Folding@Home: CF Official Discussion Thread

I would just shut the client down if you want it to stop. Just right click the icon in your processes toolbar and turn it off. When you want to start it again...just start it back up...it will continue working where it stopped.
 
I'm back. It's 'only' my Macbook Pro, but hey, that's ~1500+ ppd!

(gotta love not having to pay for power at college).


Having said that...people out there who aren't folding should be--because it really isn't that hard. The average cpu out there today can easily put out 2000-4000ppd, and if you just add a gpu in there, you get another 3000-7000ppd (for Nvidia, at least).

Nice to have you back in the trenches...:good:

You are right...there are only a few active Folders here. Just a basic CPU client would be harmless and you can never tell the performance difference in normal tasks.

I wrote a long PM to ian and apj101 about a possible Folding marathon for a week or so long. This will raise awareness for the cause and team. I have some freebies I wanna send out for participating:D I'll wait and work out the details with them and see if they support it.



Added a little voltage to the GTX 260...PPD jumped 500:D Turned up the shaders on my daughter's 9600 GSO...PPD jumped almost another 500:D Pullin over 16,000 PPD now!

Hey I just downloaded the GPU client, started it, configured it, now it's been saying Download error #10 waiting before entry.. Does anyone know what's wrong?
The numbers change.. So a few minutes ago it say #9...
 
I would wait a while...sometimes Stanford's servers are down and you can not download projects. Try again in a few hours. If that don't work...try again tomorrow.

Just turn the client off and try again later.
 
I have been folding under the user name Cudenver for CF
second GTX 275 comming in the next 2 weeks. :D
so that makes 2 gpu clients and 1 cpu client( i5)

:good::good: :D

I have 2 CPU clients and 1 GPU client running on my computer as we speak :D

Yeah cores #2,3,4 are basically maxed out. lol.

Use the SMP Client for your processor--it is optimized for multi-core processors and will get a whole lot more work (and points) done!

You should only run 1 CPU client at a time. Running 2 is counter productive. An SMP client will get you far more points. It can be hard to set up...once running it will smoke a normal CPU client.

I've been watching you on the team stats...very nice:D
 
I can't get the ATI client to work for folding :(
My card is bad ATM anyway.
But I downloaded the CPU client just now so I'm at least folding a little again :)

ATi's cards aren't as optimized for GPU folding--but they still get, say, up to 3000ppd or so.

Did you download the SMP client for your cpu?
 
I just downloaded the CPU and GPU2 client for my computer yesterday. Seeing that my computer is on 24/7 in my dorm in college I figured it'd go to good use. 336 points and 1 WU so far after a night, I'm excited to join the team!

Sweet...nice to have you on board!

Just so you know...you can look at the team stats Here


Or your stats Here

The November Folding marathon is on!

Briefed my plan to ian and he gave a :good:

Sing up now! Here

awesome, just signed up :D

I just downloaded f@h again too, hadn't done it since I installed win7, and I got the CPU and GPU one and the CPU works fine, but the GPU one comes up with an error saying nvcuda.dll is missing from your computer.

I had it working on Vista without installing anything extra, so do any of you know a fix for this?
