Dang...even with the switch I get very few Gromacs...it's killing me here.

My last Gromac was on Friday I think...since then nothing but little, slow, 400 sized WUs. They take forever....

I suppose you missed the announcement on the latest switch.

You should use: -GromacsPrettyPlease

It happens some times if the server is down for maintenance. As long as you can get another WU you don't have firewall problems. The completed WU will go eventually.
 
I'm sure theres an easier way to explain this prog. :blink:

To much abracadabra in this thread to me. Thanks to Slinger i had it working in a few minutes, while reading this thread only gave my headaches.

You have got to remember that theres a lot of foreign non geeks on this board who would like to contribute as well.

Just my 2 cents :)

I don't know what's happening recently, but FAH is screwing my machines.

I did a full reinstall of XP on my newest machine, now it usually hangs after a few minutes with FAH. It isn't overclocked or anything. If I start FAH and then stop it, it still hangs after a while. But if I never start FAH then it doesn't hang.

My old machine has run for 2 years without hanging. I installed Linux on it the day before yesterday. If I run FAH it hangs within an hour, even if FAH has been cancelled. Without running FAH, it has been up for 30 hours.

Something has obviously happened with the type of projects I am currently receiving (which may have changed because of the reinstallation?), because I never had hanging problems before. I'll keep trying new projects occasionally, but until these problems go away, sadly, I can no longer commit my machines permanently.
 
Can't remember, was rookie the admin when you started that, or was it still 7th?

If it was 7th it might be worth asking rookie for a link to this thread on the front page. Just in case something happens to your laptop. ;)
 
Slinger,

Especially when you're folding Gromacs your CPU-temp can go up quite a bit.
For me this was a serious problem as I'm addicted to "silent computing" too, having a low airflow rig etc.

When you fold (and you should when you have your rig running anyway), keep an eye on those temps.

EDIT:

Motherboard Monitor is fine freeware to keep an eye on your CPU and HDs.
Regard the 65 degrees Celsius mark for your CPU as a border you shouldn't cross.

Han.
 
Anyone able to give me a 5 step guide to 'getting' gromacs.
I read that page but it makes no sense to me and isn't clear. Im not sure which .exe to make a shortcut as the one mentioned isn't in my folding@home folder ot startup folder.

Cheers ........
 
no, when i got my brother to sign up, he is using his own name, i just got him to use our team number. his name is AudioAlterations. once he finishes his first unit, youll see his name show up. were at 569. I dont think of it as cheating if its working toward a good thing. i like to see the whole team progress. im not that concerned with my own stats. B)
 
 
Just to show you what we're doing is child's play. :unsure:

It makes me humble.
Over at Sudhian.com a guy named MarkF build a 'Folding Farm'.
A rack totally filled with stripped boards, with a single goal: Folding.
Every floor in this rack carries 2 boards.
