Re: So, you think you can fold eh?
At the end of the day it's all for the benefit of medical research. That said I'm more than up for a little friendly rivalry...
And we're still ahead of the crazy Rovaniemi University Of Applied Sciences (albeit only by 2.6 hours now) and we're still climbing faster than GameOn (28 slots in the last 7 days versus our 75)
-
Re: So, you think you can fold eh?
those Rovaniemi boys must be running all of NASA's pc's ;)

Re: So, you think you can fold eh?
I'll run mine for the nex couple of days and WHOOOPS looks like I'll accidentally leave my work PC on again (although I'll be doing some very late nights this week anyway)
I know it's nothing near what you guys can fold, but every little helps!

Re: So, you think you can fold eh?
OK.....running this on 4 PCs and 1 PS3.....
1x SMP client on dual core laptop
1x GUI client on dual core PC
1x CLI client on old Dell P4 PC
1x GPU client on dual core PC
1x PS3
let's kick some butt.
-
Re: So, you think you can fold eh?
KungPo...you're a star :) that WILL kick some but :D
After that Dual Core laptop has finished, you MIGHT wanna try running two normal versions of the single core client on it....
SMP seems to LOVE quads but not really deliver quite as well on Dual's.
The PS3 will absolutely ROMP through them :)

Re: So, you think you can fold eh?
I've had to take down my shuttle as I needed the RAM for my new Opteron, but I'll hopefully be able to pick up some PC3200 soon and get the Little Shuttle That Could will be crunching again.
-
Re: So, you think you can fold eh?
Splash,
If its just some PC3200 memory your after to get the machine up and running I am 99% sure I have some lying around at home.
If you want your welcome to this mate as its not doing anything in the new system I have

Re: So, you think you can fold eh?
You sure Carlh? Drop me a Pm and we'll sort something out then - since the box is only going to be folding it doesn't need a great deal.
-
Re: So, you think you can fold eh?
I'll be starting the rebuild on my shuttle that I got back from my brother imminently. I've got a monitor setup for it, just need to reinstall XP MCE to remove all his rubbish. It only needs an OS and drivers to be installed, so it shouldn't take too long. :) That should give as an Athlon XP 2500, but I reckon I should be able to get it stable as a 3200, with a bit of persuasion.
Cheers,
Stephen
-
Re: So, you think you can fold eh?
just wanted to post to say that Carlh is a god amongst men, and will be responsible for another few WUs - it's only an Athlon XP3200+ but can churn through them at a decent rate under linux.

Re: So, you think you can fold eh?
Funny...
Yesterday it was saying 6.8 days till you overtake us. Now it's saying 6.9...doesn't look like you're closing to me :)
I'll start another box or two folding. Just incase there's a glitch in the stats

The SMP client runs four threads, so on an 8 way box, you need to run two instances of the client to get the most out of the server.
Install the SMP client as per usual, and make sure that you've done the install bit so that it registers the SMPD.exe
With that done, make a copy of the \program files (x86)\folding at home smp client v1.01 or whatever it is
Run fah -config in the default install, and put your settings in as per usual (nb, it's worth doing the advanced settings and allowing units >5mb and scientific cores as the new Xeons seem to love them and you get points++ for completing them).
In the copy of the default install directory, run fah -config again configure away as normal, except change the last option on there (machine ID) to something other than 1 (otherwise it'll either fail, or both sets will work on the same data).
With that done, you should be able to churn through 2 WU's at the same time.
If you're doing a large deployment, I can give you a hand building a GPO/SMS package to push the client across an OU (which is how I do it :))
NB, if you're stresstesting, leave desired CPU usage at 100%. If however it's a production server that does other things, leave it at 95%. I find this a good balance between maintaining server response time and maximising its folding ability.

Re: So, you think you can fold eh?
Whats more worrying is the lack of anti virus software! :eek: :P
I get around 15 min per % on my quad core running at around 3ghz. I guess that's a 8 core 3ghz xeon server? very nice :)
What speed are you running at jez?

Might be 15 mins/frame, but it's doing two frames in that time...->7.5mins/frame overall :)

When it goes into production, it'll be a DB server, and I just can't afford the hit on the disk IO that that will create.
Additionally, the server is on a non-internet accessible network and the firewall/switch ACLs should prevent most viral threats if somehow an end-users machine were to get infected.

So how long has that WU taken then?
-
Re: So, you think you can fold eh?
[14:02:09] Completed 0 out of 500000 steps (0 percent) - 10th October
[07:29:52] Completed 440000 out of 500000 steps (88 percent) - 12th October
Close to 48hrs by finishing point. I'm not lucky enough to be running quad's or the new 5xxx series Xeons, these are all the old school xeons. What i lack in sheer power I do make up in number of machines tho :)
They'll keep dropping WU after the first one :)

Re: So, you think you can fold eh?

[06:05:35] Deleting current work unit & continuing...
thats happened quite a few times over the past couple of days - not sure why tho
-
Re: So, you think you can fold eh?
My main PC has been crapping out as well - usually at 90%. I think I've oc'd it too far, so dropped it back down this morning. Three times in the last three days. Luckly the other 6 machines are ok...
-
Re: So, you think you can fold eh?
I know the feeling. I have lost three WUs in two days.
Be good if it gave you a hint at what was wrong.
-
Re: So, you think you can fold eh?
Same here.
My main laptop crapped out for some reason. I came back home to find it sitting at the login screen. My media box had also stalled, agan no idea why. My other laptop needed a re-start after installing some drivers (there ws also a huge list of windows updates to install). The regular CLI client wouldn't re-start the WU it was 60% through, i had to delete the wok folder and the core tofrce it to get a new core and WU.
Annoying to say the least.
-
Re: So, you think you can fold eh?
Since I started folding about 2 months back (I think) I have lost somewhere in the region of 6 WU I would say due to various instabilities or system faults with F@H. It's a right pain in the butt, I keep finding myself going back to the GUI client since it just works..........usually.
By the way we are just one place behind gameOn with 6.1 hours to go before we over take them, hehe. Good going every one :).
-
Re: So, you think you can fold eh?
WE'VE DONE IT!!!!!! 607 Against 613!!!
-
Re: So, you think you can fold eh?
Wow the stats said it would take 6 hours. Either they were wrong or we've put a mass of units in during the last hour.
-
Re: So, you think you can fold eh?
I don't know how sophisticated their prediction code is, but when it can take 24 or 36 hours to complete WUs, it becomes difficult to predict accurately when you get below days.
There is also the SMP bugs to considder. A few of the GameOn crowd could have suffered corrupt WUs like we have been having, meaning their predicted units haven't gone in.
I really wish the folding clients were more robust and combined.
-
Re: So, you think you can fold eh?
Hurrah! My first WU completed in the last couple of hours. I'd like to think that it was my WU that pushed us past...
(although it probably wasn't)

Re: So, you think you can fold eh?
I've started up a second box folding today, just a A64 Clawhammer 3200 @ 2.2GHz (it only manages a 200MHz overclock :(). Not awesome but every little helps! May stop it though... my room is soooo hot! Saves having to use a heater though, so effective efficiency of my PCs = 100% ^^. OC'd 2900XT (828Mhz), OC'd Q6600 (3.6GHz). The 2nd PC bumping up the temp even more XD.
-
Re: So, you think you can fold eh?
They all help chap, every last mhz.
Half of my farm is sub 700mhz, but they still run it and chuck in 150-200 points every now and then. :)

Re: So, you think you can fold eh?
How the hell is this dude doing 50000 points per day?!?!?

Re: So, you think you can fold eh?
I think he may have installed the client on all the machines at work. Last I heard he had in excess of 40 machines on the go
-
Re: So, you think you can fold eh?
hmmmmmmmmmmm
we need more guns.
-
Re: So, you think you can fold eh?
he would need about 50 quad cores to get 50000 points per day!!!
at that rate, the people in the top 100 should be afraid he is gonna over take them!
-
Re: So, you think you can fold eh?
147 active processors.....so now what do we do...?
-
Re: So, you think you can fold eh?
Join us, together we will be unstoppable muuuuuawwwwwww :p

Re: So, you think you can fold eh?
NO,....that would weaken us...
we fold more in competition :)

Well I'm quite pleased about this. Despite the friendly, healthy competition between teams, the main goal is get get as many folds done as possible to aid medican research. If waving red rags at bully (;)) is how we do it, then thats what we'll do :)
