Protein Folding - Team 40051 - HYN Folding

A warm welcome back to Lucas1223a.

*Bows*

Plus now the holidays are over, so My folding should go back up to previous levels. 😎

Seriously though folks, this team is doing well - and is certainly doing a great deal better largely thanks to Flinx's Ongoing publicity campaign!

Hat's off to you sir! You may not be the best folder in the team, but I suspect you've had more impact (through incouraging more people to join) on the score than your position would indicate.

Thanks Chipdeath, glad I could help a little.

Hopefully others come up with some ways to generate some interest or find friends to pitch in.

The loving are the daring!

It would be nice if CS or Spitfire could entice thier friends in the graphics forum to join, hint hint.

If you want people from Graphics Card forum, then start this kind of threads there.

Congrats. That first 1000 is tough, but now the work really begins.
I think a thread by you, in the graphics (and most other forums) would carry a lot more weight than one from me.

Very nice. Thanks a lot.

Okay, I'm back from my vacation and got hold of a version of FireDaemon v1.7 😉

It's a snitch but I'll run through it anyway.

1. Log in with administrator priviliges and install FireDaemon
2. Get hold of the console version of F@H
3. Create a folder for it put the console program in there
4. From a shortcut or command line run the console as FAH502-Console.exe -local -configonly
5. Go through the config script and enter username, teamnumber (40051) and stuff
6. When config finishes run FireDaemon
7. Create a new service in FireDaemon to run FAH502-Console.exe
8. Make sure you enter the -local -service flags and set the service to start automatically.
9. Click install and the folding service will start

You can check the service is running by looking for the FAHcore in taskmanager.

There are several reasons for runnig it this way: 1. install and forget, you need never think about it again; 2. it's a hidden system process, so cannot be mistakenly closed or terminated by a user, in fact, you can specify that the service is restarted should it ever be closed; 3. should run as long as the computer is on, no matter who is logged in or indeed even if no one is logged in maximizing your folding output! Hooray!

[Huh]

Since no-one will catch sjonnie anytime soon I suggest we all change our usernames to xnilf or someelse with high output.

I'm over 10,000 so I don't mind giving my points to someone so we can make sjonnies 38,550 points look like chump change!!!

Who is willing to make a small sacrifice so we can pick on sjonnie? He has been #1 way too long in my opinion.

<rally cry>DOWN WITH SJONNIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!</rally cry>

 

[sjonnie]

Huh? 'sno'fair! 😡 Don't pick on me, I might have to recruit even more CPU time :frown:

Oh, and btw, you can't reallocate WUs already submitted.

[Huh]

I know. I was talking about future WUs!

My 10,000 points gives me a cushion. I don't think anyone will overtake me for awhile so I have time to torment you. 😛

Top dog gets picked on! It is no fun picking on someone like BossHoss with an out of this world, incredible, whopping 88 points.

 

[sjonnie]

Looks like you have some threats

Sparky853 will overtake you in 16 days, piryajet in 21 and Folken in 23.

What happened to your score anyway? You used to have a pretty good 24hr rate - oh, switched off for vacation?

<A HREF="http://www.anandtech.com/myanandtech.html?member=114979" target="_new">My PCs</A> 😎

 

[Huh]

I think in 16 days, Xlinf with my help can put a significant dent in your total.

I switched off for vacation and when I restarted I had quite a few bad WU's so I spent 3 days processing WUs that scored me 0 points instead of 480! Oh well. Such is life.

Oh and quit trying to talk me out of my mission of <font color=red><b> TAKING YOU DOWN!!!! </b></font color=red> :tongue:

 

[sjonnie]

I think in 16 days, Xlinf with my help can put a significant dent in your total.

Sounds like a challenge 😱

I spent 3 days processing WUs that scored me 0 points

Hmm, do you choose to process WUs with deadlines? I specifically choose WUs with deadlines on machines that I know will be on 24/7 whereas on machines that I don't know about I tend to not specify. Having said that my gf switched off one of my machines while I was on vacation so I had get new WUs there...grrr.

quit trying to talk me out of my mission of TAKING YOU DOWN!!!!

Nahhh, you don't stand a chance anyways :lol:

[Huh]

I get whatever the server sends me. I did the standard install and added my name and group and that is it.

 

[Flinx]

HUH, been missing you. I need the challenge of racing someone. But sjonnie deserves his spot.

You're right.. No way I can catch sjonnie and it would be a very long haul to overtake him even if the two of us joined up. Is that sportsman like? :tongue:

The loving are the daring!

 

[Flinx]

Do time deadline work units score more? Is there a bonus?

I think I'm going to post in the graphics forum to see if we can get some people from there to pitch in.

The loving are the daring!

 

[endyen]

Do time deadline work units score more? Is there a bonus?

I was just reading the faq @ FAH, and the answer is no. Points are based solely on benchmarks from a P4 2.8. with SSE2 turned off. 1 day's work on that setup is = 110 points. That begs 2 questions from me.
1- Does SSE2 help, or hurt, cause if it hurts, I want to disable it.
Is that P4 a 2.8a, 2.8b, 2.8c, or a 2.8e?

 

[Flinx]

I would think that SSE2 would help. Those contain extended arithmetic/math functions. Certainly to compete with Athlons u need the SSE2 turned on.

The loving are the daring!

 

[endyen]

Competing with athlons is no problem for my A64. It's a good day for "me", I should crack 1K on the day. Still cant get past folken, or close on sparky though.

Sht, I dont believe the WU I finnished an hour before the 9pm points release didn't make it onto the 12pm release. Oh well, there is always tomorrow.

[Flinx]

Wow.. a 1000 point day! Nice.. I thought I was going to have two 600 pointers rolling in on one day but I ended up playing too much UT2K4 :lol:

The loving are the daring!

 

[jammydodger]

Im still managing to hold 10th place, but pretty soon im gonna be overtaken. Its very upsetting.

 

[endyen]

That's easy to fix. Just change your name to "me" in all your configs. We might even catch flinx.
