Folding@Home: CF Official Discussion Thread

Wow, I used to be in the top 10, now I'm 12th... Hmm..., doesn't seem like the other CPU is logging any units... Of course that was a GROMACS core, so it might still be processing :(

Wow...WinMx....I remeber that...I almost cried when it shut down.

Anyway, I just set up my computer to fold, using about 50% of my cpu (at full load my cpu temps skyrocket seeing as i'm on stock cooling, and overclocking).

I didn't think I would see the day when Jan is in 6th. Are you having troubles with your computers?
 
Dang, I wake up this morn to find that my gromacs core fold that I had been working on for 1 1/2 days had an error and cannot continue, so i had to send in the half WU, and I only got 32 points for doing 2/3s of a 500 point fold... oh well, at least i have an AMBER core now...
 
Hmm. I might do that, especially since I have a 12 hour 45 point no deadline WU right now :D

EDIT: Slightly better, now a 143 pointer. I tried three times and all I get are the no deadline ones :(. oh well.

On my P4 single core hyperthreader, it only says in task manager that I'm using 50% of my processing power. Now, is that because it thinks I have a second virtual core, so really it is using my processor fully? Or do I have something setup wrong? I have it set to use 100% in the options. Never experience a slowdown in doing anything, though.
 
Saurian, I actually have the same "problem" as you do. I need to be running two instances of the program for it to say 100% usage... :confused:
 
Ive got it working. I created a username called calumneilson because calumn was taken. I only have one questions, all it is saying is "Completed 0 out of 500000 steps (0%)"
Is this right?
Does that mean its working or is it doing something wrong
Thanks
Calumn

It may have been a triple post but its all in aid of health!
Can someone answer my question plz...

Ah, triple post!

Copy your text from your last 2 posts and Edit your first to include it all. Then delete the previous 2 :)
 
Thanks calumn, you saved me a job. And in answer to your question, yes it sounds to be working correctly. It displays it's completed 0%, until it ticks over to 1%.
 
Whoot whoot 25 WU's so far, LOL! I am working on a gromac right now it's huge the biggest one I seen so far going to take 3 days to complete on my fast computer but it should be worth alot of points! As far as the p4 with HT question I am running one and it shows 100% and I have hyper threading enabled? It should not recognize a virtual core as a second cpu? I can see it running 50% with a dual core but not a p4!
 
For those of you with Hyperthreading

Hyperthreading adds a 'virtual core' to your system. You can use the above instructions to run a second instance of Folding@Home on your Hyperthreading enabled system. This will not, however, provide the same benefits as running two instances on a Dual Core system, and it is recommended that you do not run a second instance of Folding@Home on your P4 with Hyperthreading
 
Jan, are you doing some really big WUs? I am starting to wonder, when 4W4K3 is passing you with only 1 processor...

I know. I have not been on my PC much (max 5hrs/day on my main folding rig)
In addition I am in fact folding really BIG WUs. Wait for my move up again.

P.S.: Just to make you feel better, I just installed F@H on another A64 3200+ PC :P

JAN :D
