Ultimate Guide To Folding@home

Just got my first 2500 part WU. My other 4 up until now have been 500 parts, so this one is gonna take a long, long time...

Just out of interest, how long (on average) does it take you chaps to complete a 500 part WU, and what CPU have you got? :unsure:

Damn ,

My folding stopped for some reason.
None of my work get's completed anymore. at least 2 days of work down the drain.
Deleted my work folder many times now and started over....

Did i miss a update or something? :( :blink:

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:
 
stupid tinkers, take ages.

I suppose you are right, it just seems like so much of a waste to not do so... Oh well, I'll just stick to the three I own, and maybe try and convince my father to do it as well.

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

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

it all depends on the protein u are doing..if you are doing a simple protein then it doesnt take long time....usually a one WU takes 12hrz some times even TRIPLE THAT it also depends on your CPU the faster the better :D
(EVERY MHz COUNTS :) )

currently i hav P41.9GHZ OCED @ 2.10GHZ the WU im working on now is out of 600 and its going pretty fast itll get done in 12hrz...the one b4 was 400 and it took like a day or 2..

and one more thing if u turn off ur computer it continues WHERE YOU LEFT OFF...
so you dont hav to start all over again...

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 ........

I am now 4th on that list with a grand total of 15 points/24 hours :hooray:

Although considering how I started at midnight and now have 100 points, I'm not exactly sure how they're calculating that...

congrats VB1234

I just joined this project, I'm gooman528 (from my e-mail addy), but can't yet see my name on the list yet, probably because i just started, i don't know.

Anyway, I got pentium 1.8 GHz, with 256 RAM

Great! Welcome.

Your name will show up on the list a bit after you complete 1 full work unit.
 
if you notice, its the more active members who have the higher number, e.g i have 6.5, lamsey 6 etc, so maybe the stats have more data for us, and since summerlinda may not be as active they onyl have 3 days worth of data?

juts one idea.

yeah, we need more members. more people may be interested, since were past th 500 mark, and should be past th 400 within 4 days. :D

edit: as far as i can see we have 2 threats, p2p-community who are folding pretty fast. http://folding.extremeoverclocking.com/tea...?s=&t=34905&p=6

and voz F@H http://folding.extremeoverclocking.com/tea...s=&t=34905&p=11

which isnt that much of a threat.
