Folding@Home: CF Official Discussion Thread

I can't wait until they get this server thing fixed :(
I still don't know whether my WUs have been being received over there. Who all is actually increasing in points?
 
Hmmm

I feel you. We just have to bear with it. Just now, the server is down for maintenance. I guess they are doing something big on the servers lately. Hopefully, that will mean more bandwidth in the future and more capacity. In turn, that would mean a return to normal points :P

We are at 925

JAN :D

in the mean time, i thing that there is a slight improvement in running two instances on a single cpu with HT turned on.

You're right, there is a slight improvement, however the F@H team require work units to be turned in quickly more than they require the larger number of work units. Running two instances causes each WU to be delayed significantly.

Overall:
For more points: Run two instances.
To benefit research: Stick with one.

Since research is the primary goal, I recommended the latter option in the Dual Core Folding guide.
 
I haven't gained any points for almost a week :(

This is really aggravating. I wonder if someone contacted them and asked what was happening? I know they are redoing things, but still. I want to make sure that my WUs are being submitted correctly. I reformated my hard drive, so we'll see if that speeds anything up :D
 
My computer seems to have trouble connecting all the time. So, I then have to Reinstall hte program, bah! I don't know if its network, or my running it on Vista. Always something...I can't wait to do an upgrade!
 
One more WU not counted :(

I changed it to use Internet Explorer settings and we'll see what happens...

hmm guess i never thought of it like that, well the drive seems to be very points orientated so i think as long as users are present the option

oh, and here is the SMP client that will support the multicore cpus

again though is only for macs, and linux at the moment.
 
Should I use the graphical version instead of the console version? I dunno if that would help. I need ideas :)

Give it a shot. I just think the servers are not awarding points properly, hence the low score lately. Give it time. I have not had problems personally and I am using the graphical.

I started using ATI tray tools instead of ATItool for overclocking, and now have it up to 580/594, with a time of 9.7 minutes per percent :D (2.4 secons per frame) down from 12
 
I'm just sick of my computer not receiving the next WU download properly. Darn thing..

In other news...the single core P4 is still holding in the top 30...soon to move back into 29th place I do believe with my next upload. :) 11 more frames and my WU is done.
 
My WUs are being recevied :D I might be able to pass tweak and have Grey pass me all on the same day :). I guess I will have to settle for 6th for now...until I catch up with magicman :D

Still, though, my graphics card is really cranky. It doesn't want to overclock certain times, and other times it overclocks really well, and other times it isn't stable at stock? I'm just going to have to persuade myself to leave it alone, I have already lost 2 half done WUs today :(
