Ultimate Guide To Folding@home

The folding program never uses CPU cycles if there is another program needing them. It also uses at most 10MB of RAM, so it's not going to clog up your memory either.

Oh right. Ok, i'll run it all the time then. ;)

(That reminds me Lamsey, i'm owing you HW2, will sort it out soon - promise :) )

Also I read on page 28 about making F@H a process, would this work to spike public computers to run this application automatically on windows start? I've got access to at least 10 computers that run non stop, with little to no process power used for 90% of the time. I doubt the owners would submit to this willingly, so I'd just spike them to run as a process that runs in the backroung without making itself known... What better way to put all that processing power to work than to use it for such a great cause!

Don't do it. It's never a good enough cause to steal someone elses CPU power. It's a good enough cause to keep this honest.
 
thx I havee joined this team

I just want to ask this is my frist package its called P638_l939_k12m_ex.
and It took my allnight to get 60/400(15%) wu Ruffly 9 hrs. at this speed it should take my around 4 days it this about right?

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

What processor is that on?

I'm running 2 of those atm, it takes about 23 mins per % on my XP2500 (oc'd to XP3200) and about 35 mins per % on my XP1700 (not oc'd).


@FlyingDutchman: Better get ready to move to one side, don't want you ending up as roadkill. :lol:

Has anyone tryed running this as a service in win nt/2k/xp?

Anyways here are some direction on how to do it. It seems to work for me. Don't blame me if your comp blows up or something if this does something weird.

First make sure the folding@home Client is properly setup.

Then download the consol version of the client and this. Make sure the consol client is working properly first (run it first).

1. Then make a folder somewhere on your hard drive e.g

Welcome at Folding@home :)
Although considering how I started at midnight and now have 100 points, I'm not exactly sure how they're calculating that...

Well, you have now 26 points a day, so i may have to worry about my first place...:01:
