Folding@Home: CF Official Discussion Thread

It seems like everyone gets a 153 WU for their first one, just look at the stats, six people, all with 1 WU under their belt, all with the same points score. Weird. :confused:
 
The WU I am on suddenly went from 43s/frame to 16s/frame, cutting like 6 days off of the completion time....:confused:
 
Yeah, I've had WU's drop from 9+ minutes to around 3+ minutes when I stop doing some other things, and then it also drops off a bunch of time from the projected completion date. The one I just finished wasn't supposed to done until tomorrow night when I left for work. I get home tonight, and it's done! :)
 
I always used to take the graphical completion estimates with a pinch of salt. It's not an issue with the console version, there's no estimated completeion time. Instead, if you want to work it out, you have to do it manually with a calculator. Hence why I usually don't bother... :D

That's where Electron Microscope comes in handy.

On a different note, would a guide to folding on Dual Core systems be helpful?
 
Not come across Electron Microscope before, looks like something worthwhile playing around with.

Quite likely, especially considering the increase in numbers with a dual core system. If you would be prepared to write a guide, I'd look at incorporating it in the :About thread. I'm a bit busy at present.

Edit: I've just been fiddling about with EM, and I have to say nice one ceewi. It brings a whole new dimension to folding with the console version. Where did you come across that?

Oh by the way, this is my screenshot of what it tells you if anyone else is running the console and is interested:

I just completed a work unit so how come my name and progress does not show up under Team members on the team statistics page?

Oh yeah now it is, lol! Boy that took along time to complete, the one I am working on now is going real fast.

What does the score represent? Is that like how well your PC completed the WU?

Please try not to double post, there's an edit button for adding things to a previous post.

Welcome to the team, the score is based on how long it took the WU to be completed on a benchmarking computer at Stanford, that way the points allocations are fair for the size of the WU, and people who get given smaller WU's don't suffer points wise.

You may find it useful to read through the FAQ's on their website, most common queries are answered there (hence the name, funnily enough...).

I see a team ranking page but it just shows a graph? Is there another page where we can check out other teams ranks and progress?

No problems, i'll get to it over the next few days.

Ran into it while googling a little folding problem I was having (trying to recover a couple of 600 point WUs lost at 90% :(). I posted it a while back and the interest was underwhelming. Glad to see i'm no longer the only one using the console version, or making full use of both cores!
 
Hmm

Well make sure a firewall or something like that is not blocking it. If that does not fix it, try uninstalling and then reinstalling the software. It should work. I am using it on Vista Pre-RC1 and works just fine.
