if anyone has probslems using the -forceSSE command with amd processors, there is a beta gromacs core which fixes the problem. it will be automatically distributed soon if you dont want to use a beta core.

http://www.stanford.edu/group/pandegroup/folding/beta-core/

to install, download the new core. close folding@home, and put the new core in the f@h folder, then run f@h again and it will use the new core for gromacs WU's

Thanks for that, I'll try it when I've reinstalled XP (AGAIN, damn NIS crap).

And I'll try it on linux tonight. :lol:

Edit: it's a total lemon, locked up my linux system almost immediately.

Nothing wrong with my driver.
I happened this morning after my modem resets himself.

If i leave the Icon alone it's ok. Right-clicking is allowed, left is not.
As long as it's running it fine by me.
Hoovering over the icon gives all the info i need anyway.


Thanks for your help Ivy. ;)
 
Ever since today Soulseek hangs when i use the Folding thing!
Tried it without the extra commands, but it still screws up my Soulseek.
When i close the folding thing.. soulseek come's back on....

Help? I want to use them both!


:angry:
 
why dont you just update the first page of the old topic?

{I}{K}{E}

btw. wasnt this spammed before on all the worlds?

I move this to the lounge because I think it fits there better.
 
if your machine has sse commands, then go to your startup folder, and alter then folding at home run command, and add the -advmethods switch, this should give u mostly gromacs, which use optimisations, where as the tinker core doesnt, thats why they are slower.
 
I'm sure more people would sign up for this if they knew about it.

Another group (newz.dk, team number 34688) were moving along at a rate lower than our group, in fact we had passed them. They were getting just under 1000 points per day. But they did something a few days ago and they now have over 800 processors and are now getting just short of 20000 points per day, and rising!

I feel sure that if more of our users knew about Folding@Home they would happily take it up. We need a link ON THE FRONT PAGE - something as simple as that could bring in loads of new participants.

I've just joined in the fun...

Cpu=P4 2,5

Errr, dumb question: I've got a laptop so I won't let it on 24/7 (more like 16 hours a day) because I don't want it to overheat... Is that bad? :unsure:

The amount of frames contained in a WU says nothing 'bout how long it will take to finish the WU.
You can have a 2500 frames WU finishing faster than a 100 frames WU.
On the Summary page you can look up the WU you are working on; find out how many points that one earns you.
My rig (AMD 2400+) is capable of earning me about 3 points an hour.

All WU's are benchmarked on a slow PC (Pentium II 500 I think), and points are given to that particular WU according to the outcome.

Fold on
