Folding@Home: CF Official Discussion Thread

I have F@H running on a computer downstairs (console version)...it submitted one WU, and doesn't seem to be working. I set it to use 50% of the CPU, and in SpeedFan, it says 50% of the CPU is in use. In the electron microscope thing it shows that it's working (the graphical representation of what it's computing), but it doesn't show how many frames it's completed, or how long it takes to do a frame, or the estimated completion date. It also hasn't submitted a WU in over a week. Is it just working on a REALLY big WU?
 
I'm on the computer now....it is now showing all the information it should (time per frame, day of WU completion, etc)...turns out it was just a really big WU, and the fact that its only using 50% of the CPU doesn't help...

Start: 10/25
Finish: 11/4

It's on step 97 of 100...

Protein: 1258 p2124_lambda_5way_melt_4_10011


Should be about 350 points... :D, plus the WU on my computer that should be another 300 points, which will be done tomorrow....

Interesting. All I can say is that the forum package they're using must allow those kinds of images. You can see for youself the fact that it doesn't work in vBulletin forums, or at least this one. Just go to the advanced posting screen, use the
properties), and preview. You'll see it just displays the link.
 
I would support such a thing. Of course, I've got a ways to go.

I'd like to go X1900 just for the ATI program. However, with the G80 utilizing programmable shaders, wouldn't those shader units be able to be used for folding as the X1900's are?
 
My P3 1Ghz computer had stopped for some reason, so it hasn't sent any in for >7 days. Oh well. Now it is back on track.

Ya, I saw that..hmm. I wonder why it does that..
 
My apologies to all here!!! I am hyperglycemic and I crashed down to 44!! My dad is a doctor and he caught me just after my last posts and knew I was in trouble. I am not planning on leaving this group. I left my old group to be here! I FOLD for fun! I hate the who has more and I am best attitude.

Jeez, I'm glad you're alright. Folding isn't supposed to take quite that much out of someone you know... :P

I'm thrilled you've chosen to stay with the team. Just for the record, the main reason this team exists is to help the cause in the biggest way possible. If there is a competetive side to the team, and what is talked about in this thread, it is because for some people it adds an extra dimension to the whole thing. But let me make it clear that we are all on the team to help the cause, everything else is secondary. :)
 
Jan, this is going to be interesting. I'll have my X1900 AIW in a week or so :D. Just enough time for you to catch up. :)
 
hehe

Gee, just when I ordered the X1950 Pro and the status was available, I got an e-mail saying that it's not! I was looking forward to it so bad! Oh well, I will have to wait a bit longer but fear not, I will be able to contribute more when I get it :P

Did you manage to start folding on both cores? If not, we are free to help.

P.S.: Very good to know you are fine MYCATTMAXX and to see you back :P

The overclocking graphs are based strictly on linear performance. However, because we are constantly getting more CPUs and producing more and more, our graph is exponential. Would there be any way to get a real projection of where we will be in the future? I think I know how I can plot that, but I don't feel like spending the time to figure it out. :rolleyes:
 
i could add my media center to the team, but it runs passive, and may have heating issue if under load for a long time

You definitely could and we would appreciate it. Folding @ 50% of CPU is fine too. Even a bit can help.

That would be really tough because you don't know how many will join and how many will quit.
 
Check this.

Ok so our townhouse is being sold (we're friends with the owners) and they came over with a prospect to show it. So I pull up the F@H graphic client on my 100" theater screen and explain to them how they should run it and I will help set it up. So now the buyer and my landlord are both very interested because I showed them the home page and what it's all about! They even offered to use my sn and join the CF team! Keep on Folding!!

Today I am thankful for the Undo feature of Windows. Yes very thankful. :D
 
Wow

That's some very good news. Thanks for your effort. It's people exactly like you that our team needs. You will help make us even more successful. Keep it up and once again, on behalf of the cofo folding team, thank you.

JAN :D
