Introduction
On October 29th, 2021, the SQL Family Team on Folding@Home passed the Seventeen Billion “Grand Score” count for work unit credits. This is amazing, since our team has only been around since March 8, 2020 and we have a fairly small number (22) of active members. We previously passed the Sixteen Billion mark on September 25th, 2021. Now we have passed Seventeen Billion Credits for Folding@Home!
We currently have 174 members on the team, and anyone is welcome to join. Our Team Number is 236,388. The SQL Family Team is currently in 102nd place out of 225,512 teams.
We could really use some help to make it up to the top 100! We are very, very close now. If you have a desktop machine with an NVIDIA RTX 2000 or 3000 series GPU that you can use for this, that would be a huge help!
