Folding@Home: THGC Needs You -Team 40051

[protokiller]

I've got my 9600GSO (G92 version) folding away most of the day, not everyday or during gaming tho, I hear these are great little folding cards so I've come to help the cause!

I don't fold with my 3.2GHz E8200 as it does not seem like it's worth it considering how much faster and more efficient the GPU client is.

Ahhh, back to the #1 spot !

Woo!!! 220th !!!

but then again i've only been folding for a week

Woo!!! 220th !!!

but then again i've only been folding for a week

Woo!!! 121th!!!

but then again I've been folding on and off for the past year

Welcome to the team and a big thanks for joining.

Woooo!!! 58th... on the Tom's team.

whats ur rig??? do u do gpu or cpu folding ???

I mentionned it some pages ago :

I just added three Dell R710 to my fleet, each one loaded with a pair of E5540 Xeons. I also switched to the A3 SMP2 cores, the jump in PPD is stupidly high with the speed factor bonuses

 

[warmon6]

So im guessing your running the bigadv WU.

 

[SidVicious]

Nah, six instances of 2K8 R2 STD VMs running A3 SMP off the hosts HDDs, didn't get the initial setup right, learned after the fact that it involved command line voodoo thrown at ESX as you're setting the VMs up to force the guest OS into seeing a two 4 physical & 4 HT cores CPU per socket.

The guest OS see cores as discrete CPU sockets so the OS liscense gets in the way, will switch them to a proper linux based OS as we transition to production, already got the foodchain sorted so the F@H VMs get the very last bite at the computing morsels, I named the VMs "hungry puppies" since "slopsuckers" could have been percieved as something offensive by management types.

Just in case you guys are wondering why the f'ck it is taking me so long to put such a small cluster into production here's the deal:

Server got racked by 3rd party (along with a bunch of tie wraped power cables even a seriously retarded amobea would have percieved as done wrong), we visit and find out that they shipped the servers with a pair of 10Gb XF SR instead of a pair of 10Gb AF DA despite us stating that we will be using SFP+ Twinax to link them to a pair of 8024 and an EqualLogic 6510E, all of which were ordered as a bunch.

Had to wait two months for the AF DA to be delivered, I can't tell you how frustrating is is to have f'cking hot hardware liying there unusable because some numbnut went "Hurr Durr dem 10Gb cardz r teh same Derp!"

I won't even mention the so called expert that spent 8 hours configuring the switches wrong.

[/VENT]

And f'ck yeah I'm folding on that hardware !

 

[Haserath]

Something seems wrong with these two post.

Apparently we've been talking about the world and cars. Don't you know folding is all about them?!

I guess so. :lol:

 

[shovenose]

WTF??? i think that those 2 comments were by the same person, just with 2 different accounts...they are both equally random and that person desnt know english very well! I WONDER>>>MAYBE IT WAS OSAMA BIN LADEN!!! run...were all gonna die...................
NOT!!!

Hiho! I just joined the team !

[shovenose]

Hiho! I just joined the team !
CPU Folding

welcome.
what cpu do u have?

 

[NeeKo]

Its in my signature, E7400

 

[shovenose]

NICE!!!keep on folding i missed thatin the sig line. oops!

 

[NeeKo]

I just downloaded the simple client there, is there anything I can do, this just puts one CPU on 100%! I dont understand much honestly didnt take the time to read anything at all

 

[shovenose]

dont worry about. there are ways to increase the points you get, but if u just use the basic client it will be plenty.

 

[NeeKo]

Ok thank you!

 

[shovenose]

is there a 64-bit client. what is the best client for me to use?
athlon 64 x2 3800+ 2ghz
1.5gb ddr ram
radeon x800 pro 256mb
i want to fold on my new win7 pc!

Well for you, since you have a dual core cpu, You could run the SMP Mpich client which work on both 32 bit and 64 bit Os.

It would give you the most ppd, although it could take you a day to complete.

 

[shovenose]

i dont really leave my computers on for long stretches of time, so which thing do i download that finishes work units the fastest?

 

[Haserath]

Do you need a virtual machine to run two of the SMP2 clients?

Is there any way to get a different core besides the Fahcore_79 on SMP2?

Just wondering to see if I could speed things up here .

 

[Haserath]

If you have a decent GPU I think that's the fastest. My GPU client finishes a WU every few hours while the CPU client takes close to a day.
The GPU client is here: http://folding.stanford.edu/English/DownloadWinOther

 

[NeeKo]

What do you consider to be a Decent GPU?
No way it takes a day, im already at 50% and its only been on for 3 hours or so

 

[shovenose]

its an ati radeon x800 agp 256mb. is that good enough?
