The new Hexus Teams - Setting up Folding at Home
Here's the new team for F@H:
Team Stats
Folding@Home - After joining it may take a while before your name appears in this list.
More team stats: folding.extremeoverclocking.com/team_summary.php?s=&t=69776 - site no longer there? where did they go?
Installing / Running - Using the basic client - Single core folding
1. Download Folding@home - Download, Install
2. Enter your username (search f@h site to make sure it's unique)
3. Enter 69776 as the team number.
4. Enter your passkey (get one here: https://apps.foldingathome.org/getpasskey)
Simple
Still not sure? - Choosing the most productive / best client to run:

There was a Seti@Home Hexus Team as well just in case anyone's interested (however SETI has since retired):
www.HEXUS.net
-
Added the F@H team ID to mine this morning when I got in.
Fingers crossed it should have done the first unit later today :)
-
Hmm.. mine's been folding since early evening yesterday and I entered the Hexus team ID when I set it up.. does it take a while for members to show up (or is my digital hallitosis stopping me from showing?)
I've never actually done any distributed computing before so I'm not sure if this is something to be concerned about or not.
-
My MCE media rig is flying through these work units now and the display shows no WU returned yet the stats show 4 WU done and dusted.
Ahh well - fingers crossed I'll get it on more than 1 system soon and crunch a few more units :)
-
It does take a while before the team page shows members.
-
you only show up once you've completed a WU... I appeared late last night when my work rig completed one.
ok... Redlight proves that one wrong... but i had been folding on this one for 2 days!
-
^^That's one of the reasons I queried it - Redlight's 0 - anyway, not to worry, I'm within a couple of hours of finishing my first WU! :)
-
Redlight 0. I am getting the hump here.
I have completed a large WU and it has been trying to sent the result for over a day and I will be finished another large one tonight.
Edit just checked I am up there twice I am getting confused now. Maybe because I altered my name as i was folding for another forum a while back.
-
I was resting my system for a day or two as I seem to be having a few issues with the odd BSOD appearing. I've figured out it's probably down to my 2.5 year old windows install and plan to format in the future.
Watch my rig spit these out once again :devilish:
-
when you format yours can you do mine too?
-
Why is my system flying through the work-units compared to everyone else?

Fixed... some n00b forgot to tick the box for the large work units so it's only been doing the smaller ones... :rolleyes:
-
Does F@H support dual cores?
-
Yes, two ways:
1) Using the beta SMP client.
2) Launching two console-only clients, each configured to a seperate machine ID.

*chuckles*
Moby's shooting up the rankings!

Got it setup and running okay :)
-
It does one massive one. Short deadlines, though, so it needs to be on nearly 24/7
-
You should be able to accept jobs without deadlines if you prefer though.
-
josh, theres a rogue bracket ) in the html hyperlink to download the f@h client :)
Im currently downloading:)
-
-
np,
i've also been having some issues with the beta version, so have reverted back to the public release.
I've completed 2500 out of 250000 steps, so it looks like im going to be here a while :)
-
The SMP version installed ok for me, but it hasn't managed to set itself up to run automatically on logon, so I'm having to run it manually. I've managed to get up to 57% so far! :)
-
mines saying 26 days for a workunit, i sthat normal?
-
Yes. It takes at least a frame for it to calculate a proper estimate of how long it's going to take for the WU, so it displays something completely out for a while. And sometimes, they just are that big (if you allowed big jobs).
-
FYI, I had this problem as well:

For most people, this problem can be corrected by changing the setting to NO. If you do not have a proxy, both settings should be NO.

Except there aren't any and there haven't been for a while now iirc. Not to mention they were for slow computers anyway.

I don't know how I've managed to make it to the top, this dual core fah client must be better than I expected :D I'm only running it on a 1.86 core2duo :eek: (as well as a few other pcs... but none of them are dual core...)

hacks :P
-
you are stomping through those units - I'll catch you up eventually ;)
I might run the CPU client as well as the GPU one on my main rig :)

I just went Dual Core A64 but the Radeon X1900 seems to turn it in fast enuogh to outstrip my CPU.

Whats the purpose of this team ?????

Just to clear something up, do you just run fah.exe and let it run in the command window each time you want to fold and by doing so it will automatically run on both or 4 cores?

Re: The new Hexus Teams
Right, I'm in, on my work laptop (C2D). I tried installing the SMP core, but it wouldn't work, so I'm just using the graphical standard core.
-
Re: The new Hexus Teams
funny thing is, our users use GROMACS (which f@h uses for its cpu core these days) for real protein folding work

Re: The new Hexus Teams
For those who can't run smp client get this file:
http://www.stanford.edu/group/pandeg...04-Console.exe
Make 2/4 copies of the file (I renamed to core 1.exe etc)
and then make shortcuts, right click add -local to the Target
"C:\Program Files\Folding@Home\Core1\Core 1.exe" -local
"C:\Program Files\Folding@Home\Core 2\Core 2.exe" -local
Make sure you put the Machine ID as 1 for "Core 1.exe" and 2 for "Core 2.exe" in the options
(Stolen and summarised from here)
Edit: link blocked out... if you need help just reply

Re: The new Hexus Teams
Just joined will leave it running over night and see how my x1950 xt handles it!

Re: The new Hexus Teams
note: the "SMP" client runs totally different types of WU to the regular client - it's not the same thing if you run multiple single-core clients
second note: as per the FAQ, performance of the "SMP" client is significantly worse on windows than anything else
third note: i'm saying "SMP" instead of SMP because it's not actually SMP - it's a cluster code being run on one machine. most problems people encounter are due to issues with the cluster communication library used by f@h for local execution
fourth note: the standard "a1" "SMP" core is locked to 4-way. if you're on dual-core, then resources are shared, and performance suffers. if you're on an 8 or more core box, you'll see no benefits in f@h performance
-
Re: The new Hexus Teams
So is it just better to just run the regular client multiple times? I've had issues with the SMP, it just crashes half way through a WU or just appears to have communication problems when fetching or sending data.

PPD is higher for SMP, so it depends on whether you want to get the extra points for running SMP-only WUs

Re: The new Hexus Teams
OKay so its been running for 2 days now and i have completed 2 work units.
One question which i hope somebody will be able to answer more graphics cardy than f@h, according to catalyst control centre (CCC) my GPU and memory clocks are 500 and 594 MHz (should be 625 and 900 MHz) now I understand this is to save energy when the card is not doing anything strenuous and when you load full screen 3D it jumps up to the higher values. Now I cant help thinking that by increasing my clocks to the 3D values I would get more work done! In the ATI overdrive section of CCC the is a tick box (ticked) which says enable ati overdrive settings clocks for 3D apps only, however this is greyed out so i cant untick it. Anybody know how to make the card run at the higher clocks all the time? and if it will make a difference to my folding productivity?
Thanks in advance

can't stress this enough, guys.
i have 3 machines at home working on f@h. my desktop (athlon fx55), ps3, and media machine (pentium-d 830). the athlon is completing roughly one "big" uniprocessor work unit a day, for about 300 points. the ps3 is completing 2-3 of its own special work units a day, at ~300 points each. the pentium-d is completing about three quarters of an SMP work unit a day, for 1700 points on completion.
the fx-55 is no slouch, certainly compared to pentium-d, but in f@h terms, nothing comes close to the rank-rising opportunities given by SMP work units. running 4 uniprocessor threads still means you're throwing away over a third of the potential points compared to a single smp instance, and that assumes they take the same time (on quad core, the smp units will be much faster)
i know it's hell to get it working on windows, but if you want points (and the increased team rank that comes with points), use smp wherever you can.

Re: The new Hexus Teams
I'd love to run the SMP client, but I'm struggling to get it to work on my Vista machines.
There has to be a quick'n'dirty way of getting it run? Having tried the enabling/disabling Administrator, installed as "administrator" run as administrator etc, I've lost the enthusiasm to get it working...

god knows why windows makes things so complicated. on linux you just run "./fah6 -smp" and you're done

Re: The new Hexus Teams
You're not kidding. Although the SMP client could be a little easier to get working...
-
Re: The new Hexus Teams
I have to say I had no problems getting the SMP client working :D Maybe I'm just lucky who knows.
Actually that's a lie it didn't work first time I tried because I didn't have a password set on my user account, but that was easily rectified and no problems ever since :D 1 SMP WU down and 41% of the next one :) Points, points, points, points, points!

Re: The new Hexus Teams
Go on then - how did you do it?

Re: The new Hexus Teams
Folding 5.91 beta SMP client seems to run fine on my machine here. Followed the instructions at the top of this thread, hey presto, 4 FahCore_a1.exe's running.

Re: The new Hexus Teams
I disagree i've found the SMP client to be appallingly flakey. I often have the process completely die for no reason. With this kind of issue.
Delete mode
Deleting frame files
Deleting work files
Folding@home Core Shutdown: SPECIAL_EXIT
I get regular File_IO_error's on raid 5 (4+ disk arrays) on machines that are doing 0 work apart from folding.
If this was a piece of company software that was critical to the business i'd be screaming blue murder.

Re: The new Hexus Teams
Well, I've only just kicked it off, so maybe it just hasn't run long enough to display those issues.

Re: The new Hexus Teams
Apologies if this has already been answered, but is the folding done by ATi card significantly higher than that done by CPU's?
I think I had read something to that effect, but just wanted to confirm.
I've got two reasonably pokey pc's at home, my work laptop (and any work servers i can hi-jack) but non of them have ATi cards.
All I really want to know, is what's the best way to fold most on the kit I have? :P

Re: The new Hexus Teams
Ah I see, so really, using the SMP thingy, I shouldn't really get low results, it just make take longer due to the units being bigger (or something (new to this! :P))
One slightly separate question, how do I change the username I registered first time round on the smp console version? A re-install doesn't seem to do it
[EDIT] - Found it, just edited the registry manually

Re: The new Hexus Teams

Re: The new Hexus Teams
Doug - If you need to edit your settings using the console version then do the following, in the Run box browse and find fah.exe then at the end of the line after the " add -config that will allow you to reconfigure all settings.

From here,

The stats lag a bit from real life as they only update every 3 hours and don't catch all changes in every period but they get there eventually :)
Other useful links,
Team Hexus' Stats Page on Extreme Overclocking
Team Hexus' stats on F@H (these are the most up to date you can get, note that the team position is 2 higher than it should be as it includes team 0 and google which apparently doesn't count as an individual team.)

Re: The new Hexus Teams - Setting up Folding at Home
My production is definately hit and miss I'm afraid, because I only leave my F@H running when the machine is on doing something else as well, plus I switch between the standard and SMP client.
On the plus side, I can now use both servers at work for this now it's the Xmas break.

Re: The new Hexus Teams - Setting up Folding at Home
It will take a few steps to sort out how long it will actually take. On the first page of this thread is a link to how points are calculated and included in that are some estimated times for unit completions which should give you a better idea of how long its going to take.
Oh and welcome and thanks for joining every little helps :)

2.8 Quaddy (SMP mode) burning away 11hrs a day (Should help nicely :)). Averaging a WU every other day, varying sizes being pulled down.
I've noticed that the client crashes a fair amount when left full-screen when a WU completes, but is fine when the display is turned off (Taskbar only). [Vista64/nVidia gfx]

Re: The new Hexus Teams - Setting up Folding at Home
Hello,
Just joined up, figured I should do something useful with my computer. I've got a 15187388 byte work unit (I think) and it's saying there's 500000 steps to do, after 13 minutes it has completed 5000 units so I should be done in about 20 hours.
Anyway, my CPU is maxed out by this thing, is that supposed to happen? I was under the impression that it used idle CPU cycles and would be unnoticeable. Instead I've got 65 degrees on my CPU and fans on full which is a bit annoying.

it's *using* your idle cycles - which is why your cpu is hot.
-
Re: The new Hexus Teams - Setting up Folding at Home
Well, in my opinion "using idle cycles" should mean "running in the background and not soaking up power like an electro-sponge" has anyone worked out how much it costs them for their F@H score?
-
Re: The new Hexus Teams - Setting up Folding at Home
How could it "use" idle cycles and not require power and hence generate heat?
As to how much it costs that will all depend on how much your electricity costs per unit and how much additional power your computer uses when running under load compared to idling if you want to check then you will need to use a power meter to monitor power usage in both states.
The other thing that some people may point out is that as most of the energy is turned into heat you can use your PC as a room heater ;) as long as you are not paying to cool the room (ie air conditioning) then the energy will be helping to reduce your heating bill!

[19:20:58] Folding@home Core Shutdown: FILE_IO_ERROR
Any help? I cheated and didn't entirely delete the F@H directory first, just uninstalled the standalone client and then reinstalled the SMP to the same place. Thought it would pick up the work already done, rather than wasting it.
Running on Vista 64, all relevent permissions granted ok.

did you ensure you ran the mpi registering thing? and you definitely installed it to somewhere writeable (the default location has permissions issues)

I might make a backup of the directory actually, probably the most sensible course of action. Will get back to you in 20 minutes :)
And yes, windows is a pain, see the epic fail that is windows mobile device centre here:

Deleted all my contacts information without asking me?!
edit: looks like it may be working now. How can i be sure?I guess 100% CPU usage is a good indicator? Miss the GUI with it's predictions and all that though. Also, why is it running four FahCore_a1.exe processes on my dual core? Surely it just needs two?
edit2: atm I'm staring at (and have been for the last 15 minutes)

Will it automatically update to 'Completed 1 out of 500000 steps'? The visual GUI one gives you a visual indication it's doing something. ATM this isn't really showing me anything lol.
I might be cheeky and leave my PC on while I go home for the weekend (away from the Uni). Probably still waiting at the same point :(
edit 3: all is working well, been playing C&C3 and it's up to 3%

Re: The new Hexus Teams - Setting up Folding at Home
As I guess you will have worked out now it works in percentages not actual steps :)
And it runs 4 instances of the programme as it is hard coded to run as a quad threaded application so you get 2 per core and it wastes some time bouncing them around but there you go! If it bothers you then get a quad core :D
