Ultimate Guide To Folding@home

Hey hey.

I was browsing about my bisnes about Linuxes etcetera and stumbled
on this site.
I have no problem with this, just wondering how many projects is out there,
similar to Folding.
Must be few since SETI has been around for some time too.

Anyways, happy folding. Or Merry. Or Joyly. Or what suits ya.

:)

It happens some times if the server is down for maintenance. As long as you can get another WU you don't have firewall problems. The completed WU will go eventually.

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.

Slinger,

Especially when you're folding Gromacs your CPU-temp can go up quite a bit.
For me this was a serious problem as I'm addicted to "silent computing" too, having a low airflow rig etc.

When you fold (and you should when you have your rig running anyway), keep an eye on those temps.

EDIT:

Motherboard Monitor is fine freeware to keep an eye on your CPU and HDs.
Regard the 65 degrees Celsius mark for your CPU as a border you shouldn't cross.

Han.
 
Well done, Virt.
Don't get too complacent though, at the present rate I'll catch you by Christmas :01:

























next year :(
 
Don't know if this is a good idea...no one will ever catch lynx or virtual...

so...why not start a new team for members that have only one CPU ? :D
 
:blink: But I finally moved into 9th place the other day:cry:

I can't believe how long it is taking to catch up to all the inactive members ahead of me, really makes me feel inferior:blushing:

:lol: :lol:

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:
Click to expand...
Right click on the Icon, select Configure...

In Advanced, you can set the CPU Usage Percent. Turn it down a little if you find your laptop is overheating.

But if it doesn't overheat running 16 hours/day I see no reason why it would if you run 24/7.

Edit: BTW, welcome on board.
