good luck to anyone whos gonna catch vb.

also lynx will probably be passing me soon.

Well done Livy.

If things don't improve I won't be passing anyone, I'm fed up of having my work lost by the servers, almost 1000 points so far since they introduced that so called "collection server". If I'd had those I really would be snapping at your heels.

A bump, just for the sake of folding.

Fold on! B)

Well i completed my 50th WU and meanwhile my modem resets...
Everytime i start Folding@Home and click the icon to see the animation it crashes.

And i mean every time. I'm using the latest Fah for about a week orso and never had any problems. It runs but i just can't click the icon anymore...

Any suggestions?

 

[ShrinkyDink]

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...

 

[dougness86]

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...

yeah, worth a go, although the front page doesnt seem to be changing, nice if we could get a wee link next to post count and members ranks.

i'll hopefully try get the site finished soon, im alo working on my personal site and my monkey one. so hopefully soon,
but im also gonna be moving into my flat at the end of the week, so got some packing to do.
i'll get more up tomorrow if i can.

suggestions are very welcome.

edit: also what does everyone think about a team name change? FST F@H or something like that?

As long as the team number doesn't change (and therefore the stats), I've no problem with a name change.

FST F@H seems a bit of a mouthful though, perhaps we can give that a bit more thought.

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.

Quote from: http://www.broadbandreports.com/forum/rema...29493~mode=flat

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 !

We seem to be losing a lot of CPUs, time for a public relation campaign...?
