Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

Boards.ie 2-day Foldathon
-
21-09-2010 4:38pm#1What is the Foldathon:
In an effort to try and kick start the Folding team here at boards.ie, we'll be holding a 2 day Foldathon every month. 2 days when you forgo gaming, and fire up some Folding clients.
Pretty sure most of us will get competitive, so plenty of banter to be had, and best of all, you'll be helping research diseases.
How it works:
Run Folding@home for team boards.ie (number 39432) during the specified times. If you don't know what Folding@home is, feel free to make a thread in the forum or check these guides:
What is Folding?
CPU Folding
GPU Folding
When?:
Wednesday October 6th, 5pm until Friday October 8th, 5pm.

I will be using my PS3 - will that be much help, or does it not contribute much?
Yay!
The PS3 will get ~1.2k points a day... at the moment I've got my PS3 Folding for boards; you can see the stats here:

That puts me as 4th highest producer for the team, so yeah, it will contribute quite a bit. 0 -

Count me in zodac, just signed up there. Amazingly, the time suits me perfectly as I'm in school on those 2 evenings and wouldn't get any time to sit down to my machine anyway. That's not to say I wouldn't join otherwise... :P 0

I'll move over 80 cpu clients, 12 cpu clients and 2 ps3's over for the 48 hours. Should give a nice little boost
Will take me a bloody age to install and setup all the clients though. Also have to hope work won't mind too much.
Very nice.
Setting up the clients shouldn't be too bad though. Version 6.30 of the SMP client doesn't use the MPI libraries, so no need for install.bat anymore. So make a folder with the Folding@home-Win32-x86.exe file and client.cfg (and a shortcut of the Folding@home-Win32-x86.exe with the -smp flag added) then copy it to each of your CPUs.^ Show-off! :rolleyes::p
Oh, most definitely. I'm not complaining though. 0 -

Oh some i7 goodness. Most of the machines here in work are crappy quad core amd's or ****ty c2d's
I doub't ill get much out of them, but every little helps. Is it still possible to use a - flag to disable it from showing in the taskbar? Last thing i want is someone closing it on me. 0 -

Very efficient.
Make sure you request a passkey, and then you'll need to complete 10 WUs to qualify for bonus points.
After that, you can get anywhere from 15-20k PPD just by running the SMP client. Each WU will take ~6hrs. If you're a more dedicated Folder, and you can get an overclock of at least 3.6Ghz, you can Fold -bigadv WUs. They need you to Folder ~20hrs a day and take 2-3 days to complete, but get 30-40k PPD.*looks at my low-cache C2D*:(
Until a week or two ago I was using a Pentium D for non-stop Folding on my main rig. Little thing pumped out 400 PPD, and took more than 2 days per WU.Lethal_Bullet wrote: »Can I use my 360? It gets little enough play time and may as well make itself useful.
Also, there's an ancient pentium something or other inside, should I bother setting that up?:pI don't think there's a client for the 360, only one for eight-core behemoth inside the PS3 Otherwise I'd be running my 360 as well as my PC!! 
Yeah, I'm afraid the Xbox doesn't have a Folding client. Someone did manage to get Linux running on it and started a Folding client, but it got less than 100 PPD IIRC. Not really worth the effort.0 -

Jebus! :eek::o:o:o Even my C2D scores over five times faster!:oYeah, I'm afraid the Xbox doesn't have a Folding client. Someone did manage to get Linux running on it and started a Folding client, but it got less than 100 PPD IIRC. Not really worth the effort.
Ouch!:o Wonder if that was solely down to the stripped-down ARM CPU or whether there was another issue going on... simple or not, a fast tricore should be pumping out more than that! :eek::eek: 0 -

I suspect that we won't be scoring very high until next time, as this time around at this point (or even several days before, for anyone without a fast i7 or X6) any newbs to folding won't have had time to start racking bonus points 0
