Re: Folding@Geeks NEEDS YOU!!

FIRST POST ,,,VERY GLAD TO HAVE YOU ABOARD !!!!

Saw your name on the Stats,,,but not here, LOL now understand.... Glenn


PS you are indeed crunching fast !!! a wonderfull asset to our team, GK

 

Re: Folding@Geeks NEEDS YOU!!

Primary is a P4 2.8 HT Toshiba Laptop (really a desktop replacement) 512 MB RAM. Secondary is a Athlon XP 2500 OC to 2800 with 1 GB RAM, and third is an Athlon XP 2100 with 512 MB RAM. Laptop running most of the time, and th other two on occasion. I might be able to lasso another couple machines yet. Have too see.

It's a good cause, and I'm happy to be part of the Major Geeks team, as I've been using this site for many moons for SW updates and news of the wierd (I mean "Way off base")

 

Re: Folding@Geeks NEEDS YOU!!

hey glenn, his laptop sounds like it could take yours on . this could get interesting.

eric

 

Re: Folding@Geeks NEEDS YOU!!

What are the specks.Eric ? ..PS ALL, I just turned in my secound gromac of the day ..one large one earlier ,,,and one ran about 8 hours,,,will see the results of the secound unnit soon,,,trying to get my next WU ,,,stanfords site is slow at the moment,,,,Hope you all had a great day ,,,PS I will be run over on the boards from our little devil .....NJAL...and his superfortress ...LOL or fleet of PC's .......POUT Glenn LOL

 

Re: Folding@Geeks NEEDS YOU!!

i meant this laptop glenn.

eric

 

Re: Folding@Geeks NEEDS YOU!!

I got three!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
in two friggn weeks
I took it up a notch
and i'll see if that helps

 

Re: Folding@Geeks NEEDS YOU!!

I think I got lucky and got small WU's. What does it mean that you, "...took it up a notch?"

 

Re: Folding@Geeks NEEDS YOU!!

folding faster
higher core priority
more cpu usage
higher draw rate

 

Re: Folding@Geeks NEEDS YOU!!

@Eric,yes NB is like mine,,I have a gig of ram,,,only differANCE,,ALSO lUG ARE YOU RUNNING A hYPER THREADING pROCESSOR ??? if so I can tell you how to open up the 100%,,,Glenn,,,LOL hit a KEY TYPO CITY LOLOL

 

Re: Folding@Geeks NEEDS YOU!!

NO HARM,,,on boot enter bios,,,on advanced tab,,disable HT then exit and save,,,Glenn,,,you can always turn it back on,,,,GK

Just make sure you have proper cooling,,,PS systems are designed to run 100 percent,,,have safeguards,,,as long as no overclocking!!!

 

Re: Folding@Geeks NEEDS YOU!!

If you've got bad airflow, then 100% probably isnt good. If its a manufactured PC like HP or somthing then they will have worked out the airflow so that it can run at 100% for an indefinate ammount of time.

Personally I've always had airflow problems but I dont have the money to solve it (all the cable arranging in the world can't help this case!) so I run it at 95% instead

 

Re: Folding@Geeks NEEDS YOU!!

Agreed,,,a self built system is more probable to heat failure,,but a name brand,,wiill accomodate the heat,,,My gateway laptop,,has 2 LARGE fans,,,that kick in in 2 stage,,,fast and faster LOL...the heat sensors on the MB keep heat at a controled rate,,,PS Goldie,,how much heat differance on the 5% less ??? LOL just curious,,Glenn

PS take the case apart,,and buy a small desktop fan to blow directly in the BOX LOL.....

 

Re: Folding@Geeks NEEDS YOU!!

HT should allow you to run the client twice. Make sure they are in seperate folders though.

As for temps difference, it backs off about 4C which is good enough to stop me hitting 80C

 

Re: Folding@Geeks NEEDS YOU!!

MA ,,Hyper Threading means that one processor has 2 logical brains,,,,HT enabled I can run any one High Priority core program at 50% of processor,,,so my folding even set to max processor can only use 50 % of processor ,,,1.4mhz of system,,,HT disabled I can run 100% of processor 2.8mhz on one HIGH PRIORITY Program,,,


THIS is off the intel page,,,what they dont tell you is that by splitting the processor it only limits the processor to 50 % per program,,,,now don't get me wrong its WONDERFULL to multitask,,,,BUT YOU NEED 100% of processor for a STRONG program like folding,,,or anyother that needs the full core of your system values !!!!! YOU MUST OPEN UP THE HT folding a unit use to take me twice al long,,,untill I realized I had the ability to disable HT !! Glenn

Systems that have the Intel® Pentium® 4 processor with HT Technology1 break new ground by combining world-class frequency with Hyper-Threading Technology to provide an extraordinary computing experience.

Multitask Like Never Before

Hyper-Threading Technology helps your PC work more efficiently by maximizing processor resources and enabling a single processor to run two separate threads of software simultaneously. The result is greater performance and system responsiveness when running multiple applications at once.

Re: Folding@Geeks NEEDS YOU!!

Goldie,,,can't run the program twice,,,tried,,all combos,,client client,,console client,,,all of the above,,,,it was the equivlant of 50/50 of system resources,,,,and sometimes glitched,,,when one unit wanted to send in,,,,the other would crash,,and would loose both LOL,,ONE at a time 100% processor,,,,,Glenn

 

Re: Folding@Geeks NEEDS YOU!!

Hi guys!

My PC will be down for a couple of days. I have to wait for my new processor, and vid card.

Once i get that bad boy XP3200, i have my cross hairs aimed at you Robster!

This will give everyone else a chance to catch up.

See you all later!



cooked

 

Re: Folding@Geeks NEEDS YOU!!

AHHHHHHH yes...sometimes i do enable it to multitask,,,,,and yes dont know folding is running at all lol..mostly keep on all the time 100% folding,,,and still have ample room to surf etc,,,now if i want to burn a cd,,,enable it big time LOL...well night all,,,Glenn

 

Re: Folding@Geeks NEEDS YOU!!

Can anybody tell me the average time for a Tinker on a P4, 2.4GHz, 512MB ram, laptop?

I have set F@H to use 100% of the processor time available to it.

 

Re: Folding@Geeks NEEDS YOU!!

If you want to run two instances you need to change the machineID in the client.cfg file. But thats only for multi-processor systems, but theoretically HT too.

Average time for an entire tinker depends on the frames it has, and the complexity of the frames. Each from usually takes from 10-30 minutes each.

 

Re: Folding@Geeks NEEDS YOU!!

Looks like I'm going to slow down a bit. My Althon XP 2500 OC to 2800 turns out not to be so stable with folding running all the time. I have had to dial back the OC to a 2600 to make it run stably.

 

Re: Folding@Geeks NEEDS YOU!!

Probably around two to three days there all different

 

Re: Folding@Geeks NEEDS YOU!!

Mgrist,,check your pm,,,also i have 2 more units going in tonight !!!!!

 

Re: Folding@Geeks NEEDS YOU!!

Sent in 6 today and have two more to go shortly. Only one tinker sent, the only one I've seen in awhile. Am running five gromacs right now
I remember when all I could get were Tinkers and all I did was bitch and complain, now I can't get any tinkers and all I do is bitch and complain. I swear there's some people that just can't be pleased.

 

Re: Folding@Geeks NEEDS YOU!!

yeah and i can tell your one of em

cuase i'm good like that

eric

 

Re: Folding@Geeks NEEDS YOU!!

All I have been getting is gromacs as well,,,I have panel set to standard,,going to change it to deadlineless,,,and see if I can pull in a tinker,,,have about a hour for my P4,,turing in the gromac from today,then will see what I pull next,,,,,,,and the P3 will FINELY turn in the tinker I started before the hurricane,,,will go in while I sleep ,,,,Glenn

 

Re: Folding@Geeks NEEDS YOU!!

Hummmm that obvious is it. Well back at you big boy

 

Re: Folding@Geeks NEEDS YOU!!

HEY, who you calling big ? old man . (just playin )

eric

 

Re: Folding@Geeks NEEDS YOU!!

 

Re: Folding@Geeks NEEDS YOU!!

Well it worked,,,sent in a gromac,,,and change in config,,,got me a tinker back,first I have recieved in a week,,has to be the change !!!!!,,will see what I get next, as a guide,,,for the graphical client 5.02,,,Glenn

 

Re: Folding@Geeks NEEDS YOU!!

What are you laughing at horse boy?????? A youngun goes and calls an old man old and you think it's funny do you.












me too

 

Re: Folding@Geeks NEEDS YOU!!

What did you change?? Of course I don't know how to do anything in the console except run it, so knowing won't change much. Maybe I could get Goldie to detail it out for me.

 

Re: Folding@Geeks NEEDS YOU!!

eric

 

Re: Folding@Geeks NEEDS YOU!!

On the config tab,,,instead of a standard unit I requested deadlineless....and POOF I had me a TINKER

 

Re: Folding@Geeks NEEDS YOU!!

Well, there go my dreams of catching up with Corporal Punishment.

Re: Folding@Geeks NEEDS YOU!!

LUG,,,how many frames to the past gromac and how lomg to process,,,also how many frames to the tinker you pulled ??? Glenn

 

Re: Folding@Geeks NEEDS YOU!!

thats just wrong


I dunno how ling I've been doing this
I have
one tinker done
three gromacs
and a tinker running

is one bigger than the other?
better? more important?

 

Re: Folding@Geeks NEEDS YOU!!

yes last gromac,,,,frames and time,,,,also that 400 tinker will never be done in 2 hrs ,,they take 2-3 days usually, ,,,,you will see as it runs,,,GK

PS you are not stupid !!! there is a learing curve to the understanding of the processes !!!!!


@ jarcher,,,very funny LOL

 

Re: Folding@Geeks NEEDS YOU!!

Sorry did not know it was this morning you srarted the unit , LOL though you just got the unit and it said 2 hrs to complete,,miscommunication,,LOL....you are running the tinker very fast though !!!!!

 

Re: Folding@Geeks NEEDS YOU!!

YES the other unit from last night is the typical tinker ,,,creeping along LOL,,,guess the units run at frame rates, based on the complexity of the individual unit...Glenn

 

Re: Folding@Geeks NEEDS YOU!!

whats that 3864/400 ?

 

Re: Folding@Geeks NEEDS YOU!!

Thats a FRAME ESTIMATE its part of the processing of the unit,,,you will see it go away,,,,,,and will pick right back up at the next frame compllete,,,,Glenn

 

Re: Folding@Geeks NEEDS YOU!!

If it does not change,,,shut down the client,,,and when resuming,,,will pick up where it left off,,,Glenn

 

Re: Folding@Geeks NEEDS YOU!!

I see that its the FRAME ESTIMATE but what is estimated the frame ok estimated for what?
3864/400?
9.96?

I've seen it lower then 400
but not over

 

Re: Folding@Geeks NEEDS YOU!!

jarcher,,truely don't know why it happens,,,sometimes, a unit has a frame it can not tabulate properly,,,so you get a estimate,,,if does not change ,,do as I said last post,,,and you will be going again,,,Glenn

 

Re: Folding@Geeks NEEDS YOU!!

LOL don't say I told ya so LOLOL

 

Re: Folding@Geeks NEEDS YOU!!
