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

Dang...even with the switch I get very few Gromacs...it's killing me here.

My last Gromac was on Friday I think...since then nothing but little, slow, 400 sized WUs. They take forever....


I suppose you missed the announcement on the latest switch.

You should use: -GromacsPrettyPlease

:ph34r: :unsure: :)

Sounds about right...those 400 WU's take a long time...
yes u are right they take a long time because they are TINKERS not GROMACS.....

:lol:
 
Ive joined and now working under the name TRshady :)

Proud to be able to help ... though I really dont see how this works ...

Have a 1.5ghz comp running ..... 24/7 :D
 
Since your processor only has one Floating Point Unit, and most of the work is done by the FPU, you will see very little advantage. Pandegroup actually prefer that you don't run a HT processor in this way.

If you really want to run 2 copies you can do so:

You have to make a completely separate folder for each copy.

Create a new folder (call it something like Folding2) and copy just the console executable into it. If you copy anything else it may not work.

Now start a command prompt, change to the new folder, and run the console program. There will be no config file so it will think this is the first run, consequently it will automatically run the config. I've never found the need to use the -local setting.

It will ask you if you want to change the advanced settings as part of the config. The only thing you need to make sure is different is the machine ID - set it to 2. It will also ask you if you want to install it as a service - it's a good idea to do this.

If you decide to install it as a service, you should stop the program immediately after completing the config (press ctrl-c a couple of times), then go to control panel/admin tools/services and start the service.
 
Damn.
My computer goes down for a few days for service and look what happens...bushwhacked!

Time to get serious again.
No more Mr. Nice Guy.

BTW, congratulations Team...we've broken into the top 1000.
Didn't really take all that long either...where'd we start, like 6000something wasn't it?

Great! Welcome.

Your name will show up on the list a bit after you complete 1 full work unit.
 
Yep :P
At the top of the list on the stats-page you'll find some cheaters using more than 1 CPU.
Just click on the names on the stats-page to find out.

i also got my brother to join up as well

When you used your own name on that PC as well, you're a cheater too! :lol:
 
It was just a thought.

What sort of crash is it? BSOD, reboot or just freeze?

I used to find that my system would just freeze when running F@H, until I raised Vcore. Other than that it was usually alright, except if it got fairly hot after about an hour of game playing, and then the same thing would happen. Cured that problem too.
