post by itself.

Until then, cheers!
