Ultimate Guide To Folding@home

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 ........
 
Can't remember, was rookie the admin when you started that, or was it still 7th?

If it was 7th it might be worth asking rookie for a link to this thread on the front page. Just in case something happens to your laptop. ;)

To some extend, yes.

In the config-screen you can choose:

Genome@Home
Folding@Home
or no preference.


When you choose Folding@home you get mostly (or all) tinkers without any switches.
Adding the "-advmethods" switch will get you mostly Gromacs (when available)

Then there is a possibility to join the 'beta-team'.
Then you'll get to test the newest WUs.

Perhaps it's possible to configure your firewall in such a way that your machine can't establish a connection with the server(s) that hand out the WUs you don't want.

I somehow doubt this info is usefull to you :P

as far as ui can see we have 1 more threat, the voz f@h team, who are on ranked about 520 and will pass us in 11 days. :(

also has anyone else got any WU that use the new core79 (double gromacs) ive not long finished one, 935 and on another, 934 it uses sse2 commands and this is a celeron machine which has sse2 which may be why?

edit: i think all core79 WU are all 93x

edit2: im also working on WU 858 which is a 2500, and is taking about 45min per percent, its huge, buts its worth 160 point. :D
 
and i want everyone to install the GROMACS thing its SOO EFECTIVE!

i had a wu tht was 2500 thingies long and i got it done in 24HRZ! thts over a 1000 in 12HRZ it helps ALOT!!! install it ;) will make ur score go up :D
 
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.
 
mine already has the sse boost without the forcesse flag.... ;)

but im not using AMD so it might help other people... :D ;)

thanx for the tip m8

FOLD ON :01:
 
yeah, i think it mainly relies on ghz. so a p43.2 will prob be better than a amd 3200.

ive had a few 5000 WU. :P

edit: inact ive got a 5000 unti now on my laptop.
