Hello fellow hardware guru's and overclockers,

This is quite a long post, so please bear with me. The LYN forums need your help.

More specifically, the Folding@Malaysia team needs your assistance.

1. What is Folding@Malaysia (F@M)?
The team was formed over 7 years ago and are involved in a distributed computing project called Folding@Home (F@H). This is a project created by reknowned Stanford University in the USA and its main purpose is to find cures for protein-related diseases such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, cancer, Huntington's diseases, and others.

Basically, you use your PC's spare CPU/GPU cycles to perform simulations of protein folding. We typically use our PC for Internet surfing, MS Office type tasks - light tasks. So the CPU (and GPU) are idling - this idle capacity can be dedicated to F@H, to help find cures for these diseases!

For more information, please check out the FAQ at the F@M forums.

2. Why should I bother?
Other than indirectly doing charity work on your PC (and hence accumulating alot of "goodness" for yourself wink.gif), there is also a friendly, global competition where most of the top forums/companies are participating in (Hardocp, Anandtech, xtremesystems, techreport, EVGA, Google, NVIDIA, etc). And this is why F@M was formed - so we as LYN forum'ers and patriotic Malaysians can contribute to this good cause together! This is where we can put lowyat.net on the global map!

Right now, we are ranked 66th and slowly sliding back, being overtaken by many other teams with more folders! So we need YOUR help! We can't be beaten by the others, we are lowyat.net! Let's show them who we are, and what we are capable of! lowyat.net boleh!

If you can spare some CPU and GPU cycles, please join us in this good cause!

3. How can I help?
You can download the F@H client here. There are a few different types of clients (CPU, GPU) and F@H also supports different OS (Windows, Linux, Mac, PS3). Please take a look at the official F@H guide for more information on these clients. Read below for a short section on these clients.

In summary, you can use a CPU-based client (uniprocessor or SMP) and/or the GPU client if you have a discrete gfx card like NVIDIA or ATI. YES! You can even fold on your CUDA cores or your Stream processors, and the advantage is typically 5-10 times faster than the CPU client :

user posted image

All you need to do is to download the client and start folding! Join F@M as team 2999 with your own userid!

4. Won't running the F@H client interfere with my PC usage/gaming?
It depends - if you use the CPU client then it automatically runs only when the CPU is idle, and so will *not* interfere with your daily usage, even when gaming!. If you use the GPU client and you play games, then it is recommended to temporarily pause/suspend the client before gaming.

For the hardcore overclockers, the F@H clients are also a good way of stress-testing the CPU/GPU. Whilst it will not send your CPU and GPU temperatures soaring like Prime95 or Furmark, it is nevertheless a good indication of stability as well.

5. What if folding does not produce a cure?
In the end, folding will not produce the cure, it has and will continue to produce results for researchers to study. These results teach us things we did not know, or had not considered. The more we learn, the more we adapt our understanding of nature and its mysteries. Folding will never replace the human mind. And with the right tools, time, and curiosity, eventually a cure will be found. If you have a friend, relative, or know of someone suffering from these diseases, help find a cure by joining this great project!

We know there are many, many hardcore PC guru's here in LYN, and the level of expertise here probably equals the gurus in forums like HardOCP, Anandtech, xtreamesystems, Techreport, etc. These forums all have their own F@H teams and are doing very well - let's show these guys that we in LYN forums are just as good, if not better! Let's try to give these guys some real competition!

Please do join us at the Folding@Malaysia forums, and post any questions you have - we will be glad to help!

I believe it may be in the High Performance Client section found below the page of the link.

* Yes it is certainly at the High Performance Client section.

Am using the GPU folding client now laugh.gif. The CPU client was getting my whole processor maxed out and lagging everything hmm.gif.

Off Topic : Luckily I haz teh wonderful Zalman Z-Machine GV1000 cooler for my card or it'd go kaput rclxub.gif. 95% load all day long.

Oh, I just folded a bit... LOL... not sure what it does but the GPU fold does increase some load to my 9600GT and the heat rise from 43 to 53, not so much when I game, I do it when I watching movie so I guess I can contribute but I can't do it 24/7 due to electricity bill lol tongue.gif

what do we do, we fold..

laugh.gif i joined u guys. using the x86 client (not the GPU one, dunno the proper name for it though..)

tried GPU folding with my gtx460, but seeing the temps going up to 63 degrees, i had to stop.. that's even higher that when i played crysis @ max! kinda scary.

Wow, great response guys!

One thing to ensure that you are joining the correct team (Folding@Malaysia) is to join team 2999 when configuring the client (e.g. in saturn85's case)...

If you have any questions, please feel free to post in the F@M forums!

TS, you might want to give them the heads up on what to expect from TNB if we were to fold 24/7. i strongly believe that we need to be transparent to our potential fellow folders.

Hi everyone,

I will try to address your questions here in this post :

saturn85, do you use a 3rd party firewall? If so, it could be blocking the FAH client from connecting to Stanford. If so, try adding the FAH client to the trusted list? If it still does not work, please post your client.cfg. Do you have a proxy defined in your IE settings?

FidelisGVR, I am also folding on a GTX460 - my temps are also about 60+C but it is lower than gaming. Your mileage may vary I suppose. If you do not want the temps to go up so high, you can set the client to use e.g. 50% of the GPU utilisation instead of 100%. In my case, folding temps are about 15C LOWER than e.g. stress-testing on Furmark.

barry80, your GTX275 would be a folding monster. Looking forward to see you climbing up the rankings.

VT-Ten, Absolutely! Depending on what h/w you have and which clients you use (CPU or GPU) your electricity bill may or may not be affected. In my case, my PCs are on 24/7 and I let it fold full-time. My bills are ok, but your mileage may vary.

Lastly, welcome once again to F@M Please do register and introduce yourselves here, especially your nicknames so that we may monitor our team and your statistics at the EOC stats page.

Hi karthyhu,

Thanks for joining us! I'll try to provide you with step-by-step instructions :

1. Download the GPU3 client

2. Install it and run it :
user posted image

3. Add your own userid (you may want to check first to confirm it is not used globally by anyone yet) :
user posted image

4. Team is 2999

5. Let it download the work unit (WU) and confirm it is working by mousing over :
user posted image

6. You can also pause the simulation at any time you choose (e.g. if you want to play a game) by right-click -> Pause :
user posted image

7. For easy monitoring of your WUs and to estimate the ppd (points per day), you can use FAHmon which can be used to monitor multiple clients all from one easy to read GUI. Add the new client by pointing it to the work directory. In Win7, the work directory is in "C:\Users\<your Windows user>\AppData\Roaming\Folding@home-gpu\". To find out your work directory, you can goto the F@H shortcut -> right-click -> and copy the "Start In" location :
user posted image

8. Finally, once your WU is completed, check your ranking at the EOC stats page

Remember that we are doing this for the science, and are also competing with other global teams like Hardocp, Anandtech, EVGA, Google, and many many more, in order to push lowyat.net and Folding@Malaysia up the charts!

saturn85,

Could you try accessing the following via ur web browser :

http://assign.stanford.edu:8080/
http://assign2.stanford.edu/

Do you use any AV programs then? Try disabling momentarily and see if it works?

QUOTE
and do i need a passkey?
and what is PPD?
how it related to point, score, work unit? 


Points/scores are Stanford's way of rewarding donors like you and me - there are various protein "projects" and each project has a different number of credits or points assigned. When your client connects to Stanford to download these projects, it is typically called a work unit. When the work unit is 100% processed by your PC it is uploaded back to Stanford, and then you get assigned the points.

So when we say PPD, it means Points Per Day ie. estimated number of points your CPU/GPU can process per day. It is a way Stanford "rewards" its donors and keeps us donors continuously interested in the project. We as individuals then join or form our own teams (e.g Folding@Malaysia) to compete against other teams and this friendly rivalry ultimately benefits the folding community.

A passkey is a unique id given by Stanford to differentiate donors with the same userid. Eg if there is another person called saturn85 running F@H then u could generate a passkey for your own id so the points u contribute would be recognised individually.

Let me know if you need more info! Fold on! biggrin.gif

I am using Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bits myself too, and I had no problems using it for the first time.

Have you tried deleting any traces of the Fahmon files ( manually deleting files that aren't deleted through the Control Panel's uninstaller ) before initiating an re-install again?

Wow, it really stress my graphic card, max 54C, pretty good cooling from my chassis fan, it really does make a different.
Haven tried the CPU one since I'm using my CPU more.
Anyway how do I obtain the passkey, just in case I need it, not really urgent.

Btw I'm using Windows 7 64-bit, not so stable for the first time, I think need to restart the PC then run the program, or should one of the movie player affected it? Opening the viewer crashed when running Zoom Player 7, after closed the Zoom Player and open the viewer again have no issue.

Will continue to fold when I have the resource to do so.

Oh yeah, had anyone accessed their user page yet? Why mine is empty 0.0;; hoho~

You will need FAHMON to have your stats published, if I'm not mistaken. That's how I found mine, after getting Fahmon wink.gif. Before that, even completing one work unit doesn't get me any statistics recorded.


laugh.gif. My 9800GT is stressed to 55C ~ 57C with the fan turned to the lowest.

Ima afraid if all of a sudden it succumbs to the load and dies sad.gif. I will have problem claiming warranty then due to the replaced cooler cry.gif.

@karthyhu

You do not need FAHmon to have Folding@home running, I believe without it you won't get your scores published though.

saturn85,

Could you try accessing the following via ur web browser :

http://assign.stanford.edu:8080/
http://assign2.stanford.edu/

Do you use any AV programs then? Try disabling momentarily and see if it works?
Points/scores are Stanford's way of rewarding donors like you and me - there are various protein "projects" and each project has a different number of credits or points assigned. When your client connects to Stanford to download these projects, it is typically called a work unit. When the work unit is 100% processed by your PC it is uploaded back to Stanford, and then you get assigned the points.

So when we say PPD, it means Points Per Day ie. estimated number of points your CPU/GPU can process per day. It is a way Stanford "rewards" its donors and keeps us donors continuously interested in the project. We as individuals then join or form our own teams (e.g Folding@Malaysia) to compete against other teams and this friendly rivalry ultimately benefits the folding community.

A passkey is a unique id given by Stanford to differentiate donors with the same userid. Eg if there is another person called saturn85 running F@H then u could generate a passkey for your own id so the points u contribute would be recognised individually.

Let me know if you need more info! Fold on!  biggrin.gif

Good morning everyone!

Great responses so far. I see that many have already submitted WUs as shown on the stats page :
user posted image

Well done! I have also created a welcome thread at the F@M forums - please take all your discussions there, and please introduce yourselves to the F@M community!

Now to answer all your existing queries :

QUOTE(wildwestgoh @ Oct 29 2010, 10:30 PM)
Wow, it really stress my graphic card, max 54C, pretty good cooling from my chassis fan, it really does make a different.
Haven tried the CPU one since I'm using my CPU more.
Anyway how do I obtain the passkey, just in case I need it, not really urgent.

Btw I'm using Windows 7 64-bit, not so stable for the first time, I think need to restart the PC then run the program, or should one of the movie player affected it? Opening the viewer crashed when running Zoom Player 7, after closed the Zoom Player and open the viewer again have no issue.

Will continue to fold when I have the resource to do so.

Oh yeah, had anyone accessed their user page yet? Why mine is empty 0.0;; hoho~
*
wildwestgoh, if you have followed the default config options your gfx card will be utilised 100% - if this is too much then feel free to reduce the utilisation via right-click -> Configure and adjust the slider accordingly. Even at 100% utilisation I find that my gfx card temp is still lower than gaming or stress-test tools like Furmark.

The viewer is nice to see what the protein looks like, that is all it does.

TDUEnthusiast, you do noeed FAHmon to check your stats on the stats page - it is automatically uploaded to Stanford, and then EOC picks it up and processes it and updates it in its own stats page. FYI the stats are updated on an hourly basis so it always lags a little.

Your 9800gt is running very cool then! Nice! My 8800gt running 24/7 gets up to 75C at 100% load, which is still ok. The Nvidia GPUs are spec'ed to run up till 90C so no worries about the temps. Again, if you're worried about the temps then feel free to dial back the GPU utilisation to e.g. 50%.

hmm... been reading folding for quite some time but i never actually bother. but since i open my pc for torrent nearly 24/7, might as well join in the fun and help out.

so, i got few questions:
1. my home pc specs are below, so should i use the i7 to fold or 5850 to fold? last time i heard there's no support for ATI to fold, is there any now?

2. i'm torrenting, will folding affect my speed?

3. while working, the pc's torrenting at home in my room, and usually i only on a fan. usually i'll open up the window for better air flow, but sometimes no coz my neighbour is doing renovation, kinda dusty. so, if i use 5850 to fold, it's going to be 95% load at all times right? mine's a reference heatsink, will that be sufficient? i scare the card overheat while i'm away, and died or get into some troubles. and burn my pc, and my house laugh.gif

Well... I believe the ATi card can be used to fold now, and yes, perhaps fold on your i7 as well since it's pretty fast brows.gif.


As for any overheating issues, either set the GPU maximum load to 70% or lower when away or set the fan speed to at least 70% constant. You won't be there anyway, so you don't have to face any noise.

GT220 is definitely supported! Try uninstalling the existing Nvidia drivers, and reinstalling the latest? What OS are you using? If you still can't fix it please post in the F@M forums. Will get everyone to help you there!

Hmm looks ok though. I would just stick with the latest 260.99 drivers. Could you try using the GPU3 client instead? Your GT220 would still use the GPU2 binaries from the GPU3 client.

Sure! Does it have a discrete GPU? If not, it would just be using the CPU client which will still work, but will not be as efficient from a point-per-watt standpoint. Let me know and I'll see how I can help.

Hello! The details are on the first post - which part can I help you with? Folding@Home uses your spare CPU/GPU cycles to ultimately help find cures diseases such as certain cancers, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease. So it's a good charitable cause. You do this by downloading the F@H client, which then connects to Stanford to download simulations which can run on your CPU or ATI/Nvidia GPU.

If you have further questions please feel free to post in the F@M forum! smile.gif

Welcome to F@M hackcremo! For using your CPU you have 2 choices :

1. Uniprocessor client - this is the "classic" F@H client with normal WUs that gives standard points
2. High performance CPU SMP client - WUs for this client give high points but have a shorter expiration period that typically requires you to have your laptop on 24/7

Although modern laptops nowadays come with powerful discrete GPUs and modern CPUs, I would not recommend folding on your laptop as it may get too hot, unless you run the CPU/GPU utilisation at e.g. 50% instead of the default 100% utilisation - although in my case my laptop has been running at 100% CPU utilisation for over 2 years with no issues running the F@H client.

Another point to note is GPU folding typically gives at least a 100 to 1000 time better efficiency compared to CPU folding, so unless your laptop is a Core i7 CPU with 4 cores and more then you are better off just using your GPU to fold.

If you need more information please feel free to post in the F@M forum. Fold on! biggrin.gif

For your CPU, sounds like you could have downloaded the uniprocesser client - try the SMP client instead and you should see it using all 8 logical cores. Then you can certainly lower the CPU utilisation when you configure the client by run the SMP client with the flag "-configonly -smp". Example below :

User name [Anonymous]? hackremo
Team Number [0]? 2999
Passkey []? <you can get your passkey here. Passkey FAQ here>
Use proxy (yes/no) [no]?
Acceptable size of work assignment and work result packets (bigger units
may have large memory demands) -- 'small' is <5MB, 'normal' is <10MB, and
'big' is >10MB (small/normal/big) [normal]? big
Change advanced options (yes/no) [no]? yes
Core Priority (idle/low) [idle]?
CPU usage requested (5-100) [100]? <any value you like, eg 90% as you said>
Disable highly optimized assembly code (no/yes) [no]?
Pause if battery power is being used (useful for laptops) (no/yes) [no]? yes
Interval, in minutes, between checkpoints (3-30) [15]?
Memory, in MB, to indicate (4083 available) [4083]?
Set -advmethods flag always, requesting new advanced
scientific cores and/or work units if available (no/yes) [no]? yes
Ignore any deadline information (mainly useful if
system clock frequently has errors) (no/yes) [no]?
Machine ID (1-16) [1]?
Launch automatically, install as a service in this directory (yes/no) [no]? <enter YES so F@H starts up as as service everytime you start your PC, or no if you plan to start it up manually>
The following options require you to restart the client before they take effect
Disable CPU affinity lock (no/yes) [no]?
Additional client parameters []?
IP address to bind core to (for viewer) []?

Hope this helps! Let me know if you need more info. Fold on! biggrin.gif

Then you can certainly lower the CPU utilisation when you configure the client by run the SMP client with the flag "-configonly -smp". Example below :

User name [Anonymous]? hackremo
Team Number [0]? 2999
Passkey []? <you can get your passkey here. Passkey FAQ here>
Use proxy (yes/no) [no]?
Acceptable size of work assignment and work result packets (bigger units
may have large memory demands) -- 'small' is <5MB, 'normal' is <10MB, and
'big' is >10MB (small/normal/big) [normal]? big
Change advanced options (yes/no) [no]? yes
Core Priority (idle/low) [idle]?
CPU usage requested (5-100) [100]? <any value you like, eg 90% as you said>
Disable highly optimized assembly code (no/yes) [no]?
Pause if battery power is being used (useful for laptops) (no/yes) [no]? yes
Interval, in minutes, between checkpoints (3-30) [15]?
Memory, in MB, to indicate (4083 available) [4083]?
Set -advmethods flag always, requesting new advanced
  scientific cores and/or work units if available (no/yes) [no]? yes
Ignore any deadline information (mainly useful if
system clock frequently has errors) (no/yes) [no]?
Machine ID (1-16) [1]?
Launch automatically, install as a service in this directory (yes/no) [no]? <enter YES so F@H starts up as as service everytime you start your PC, or no if you plan to start it up manually>
The following options require you to restart the client before they take effect
Disable CPU affinity lock (no/yes) [no]?
Additional client parameters []?
IP address to bind core to (for viewer) []?

Hope this helps! Let me know if you need more info. Fold on! biggrin.gif

I run 4 cpu smp client and at background 1 gpu client for gtx 260m...you see the performance graph average only 50%..

Scientific cores and/or work units if available (no/yes) [no]? yes...this setting i put NO for all cpu client...is it give big

effect on work unit???

i think run 1 or 2 smp client is enough.
because smp client are multi threading. unsure.gif

Sure! For Folding@Home you can use either your CPU or GPU. In my case I use GPU primarily as my CPU is too old, and would not give me good efficiency. I have a GTX460 and a 8800gt folding 24/7.

Would you like to join us as well? biggrin.gif

Ok I think I see your problem - yep, just 1 SMP client is sufficient. When it starts up it should detect you have 8 logical cores and use that accordingly. Secondly, since you are folding on your CPU and GPU, you have to use different machine ids. Eg if your GPU is set to 2, then you need to set your SMP client to use another number e.g. 1.

Since you are using both SMP and GPU clients, I recommend the following :

1. Start SMP client with parameter "-smp 7" so it only uses 7 cores, we should reserve one CPU core for the GPU
2. Run your GPU client normally - and right-click the GPU process (normally FAHcore_15.exe) -> Set Affinity and set it to use the remaining 8th core

Then you will have optimal points per day. Hope this helps! I see [url=http://folding.extremeoverclocking.com/user_summary.php?s=&u=535070your stats[/url] in EOC already.

Well done! Fold on biggrin.gif

not at all! Very glad you can join us in F@M - feel free to post in the forum as well.

If you are starting the client as a service (if you answered YES to start as as service under the -configonly option) then you need to use regedit -> Find "Folding@Home" and append "-smp 7" to the FAH service commandline.

If you're starting your SMP client eg from a Windows shortcut then just append it accordingly e.g. under the Target :

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Folding@home\Folding@home\Folding@home.exe" -smp 7

Fold on! biggrin.gif

Ah no wonder! Possible to get your Evo kaki's to start folding again (eg pWs? I think only phunkydude folding for Evo now... sad.gif)

Folding on your laptop is not so ideal because of the extra heat generated, so please make sure it's well ventilated!

Ok your SMP client does not look good as it is still folding the normal Gromacs core. If it is SMP it should be "SMP2 Gromacs" under FAHmon. Can you check again if you have the correct client? And make sure to use "-smp 7" when running it? If you do then your CPU utilisation should be quite high.

I get about 14k+ ppd on the gtx460 and about 5k ppd on the 8800gt. My 8800gt is 2nd hand (bought for ~RM200) - if you don't mind, you can pick up some good and cheap 2nd hand h/w and start right away!

Fold on! biggrin.gif

Yup!! my laptop well ventilated, it have dual fan and also a notebook cooler pad underneath..also i use temperature program for monitoring heat generated on gpu and cpu..

I follow all your step..done twice right know still my fahmon show normal Gromacs score...help me..on task manger cpu utilization show NOT quite high..

Check my log, there are -smp7 parameter in it...

if want really good performance for folding.
i will suggest:
smp client: core i7 870.
gpu client: 2x GTX460 or GTX470. brows.gif
but this will definitely need more than rm1000. sweat.gif

so with rm1000, you want a cpu, a motherboard, 2x graphic card?
do you need ram also? unsure.gif

aiiiyoooo...that rig really produce a lllooooottsss of ppd..hahaha.. drool.gif
i want cpu, mobo that support multi gpu at least each lane run at minimum 8x, 1 graphic card only, later i maybe add up the remaining slot..
ram,power supply,hard disk,casing...
do you think can get those USED item under rm1000... hmm.gif

hmm, not sure used items how much. unsure.gif
you can try see in garage sales, look for items below:
core i5 750
LGA1156 P55 chipset board with 2 pcie x16 slot.
GTS250.

the ram, hdd, psu, casing not included right? unsure.gif
if included then with rm1000 hard to get good performance stuff.

iicc, better use avr with your new power supply for long term usage...it stabilize current better before entering your pc...

Wow! I would think it is not directly due to folding, but is probably a PSU that is about to give up soon. I have been running the same PC for over 4 years 24/7 and replaced gfx cards from 7600gt -> 4870 -> gtx460 (both 4870 and gtx460 folding 100% 24/7) and no issues yet (touch wood!).

Let's take all discussions to the F@M forums - see you all there. Fold on biggrin.gif

i plan to install the SMP client on my lab's pc, let it fold 24-7, see how it goes. brows.gif

All FAH clients by default run on idle priority - so even though they take up CPU (eg in TaskMan), whenever you are running something active (eg surfing Internet with your web browser, or gaming, or movies) - it will *not* interfere with your CPU, as its priority is lower than the active tasks.

Eg on my laptop I run the uniprocessor CPU clients at 100% utilisation and I can still use my laptop as normal (surfing, Office tasks, movies etc). Try it! smile.gif

The only thing is your PC may generate extra heat as the CPU is running at 100% utilisation - so if you're not comfortable with this then you can run the client at eg 80% utilisation or similar.

ok, just tried the SMP client on my pc, and i chose 80% cpu utilization.

from what i've read in the site, the SMP is a multi-core client right?

it's kinda weird bcoz out of the 4 cores i have, only core #4 is consistently over 40% usage. the rest is just 12, 15; and the occasional spike of 30-40%..

did i do something wrong in the config, or is it meant to be that way? rclxub.gif

if anything, core #4 is now steadying at 60+ %.

the -smp is entered at the "additional client parameters []" right?

does yours look like this when running the smp client? i mean, the cpu usage (reconfigured it to use 100%).

i remember seeing one folder here in i7 with 4 concurrent clients, while i only have one. i suppose he used multiple clients (different working directory?)

good morning everyone!

FidelisGVR - Sounds like you are still using the classic uniprocessor client. As saturn85 mentioned, you need to use the SMP client, and start it with the "-smp" flag e.g. "fah.exe -configonly -smp" for first time config, and then ensure it has the "-smp" flag everytime after that. If you are running the console client and starting it as service then ensure you regedit the service commandline parameter to include the "-smp" flag as well.

Wow another GTX460 babeh! What are your gpu/shader clocks? For mine it is overclocked to 830/1660 @ 1V and it averages 61-63C at 100% load, so quite nice and not too hot.

Just watch your electricity bill and the temps and you'll be fine. Looking forward to seeing you in the top 25 producer list too biggrin.gif

@ diademz: i'm pretty sure i DLed the smp client... the size is less than 1 MB, correct?

i see i missed some steps there..

so what i should do is: create shortcut to desktop → r-click shortcut → at properties, i type in -configonly -smp ?

btw, i'm not starting the client as a service.

my gtx460 is all stock clock.. i don't see any need for me to OC it.. laugh.gif

it's an Asus gtx460 TOP direct cu 1GB version. idles at 39 C, while folding it shoots to around the same temps as yours, 61-63C.

Assuming you've downloaded the SMP client into e.g. C:\folding, open Command Prompt and navigate into this directory then type "fah.exe -configonly -smp" - 1st time configuration. If you don't run it as as as service, just ensure the shortcut has "-smp" and the "Start In" folder is pointing to C:\folding

Nice! That's the same card I got. I undervolted it to 1V and it's stable 24/7. You may want to try that to get cooler temps too (and less electricity bill!)

Please check this checklist to get bigger WU by using smp- bigadv flag...

QUOTE
-bigadv checklist

These are the requirements to recieve -bigadv WUs: 

1.8 or more physical or logical cores.

2. 0.5 GB of ram per core dedicated to folding

3. You must have the Linux Client 6.29, or the Intel/OSX client, available from the main download page.

4. You must have a passkey

5. You must select big WUs in config 

6. Advanced Methods must be turned off in advanced configuration 

7. The proper start string is -bigadv -smp X -verbosity 9 (order doesn't matter) either in extra paramaters of advanced configuration or in the start string. X = number of FAH processes to run. You can set this number to number of cpu cores - 1, to allow cpu cycles for multiple GPU clients. 

8. If you're running in a VMware Player 3.0.0 VM: you MUST edit the VMware Configuration File (.vmx) and change numvcpus from "4" to "8" and add priority.ungrabbed="idle"; You need 4300 MB of ram to run a full unix distro, 4200 MB for a light distro

9. Successfully complete 10 a2 or a3 WUs within the preferred deadline with your passkey to be eligible for the bonus. If you've folded the requisite qualifying WUs on any machine with your passkey, the -bigadv bonus will be awarded on your first -bigadv WU. If you have never used a passkey, fold 10 normal a2 or a3 WUs, after adding the passkey, before adding the -bigadv flag.

On the off chance that a long ago fixed problem has reentered the scene with this client, I suggest you enter an amount of memory to report to the assignment server during config. This isn't necessary if your client.cfg shows a memory amount.

taken from overclockers.com


The checklist number 1. seem give problem to you, if not mistaken you fold with i5 760 which only have 4 core and 4 thread only that not meet the requirment..

The system must have a recent dual core processor or better to run this client with the -smp switch in SMP mode. Four cores or more are strongly recommended.

You will need to use both of the Folding@Home application.
One would be for the processor, which would be in the link on the first post on the first page.

The other one is in the "High End Clients section".

Welcome yshiuan! saturn85 is correct - you can use both the CPU SMP client and the GPU client to fold on both your X4 and 8600GTS.

Some things to consider beforehand - if you start folding and decide to do so 24/7 (as folding IS ADDICTIVE smile.gif) then be wary about your electricity bills, especially if you are not paying for them.

To kick you off - download the SMP client and configure it as per this guide. Then for GPU client, follow this guide.

Your X4 should be able to generate between 5k-7k ppd, whilst the 8600gts about 2k ppd making close to 10k ppd!

Do read the first post if you have not done so as it explains why we are doing it and what we get out of it.

If you have further questions, please post in the F@M forum!

Thanks for joining us once again, and fold on! biggrin.gif

Can't identify which project it is based on your viewer - do you mind posting your FAHmon screenie or FAHlog.txt? I run with the "-advmethods" parameter and just picked up the p6811 protein - this is one is hardcore and also increased my GPU temps by 8-10C to about 71C (from 61C).

If you don't want these state-of-the-art proteins then drop the "-advmethods" flag and you should pick up the "normal" proteins. It'd be a shame to lose you otherwise!

Looks like you also picked up project 6800 (similar to 6811) - this one is also a "heavy" and indeed GPU temps would increase a little more.

I wouldn't worry too much about the GPU temps @ 66C - playnig demanding 3d games would definitely stress it as high (or even higher eg if you stresstest using Furmark or ATItool).

Another important point is the GTX460 is spec'ed to a max temp of 104C - so I won't worry too much. As long as there is adequate case cooling you should be fine. If you're really worried then run it at e.g. 80% GPU utlisation.

Which GTX460 did you get?

Hmm now that you mention it I do remember getting a buzz when I was trying to o/c the hell out of my card a few weeks back, but I forgot all about it - now I don't have it anymore. Did you try undervolting it to reduce the temps?
If you play games, try a game that stresses the card and see if you get the buzz too?

OK, I just googled it and it appears it is quite apparent in some cards. Quoting from the ASUS rep :
QUOTE
JayCop,
The hissing or whining noise is coming from the chokes. It is a vibration that occurs when there is heavy heavy load like furmark or in this case folding. All of the 200 series and 400 series i have ran for folding make this noise, Even ATI cards. Most chokes will have some form of vibration, its just a matter of how long the heavy load is to elongate the vibration. Even in games, it will occur, but in game, you will only be in heavy load for a split second, where you may not even notice the noise coming from the GPU

QUOTE
jaycop, MSI actually uses a fully sealed choke so you don't hear the vibration or hissing sound. I wont stop you from buying the MSI card if it accomplishes what you need it to do, but i will also say that just because MSI uses fully sealed chokes and in a folding situation you hear less or no vibrations, doesn't mean the ASUS card is inferior. (not saying you did but for those that may be wondering) there are also many great advantages to the ASUS card like dust proof fans, which we have sealed ball bearing fans to increase fan life. but then again if you go water, that doesn't really matter... very nice heatsink design and the overlocking potential on the ASUS GTX460 is very high compared to many competitors out there. no reference or non reference are ever alike. The Vbios that we have implemented is different to our competitors. so if you you're assuming a GTX460 is the same as any other GTX460, the answer is no, there will always be some difference. even in choke design. Goodluck with your final decision


So it's apparently quite "normal" Mine is gone for now AFAIK...

Am using an Enermax FMA2 535W from the same home PC running 24/7 over 4 years ago. What do u use?

@ diademz: thanks for the information up there; appreciate it! rclxms.gif notworthy.gif

my PSU is a Corsair TX650, btw..

if the ASUS guys say it's normal, that clears some air of anxiety.. (a bit..sweat.gif)

in any case, i just found out that pressing the F-keys with the viewer can yield rather interesting results... for example:

so if u fold using gpu client ( ver. systray) open the viewer → press F5 → ????? → PROFIT!! (the nvidia logo turns to ati)

try to spam the f-keys, see what u got.. rclxms.gif

EDIT: F3 to F6 changes the viewer screen from nvidia to ati, the difference being the way the protein molecules are displayed. try it out.. laugh.gif

CPU for sure. For GPUs, Nvidia depends on the shader clock speed, and ATI I think is the general GPU clock speed.

Glad to hear that. thumbup.gif

1) Yes, you need internet connection to download and upload your WU (work units)
2) It is up to you. We normally set to 100% but you can set to whatever percentage you want

yes, you need separate client for them. brows.gif
CPU - uniprocessor client, smp client.
GPU - gpu client.

the uniprocessor client is their classic client with lower credit.
smp client and gpu client are high performance client with higher credit. brows.gif

you can found high performance client here: biggrin.gif

Actually, I install finish already, thats why i say tricky...so many words XD

And I'm not using it already, I noticed my cpu temp would skyrocket, so Im using the uniprocessor one already, which is now at Working(117/250), so I guess its working.

GPU one ran fine instantly.

I'm running a i7-950 and GTX570, both purely stock.

yes, the uniprocessor client is working.
but it is really great if you can use smp client,
since core i7 950 is a really fast cpu and can give you massive points. wink.gif

the folding@home is a project created by reknowned Stanford University in the USA and its main purpose is to find cures for protein-related diseases such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, cancer, Huntington's diseases, and others.

after install the software it will download work unit and start folding.
after the work unit have finish, it will send back the result to stanford. biggrin.gif

Wait till I get a new cooler first, then I'll run the SMP.. 80+c when using the SMP.

GPU temps at around 60c coz i put fan almost to max

Welcome to F@M FauxHawk! Don't bother with the unirprocessor CPU client especially on your i7, you can still fold on your GTX570 until you get a better CPU cooler and try the SMP client.

If you have further questions about what F@H is about, please do post in the F@M forums instead.

See you there!

You have a 950 right? That's ONE 4-core, 8-thread processor, can run SMP with -bigadv that allow you to get huge amount of credits once you complete in the preferred time.
If you have a decent cooling for your rig and very nice air-cond room, you should use the SMP with -bigadv, it'll helps lots.

bigadv only works in Windows - you'll need a passkey, and to qualify for bigadv you need to have folded 10 SMP WUs under the deadline first...do post in the F@M forum if you have any problems setting it up, we'll be glad to help!

I'm wondering this also. Anybody can teach how to calculate the expected increase in electricity bill? I'm also still looking for ways to keep my gpu cool. GTX 570 at 65c at 80% fan speed is like airplane already.

hye..sooryy for late response..being busy with test.. tongue.gif
first of all mind, listed your folding rig...what gpu and cpu use..

for electricity bill on 24/7 operation,first you need calculate using below calculator how much power your rig consume...
once you know how many wattage your rig use..post it here..i will calculate it for you..
for instance, i can only give you approximate amount not much accurate but can use as reference..
Power Supply calculator

refer to my post above for electric bill..

gtx 570 use newer chip which GF 110 which highly power effecient and produce less heat..
is your case is well ventilate with cool air??
do you overclock your gtx 570??

my overclock gtx 460 at 900mhz core clock temp at 62'c on 24/7 folding operation..

Lets say 600w at full load. using worst case scenario, what will the the expected increase?

About the temp, i think it's decent, only a bit too noisy at that temp.

soorry for late reply..

for 600 watt worst case scenario, i assume you ar domestic user and live in malaysia..
below is tnb tariff..
user posted image

the calculation is:

600Watt/1000Watt=0.6 kW

0.6 kW x 24hour = 14.4 kWh which power consumption for one whole day..

than,

14.4 x 31 days = 446.4 kWh which for 1 month power consumption..

bill rate for domestic user more than 400 kWh per month is 28.6 sen

total is,

446.4 kWh x 0.286 sen= RM 127.70 (approximate)

thats abnormal..usually folding@home client will lower the resource it self when interface with any high resource program..

for example when you fold and surf at the same time..it wont cause hang..

do you overclock your pc...?? hmm.gif
if you have instability running folding@home at stock clock means there something wrong with your rig..
usually fold with 100% gpu wont cause any hang..i do fold with many card, the worst case scenario is your card automatically downclock to 2D clock speed..

70+ is ok and safe for both cpu and gpu..it wont burn or cause any thermal damage..chip have been test to run max at 100'c, so you still have a lot of headroom..

First of all, I would like to apologize for the profanities and harsh words in the following message.

We have a very heavy rain today. Floods are everywhere.
My heart fills with rage. I am so f-cking furious.
I am so sad to see the damage you people have done to our environment without knowing the consequences.

There are millions f-cking f@ld-tard people and even billions of f@ld-tard CPUs and GPUs.
Assuming each and every f@ld-tard CPU and GPU generate 60c of heat, do you know how much heat you people have generated in the past 10 years?
Do you f@lding-tard people know how much damage you people have done to our environment?

Why do you so f-cking care protein folding while the floods flush out all your properties including your f@ld-tard PCs?
Why do you so f-cking care protein folding while most of you do not know what the f-ck is protein folding about?

So f@ldtard will tell you f@lding can be eco-friendly. They generate the power from solar, wind, farts, whatever...
What about the f-cking heat you have generated? Are you going to keep the heat that generated from f@ld-tard machine in your room?

Refer to the message#1, you only care about your f-cking ranking @ No.66?
You f-ck up people are really pathetic and so irresponsible.
Why so f-ck care about the ranking?
Do you know we're running short of food due to climate change? Look at the damage done in the recent floods in Brisbane? Extreme temperature like -60c in Snag & +50c at In Salah? Vicious cycle of global warming?
Waste of resources while the resources are scarce.

Stop f@lding, for God sake (if you are a God-believer).
Stop f@lding, for f-ck sake (if you believe in yourself).

P/S I pray in the name of God that those f@ld-tard that so care about the "ranking" should be burnt in hell.

First of all, I would like to apologize for the profanities and harsh words in the following message.

We have a very heavy rain today. Floods are everywhere.
My heart fills with rage. I am so f-cking furious.
I am so sad to see the damage you people have done to our environment without knowing the consequences.

There are millions f-cking f@ld-tard people and even billions of f@ld-tard CPUs and GPUs.
Assuming each and every f@ld-tard CPU and GPU generate 60c of heat, do you know how much heat you people have generated in the past 10 years?
Do you f@lding-tard people know how much damage you people have done to our environment?

Why do you so f-cking care protein folding while the floods flush out all your properties including your f@ld-tard PCs?
Why do you so f-cking care protein folding while most of you do not know what the f-ck is protein folding about?

So f@ldtard will tell you f@lding can be eco-friendly. They generate the power from solar, wind, farts, whatever...
What about the f-cking heat you have generated? Are you going to keep the heat that generated from f@ld-tard machine in your room?

Refer to the message#1, you only care about your f-cking ranking @ No.66?
You f-ck up people are really pathetic and so irresponsible.
Why so f-ck care about the ranking?
Do you know we're running short of food due to climate change? Look at the damage done in the recent floods in Brisbane? Extreme temperature like -60c in Snag & +50c at In Salah? Vicious cycle of global warming?
Waste of resources while the resources are scarce.

Stop f@lding, for God sake (if you are a God-believer).
Stop f@lding, for f-ck sake (if you believe in yourself).

P/S I pray in the name of God that those f@ld-tard that so care about the "ranking" should be burnt in hell.

Let me ask you a question. If everybody stops folding, would all the above problems go away? No, not in a million years. Why? That's because there are OTHER major contributors of pollution and climate changes that needs to be addressed. Understand the last sentence first before reading on. wink.gif

Yes, folding do contribute somewhat to the problem and stopping folding would definitely lessen the impact. However, the reason we fold is for science, in a hope that this "folding" project might bear fruit that will benefit everyone. If you think this is ridiculous, then I guess all scientific studies (e.g. climate modelling) using supercomputers should stop immediately as they also contribute to pollution.

What about driving? How many cars does your family have? How many cars are there on the road? Don't you think the pollution from cars is worse? Do you know that when you drive, there are fuel being ignited and EXPLODING in your engine? And not once or twice a second but thousands of times EVERY second!!!! Which do you think is worse? Driving or running a computer?

What about industries all over the world? Factories and industries that churn out tons and tons of carbon dioxide everyday. What about them?

Yes, we all should do our part to lessen pollution and save the world. Everybody knows that. However, knowing and doing it is 2 different thing. Among other things, you can start by not driving and use the bicycle in addition to throwing away your aircon and use the hand fan. ALSO, throw out your fridge as it is running 24/7. Why need a fridge? So that you can drink cold water and eat ice cream? If you say you want to keep food fresh, then a small fridge is definitely enough. No need to keep water, ice or whatever unimportant things inside. wink.gif

Also, search the net on how to "Save the environment" cause you'll find 1001 ways to do it. Now, would you do it to save the environment? Here's a few examples :
http://www.seql.org/100ways.cfm
http://www.wikihow.com/Help-Save-the-Environment
http://library.thinkquest.org/26026/Specia...nvironment.html

BTW, I FOLD for SCIENCE and not for anything else and IMO, there's no such thing as "eco-friendly" when you run your computer at load 24/7. wink.gif

i only read until 2nd page so..if someone asked before, sorry ya..hope can clarify it again.

im new to this folding stuff. i google about it tho for further understanding. until now, some things still quite a mystery which i think, try 1st then ask tongue.gif im interested to participate.. maybe on cpu not gpu since using 2nd hand gpu coz my gts250 still waiting for warranty to return. cpu i7-920 only.. hope that gonna help

my question is, will folding eat up my internet bandwidth? im using wimax so there are capped bandwidth, not like streamyx..

It won't consume much, when your client finish fold a project it will upload to the server and download a new project.

It won't download / upload every seconds laugh.gif

I don't deny the fact that carbon dioxide causes the problem in our atmosphere.
We have got enough problem like carbon dioxide emission.

I'm now talking about the atmosphere you people release from f@lding.

I just hope we do our part for ourselves, our family, our loved ones and our future.

thanks..need to re-tune my brain so it can understand more what is folding about biggrin.gif

@ALeUNe: yea..u have some point there which is heat. 'they' and soon maybe by tonight its gonna become 'we' do emit heat more than normal pc does. i believe my pc emit more heat when i play high graphic game with my gts250 back then just for personal entertainment purpose. my office around 1.5km only from my house but still i drive to work. if i can stop driving to the office & use bicycle instead, after that only i will think to stop folding. who knows when they gonna find a cure or anything related. if they do found, can u consider how many life can be save? i dont have any critical-ill family member but i do think i can do some charity for that purpose. we dont do charity for a return yet somehow in our heart say, ''i'll help u now, maybe someday u will return the favor when i need it''. same like when u help ur friend..u didnt ask anything from them when u help them. but why, when u need help but they dont answer your call, u feel like they are jerks? at least i feel that way, how bout u? u hope foldtard burn to hell, i hope u have 1 family member with the illness that folding may be a help someday. let see what u say on that day. i may understand ur problem which is ur bicycle full of dirt from that flood but thats not really a big point. sorry, does not mean to flame, just my 2cents.

I did folding 10 years ago. I used to fold in every PCs in my office.
I stopped that for a while now.
It's probably I'm in different life stage now.

Sorry for ranting.
I'll stop my rant here and open a thread on F@lding at RWI.

As in the other thread, here's my answer + the response to your reply

QUOTE
The answer is simple but let me be more clear. Humans as a species needs to progress and one of the most important aspects is science. Without the advancement of science, we are not where we are today. Folding is a branch of science that deals with human diseases. The researchers at Stanford found that using distributed computing generates far more computing power compared to an expensive supercomputer. That's why they try to "recruit" whoever has a computer to do the folding.

Now, as for the answer, we fold for science as humans NEED to progress as a species. Who are you to say that this branch of science is bullcrap and what we do have more disadvantages rather than advantages?

Do I need folding in my daily life? No, I don't. However, I look at the bigger picture in terms of advancement of science. I fold because science need me to. wink.gif

P.S. At least our cause is more reasonable compared to other distributed computing like SETI and mersenne prime. smile.gif



Your quote "I just hope we do our part for ourselves, our family, our loved ones and our future", which is why we fold in the first place!!!! wink.gif

When I started folding years ago, I did remember saying that I don't expect my folding contribution to help us in this lifetime.... only hopeful that it will help our future generations....

hold on bro.
you should download the smp client, available here: brows.gif
http://folding.stanford.edu/English/DownloadWinOther
at the bottom of the page there:
Drop-in binary for current Windows SMP2 console client (6.30). nod.gif

installation guide here:
http://folding.stanford.edu/English/WinSMPGuide
make sure you enter -smp in Additional client parameters []?. nod.gif

and don't worry, smp client won't touch gpu.
you can check cpu usage using task manager.
and check gpu usage using gpuz or msi afterburner. biggrin.gif

1. i create new folder under c:\users\ran1337\FAH.
2. i place Folding@home-Win32-x86 under \Fah folder.
3. rename Folding@home-Win32-x86 to fah6 (optional,but i did).
4. i run cmd, there is C:Users\user> so i type fah6 -configonly -smp ( C:Users\user>fah6 -configonly -smp )
5. i got 'fah6' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

what went wrong?

try create in different directory than user, such as D:\Fah, it will save some trouble later on

what went wrong is u type fah -configonly -smp... while it should be fah.exe -configonly -smp

Additional client parameters []?
You can enter the client flags here so you don't have to type the flag each time you run the client. We strongly suggest you enter the -smp Do NOT enter -config or -configonly'' or any single-use flag in this field to avoid problems.

i should type "-smp -configonly" w/out bracket, right? if yes, after i hit enter, it crashed.

yes, you are running smp work unit now. rclxms.gif
the many attempt maybe because the server temporary down. unsure.gif

since you are using core i7 920 with 4 core 8 thread,
maybe you can use -smp 7 or -smp 6 flag instead of lower down the cpu usage to 70%. brows.gif

-smp 7 means you only allow the smp client to make use of 7 thread out of 8 total thread.
same goes with -smp 6. biggrin.gif

the viewer is known as unstable.
i try bsod when open the viewer before.
so usually also not open the viewer.
just let the folding run. biggrin.gif

but hope you can continue cpu folding, since smp client give a lot point also. brows.gif

do you install any folding monitoring tools like fahmon and HFM.net? brows.gif

haha, AMDFusion is you? brows.gif
hmm, internet problem?
can post the log here?

from your stat page, notice that you are running uniprocessor work unit instead of smp work unit.
so suggest you to run smp client on your Phenom II X4.
smp work unit give much more point compared to uniprocessor work unit. brows.gif

how is your HD4870 PPD? brows.gif

Welcome to F@M TechnoG!

If you have not given the GPU tracker recommended by hackremo a go, there should be a fahlog.txt in the FAH directory - can you please post here?

Alternatively please post in the F@M forums - the visibility is much higher there and response should be faster as well.

Very little, for normal SMP (CPU) folding, size of data download/upload is only about 2MB-4MB every 6hr+- of folding (depanding on yr Processor).

doesn't have impact on watch video and internet.
since the process priority is set to idle by default. biggrin.gif

ati card can use, but with lower performance with older client.
ati card perform quite on par with nvidia card with the latest v7 beta client,
but the client still on beta testing. biggrin.gif

No idea how to persuade my friends to join Folding. It is like playing piano to cow ~.~

Friends claim they buy 2600k is because they multitasking alot, as I see lots are just idling + 40~50% during gaming. They even buy cooler for the cpu cooling and overclock 9 9.

As they see my CPU usage with 100% all the time, they complain that will only make their computer hot, reduce multitasking(even I explain the idle process for Folding). Wonder how you persuade friends with the regards of heat, usage. Not sure their cooler is for wat too smile.gif

No idea how to persuade my friends to join Folding. It is like playing piano to cow ~.~

Friends claim they buy 2600k is because they multitasking alot, as I see lots are just idling + 40~50% during gaming. They even buy cooler for the cpu cooling and overclock 9 9.

As they see my CPU usage with 100% all the time, they complain that will only make their computer hot, reduce multitasking(even I explain the idle process for Folding). Wonder how you persuade friends with the regards of heat, usage. Not sure their cooler is for wat too smile.gif

Many people tend to think that having their web browser(s) open with multiple tabs and with Windows Live Messenger and et cetera running while playing their games requires a processor like an Intel i7 to handle. laugh.gif. They're unfortunately ill-informed and in most situations you cannot do anything to correct them on their thought as they're dead set on it. The salesmen at PC shops also often mislead people into believing such silly things like the situation that your friends are in.

Well, if they're not keen on helping out, then there's no point in trying to convince them anymore. You might even get them to label you as an annoyance if you keep trying to get them to do something they're not interested in and something that they have no idea of what's it about.

Look for some other friends, preferably those who are interested in computers to try persuading them. The friends you talked about above are unfortunately computer illiterate based on what you said.

Hey guys, see my siggy. I have an Intel core 2 duo e4500. I just installed folding at home console client. How to fold on dual core cpu? I set 2 clients and each client with different machine ID. For example, 2 different folders with the folding console and different machine id. will this fully utilize my dual core cpu? And can I run SMP high performance client?

welcome bro. rclxms.gif

highly recommend you to run smp client on cpu. nod.gif
available here:
http://folding.stanford.edu/English/DownloadWinOther
Windows XP/2003/Vista/2008/7 SMP2 client console version 6.34.

put -smp at the additional parameter there.

and remember to get yourself a passkey in order to receive bonus points from smp client. brows.gif

after finish the first 10 smp work unit,
the following work unit will come with bonus points. brows.gif

But will SMP client slow my system down? I'm using normal client and it stated that it will only use my spare CPU power but for SMP client, it will use up all the CPU and need to run at 24/7?

won't slow your system, as long as it's priority is set to idle. nod.gif
it will give priority to your work in your pc,
so it only used the remaining idle cycle to perform calculation. biggrin.gif

let say on this moment, your pc used 10% cpu cycle for your work,
so the fahcore_a3 (core to done calculation) in smp client will only use the remaining 90% cpu cycle to done the calculation.
and let say on next moment, your pc used 60% cpu cycle for your work,
so the fahcore_a3 (core to done calculation) in smp client will only use the remaining 40% cpu cycle to done the calculation.
won't interfere with your work. biggrin.gif

and not necessary have to run 24/7. biggrin.gif
just make sure that the work unit can be done before the preferred deadline in order to receive bonus points. nod.gif

Hi to all Folders here. I just joined up to do my bit for science, currently folding my first WU... I'm on a Dell Inspiron 1420 with a Core 2 Duo T9300 processor with 4GB RAM. How should I configure it to maximise performance without having it overheat, or kill my electricity bill? (Previous GPU overheat issue burned my chip, don't want to pay Dell another RM300+)

If you decide to join our group called Folding@Malaysia, then fill up the "Team number:" with 2999 during configuration. Its preferable to get a passkey from http://fah-web.stanford.edu/cgi-bin/getpasskey.py when you choose to do SMP work units as such and having completed 10 SMPs will entitled the next one to secure additional bonus points.

Yes, you're right however it's good to start off with the uniprocessor systray client until you've acquired more experiences performing its simplest work units while learning or researching into the advanced stuff at your own pace.

you can try the smp client. brows.gif
follow the installation guide will do.

no need to uninstall the cpu classic client,

i think stanford assign work unit according to gpu model.
maybe you can set "big" when configure the client. unsure.gif

cannot fold -bigadv with core 2 duo,
sure cannot finish before deadline.
and in order to download -bigadv work unit,
your system require 8 threads.

visit our forum, see how other opinion: biggrin.gif

Hi, i've just tried folding on my laptop. When i check on the performance on my xp, it utilizes 100% of the resources. I'm getting a I7. Initially i'm thinking to fold on it 24/7, but after looking at the resources, i'm thinking twice... new cpu... with the stress, will it shorter the lifespan of my new rig? :?

Hello there guys! I came across this topic while browsing through LYN. I am surprised I did not know anything about folding protein and in fact, never heard of it.

Please welcome me! Downloaded the software a few minutes ago. Still trying to understand what I am actually contributing to.. :/

So basically the software uses my CPU & GPU to simulate the protein's behavior and sends an analysis to the researcher? Correct me if I am wrong~ tongue.gif

points only available after u send in your first WU (work unit - something like handing in your homework), the processes - if not mistaken, one is for GPU fold, one is CPU, it will download your WU for you to fold, let it finish the DL and it will start folding
