:lol:
 
as far as ui can see we have 1 more threat, the voz f@h team, who are on ranked about 520 and will pass us in 11 days. :(

also has anyone else got any WU that use the new core79 (double gromacs) ive not long finished one, 935 and on another, 934 it uses sse2 commands and this is a celeron machine which has sse2 which may be why?

edit: i think all core79 WU are all 93x

edit2: im also working on WU 858 which is a 2500, and is taking about 45min per percent, its huge, buts its worth 160 point. :D
 
As of client 4.0 there is a new switch: -forceSSE

Quote from: http://www.broadbandreports.com/forum/rema...22116~mode=flat
With an AMD processor, -forceSSE forces SSE on, -forceasm forces 3DNOW on and if you don't code either, you run with just normal processing. -forceSSE = fast, -forceasm = slower and no switch = very slow.

The -forceSSE switch forces an AMD processor to use its SSE optimizations. Use this switch only if SSE optimizations work well for you. If running the client under SSE optimizations causes too many problems, then switch to -forceasm, which will force 3DNow optimizations on an AMD processor. Seldom do AMDs have problems with 3DNow, but some do have trouble with SSE.

Quote from: http://forum.folding-community.org/viewtopic.php?t=6170
The assembly optimization for SSE is the code that occasionally pushes many AMD machines into unstable conditions. The parameter -forceSSE simply gives those who have demonstrated their machines are stable with SSE operations to regain the extra 15% speed boost that they had before the default was changed to 3DNow optimizations.

There are 3 types of code in the PC version of Gromacs: Unoptimized, 3DNow+, and SSE. How you invoke them was changed depending on the flags and the client version, but the fundamental code is still the same.

So, with the newer AMD CPUs you could use:

-advmethods -forceSSE


Fold on ! :)
 
That sucks I checked the team stats and got the same results as you all the stuff done is gone. The units complete seem to have been wiped from the user stats too. Its really weird.

Nothing on the F@H homepage about it either.


I almost always notice the size of the units I get because whenever I leave my computer I open the display and put it full screen.
 
can somebody explain me whats WU and when i finished 400 what will happen :smilie4:
so far i did 14/400 but still my name is not listed in team list, and suppose if i shutdown my pc what will happen,
sorry things r so confusing :lol:

What processor is that on?

I'm running 2 of those atm, it takes about 23 mins per % on my XP2500 (oc'd to XP3200) and about 35 mins per % on my XP1700 (not oc'd).


@FlyingDutchman: Better get ready to move to one side, don't want you ending up as roadkill. :lol:

Hello I just d/l this program this is were I heard of F@H. What I want to know is How to join this team? Do I just enter this # 34905 and thats all or do you have to register with a team?
Click to expand...
Just enter the team number and you're a member....
 
im going away tomorrow till friday, so i may be folding a little less, i'll have my laptop with me, and no internet access. so ive got a bunch of the deadline less f@h WU in a batch, to keep it going. and another machine may be off too, so i may be don to one machine, so no overtaking while im away. :D

We have had a few warmer days just now Rock.
Is there any chance heat is the problem?

Like in "Sun shining on your case" or,
"Dust and cobwebs on yyour heat-sink" :ph34r:

Most times when you delete a work unit you'll just get the same one handed out over and over.

Yeah it sucks, been there, done that..... :angry:

Close FD2, i found it out. Because of the heat i'm using CoolerXp and guess what?
They don't like each other. Stopped CoolerXp and Wham there it go's.

Spend 3 full days folding and no points were added. :angry: The bad thing is i did no work for the cause! :angry: :angry:

Oh well...

Thanks for the help guys
 
I'm installing it :D
but it seems that the setuppages are not the same as you posted maybe you have an older build?

{I}{K}{E}

How long does it take to do 1 part/section?
