Folding@Home: THGC Needs You -Team 40051

[outlw6669]

Why are all our guides listed here?

Just curious

Why list any but the best
I figure the layman will get quite a bit more WU's completed after reading those guides than simply running a standard CPU or GPU client.

Sorry ninja, I thought the giant logo at the top of the linked pages would be enough to credit xcpus.
I have edited my above post to credit Xtreme CPU for everything.

I was under the impression that the language filter for Xtreme CPU had been removed. Clearly it hasn't.

 

[outlw6669]

Unfortunately not
Seems you can type 'xcpus' just fine but as soon as you add '.com' or post a link it is filtered.
Thank gods for tinyurl

I'll see about getting that filter scrapped. It's as dumb as filtering Anandtech.

 

[smithereen]

It's going to be humiliating if we get passed by AMDZone.

Client installed, joined the team . I have 2 computers at work running. When I get home, I will get 2 more computers up and going!

 

[Mousemonkey]

Welcome aboard, good to have you on the team.

Hey guys, check this out: There is a new beta SMP client out there that is pumping out something like 25,000+ PPD! It looks like you need 8 cores, though some are running it on high end i7s with HT on.
If anyone is interested and has the hardware.

The team could definitely use the boost.

Also, Stanford is now accepting donations of storage space with storage@home, though it seems no one knows how the points will work. Discussion here

Bigadv WUs are pretty awesome. You get more points the faster you complete them. If you manage to do it in 2 hours (ie. you run a supercomputer) you get 10x the normal points. The big points bonuses start at about 30 hours an increase rapidly from there.

002 hours = 10X
003 hours = 9.8X
004 hours = 8.49X
005 hours = 7.59X
006 hours = 6.93X
007 hours = 6.41X
008 hours = 6X
009 hours = 5.66X
010 hours = 5.37X
020 hours = 3.79X
030 hours = 3.10X
040 hours = 2.68X
050 hours = 2.4X
060 hours = 2.19X
070 hours = 2.03X
080 hours = 1.9X
090 hours = 1.79X
100 hours = 1.7X
110 hours = 1.62X
120 hours = 1.55X
130 hours = 1.49X
140 hours = 1.43X

This is a pretty good excuse to get an i7!

I don't think it affects the first few WUs that you turn in, you need to be a "reliable" -bigadv folder.

THG have a GIMPS team?

<<<<Is Folding for THG now.

im on top 20 producers

Nice job. I just started F@H with both of my GPUs. I'm up to ~173,000 pts and 319 WU. The points add up fast when using both GPUs. Usually 16K pts/day and 14K points/day when doing 1888pt units.

Does anyone know if it is possible to add a 9800GT to fold with 2 GTX 260s?

 

[AK419]

I think so, but you will need the latest core. I think Fahcore 11 requires manual download.

Try this link: http://foldingforum.org/viewtopic.php?f=52&t=12215 for more info.

Of course this is assuming your PSU has enough juice and you don't have a heat issue.

 

[one-shot]

I think a 750W Corsair can handle it just fine. Thanks for the link.

 

[sayantan]

why don't stanford give us a few bucks based on how much do we process??

I think if they start doing that then they better spend the money on creating their own super computer instead because everybody would then start asking for money. The advantage with their current model is that it is mostly funded by human conscience or good will, which is technically free.

That's why they have the printable certificate.

he he I was just kidding

Remember, nvidia gpus score much higher than AMD, and if you're careful, you can run SMP and GPU simultaneously.

The best website I've found for monitoring stats is at extreme overclocking:
http://folding.extremeoverclocking.com/

That depends on what project a person is attached to as there are some distributed computing projects where ATI cards score much higher than NVidia.

Collatz Conjecture comes to mind as one.

Here, Here.... just (12/25/09) finished my Emerald (1cpuYEAR) eBadge for processing ProteomeFoldingII with BOINC's WCG. Will return to Proteome for year 2 (Sapphire) when i've finished Emeralds in other 6 studies that are still active.
Currently working on Emerald for AIDS(mid Jan) and Nutritious Rice (end Jan).
12/25/09 was my 1st Anniversary with BOINC-WGC that i dedicated to my dear friend who passed away 08/09 frm colo-rectal cancer. AMEN, and RIP.
The below listed machines produce 10cpuDays of work daily. All run 24x7.
On 12/25 i got my 8th machine up and running (see post "Can eMachine be forced to boot frm USB"). Currently have:

Intel dualcore 3.00Ghz w/2G RAM [Built (08/09) for daughter and runs remotely at her house]
Intel D 2.79Ghz w/4G RAM
HP Laptop(Dual) 1.81Ghz w/1G RAM
Intel 1.24Ghz w/1.5G RAM
Intel ?(HomeBuild) 733Mhz w/.5G RAM
3x566Mhz Celeron eMachines (all the eMachines were donated to me for this cause. A 4th is promised in January)
All but the eMachines are / were work machines.
Folding and other studies seemed like a righteous way to burn out these unused cores

Congrats on EVERYONE's crunching efforts.....let's hope distributive computing can make one of the current health scourges as historical as polio in 2010!!

I would love to start folding however a crappy router is preventing me from downloading ATI Folding@Home GPU2

can someone please download/then upload it to a mirror site?

 

[shovenose]

joinigng in about 3 hours.
2 computers
Hp laptop: c2d 2ghz
other pc:c2d 2.4ghz
yeah i know its not a lot and theyre not always on but every little bit counts!
