The new Hexus Teams - Setting up Folding at Home

[1stRaven]

I've only been going for a few months, and on a single core client only (the SMP eludes me...), and i'm up to 69th in the Hexus list already. Next stop - to pass the main-Hexus machine

The smp is quite easy to setup, once you know where you are with it. and the points from it are a huge amount more. I started folding in Late November so after 4 months, I hit 6th place.

I'm trying to get into the top 50 on just a PS3 left on off-peak hours

good progress so far

I am using 1 machine at the moment for my folding, it is running windows xp home with 1gb ram. It is a Dell Precsion T3400.

76% of my WP, PC crashed out. Rebooted the PC and SMP client, rejected checkpoint. Starting at 0%. This happens too often, i'm done. Until they build a more stable client i'm not wasting any more of my time.

They do have a more stable client... the non SMP one... hence why the SMP is still beta... and hence why the SMP gives more points, because you get alot more problems...

It says all of that on the links you have to click to get to it...

Oh aye, it seems that i forgot to mention (i could have sworn i had )

I'm back in for a bit...

edit: i fail at editing

Just joined but couldn't get the SMP version to work.
The install.bat file seemed to run okay, but then tried running the exe file and it didn't seem to do anything.
Any thoughts?

I've never had any luck with the SMP client - it's far too unstable.

I'm using the GPU client and it gives me far more points, warms up my room in these cold winter nights and isn't quite so buggy. In fact, I've just OC'd my graphics card a bit which has given me another 200 PPD

This is annoying, i have the latest 13" Macbook Pro, and i get this message when trying to run the mac F@H client



Any ideas? Its the only intel mac client available

[Drobbins]

You running Snow Leopard by any chance?

If so right click the app and choose open in 32 bit if not it looks like that could be a PPC version of the client mis linked or something?

Hi guys. I'm gonna join the team when I get in from work tonight.

Sorry if this is a question that has been asked repeatedly - if Im doing a bit of folding is it okay just to have a stock cooler? (Just got an i7 920). I'm gonna get a good cooler soon but until then.. I don't wanna do any damage to the CPU having it operate under full load for hours at a time..

ED: signed up with SMP and got it running. One more question - do I have to leave my computer on long enough for it to get to 100% to get the points? Or can I do a bit then shut it down then a bit then shut it down etc?

Yeah that would probably cause a problem but im on 10.5.8 Leopard. It installed fine, the error comes up when i try to run the application from the apps folder after install. Do you know how i can set an app to open in 32bit? I couldn't find the option

thanks

Strange, theres a F@H icon in the System Preferences, which allow me to enable or disable the F@H service, but either way trying to open the actual App fails

Was looking into running this but I'm confused about how to do this.

I've got the two files, Folding@home-Win32-x86-systray-623 and FAH6.23beta-win32-SMP-mpich

Not sure how to use the "patch" though. Also, not sure how to get smp enabled too. In W7, the target box is greyed out.

Another problem I'm having is for F@h to save my username, passkey and team number, I've tried editing the client file but it doesn't seem to work.

Hopefully someone can help me get it up and running!

Anyone having trouble getting new work units?

It has been cycling a "couldn't get work instruction" error since 5:50AM .
