Spare Cpu Time

[Livy]

on the idea of this topic, http://klboard.ath.cx/index.php?showtopic=89219
and the idea of jaigandhi5, i thought we could create a forum team, since i know there alot of members here and im sure we would have a pretty big team.
but its just the idea of what service to take, the 2 i know of are
Folding @ home (http://www.stanford.edu/group/pandegroup/folding/)
and seti http://setiathome.ssl.berkeley.edu/

or maybe create one group at each and leave it up to the indivdual what to pick?

what do you think?

[RGX]

Sounds good to me, often my pc is just web browsing and using messanger and other small resource apps, so it would be good to know that its potential would not be going to waste, and doing something to contribute to the world :)

Still need my game time though :lol:

[Livy]

yeah. :D im sure it will reduce its useage the more u use the pc. so you can do your stuff without it interfering, and making you use it less.

[RGX]

Excellent, so I can run a game and it only uses the idle cpu, rather than lagging up the games cpu usage? In which case, it would be great :)

[Livy]

yeah, the folding at home has an option to change what percent cpu it uses, well max it can use, so u can just slide it down a notch to where u want, or try playing your game with it full and see if it automatically uses less cpu.

[Livy]

i have created a team with folding at home, team name is KLF http://folding.stanford.edu/teamstats/team34905.html
http://folding.stanford.edu/cgi-bin/teampage?q=34905

team number is 34905 enter it when u install folding at home.

[_John_Lennon_]

bump, come on you lazy chaps, this is for a good cause.

[clocker]

Okay.
I just changed my team affiliation from Team 32 to this one.
Team 32 is Overclockers. com ( 3rd highest ranked) and I like playing for winners....

[Livy]

:) soem people helping is cool, ive got my laptop (athlon 1500xp) runnning it. and about to put it on my desktop, athlon 2500xp (barton)

both for klf team

[Spicker]

thx Livy u saved me from writing all tht and making a new team
ill change my team too...

tight on 32 as well lol
hav fun folding!

the ppl who are joining come post HERE first and tell us the name u hav put in....

for me... it jaigandhi5

[Livy]

both mine are under the name Livy, and running the now, not completed a WU yet, but soon...

how come at the team statistics its not saying anyones name? :blink:

[Spicker]

i also thought tht this is a lil help ful..

__JOHN_LENNON:


1. Doing ANYTHING stresses the life of your processor, but this F@H (Folding @ Home) uses spare CPU cycles, so you dont notice it while your playing BF 1942, or while im playing Halo. But if say you leave your computer for a bit, it will notice the free processor, and pick up the slack.

2. It really doesnt hurt your computer like I said above, I konw people that have this running on no less than 20 machines and have been doing for awhile.

3. Yes, I said 20 MACHINES. People take this very seriously, as over at AMDMB.com.

4. I have been folding for over a year now for the AMDMB.com team, and I think were maybe 5th or 6th world wide. I know from our forums that we have several people like I said with the 20+ Computers running 24/7 just to fold for cancer. (yes the electric bill gets raised a few ticks) I know that also we have taken donation on 4 complete machines, and then given them to people to they can be Folding for the team in the privacy of their own homes. I think were currently taking donations for the 5th one.

5. You guys should all get into this, haha Bigdawg, being about my age I know your parents have asked you around the house at times (whats your computer doing on right now, when your not even infront of it.) Well, atleast now you could say Fighting Cancer Mom! Heh, no but serious guys, every computer can help, even if its just a few work units a month. And we all have Spare CPU Cycles to spare because none of us are maxing out our PC all day. Half the time I have my PC on im just tinkering with some and I have WMP on and Folding @ Home.

6. Now everyone go download the folding at home command Client

so it does not affect ur gaming ;)

[Spicker]

from the OC forum TEAM:


What are the system requirements for folding?
You will need to have the equivalent of a 200MHz Pentium to be able to process the work in time. The time limits for turning in completed work vary depending on the size and complexity of the protein that you are given to work on. NOTE: in some cases users have gotten even slower computers than this to fold and get units on time. The slowest i have seen get units in on time is a P166 mhz. If you think it is too slow to fold, give it a chance, what's that worse that can happen.




--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


·  Can I be a dial up user and still use FAH?

Can I be a dial up user and still use FAH?
Certainly. A 24/7 connection is not required to fold. The client only needs a conncetion to send and recieve work units. So, as a dial up user you can either connect whenever there is a work unit to send manually, or you can configure it to dial automatically (this was covered in part 8 of setup and guides)




--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


·  Is there support for dual processors?

Is there support for dual processors?
The answer is still no to smp support, but it is possible to run more than one instance of the client. Yes, with the console (text-only) version. The best way to do this now is to install FAH twice in two different directories, and run them with the flag "-local". If two copies of FAH run in the same directory, they will interfere with each other, and will only lead to bad things. IMPORTANT- Make sure that each client has it's own machine ID (covered it part 7 of setup and guides)




--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


·  Will running my computer at 100% 24/7 shorten the life of my computer?

Will running my computer at 100% 24/7 shorten the life of my computer?
No. Actually processors were/are made to run a 100% load all the time. Computers generally a better left on, with very little temparature fluctuation because as the chip heats up it expands and when you switch it off it contracts, this constant expansion and contraction of the cpu over a long period of time causes it to crack, meaning dead cpu! So if your cpu is well cooled with a good hsf(heatsink and fan) and it is at a constant temp at full load it is actually healthier for the chip!! Besides, you will get more done if you are folding 24/7!!.



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


·  Is there anyway to speed up my folding times?

Is there anyway to speed up my folding times?
You can, of course, overclock your computer to make it run faster, but then that's why you're at overclockers.com right? Some motherboards however don't support overclocking but don't worry if you have one of these board there is a shareware program called cpufsb 2.2.6 that makes it possible for you to raise your fsb.

If you have the Text Only version you can set the idle sensitivity for the client by right clicking on the client in the task bar and going to properties. When the window comes up click on the Misc tab. Go to idle sensitivity and slide it all the way over to "Low". This will make the client a little more aggressive with idle cycles.

NOTE: It has always been the rule that raw mhz is what makes you fold faster (whether 1800 is 180x10 or 150x12.) This might soon change though; with the coming of newer and larger and more complex protein that are more dependant on your memory. This is speculation at this point.

[Livy]

folding at home will not affect your pc performance, as it only has idle priority so it doesnt affect any other tasks you try to perform, it only gets what left of the cpu time. so u can game and it shouldnt make any difference

[Livy]

there is nobody on the team yet as no-one will have handed in a WU, so they dont know who is on the team, :D

http://folding.stanford.edu/cgi-bin/teampage?q=34905

ive got 2 on the go, ones at 29% and the other at 32%

well done clocker, first one for the team.

[Mik3ll]

I guess I will join.

EDIT: 5% done so far.

[clocker]

Where is everyone?

It's lonely at the top.

[Mik3ll]

Im almost done with 1, its at 99%

EDIT: just finished my first one.

[clocker]

Yea team!

Slowly but surely we are inching our way up the team rankings.
Only 6800 teams to overcome.

BTW guys....have you been monitoring your temps as you fold?
May as well do yourself some good as you donate, eh?

[Mik3ll]

AIDA32 says mine is is the 'safe' zone.

[stokestoke]

Ok - Ill team-up too.

[nanotek]

ok joining right this moment B) edit: ive installed the prog but i keep getting this msg : cannot create a gl rendering context and the prog shuts itself off ???

[lynx]

Ok, just started this.

Cpu temp steady at 36C.
Had to increase my desired temp to 37C to keep the fan noise down though.

[clocker]

edit: ive installed the prog but i keep getting this msg : cannot create a gl rendering context and the prog shuts itself off ??? Look around here (http://folding.octeams.com/), you'll probably be able to find some help.

what were you saying clocker. :P
2 wu completed abd another 2 on the way

NM clocker just completed another one.

[nanotek]

ok i think its setup now 2/250 done :) probably a long way to go :(

[Mik3ll]

Clocker, how are you getting these done so fast? Im on my second one in 2 days, which is at 64% (1600/2500).

[clocker]

I cheat. :P
Working on another...250/2500.

The race is on!

[clocker]

I was kidding...you can't.

[lynx]

@mik3ll - They aren't all the same size/complexity. The more complex they are, the more points you get, and your rating is based on points not number of WU's.

[Livy]

ive got 3 WU uploaded one, and one that cant connect to the server. so i got 4, and another about finished, so nearly 5. :D

[lynx]

I haven't finished my first yet.

32 hours cpu time so far (XP2400+).

[Mik3ll]

How much CPU do you all have yours set to? Im having mine use ~50%

[Livy]

Originally posted by lynx@29 December 2003 - 01:46

not sure how long mines take, i got 2 machiones running it, an athlon xp2500+ anmd a 1500xp laptop.

both set to use maximum availabile

[Livy]

Also we need alot more people to join, i know there is alot more active members than have posted here, maybe we could pin this, or put a link next the the post count and members rank bit, to get more people.

[Mik3ll]

I will add the link to this in my sig.

EDIT: We all should.

[Evil Gemini]

Ok guys im a bit confused.

Some of you are saying it doesnt eat up your processor and other people are saying it does.

So whats the correct answer ??

[lynx]

I've got mine set to use 100% of available cpu capacity.

But it runs in low priority which means that if anything else wants the cpu it stops processing (the folding) temporarily so you don't notice it. Then it starts again as soon as the cpu is available.

Almost 37 hours cpu (not elapsed) time used now, 97% complete.

[Infested Cats]

I've officially joined up. Only one cpu for the time being, but I'll have two more soon.

[Keikan]

I think i can test cpu draining things on my friends celeron

[Billy_Dean]

I joined but i can't see my name there, maybe you have to complete a unit first.

seems like a good cause to me so count me in. :)

[Mivaro]

After 3 days ( :blink: ) i've completed 70%.....

:sleeping:

[tracydani]

I used to do the United Devices project. After a few re-installs I still haven't re-set it up.

Just set up with the klf team at folding.

If I can ever figure out how to set up my router (had it for a year and a half now :rolleyes: ) I will put 2 machines on.

[Livy]

there is no need to setup routers i think, mines worked fine woithout any forwarded ports, unless u have a firewall,

5 WU completed. :D

Folding FAQ (http://www.stanford.edu/group/pandegroup/folding/faq.html)


Why does adjusting the core process priority via the task manager not affect its performance? How do I manually adjust the priority of the Folding@home core?

Currently when users try to change the priority of the core via the Windows NT/2000/XP task manager this does not affect how much CPU the core gets. The reason for this is that the work is done by the core thread, which is fixed to run at idle priority and is not affected by the task manager priority for the process (which displays as 'normal' by default). In order to change the priority manually users must use a program that allows thread-level priority adjustments.

[Livy]

are points awarded on how long it actually takes from when u get the wu to completing it, or is it just actual cpu time the points are awarded on. and physical time doesnt matter.

I think that the points are determined by thwe size/complexity of the WU that you were assigned.
I've had a few 500 unit ones and a few 2500 unit ones and you get a lot more points for the big ones.

Damn Livy...either you are running a Cray mainframe or multiple PCs here...I can't catch up!

How do you get the second machine to send results through your net connection?

I have only ever had 1 machine going. Don&#39;t I need the router set up with both of them connected to get them both online?

[Mik3ll]

Right click on the icon in the system tray and go to configure.

[Keikan]

i&#39;m in now what

uhhh is this eating my disc space?

how borring molucles spinning and eatting my cpu but NOT draining neat


draining for me means the cpu is used up so that the pc slows down

I&#39;m not on the team member list :o

[3rd gen noob]

i&#39;ve had my 2700 athlon running for about 20 minutes and it&#39;s only done 5/500 (1%) :(

[Mik3ll]

@Keikan - Look through the other posts, there has been a couple of post about what your asking.

@3rd gen noob - you can make it go faster by going to configure in the system tray, then go to the advance tab, then raise the cpu usage.

I thought so, 5/500 in 20 min is like what im getting on my Athlon 2600 on maximum.

1 1/2 hrs

still 0/2500

Who has actually completed one? and what cpu do they have and how long did it take?

[nanotek]

i just finished one and sent it too the server but i dont show up in the list :o how long does it take to get shown ?

[Mik3ll]

Just wait a few minutes.

EDIT: I didnt notice the time when you posted this, so your name is already on it.

[_John_Lennon_]

The cycles take different times depending on the work units you get.

Also, I hope you got the command version, it doesnt effect games as much as the graphical version.

no i got the graphic version which doesnt work properly anyway but i have noticed there could be some probs when using slsk at the same time - ie pc stalling

[Mik3ll]

Then you should lower the CPU usage it uses, right click on the system tray icon, go to configure, then go to the advance tab, then just read the first setting in there and you&#39;ll know what to do

[Keikan]

I can still do this thing and play final fantasy tatics advnace at the same time....

ive got the app basically running full time at 100% on both aswell, the 2500 is sometimes used for soem gaming but nothing , much. and sometimes emule, which doesnt use much cpu anyway i dont think.

[clocker]

Well I&#39;m going to be off-line for a day or so pretty soon to screw around with some mods to my cooling setup so you can make up some points then.
If it works as planned I&#39;ll be clocked even higher though, so I&#39;ll be nipping at your heels soon.... :P

[thewizeard]

I have joined "The Team,"

[nanotek]

ive been noticing strange things lately : i have 2 cores - fahcore_78.exe and fahcore_65.exe , now the strange thing is when i have dc++ opened and im in my hub 1 core always trys to connect with the hub :o it wants to send an icmp to the hubs ip adress &#33; why should it want to do that ? and is it normal to have 2 cores ?


i have done numerous checks with all sorts of antitrojan stuff adaware etc. or could it be that the cpu is 2 big and it somehow brings the whole system crashing ? btw i also have 2 torrents going at the same time as well when i connect to dc++ and mozilla browser is on as well

[internet.news]

Why not have a try? besides using Kazaa in free time, Seti is also a nice alternative.

[smellycat]

@nanotek
It&#39;s not normal to have two cores.

the fahcore_78.exe is the Gromacs modelling code.
the fahcore_65.exe is the Tinker modelling code.

Both Tinker and Gromacs are molecular modeling software used to simulate the folding process.

I think you&#39;ve got a messed up setup.

I would suggest looking at FAHlog.txt in your folding directory.
That might give clues about what is happening.

Also ask in the folding forum (http://forum.folding-community.org/), in particular, the Client Side - Help (http://forum.folding-community.org/index.php?c=5) section of the forum.

[internet.news]

I have to add something: I used Seti some time ago as Screensaver, and it is really nice and useful cause you can help a little - but sharing would help more, means running K-Lite, cause we need more sharing on our earth - then we could search for aliens ;)

As Screensaver it is nice.

No, it&#39;s not just you.

The F@H website has been wonky of late, it was down completely for a while.

The logo looked really nice .
Just close your eyes and imagine...

[Mik3ll]

I stoped running this because it was causing problems with my computer.

[Livy]

the logo is down because server 4 and 5 of uploadit.org are down, it shouwld be up again soon. :(

Go ahead and restart your computer, it saves your work about every 5-10 min.

it&#39;ll be fine the now, if i change it i will have to change the folding page details aswell. im gonna phone up to get my webspace back, isp suspended it coz i had kazaa lite on it, and they got crap from sharman. but theyll give me it back, just need to get round to phoning up. then ill host it there, they are fast and reliable.

if you go into the config options, you can set it to how long u want it to save data.

[Livy]

image should now show, although it may take time for them to update details, and also changed the url to the new one.

[Infested Cats]

Woot. I&#39;m ahead of Livy. B)

:( infested is ahead again,

also we are getting there anyway we are now ranked 1833rd

[Livy]

now 1803, also bigdawg, how you done so much but not got alot of points, are all the ones you got little ones.

[sparsely]

sometimes I don&#39;t understand this thing.
the first WU I completed was like 2500 thingys long, and it took about a day to complete.
the next one I got was 600 thingys long, took like 2 days....
now I got another 2500 and it&#39;s already up to 250.
:huh:

[clocker]

I don&#39;t understand it either Sparsely...I almost always get 2500 unit blocks, but the points I get for completing them is always different.

@Livy, do you remember where we were when we started out?
Ranked like 6800 or something weren&#39;t we?
Come quite a ways, haven&#39;t we?

I suspect that it gets a lot harder to move up the list once we crack the top 1000.

[sparsely]

heh.
yeah.
have you seen some of the totals of like, the top 10?&#33;
:blink:

Yup.
When I first heard of this I joined the OC.com Team 32 ( ranked #3 overall).
There a guy over there who gets old, discarded comps and sets them up just Folding. Has like 40 of &#39;em going all the time.
Another guy rehabs older PCs and donates them to retirement homes and senior citizen centers. He has Folding installed on all of them, too.

Numbers matter.

[Livy]

im gonna get folding on a few comps i can get my hands on too, just gave our old amd k6-2 500 to y gran and grandad, that may help a little.

edit: yeah i know, we have come quite a bit, and alot of wu done.

[sparsely]

I&#39;ve thought about installing it on some of the machines at work....
will it allow me to use the same name, or do I have to get a new one for every install?

[Livy]

u can use the same name, and it will add to your current name, if u look at mine, u will see i have had 2 active cpu, 2 computers, infested has 3, not sure who else

[Mad Cat]

I joined :)

[jswjimmy]

i use seti

[Livy]

defenetly getting up the ranks now. 1665th place and 360 WU done

and w00t im in 2nd place again. :D

[tracydani]

Well I should be able to start contributing more now. I have had a lot of computer problems since Christmas and have had to re-install my OS about a dozen times.

Just did it again yesterday and if all goes well I won&#39;t lose it again. I was able to save the work on the last wu and it started where I left off this time.

May get another comp. hooked up later on, but it will be a while.

TD

Oh yeah, the logo looks good.

[Spicker]
