Folding@Home - Join The Fight!

i cant get connected why? please tell, i have a 4.3 Ghz pentium D.

 

now am getting core download error
???

 

joined up on laptop atm (104 days for a WU LOL) its probly BSing me though, gonna install this puppy on home PC aswell

 

I just downloaded the CPU version of the program and just typed my nick and team and pressed ok and the program started folding. Is this it or do i need to do something special besides it? :smoke:

The folding uses 50-66% of my CPU..

 

I do....

I do....and big ones too....LOL
Quick question...can I install two versions...eg. CPU and GPU?

Would be nice to get Guru3d at the top as quick as possible!

 

with my PS3

I scored 287 points on 1 fold done in 7 hours

I also just finished my 2nd fold which hasnt updated my points yet

and im starting on my 3rd fold

 

Damn Double_Cut, you're churning them out, I'm going to need to find more clients.

 

Hey people, install this or we're sending marty to your house with a lawnmower, and its not for cutting your lawn!

 

Yeah he has the same amount of WU as you but 7,000 points less

im not sure how the points thing work. Is his system weaker, thus is WU are simpler or something?

im not sure but im coming up on you finch as well i just jumped up to 9th place in 1 day

 

It depends how fast you finish your WU in the alotted time, if I finish quicker than I'm supposed to, I get a lot more points.

So yea, I'm not sure, but he's catching up.

I noticed it has ID's from 1-8, does that mean you can only have 8 clients? I thought I read it generated the ID somewhere based on the CPUID or something? Anyone have any ideas?

 

Doesn't the size of the work unit matter as well? While installing the console version on my Athlon box I accidentally clicked on some setting which made the work units many times larger than normal. The result being that the poor thing needs 8 days to finish one WU.

 

I changed to CPU version because deadlines were so tight. Soon finished my first CPU WU.

 

The IDs are just for if you have multiple CPUs in one machine, give one ID to each CPU. So you can only have 8 CPUs in one machine.

 

i just installed it on my laptop also, but it looks like its going to take some time;

 

Ahhhhhhhh ok, gotcha

Damn, my main server doing all the work shut the program down for some reason.

Grrrrr

Damn, loosing valuable cycles, people are catching up.

 

Finch......Paranoia....?

I tried running the normal version of the program but for some reason it locks my system. So right now i am runing the console version and there are no problems with it.

 

Yea, Console version is good, but no quick way to see where you are up to with the WU.

Got my server going again, and another 2 clients.

 

Well for me its indicating the steps.

for example: you have completed xxxxxxx amount of steps out of xxxxxxxxx total

isnt that one WU that you are calculating with these steps. ?

 

I never kept that command prompt open.

I just close the window, and then go into services.msc and start the service, then it runs hidden.

 

As a matter of fact, there is a nifty way to see how far the console version is with WUs... go to where you have the console version running, and there should be a file called MyFolding.html. It'll have links to the Folding@Home website for your statistics, and also there's one for "Current/latest unit", which will show you a little percentage bar for the current WU. Or, for silly amounts of information, you can open up FAHlog.txt, and it'll show you everything that would normally be output to the screen.
