Over the weekend TSA’s folding team climbed above 1,500 in the global rankings. It took us a couple of weeks longer than we had hoped but we have finally passed that milestone.  At the time of writing, according to the F@H website, we are ranked 1,498th out of a total of 169,922 registered teams.

Our 104 (named) members have completed 6,383 individual Folding@Home work units which give us a score of 1,823,763.  Special mention to our top 2 members markwijnants and sonicsteve who have contributed almost 10% of our total each, 623 and 615 WU respectively.

The next milestone for our team is reaching a score of 2,000,000.  With an average score so far of 286 per work unit that target is only 616 work units away.  That is only 6 units per team member.  With a little effort we may even be able to reach that in time for the January update.

For more information on Folding@Home and how you can join our efforts see December’s update.  If you are already a member thanks for your help so far and keep folding.

  1. I’ve started to contribute to the tsa folding at home tally, but I’m not sure if I need to let you guys know my psn id to fully join?

    If so, I’m shields_t.


    • You’re in and your first credited unit is include in the tally. :) Welcome aboard.


      • Yay, thanks!


  2. Top stuff, Greg, and congrats to all concerned. I’m still banging away with my PC and PS3 so fingers crossed we stick it to diseases in general. Also, I’ll be upgrading my machine in a few months time and will make sure it’s a ‘Folding’ beast if I can help it.


  3. I think I finally got my config optimized on my PC so I am ready for some serious ‘folding’! We are looking pretty good considering there are almost 170,000 teams!


  4. I’ve also just joined TSA’s team, as of Saturday, and contributed a few WUs… hopefully managed to post my join request in the right forum. Cheers!


  5. i’ll have to make my spreadsheet publicly available to view.


  6. I will keep folding but there some games on its way to my PS3 and maybe it will affect my folding time ;)


  7. I joined your team when it first started but I’m on my third PS3 since and forgot to re-join your team.
    Will do next time I fire-up the black box.
