Sweet using the -forceSSE switch speed up my folding quite a bit.

woo hoo, past 3000WU's and 100,000 points.
ive also got 2 160 pointers going the now, 2 project 212.

At last, project 638 has been given it's proper score.
I've done about a dozen of these over the last few weeks, but it was only given a score of 128. Yet p639 which takes exactly the same amount of time was correctly recieving a score of 239.
I reckon I've lost about 1500 points in the last month, although I don't suppose I'm the only one so it probably has not affected my position much.

bummer. i dont think ive lost any WU so far anyway.Originally posted by 4th gen@22 March 2004 - 16:17
I had to format my comp the other day so I lost that big juicy WU
ive also just added another machine, a amd k6-2 500, with 256mb ram. running a little each day. running the genome@home, which is now just folding WU without a deadline, since its a slow machine, and not on alot.

do the dgromacs, ambers and qmd,s use different cores, just checked my install directory and i only have cores 65 and 78

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.

ok i came back from school early....toaday turn over day...so u could skip classes so i came early...ok ill expain gromacs
There are 2 cores (FAHCore_78.exe and FAHCore_65.exe) you can check which core you are running by pushing CTRL+ALT+DELETE...
CORE_78 is gromacs the new fast one...
CORE_65 is the slow one
most of you probably have core_65 so u want it to be core_78
Method:
Either make a shorcut or use the startup shortcut (which is already there) from "winFAH.exe" which is probably in your "folding@home directory" (in program files)
now go to your shortcut and RIGHT CLICK>PROPERTIES then change this:
add -advmethods -forceasm at the end of the target after the (")
just copy and paste this.... "C:\Program Files\Folding@Home\winFAH.exe" -advmethods -forceasm (if ur using the default directory..)
PIC:
it should look something like tht
then click ok and when the WU ur working on right now is done the "winfah.exe" will AUTOMATICALLY download the new core_78 and you will be folding gromacs in ur next project
u can check ur LOG file to see if it is using the gromacs are not at the beginng of a project..
but sometimes you dont always get gromacs....so then u will get the use the old core...
remember the old core projects are usually out of 400..
but you will see a big difference in the folding speed with the gromacs for sure
i hope this explains it well....
if u still have questions feel free to ask...
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.

Just a few questions;
1) Is there any risk to my P.C me running this? I normally leave it on overnight downloading is this roughly equivalent or does it use alot more CPU power to fold? MY P.C's not going to melt halfway through the night or die under stress?
2) If I wish to remove the program I can just remove it without any bits remaining and running after I have done so?
3) What is the information gleamed going to be used for? Is it just to be used by Standford University or the scientific community as a whole? Is there a chance that this insight into proteins allow people to perform nastier tasks (Stuff like cloning - I know this is DNA modification but proteins and amino acids often tie in pretty closely - or creation of harmful biological weapons)?
4) Is this actually worthwhile or will the whole thing be discredited in a years time when the scientists find there actually doing something a bit wrong and all this folding info is useless?
5) Are the pics on the user interface the actual pics of the protein being folded or are they just random images?

the points are credited when you return the WU to the server. but it my not show up on the stats for a wee bit. to give it time to update.
it probably will run faster, but maybe not alot, since it safe mode will be using less resources. but prob isnt worth it, since u gotta restart to use it/

I installed FAH over the weekend and a search didn't bring up this thread so I joined the Firefox team.
I've put that right now. Team 34905
