Folding@Home: CF Official Discussion Thread

do you need an internet connection for this? i could boot up my old computer and run it on folding 24/7 but my router isnt working so i couldnt do it if it requires and active nternet connection(like is there a way to just connect it every once in a while to send the information)

It requires an internet connection to download the packets of work, and to send the results back to Stanford. While it's churning the numbers you don't need to be connected. If you're not connected when the work needs to be sent, the program will just keep trying to connect until it can.

If you can contribute at all, then please do. :)

Will the GPU and CPU versions be able to run simultaneously? And would the WUs be the same? Or would it be a separate thing totally?

They are completely different, so they should be able to run simultaneously, and the gpu one is a lot faster. Here are the details.
 
Yup, I've got an nVidia GPU as well, and I'm just as frustrated. Hopefully, they've just picked ATI for the pioneering trials, and will include nVidia at a later date.
 
Suggestion

Heya guys, I came up with one idea. Magicman seems to have joined in (thanks). Well if you have space in your signature and wish to help the F@H effort, you could add the following:

FOLDING FOR THE GOOD OF MANKIND :F@H Team 44358

Thanks for your help. You can change the text of course, just leave the team number there.

Code:

PHP: 
[size=1][b]FOLDING FOR THE GOOD OF MANKIND[/b] :[URL="http://www.computerforum.com/12993-folding-home-how-can-i-make-difference.html"][b][color=red]F@H Team 44358[/color][/b][/URL]

Hey guys, for some strange reason, I have decided to come back to fold for CF. I don't know why.

I think that we need a better banner for the top of the F@H page....the one we have now looks pretty crappy.

Hehe, yes I saw your sig and thought 'here's another harmless thing to do to perhaps attract a few more bodies.'

It's not that quirky a thing to do you know... :P Yes I agree we could do with a new banner, does anyone know who set up the original team/logo? We'd need their permission (i.e. logon details) to make a change.
 
I'm currently updating the graph to include today's changes. Most notable is Bootup05, who's doubled his score with the first completed work unit since records began (my graph's records, that is :P). One of many I hope, well done.

I was shocked when I came home to find my WU count hadn't changed from 9am yesterday, until I checked my FAHlog.txt file, to find I'm working on a 20,000,000 step WU, that's a 40 fold increase from my last WU! :eek: I'm still on 32%, so I can't wait for the resulting stats. :D

Nice

Great to see some activity again :)

Great graph magicman. TO answer your previous question, APJ101 I think set up the account.TO all others, keep up the great work. Also thanks for the sig entries for those who have added them. It could help the effort.

Thanks for the support Jan. The recent changes I've made to the graph is to have the top ten folders in black, they deserve to be seen against the background. Also to keep an updated team summary in the bottom left. I may start linking the raw daily data soon, so people can mess with it as they please.

Re: a logo, apj101 will view the thread soon enough, but who wants the job of designing one? Bobo, it was your idea to change it, want to see what you can come up with?
