Ultimate Guide To Folding@home

i just got a WU with 2500 in it! thats a biggie....im at 525/2500 :P
also, will a faster CPU work these out faster? i currently run p4 1.4ghz, and in 2 days ill be running p4 3.2ghz.
 
thx I havee joined this team

I just want to ask this is my frist package its called P638_l939_k12m_ex.
and It took my allnight to get 60/400(15%) wu Ruffly 9 hrs. at this speed it should take my around 4 days it this about right?

How about you read the first post carefully again.

I just noticed that there are already 47 KLB members folding! Perhaps it would be a good idea to request a new members group, as it might encourage more members to start folding@home... :)
 
What's going on here?

If you look at the 24hr points avge, in most cases it is the weekly points divided by 7. But not always.

Livy: 61=395/6.5
Lamsey: 55=339/6
Dr Spud: 15=72/5
VB1234: 66=397/6
SummerLinda: 20=66/3

I realise that the stats are new and will probably correct themselves once they've been going a little longer, but can anyone explain these anomolies?

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.

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 ! :)
 
I'm back on with a much faster computer. As soon as i can get my old one back up I will have them both going:)

But I cannot seem to get this new comp to use it's full resources. It has a 3.2ghz processor and 1 gig ram but it will not go any higher then 50% of it. Any ideas of how to get it to use more? I even lowered it, restarted then raised it back to high and restarted again with no luck.

hey there. i just found all this cool stuff & installed the program on my 2 computers. one runs 24/7, the other is about the same, xcept for an occasional restart. i plan to also install it on my parents' computer later which runs during the day.

the 2 comps are working on a size 400 WU each. B)
