Amazon started folding?

Post by alxbelu »

Sooo, "ec2spot" on team "AWSFolds" has over the last 24hrs generated 2,185,322,443 points, which for reference is just slightly shy of the total 24hr production of entire "Default" team at 2,705,420,809 points (with LTT team still a bit ahead at 4,315,013,746/24hr), and well ahead of PCMR at 786,690,985/24hr.

Anyone seen any official mention of this? Is it perhaps connected to the HPC Consortium? https://aws.amazon.com/hpc/consortium/

No, have not seen anything official or unofficial. If there is or will be, that information they would probably post on the website and possibly Twitter and Facebook.

I'm impressed … 30K+ WUs a day since 28th (actually nearly 37k for last two days) … nice if you can get them ;) … perhaps that is where they have all gone to :)

(nods to EOC stats where I grabbed figures from and to the FAH team for gettings stats back up and running)

Amazon is posting their Covid press releases here but I see no mention of F@H.
