Folding@Home: THGC Needs You -Team 40051

[Haserath]

Yea, I put -smp in both of those areas. I didn't put any # after -smp in the "additional client parameters" so it should be running on any of the cores.
I've also tried to reinstall it once, maybe I'll try it again after this WU is done, since it's already halfway done.

Hmm... very strange. Well, if the reinstall doesn't solve the problem, i would recommend going to the Folding@homes forums http://foldingforum.org/index.php

There they maybe able to help better than i can.

I reinstalled it and this time I got an a3 core, my processor is pegged at 100% now 😉 .

Thanks for the help!

No problem. Glad it was resolved.

What was the deal with changing the Fold at Home section or thread?

@shanemarines: It's for organize the forum, some sections had many sticky threads, so, a consolidation is much better for the users and the forum.

+1

It makes sense to me.

Oooo..... this looks interesting.

http://folding.typepad.com/news/2010/06/update-on-the-v7-client.html

Primarily 2 things that i see with the next client (v7),

Being able to fold on a gpu and cpu under 1 client instead of multiple clients and (a little bit later on after the client released) if i read correctly, able to mange multiple computers under 1 client.

Seams F@H going to be turned on it's head. Most likely for the better.

If I'm hearing this right I consider this a lot better! 😱

that would be nice especially if you could control all of them from on client, because i'm running my main desktop when i'm not gaming an older office desktop from my dad's place and my bros ps3 when he's not using it

Well, im not sure if you can control a ps3 with that client but i do also like the sounds of controlling multiple computers in my home network at once. 😀

Although i am curious on what this GUI client is going to look and act like as i really cant see the current gui clients that we see with uniprocessor and gpu client working to well for multi clients.

Hey guys, I'm just wondering what's wrong - my GPU client has been attempting to get a work packet for quite a while, around 12 hours or so. What should I do? Or is this temporary and maybe the server dishing out these work packets has temporarily crashed?

Hmm... can you show the sever IP address that your computer trying to connect?

first place to look at is this page, to see what severs are down. http://fah-web.stanford.edu/serverstat.html



Second thing i would mention is after seeing this thread on folding forums, http://foldingforum.org/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=15077
Try turning off the "-advmethods" flag.




What i can guess it maybe there a sever the receiving WU's but isn't giving out any. That could be due to there so many WU's being turned in at this time that it cant send out or that the sever crashed.

It could also just be the a WU shortage on the gpu side.

 

[warmon6]

Well further development, it looks as though there a shortage in ATI gpu WU's. The mod on the folding forums has notice this as well and has reported it to the people at PG. there looking into it ATM.

 

[loneninja]

Just set up the smp on my Phenom II 940. So I'm not running F@H on the Phenom II 940, Phenom 9850, and Athlon II 630. Only catch is it's not 4C on each machine 24/7.

 

[Lmeow]

It seems like it's all fixed now, my HD 4770 is back in action.

 

[jonnyboyC]

well yesterday finally got my internet to work again, so folding 20ish/ 7 again lol

 

[warmon6]

well yesterday finally got my internet to work again, so folding 20ish/ 7 again lol

Yeah i've notice internet trouble for the past few days as well. Although i think it a relay station somewhere thats causing problems (at least for me) as i get random web sites that can come up and others wont.

Anyways, even though my internet fine for now.... i wont be folding till late this week to early next week. In a middle of a move right now so kinda hard to fold when you wont have internet for a few days. (finally im moving as thought that i was going to move a month ago )

Well break time up and back to packing.

 

[shovenose]

hopefully i will actually fold instead of doing it for 1/2 hr and then not doing it anymore!

would my new server fold reasonably well?
-Dual-CPU Intel Pentium III 1GHz
-2GB PC133 RAM (4x512mb)
-10k rpm scsi 36 or 38gb i forget
-200w fsp psu
-xp pro with microsoft security essentials...
-1u case
-and a bunch of retarded noisy tiny little fans

1. is it worth using to fold?
2. is it ok to use maybe like 3rs/day and still complete stuff in time?
3. would i be able to use both CPUs?

 

[jonnyboyC]

hey every cpu counts especially since our teams productions is down =/ but it would probably have to be 24hrs a day, and on the normal cpu client otherwise there no way it would finish in time

i think you'd be able to use both cpus just like you can run 2 of the basic clients for dual cores and above

 

[shovenose]

unfortunately, my mom wont let me have it on when im not home or at night. so that leaves a few hours a day. unless i can make it silent but i dont think thats possible...so a few hours wont do?

 

[jonnyboyC]

i don't think it'll be able to meet the deadlines, you could try it out anyways with one unit, and see if you can get it, or come close at least

 

[shovenose]

crap! what about my core2duo computer, the one in my signature? would that work?

 

[shovenose]

or a dell p4 2.66ghz ?
