Folding@Home: CF Official Discussion Thread

I love how we continue to increase production. :) Look at how the line goes sharply up:



Ya, ever since that day we got over 7000 points, we have kept over 4000 points per day. If we get over 5000 ppd, then we will be upgraded into the next category for production (at Extreme Folding stats) up to dark blue from light blue
 
I seem to be having a problem with one of the computers I installed F@H on. I have it running on this computer, but I installed the console version on my mom's computer...I think it's running, but my F@H user statistics page only shows one processor active. On speedfan on my mom's computer, the cpu usage stays around 50%, which is what I set F@H to use during setup.

There are no tray icons, etc...is everything fine and it just hasn't submitted it's first WU yet?
 
I joined the folding@home project, but I thought it was only supposed to utilize cpu usage when the computer was idle.

Most likely. You can find out how far the console version has progressed with the work unit by viewing the text file in the installation directory. There are no tray icons involved with the console version, it's invisible except for a process entry in the task manager.

Welcome to the team! It does, but not in the same way as I think you're thinking. What gets donated to F@H is spare clock cycles, so if your other programs etc are taking up 75% of the cpu at any one time, F@H will occupy the remaining 25%, but won't in any way limit the other programs, and if the other programs needs more of the cpu, F@H will shrink away until it has spare clock cycles to get hold of.

Yeah, it submitted it's first WU yesterday...so now it says I have 2 active CPU's.
 
Rambo, how are you letting Lord_of_the_Mings beat you? he only has a P4 2.8 and a 3200+ @ 2.3 Ghz. :P

(I would call that a challenge :D)

The past 3 WU's I have done aren't being sent :mad: However my other instance is sending them perfectly fine... It has 3 WU's to send in the queue, and it never succeeds... :(
 
That's rough. Have you tried reinstalling F@H? I know that you would lose a few WUs, but at least you could start again.

That's what I've been wondering whether to do or not... What do I do? Just delete everything in the folder apart from FAH502-Console.exe?
 
I'm moving back towards the top 30. I was so pissed yesterday, my Gromacs finally finished and I thought it only gave me like 150 points....guess my computer reset back to Vista and had sent back my WU that was done on that side, then when I got home and went back to XP it put in the other one too. :)

I'd be ahead of Rambo by like 75 points if I hadn't had those 6 WU's finish under a different name. Blah, I need to start building SFF computers and just stack them up and check on them once a week as they fold.
