folding at home!

BugBlaster · 23-01-2005 12:56AM

Hi lads, Been doing this folding crack for a month or so with these two pcs here,tried Seti for a 1000 or more units so i'm here for at least that long. 50 odd or more but they take 20 or more hours. Is there any text only console folding proggie like there is for SETI. The Seti GUI proggie used to take 15 hours to complete one unit, the Text proggie completes in bout 3 1/2 hours.

I was wondering having not read this post before how all those others passed my rank, so easily, I thought it was a fault with my systems here that they were not competing the units in time. Now I know it was all down to multiple PCs I dont feel half so bad

Windows ME/98 No-nonsense text-only console
Windows 2000/XP No-nonsense text-only console

Count me in.

I typed in the team number, so i assume that means i've joined the team... If not, tell me quick

EDIT: Is it usual for a workunit to take 41 days on an AMD xp 2500+?

you could have just gotten a big one, longest anyone i've gotten is ~3/4 days though

Mutant_Fruit · 23-01-2005 07:46PM

Yeah, i think theres a problem with the GUI version (for me anyway). It kept giving me VPU Recovery errors, and was reporting that it'd take 41 days to do the unit.

I switched to the console version, and everythings ok, and i'm 27% of the way through. At this rate, it should take another day or two to complete.

BugBlaster · 10-02-2005 09:52AM

lads... we need more active users, yet again our team stats were overtaken by a group with 51 active users, how can we ever get into the 200+ team stats with the production of so little units....

Johnny No5: NEED MORE INPUUUUT

BugBlaster · 15-02-2005 11:41PM

Cmon lads, Girls
Get out there and put your puter to some good use....
We need more units and get the ranks up higher now at 300th place and its for a good cause.

you wouldn't like this small irish teams rank overtaken by some major american group now would you?

TacT · 16-02-2005 02:00PM

BUMP! Come on -- where are all those nice oc'd A64's. Mine can only do so much in conjunction with my PIII machine -- NEED MORE CPU POWER, c'mon folks, pwease

We've been slowly rising through the ranks -- help us continue to do so!
So many inactive users, please re-activate yourselves

Ian, good man yourself -- knew you'd find a use for all that processing power *lol*

, what else would i do with it all?

colin300 · 21-02-2005 11:31PM

i dont know how or where but for some reason the team window on folding opened in Firefox on the boards.ie team so I signed up I have one WU nearly done on this pc and I have started one on the other its taken about a day to finish this one or moreat max cpu but then again i have been using it at the same time. This PC is a P4 2GHz the other Pc i just started to run is a AMD 2500+ 1.83ghz i believe.
My name on the folding website is Colin_Walsh and i have the boards team setup in it.

BugBlaster · 21-02-2005 11:32PM

Please, any chance of those team members non active restarting?. we could or should overtake the Microsoft team in about 60 days and take a place in the top 200 teams.......and its for a good cause!!!!!!!!

BugBlaster · 03-03-2005 07:34PM

slackinoff in workunits lads, cmon n stick with it.

Boro · 04-03-2005 03:00PM

Must get my other box working again, removed fah because it was giving the whole vpu recover error thing, didnt want to mess around with it at the time. I will install the console version.

BugBlaster · 14-03-2005 12:00AM

dropped a few thousand production points over the last week, where has everyone got to?

link to latest stats....

JohnK · 14-03-2005 12:25AM

I've had to stop it on my main machine as it was getting a bit too hot. The CPU temp has now dropped 16°C. Until I sort out a better cooling system, my main PC won't be contributing anymore work units I’m afraid.

neGev · 04-04-2005 06:51AM

BUMP!

We need to keep at it lads, there's quite a few teams edging closer to us.
Overtakes

Also, to keep this thread alive, let's all refresh what machines we have folding...

I've got an Athlon64 3500+ (0.13) @ 2.4Ghz going pretty much 24/7 here, but it's also my main gaming rig as well as the one I use for university work.

Mutant_Fruit · 04-04-2005 08:14AM

I've got my 2500+ (unoverclocked due to unidentified issues involving spontaenous turning off). running pretty much 24x7. And a 1.7ghz centrino laptop has just started that runs whenever its plugged into AC power. 2megs of cache goodnesss.

Cmon people, WORK!

BabyEater · 04-04-2005 10:02AM

I have an
XP2100 @2.3GHz 12hours a day
XP1900 24*7
Me brothers XP2500 24*7
and soon to be a A64 3000 at about 2.3 or 2.4 cant remember what it overclocks to.
Due to problems all these have not being going recently but hope to get back on track soon.

neGev · 04-04-2005 02:04PM

BabyEater, what's your F@H username?
Just out of curiosity...

BabyEater · 04-04-2005 05:59PM

Cronan.
I hope to overtake you when I get me systems running right.

neGev · 04-04-2005 10:13PM

I'd imagine you will alright. The annoying thing is I have an old Athlon XP 1900 rig sitting here, but no hard drives to put in it so I can't even leave it running F@H. :mad:

colin300 · 04-04-2005 10:23PM

neGev u might want to change that thing u have in your sig cause its white and i'm not sure about other people but i cant see what it says.

neGev · 04-04-2005 10:34PM

Yeah, it's a bit awkward alright. Roughly half the boards users (including myself) are using the Cloud skin, which is black/gray. It's hard to suit both camps, but I'll have a bit of a fiddle about with it.
Cheers

Edit: Fixed... o_0

BugBlaster · 04-04-2005 11:04PM

yeah I'm after locating a couple of extra machines, old they maybe, but working on units now, should have the first few extra units done in two days. gonna pass you out again!!!

JohnK · 04-04-2005 11:08PM

I've had to take it off another machine recently but I might be able to put it back on in a few days. Unfortunatly, its a crap machine so it won't really do anything (450mhz or somthing). I currently have 2*1.7ghz machines running it but one of those will probably have to stop soon. Its beginning to worry me that its constantly at 69c.

neGev · 04-04-2005 11:24PM

Any chance you could just stick a decent and cheap HSF on it?

JohnK · 05-04-2005 12:10AM

I've already got a fancy ThermalRight HS with a 120mm fan sitting on it but the machine is in a very warm room and I have nowhere else to put it

neGev · 05-04-2005 10:34AM

Step 1. Purchase strong rope.
Step 2. Attach said rope to a solid, heavy object in warm room.
Step 3. Attach othe end of said rope to computer.
Step 4. Open window.
Step 5. Place computer out the window, dangling from the rope.

Foolproof I tell thee!

deRanged · 05-04-2005 11:01AM

hello all,

I've just started the client on a few of my spare machines.
I guess I'll show up in the stats in a day or two.
I (think) the work units will go to team boards.

Depending how it goes I'll set some more idle machines working on it.

Brian
