Well, if i got to this thread sooner i would of said the same thing. :lol:

Practically same thing as mindless said for me accept for 1 person which is my dad. He was in the national guard (retired in april 2004), but went though most the branches (or all if you dont count the coast guard). Army, Navy, Marines, then finally air force. (i think he said it in that order).

Although, my dad cant seam to stay away from them even with being retired. :lol: He got a job from them at Parris island.

Quite good for 2 dual core laptops. :bounce:
 


you didn't know you were that high? shocking :lol:



To bad i'm only folding on 1 laptop for now and with that, dropped out of the top 20. probably come back with 2 folding (or more) after I move but for now im just folding along with 1.

Now if i only had the money to get this server....

with four 12 core Opteron 6172 running bigadv, I could get some really big points. :D

"punchy" -- an outstanding sub 10 minute :eo :eo (9min 38 sec) == 160,000 PPD :!: :!: :!: on a 48 core AMD 8423 system running only 45 FAH processes (obviously a lot of work on optimal SMP settings)

Hay Pardner,
The references are nice but not exactly correct for your core. :ouch: The links work fine but the PPD as reported by FAHMon is incorrect for the A3 client. Way low in fact. :heink: FAHMon is a great monitor program for GPU, single core CPU, and SMP A1 and A2 cores. :sweat: The SMP A3 cores base points on speed of completion and the current version of FAHMon doesn't support that. I hope Uncle Fungus gets on the ball and fixes that, I like FAHMon. :D

Another monitor program called HFM.NET does all the FAHMon stuff and calculates the A3 PPD correctly as well, it even looks a lot like FAHMon :sol: I don't know for sure but I suspect it is from the same code source as FAHMon. It can import a FAHMon configuration file and supports a web site with folding performance stats like FAHMon. I haven't tried the web stuff but I guess it works. :)

Nice job though. Thanks for the info. :)

 


no problem, Thought i would pass that along.

I like HFM a little better because it more detailed and it sees A3 WUs. As for it's source code, i have no idea.

All i know is that a person named harlam357 that appers on a lot of forums (although he is from overclockers.com), showing his HFM.net program. I think he found something as his foundation in C# langue. Maybe it is FAHmon although if i can find where it at, i think he mentioned some where it wasn't FAHmon but something else.

Only thing i need to figure out is how to add multiple computer under one link like Atlas folder done. So far i can only think of 2 things that can work is:

to move all the F@H clients to 1 network drive and have a monitor program read all the data from 1 drive

or network all the computers to 1 computer and let that 1 computer monitor them all.

I have had as many as 17 computers in my folding farm. Not so many now, the P3s and old Celerons aren't worth running any more. The P4s are about to fall off the back end too, only running one 2.8Ghz and one 3.0 Ghz any more anyway. :pfff:

I use an old wireless laptop as the folding monitor, it doesn't fold, just monitors the goings on, also used for a few other odds and ends not important here. Most of the folding machines are on my local LAN and I just have their folding directories shared so I can see them from the folding monitor program (I'm not going into how to do that here unless somebody asks. Then I'd just send them to sites I googled for). The machines not on the LAN are running an FTP server and I have one of my machines do an FTP download of the files the folding stats program requires every few minutes, each set in a different directory. These files are in shared folders and specified in the monitor just like any other folding directory. I think HFM.NET can do the FTPing internally now but it isn't worth all the trouble of changing it over since what I have now works fine... If it ain't broke, don't fix it. :lol:

Hope something in that mess helps. If I can help you an any way, or you need some clarification of the above, don't hesitate to ask. :)
 


Isn't that the truth. :lol:
