Ultimate Guide To Folding@home

[Spicker]

1. What is FAH?
FAH is a distributed computing project, the purpose of which is to learn how proteins fold and misfold. By breaking down the process by which proteins are created we can find out what causes them to miscreate or misfold. The hope is that this will lead to future research that can help scientists come up with better treatments/cures for many of todays common ailments. But the most important part of the project is putting together an effective model of how to fold and unfold proteins with supercomputer power.

This is an extremely complicated process that requires awesome amounts of computing power that was virtually unattainable prior to the start of this project. This project harnesses the power of thousands of individual PC's connected to the internet by breaking down the necessary work and allowing those individual computers to work on small pieces of information and then returning the calculated results to stanford university. Once the work is done and returned your computer will automatically get fresh data to calculate. The work is then piece back together at Stanford university. There are results and more information posted on the Folding@Home website at http://folding.stanford.edu/.

We are team 34905 and if you would like help setting up the client you only need to ask and there will be several people ready to help.

2. What is Protein Folding?

Most of you are at least vaguely aware of the Human Genome Project. That was an attempt to map out human genetic structure so geneticists could figure out just what all those chromosomes and genes do to earn their pay.

What scientists found out while doing this, though, is that knowing genetic structure is only the first piece of the puzzle.

A map of the human genetic structure is a lot like an organizational chart of a company. It certainly tells you something about a company, and who's in charge of what, but it doesn't really tell you how the company does things.

The reason for that is that genes don't really do the work. What they do is provide instructions for the kinds of workers it needs to get the various jobs done, sort of like a genetic recruitment staff.

There's two big differences between this hiring staff and a corporation's though. For this staff, the "workers" aren't people, they're proteins. And to the envy of human hiring staffs everywhere, genes can clone its workers.

So proteins are the real workers in the human body; millions of proteins doing millions of jobs, sometimes alone, sometimes in conjunctions with other worker proteins.

3. How do proteins work?

To do their work, proteins often have to get into the right position to do a certain job. Think of it like the difference between walking and swimming, you get into different positions to do either.

Part of the reason why proteins need to get into the right position is that they often act as keys to lock or unlock other proteins. The "key" has to be put into just the right position to get into the "lock."

We call all this manuevering around "protein folding." It's just a fancy way of saying, "how proteins do their job."


_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

OC 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.

INSTALLATION GUIDE
Step One: Installing the Client
The first step is to download the Folding@Home GUI client from the Folding@Home client download page. Log in as Administrator (if necessary), and double-click on the downloaded file to start the installation. You will see a welcome screen as shown below. Click next at that screen, and then proceed to click through the license and readme screens.
http://www.joink.com/homes/users/jliechty/fah/gui_1_intro.png
Next, you must enter the username you wish to use to be identified in the Folding@Home statistics. If this is the first system you are setting up for Folding@Home, you should check to see whether or not the username that you want to use is already used by someone else (it is ok, however, to use the same username on multiple computers that you own). Go to the Folding@Home User Rankings page and use the box next to the search button to see if the name you want is already taken. If it isn't, you're ready to proceed on to the next screen.
http://www.joink.com/homes/users/jliechty/fah/gui_2_username.png
Now, you can choose what folder to install Folding@Home to (the default is fine), and what you want the Start menu group to be called. The next screen asks you to confirm your settings before the installation begins. Finally, after the installation is complete, uncheck "View Readme" and press "Finish."
http://www.joink.com/homes/users/jliechty/fah/gui_6_finishinst.png

Step Two: Client Configuration
After the installation has been completed successfully, a configuration panel window will appear. You may adjust your settings in this window. If at any time you wish to change these settings in the future, you may access the dialog again from the menu obtained by right clicking on the Folding@Home system tray icon.

Your username should already be filled in properly if you entered it correctly while installing the Folding@Home client. If it is not, here is your chance to change it. For the team number, enter "34905"
http://www.joink.com/homes/users/jliechty/fah/gui_7_cp_user.png
On the Connection tab you will find the network settings. These will probably not need to be changed, however it is a good idea for you to check them out anyway to make sure.
http://www.joink.com/homes/users/jliechty/fah/gui_8_cp_net.png
Finally, on the Advanced tab, you will find more in-depth settings. Most of them do not need to be changed, but you should set the Client Type to Folding@Home.
http://www.joink.com/homes/users/jliechty/fah/gui_9_cp_adv.png

Step Three: The Client in Action
After Ok-ing the Configuration dialog, the client will begin running as an icon in the system tray. You can right click on it and choose display to observe it as it sets up files and prepares to work on a unit.
http://www.joink.com/homes/users/jliechty/fah/gui_10_systray.png
Immediately after configuration, the client will attempt to download the scientific core and begin to process a work unit. If you display it soon enough after configuration, you will see it downloading the core as shown in the screenshot below.
http://www.joink.com/homes/users/jliechty/fah/gui_11_core.png
Once the core has downloaded, the Folding@Home client will download its first work unit and begin to process it. When this happens, you will see a screen similar to the one shown below. You can safely minimize the client to the system tray by clicking on its "X" button. To restore it, right click on its icon, and choose Display.

it all depends on the protein u are doing..if you are doing a simple protein then it doesnt take long time....usually a one WU takes 12hrz some times even TRIPLE THAT it also depends on your CPU the faster the better :D
(EVERY MHz COUNTS :) )

currently i hav P41.9GHZ OCED @ 2.10GHZ the WU im working on now is out of 600 and its going pretty fast itll get done in 12hrz...the one b4 was 400 and it took like a day or 2..

and one more thing if u turn off ur computer it continues WHERE YOU LEFT OFF...
so you dont hav to start all over again...

Thnx. I understand it now...

I try to let it run 24/7 ;)

Good idea moving it to the lounge, I&#39;m sure a load more peeps will see this now.

[liquidacid]

I&#39;ve joined too and will let this run at all times, unless i&#39;m gaming. I&#39;ve also had UD Agent (http://www.grid.org/download/gold/download.htm) running for a while now which helps in cancer research. My computer is running 24-7, and i&#39;m not even at it most the time so why not use up some clock cycles.

Well done jaigandhi5, for promoting this.


EDIT :- Athlon XP 2400 = 2gHz (let&#39;s not get into that one, ok :lol: (the geeks here will understand))

"Every Mhz Counts" ;)
anyone wana know what gromacs are?

little summary..

What is gromacs?

Gromacs is the new folding core (FAHcore_78.exe) GROMACS provides extremely high performance compared to all other programs. For some calculations, gromacs affords benefits over the current code in FAH (the current code is based on Jay Ponder's Tinker), especially a great speed increase (perhaps up to 10x-20x)

anyone interested..? :rolleyes:

[Spider_dude]

i have signed up also.


1.35ghz i believe, and about 16 hours a day, sometimes more.

[Spicker]

yea and anyone who signs up plz just put ur CPU speed and how long u leave it on...

so we hav a rough overview of how many Ghz running ;)

There&#39;s no point in doing that at all - the process priority is automatically set to low so it will never harm your gaming performance. The folding program never uses CPU cycles if there is another program needing them. It also uses at most 10MB of RAM, so it&#39;s not going to clog up your memory either.

Yes, but not much - unless it&#39;s a 3d-intensive one and you don&#39;t have a good 3d card. Simple 2d screensavers shouldn&#39;t hurt performance much.

For some calculations, gromacs affords benefits over the current code in FAH (the current code is based on Jay Ponder&#39;s Tinker), especially a great speed increase (perhaps up to 10x-20x).

some ppl say that it actually gives you more points as well...so its a WIn WIN&#33; situation :D

Streaming SIMD(Single Instruction Multiple Data) Extensions

Processors & applications that do not use SSE process one data element in one instruction, a processing style called Single Instruction Single Data, or SISD. In contrast, processors having the SIMD capability have the ability to process more than one data element in one instruction. In other words the processor can work harder with the same two hands (if you get the metaphor). Using SSE requires support from the application, the operating system & the CPU.

Processors that have SSE are as follows..

Athlon XP
Duron 1 GHz & above (morgan core)
Pentium 4
Pentium 3
Celeron 566 mhz & above (coppermine & tualatin cores)

Processors that do not have SSE are as follows..

Duron 950 & below (spitfire core)
Athlon (K7, K75, & Thunderbird cores)
K6-3
K6-2
Celeron 533 MHz & below
Pentium 2
Pentium
All Via/Cyrix CPU&#39;s

Anything released before the processors listed of course does not have SSE.

Any version of Windows after &#39;98 supports SSE (95&#39; may just not sure). Any newer Linux distro should have support as well.

The Gromacs core also uses AMD’s 3Dnow&#33; which was first introduced in their K6-2 CPU’s and underwent a facelift beginning with Thunderbird core Athlons & all Durons. The new version is often called 3Dnow&#33; Professional, Extended3Dnow&#33; and 3Dnow&#33;+. However, this from Vijay Pande the leader of the project..

So what does SSE/3Dnow&#33; do for your frame times? It depends on what processor you have. But generally, a whole damn lot. With any SSE capable chip your points will increase significantly, as much as 500%.

Why? Well Stanford has to set their point values and deadlines based on chips that do not have assembly optimizations (SSE/3Dnow&#33;). If they didn&#39;t the chips that had no assembly ops and got Gromacs proteins would never make the deadlines. Their benchmarking machine is in fact a P2 based Celeron running at 500mhz.

Pentium 4s get an especially large boost from the Gromacs core. So much so it almost seems silly. Why do the Pentium 4’s get such a big improvement? It is not because of SSE2, Gromacs does not use SSE2..

how to add gromac
First off you must be using the 3.14 client or later. Make a shortcut to the console. Right click the shortcut & select properties. The target line should look something like this

"C:&#092;Program Files&#092;Folding@Home&#092;FAH3Console.exe"

All you have to do is add -advmethods to the end of that line like so.

"C:&#092;Program Files&#092;Folding@Home&#092;FAH3Console.exe" -advmethods
http://www.chinkii.com/uploads/album/misc/gromac1.JPG
Remember to leave the quotes in&#33; Click Apply then click Ok. Start the client with that shortcut and your chances of receiving Gromacs proteins will be increased significantly.

this is what i did...
in the START UP folder there already should be a shortcut to FAH just right click on that and edit that instead of making a new shortcut...but if u make a new one its easier to access and u can move it to your desktop..its your choice ;)

MAKE SURE UR CPU COMES IN THE SSE RANGE OR DONT DO THE ADV METHOD ;)

thts wt i did...
it worked ;)
also not all the projects are GROMACS based so once in awhile u will get a normal one... <_< i got one yesterday....out of 400 taking soooooo long compared to the core_78 ;)

oh well...i can wait ;)

[FlyingDutchman]

Slinger,

Especially when you&#39;re folding Gromacs your CPU-temp can go up quite a bit.
For me this was a serious problem as I&#39;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 (http://mbm.livewiredev.com/) 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&#39;t cross.

Han.

http://www.chinkii.com/uploads/album/misc/Rocky%20Folding1.jpg

I must say i did not read all of it yet but i am working on it as we speak. ;)

The cause speaks for itself..

I&#39;m happy to be of any kind of help.

Ok,

Now I added a second rig to the Folding-community,
this time folding for team 34905 &#33;

This might be my only chance to kick Lamsey&#39;s ass....

I assume you&#39;ve all checked the Team statistics (http://folding.stanford.edu/cgi-bin/teampage?q=34905), and noticed that Lamsey isn&#39;t leading by THAT much :)

We still can catch him...

I&#39;m sure theres an easier way to explain this prog. :blink:

To much abracadabra in this thread to me. Thanks to Slinger i had it working in a few minutes, while reading this thread only gave my headaches.

You have got to remember that theres a lot of foreign non geeks on this board who would like to contribute as well.

Just my 2 cents :)

On your custom GUI? What is your setup, and what GUI were you using? Style XP with some theme or something? Please explain more so we can help resolve this problem.

Im going to bookmark this thread, and check back daily to see if anyone else needs help.

Of course you are, im not folding 24/7, just when my computer is on, which is afternoons during the week, and about 18 hours a day during the weekends.

Also, im going a big WU right now, should be finished by the end of the day.

i get like 3-4 WUs done in 24hrz but some times i give my cpu a little rest for an hour and start again&#33; ;)
(i have it on 24hrz)

i actually have one question when you right click on the icon in the taskbar and then go to STATUS>QUEUE INFO what is tht whats the que all about? i dont get tht part..

[_John_Lennon_]

No idea, your using the graphical version. I use the command line only version, and I have it set in the background to run as a service. Thus if I need to stop it, all I have to do is use the Net commands in the command prompt, and I just have a link to the FAH log, and the info log to check my progress.

Quite handy.

that&#39;s actaully bad for your CPU, if you let it cool down regularly after being at a constant heat then it damages the chip more than keeping it going at full tilt.

The reason is because the CPU expands and contracts as it heats up and cools respectively - if this happens too much the CPU is in danger of cracking. There is no reason not to run your CPU at full usage 100% of the time, it might actually extend its life.

i only did tht like once every 3 dayz...

but now i wont do it anymore thanx for the info ;)
i never knew you could extend the cpus life :o cool :D

so does everyone have Gromacs installed?? :smilie4: :01:

[kAb]

I&#39;d be glad to help out for a good cause.

Downloaded it now, and I&#39;ll keep it running as much as possible :)

[TRshady]

Nice one kAb ...... I installed just over an hour ago ... lets see whos has a higher posistion after a week ....... ready ... set ... goooooo&#33; :01:

[Spicker]

btw i noe y bigdawgfox has so many WUs he went to his school...and borged LOTS of computer....

tht lucky guy has like P4s 1.7ghz at his school mine has P2 233mhz... ;)

damn borger....

its very easy to borg its like a .bat file and u just run the bat file and the cmd windows pops up does everything and the FAH starts up....the person wont even know tht u hav it running (runs with services)

theres a .cfg file as well which u config and put ur username and team number B)

one clickers:
Win XP, and WIN 2k (http://justa-larrkin.com/folding/OC-FAH-SSE.zip)
Windows 9x (http://www.justa-larrkin.com/folding/One-Click-Win9x.zip)

get permission b4 u start putting this on floppys and going and putting em all over ur school or workplace u could get suspended/fireD&#33; :ph34r:

hav fun borging

remember to edit the .cfg file
and put my name in it :ph34r: :lol: j/k

[Spicker]

once again to all u folders INSTALL UR GROMACS&#33; it gives u a big BOOST&#33;

[TRshady]

hmmmmm ..........

My school has over 100 new G5&#39;s .... I have a little idea. Stay tuned :P

[Spicker]

lucky U

remember if u have HYPER threading or some tht has dual processing (G5)

u have to run 2 instances of FAH for it to fully take effect or it will only work 50% of cpu <_<

lol ill try and find FAH for MACs...lol

also im looking for a new sig....(banner)
i suck in photoshop....

btw check ur cpu TEMPS make sure they arent going too high&#33;

for me my temp stays at 44 C unless when the heat is on it goes to 46-47 never higher then tht....and i hav overclocked my P4 [email protected]

[TRshady]

I&#39;ll make a KLF forum sig as a supporters banner type thing tomorrow which people can feel free to use.

By the way, can you explain gromacs? ..

I installed the installer linked to in the first thread, set username and left running ... now it shows:

17/400 ..... 4%

Am I doing everything right or is there more to it?

Wrong, if that was the case, it would be saying more than just 1 active processor in Bigdawg&#39;s profile.

He has so many WU&#39;s because he overclocked unstably, and was bouncing WU&#39;s instead of completing them, they finish one frame, and fail and send in the work to the server, this, a WU is done, but no points are recieved, and a new WU is downloaded.

[Spicker]

somewhere in the hardwareworld post he said he put it on a couple of his school computers as well... :unsure:

[kAb]

why wouldn&#39;t gromacs be included if its so much faster?

edit: nvm i get it now :rolleyes:

[TRshady]

Anyone able to give me a 5 step guide to &#39;getting&#39; gromacs.
I read that page but it makes no sense to me and isn&#39;t clear. Im not sure which .exe to make a shortcut as the one mentioned isn&#39;t in my folding@home folder ot startup folder.

ill explain it to u when i come back from school...

its 6:30AM right now...

ill come back at 3:25PM

l8tz

[_John_Lennon_]

Yeah, im about to take off for school, but you will have to explain this to me too, im probably already using it, just a bit confused.

[Spicker]

;) ok i came back from school early....toaday turn over day...so u could skip classes so i came early...

ok ill expain gromacs

There are 2 cores (FAHCore_78.exe and FAHCore_65.exe) you can check which core you are running by pushing CTRL+ALT+DELETE...

CORE_78 is gromacs the new fast one...
CORE_65 is the slow one

most of you probably have core_65 so u want it to be core_78

Method:
Either make a shorcut or use the startup shortcut (which is already there) from "winFAH.exe" which is probably in your "folding@home directory" (in program files)

now go to your shortcut and RIGHT CLICK>PROPERTIES then change this:
add -advmethods -forceasm at the end of the target after the (") ;)
just copy and paste this.... "C:&#092;Program Files&#092;Folding@Home&#092;winFAH.exe" -advmethods -forceasm (if ur using the default directory..)

PIC:
http://www.chinkii.com/uploads/album/misc/FAHTEAMSSSS.JPG
it should look something like tht

then click ok and when the WU ur working on right now is done the "winfah.exe" will AUTOMATICALLY download the new core_78 and you will be folding gromacs in ur next project
u can check ur LOG file to see if it is using the gromacs are not at the beginng of a project..
but sometimes you dont always get gromacs....so then u will get the use the old core...

remember the old core projects are usually out of 400..

but you will see a big difference in the folding speed with the gromacs for sure :D

i hope this explains it well.... ;)
if u still have questions feel free to ask... ;)

[Spicker]

and just to prove how much this helps look at the team stats page...

i used to be in 25th or 26th place and look at me now..... ;)

im geting like 4WUs done in 24hrz sometimes even 5WUs :)

[lynx]

The original explanation said you didn&#39;t need the "-forceasm" option because it would use it anyway if available.

Now that I&#39;ve added that option I see "Extra 3DNow boost OK" in my log file which wasn&#39;t there before, so hopefully things should be working faster.

[_John_Lennon_]

I didnt know using -advmethods would add speed, but I know that -forceasm does.

[Spicker]

also gromacs dont show going by 1s they go by 5s 25s and stuff... :)
but in the log they go by ones :)

but i always push CTRL+ALT+DELETE to check if im running gromacs or a crappy tinker <_<

[kAb]

so i have to wait till i&#39;m done with my first wu before gromacs will work?

As of client 4.0 there is a new switch: -forceSSE

Quote from: http://www.broadbandreports.com/forum/rema...22116~mode=flat (http://www.broadbandreports.com/forum/remark,8922116~mode=flat)

With an AMD processor, -forceSSE forces SSE on, -forceasm forces 3DNOW on and if you don&#39;t code either, you run with just normal processing. -forceSSE = fast, -forceasm = slower and no switch = very slow.


Quote from: http://www.broadbandreports.com/forum/rema...29493~mode=flat (http://www.broadbandreports.com/forum/remark,8929493~mode=flat)

The -forceSSE switch forces an AMD processor to use its SSE optimizations. Use this switch only if SSE optimizations work well for you. If running the client under SSE optimizations causes too many problems, then switch to -forceasm, which will force 3DNow optimizations on an AMD processor. Seldom do AMDs have problems with 3DNow, but some do have trouble with SSE.


Quote from: http://forum.folding-community.org/viewtopic.php?t=6170

The assembly optimization for SSE is the code that occasionally pushes many AMD machines into unstable conditions. The parameter -forceSSE simply gives those who have demonstrated their machines are stable with SSE operations to regain the extra 15% speed boost that they had before the default was changed to 3DNow optimizations.

There are 3 types of code in the PC version of Gromacs: Unoptimized, 3DNow+, and SSE. How you invoke them was changed depending on the flags and the client version, but the fundamental code is still the same.

So, with the newer AMD CPUs you could use:

-advmethods -forceSSE


Fold on &#33; :)

[Spicker]

mine already has the sse boost without the forcesse flag.... ;)

EDIT: found more stuff...


Crunch like mad? Use these switches for an AMD processor:

-forceSSE -advmethods

For an Intel processor:

-advmethods is all you need.

Want the client to talk to you as much as it can? Add this switch:

-verbosity 9

but would this work on P4s?
I assume the windows client is optimized for Intel CPUs by default, and therefor Intel-based rigs don&#39;t need many switches.

Running Folding@Home has shown that AMD CPUs are awsome performers, but they need to be cared for, like any race-horse :rolleyes:

Folders on AMD CPUs have to find out which switches work best for them.
When you do want optimum performance you need a very stable machine with good cooling.
When you don&#39;t want optimum performance, you could fold without using a switch at all.

But, if you can&#39;t accept Lamsey outranking you ( like I can&#39;t ), you&#39;ll need the switches or a whole lot more machines. :01:

Fold on &#33; :)

im catching up to him :o :D :D :rolleyes:

Wonder what difference it will make.
It might keep Lamsey behind me for just a little bit longer.

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 &#39;beta-team&#39;.
Then you&#39;ll get to test the newest WUs.

Perhaps it&#39;s possible to configure your firewall in such a way that your machine can&#39;t establish a connection with the server(s) that hand out the WUs you don&#39;t want.

I somehow doubt this info is usefull to you :P


Fold on B)

[Livy]

it was more this i was interested in.
http://folding.stanford.edu/psummary.html

if there was some way of making it choose a certain ip. u could get a certaion wu maybe, but hey.

i already use the -advmethods on my machines, and also testing the -forcesse one out too.

[Krisman]

Sweet using the -forceSSE switch speed up my folding quite a bit.

like making the proccesor speed higher than it should be.

another thing you could try, is throtling folding@home down to about 75% and see if it still happens. the options is in advanced confiquration

Well, yourself and IC have three CPUs; I know yours are slightly better than mine, and I don&#39;t know about IC but he seems to do well, so I&#39;ll be hard pressed to catch up with you. I&#39;ll overtake Clocker at some point though :devil:

[Livy]

yeah, clockers pretty sklow at the mo, but i was finding it hard to ctach up with him. hes only slow the now as hes working on sprocket, and now its sprockette i think.

i may be looking into running my 2500 overclocked, when i look into better cooling, and maybe a mobo upgrade, as mine doesnt support vcore changes.

do you use the -forceSSE switch on ur amd machines?

[lynx]

I don&#39;t know what&#39;s happening recently, but FAH is screwing my machines.

I did a full reinstall of XP on my newest machine, now it usually hangs after a few minutes with FAH. It isn&#39;t overclocked or anything. If I start FAH and then stop it, it still hangs after a while. But if I never start FAH then it doesn&#39;t hang.

My old machine has run for 2 years without hanging. I installed Linux on it the day before yesterday. If I run FAH it hangs within an hour, even if FAH has been cancelled. Without running FAH, it has been up for 30 hours.

Something has obviously happened with the type of projects I am currently receiving (which may have changed because of the reinstallation?), because I never had hanging problems before. I&#39;ll keep trying new projects occasionally, but until these problems go away, sadly, I can no longer commit my machines permanently.

[Spicker]

i wana make a website&#33; LOL

I know it doesn&#39;t help, but Rocktron and I both had similar problems. They started last Thursday.

I had serious problems with a WU from project 524,
locked up the machine 3 times in a row, every time restarting at 0/500 :angry:
Deleting the work-folder doesn&#39;t help as the F@H servers just hand out the same WU over and over again.

As a temp solution I made a backup of my WU several times a day using WinZip.
Shutdown F@H first before zipping it, as F@H writes "shutdown in a normal way" to disk.
Failure to do so (as in a lockup) will restart your WU @ 0/500 when you use the backed up files.

Now what is the cause?
The only thing I can think of:
I used a proggy "CWShredder" mentioned here on the forum. Could it be we all used the same proggy? :unsure:

[thewizeard]

This feedback probably will not help you very much,...but I have also "folded" one 524...but I have not suffered any freeze-up at all...

You probably picked up a &#39;Tinker&#39; kAb. (check your logfile)

Also most starters got a 71 pointer, so yours probably is one too.

[Livy]

if your machine has sse commands, then go to your startup folder, and alter then folding at home run command, and add the -advmethods switch, this should give u mostly gromacs, which use optimisations, where as the tinker core doesnt, thats why they are slower.

[clocker]

Dang...even with the switch I get very few Gromacs...it&#39;s killing me here.

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

[Krisman]

That sucks I checked the team stats and got the same results as you all the stuff done is gone. The units complete seem to have been wiped from the user stats too. Its really weird.

Nothing on the F@H homepage about it either.


I almost always notice the size of the units I get because whenever I leave my computer I open the display and put it full screen.

[Livy]

yeah, had a look on the folding at home board, some other people have posted probs, but nothing form f@h team

[clocker]

My last ( and as far as I know, only) Gromac was a 5000.

[Livy]

we were ranked about 170th last nite, due to a corrupt database and losing all previous WU, the database is offline of maintanaice. but u can still send completed wu and get new ones, its currently 3am in the morning there, so i aint expecting it to be back up soon. Link (http://www.stanford.edu/group/pandegroup/folding/news.html)

edit: but when it does, make sure all your wu are showing, expecially your most recent ones, from about 6pm(gmt) yesterday.

edit2: i dont think ive had a tinker in weeks on at least 2 of my machines, havent looked at the other one yet. there mostly 500 and 250 ones.

I should be third when the server comes back online.

Clocker, please keep to the right lane (damn Americans and their back-to-fornt roads :P ). I&#39;ll be zooming past you soon :devil:

[Livy]

i was just about past the 4000 mark when it went offline. i should have about 105-110 wu when it comes back, they said about a day, which was about at 3am gmt. i think. so hopefully not long, also make sue ur credited for all your wu you have done, if nto post on the folding board and u will get creited for them manually.

[clocker]

I think I&#39;ll just pause my hard earned little weeny WU until the server comes back up.
If I&#39;m gonna get stuck with these damn Tinker units at least I want credit for them.

Lamsey...last I looked I was still 1000 points ahead of you.
I believe that I can mosey along in this lane for a while longer before you are inconvenienced. :P

if anyone has probslems using the -forceSSE command with amd processors, there is a beta gromacs core which fixes the problem. it will be automatically distributed soon if you dont want to use a beta core.

http://www.stanford.edu/group/pandegroup/folding/beta-core/

to install, download the new core. close folding@home, and put the new core in the f@h folder, then run f@h again and it will use the new core for gromacs WU&#39;s

if anyone has probslems using the -forceSSE command with amd processors, there is a beta gromacs core which fixes the problem. it will be automatically distributed soon if you dont want to use a beta core.

http://www.stanford.edu/group/pandegroup/folding/beta-core/

to install, download the new core. close folding@home, and put the new core in the f@h folder, then run f@h again and it will use the new core for gromacs WU&#39;s
Thanks for that, I&#39;ll try it when I&#39;ve reinstalled XP (AGAIN, damn NIS crap).

And I&#39;ll try it on linux tonight. :lol:

Edit: it&#39;s a total lemon, locked up my linux system almost immediately.

you either missed the deadline or it crashed.

Just a reminder to athlon users - if you are using the advmethods and forceSSE options don&#39;t forget to add these options in the Startup area of your start menu, not just the normal Folding@Home area.

Oh, jai and nigel, if you could just move to one side towards the end of this week I&#39;m likely to be coming through there pretty fast. :lol:

Yep :P
At the top of the list on the stats-page you&#39;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&#39;re a cheater too&#33; :lol:

[Mïcrösöül°V³]

no, when i got my brother to sign up, he is using his own name, i just got him to use our team number. his name is AudioAlterations. once he finishes his first unit, youll see his name show up. were at 569. I dont think of it as cheating if its working toward a good thing. i like to see the whole team progress. im not that concerned with my own stats. B)

i just got a WU with 2500 in it&#33; 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.

[Livy]

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

P4s with hyperthreading can use 2 instances of F@H at the same time.

I could provide some links if you need any.

Well i completed my 50th WU and meanwhile my modem resets...
Everytime i start Folding@Home and click the icon to see the animation it crashes.

And i mean every time. I&#39;m using the latest Fah for about a week orso and never had any problems. It runs but i just can&#39;t click the icon anymore...

Any suggestions?

Nothing wrong with my driver.
I happened this morning after my modem resets himself.

If i leave the Icon alone it&#39;s ok. Right-clicking is allowed, left is not.
As long as it&#39;s running it fine by me.
Hoovering over the icon gives all the info i need anyway.


Thanks for your help Ivy. ;)

Sorry to hear that.
That&#39;s why we must do anything we can and find that cure...

[lynx]

I&#39;m sure more people would sign up for this if they knew about it.

Another group (newz.dk, team number 34688) were moving along at a rate lower than our group, in fact we had passed them. They were getting just under 1000 points per day. But they did something a few days ago and they now have over 800 processors and are now getting just short of 20000 points per day, and rising&#33;

I feel sure that if more of our users knew about Folding@Home they would happily take it up. We need a link ON THE FRONT PAGE - something as simple as that could bring in loads of new participants.

[thewizeard]

Yes and pin it, back in the lounge...

perhaps we could see 7th about putting a folding page as a sub-content on the new homepage thingy. :D

[thewizeard]

:o Anyone know whats happened?

My folding at home icon has disappeared out of the system tray...now I am not sure how to pause the work ....this happened before after running another program and it only returned after rebooting.....which I might add I do not want to do...yet. In the task manager it appears to be folding merrily away.... :)

[lynx]

I&#39;ve noticed that F@H does some very strange things with the system tray. If you click on it to see the display it often screws up all the tooltips. I assume it is somehow messing up the handles (what windows uses to identify resources) so you get the tooltip associated to a different prog.

It is probable that when your other prog has closed, it has sent a message to windows asking for it&#39;s icon to be removed from the system tray. But if the handles are messed up it is likely that it has inadvertently asked for a different icon to be removed, in this case the F@H icon. Subsequently, windows notices that the owner of the correct icon has gone away, so windows removes that icon too.

Can&#39;t be sure this is what is happening, but it is a reasonable guess.

No need to reboot, simply stop the task from within task manager then start it again from your start menu (presumably it is in Programs/Startup).

[thewizeard]

:) Thanks Lynx, your explanation seems plausible, I shall check it out to see if I can make F@H "pausable" again&#33; :lol:

Ps. Good to see you moving up strongly...

[thewizeard]

I just noticed that there are already 47 KLB members folding&#33; Perhaps it would be a good idea to request a new members group, as it might encourage more members to start folding@home... :)

[lynx]

What&#39;s going on here? (http://folding.extremeoverclocking.com/user_list.php?t=34905)

If you look at the 24hr points avge, in most cases it is the weekly points divided by 7. But not always.

Livy: 61=395/6.5
Lamsey: 55=339/6
Dr Spud: 15=72/5
VB1234: 66=397/6
SummerLinda: 20=66/3

I realise that the stats are new and will probably correct themselves once they&#39;ve been going a little longer, but can anyone explain these anomolies?

[Livy]

if you notice, its the more active members who have the higher number, e.g i have 6.5, lamsey 6 etc, so maybe the stats have more data for us, and since summerlinda may not be as active they onyl have 3 days worth of data?

juts one idea.

yeah, we need more members. more people may be interested, since were past th 500 mark, and should be past th 400 within 4 days. :D

edit: as far as i can see we have 2 threats, p2p-community who are folding pretty fast. http://folding.extremeoverclocking.com/tea...?s=&t=34905&p=6 (http://folding.extremeoverclocking.com/team_overtake.php?s=&t=34905&p=6)

and voz F@H http://folding.extremeoverclocking.com/tea...s=&t=34905&p=11 (http://folding.extremeoverclocking.com/team_overtake.php?s=&t=34905&p=11)

which isnt that much of a threat.

[4th gen]

Twice now since I&#39;ve been using F@H, it&#39;s crashed taking hours of CPU time with it. The first time I lost about 71% of a work unit, due to a communications error with the server:

"[06:21:45] Completed 355000 out of 500000 steps (71)
[06:33:02] CoreStatus = 1 (1)

Which prompted me to stop using it. I retried it the other day, got one WU completed. My PC crashed again today, and no surprise, F@H lost its WU again:

:(
The first bit (up to [06:33:02]) indicates some sort of file system error, not a communication error. Basically it could not write the results to the disk, presumably because it thought the file was corrupt. Rather than send bad results back to the source it deleted them.

The next part (up to [06:33:27]) is an attempt to get another WU. First of all it has to connect to an assignment server. This then routes the request to a Work Unit server, but as the error messages suggest it could not even connect to the assignment server.

Both of these events occuring together suggest you have some inherent instability in your system, which is causing the crash. I&#39;m guessing that you are using FAT32 file system. When your system crashes with FAT32, the last part of the file will be lost (just like with Kazaa). So F@H thinks your results are corrupt and discards them (again, like Kazaa downloads).

Suggestions:
Convert to NTFS if you are using FAT32. It won&#39;t cure the crash but it may stop you from losing your work.
Sort out your system instability - I&#39;ve found from experience that raising Vcore slightly (0.025V is usually enough) can cure this problem, even though the system is theoretically running at the correct settings. Watch your temps though.

[4th gen]

Thanks for the reply. Already on NTFS (all drives), system is not generally instable, crashes are very infrequent.

[lynx]

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.

Freeze in both F@H cases. It was frozen from when I left uni until I got home (I was checking the PC using VNC in uni)

I don&#39;t really want to up the Vcore, running 46 degrees c at full load at the moment (Athlon 2700+, aluminium HS), I might give it a try if I get more instability problems though, cheers :)

ive made a post in about of forum, http://filesharingtalk.com/index.php?showtopic=105179 to see if they could put pinned topics in the worlds, and lounge for a week. :D should give more members, since no-one seems to really come in here.

[lynx]

I&#39;ve come to the conclusion that the new team stats (http://folding.extremeoverclocking.com/team_overtake.php?s=&t=34905) are screwed. We&#39;ve just been passed by "p2p_community". But before the new stats there were no threats. And if you look at their individual points they are quite impressive on a daily basis, yet they have zero points for the week.

Since they have the same position in the Stanford lists (which is the source of these stats) I suspect hacking. The top of their group ("Le_PoUnT") supposedly has had 159 active processors in the last week, yet both his daily and weekly points are zero. And he has supposedly performed 842 WU&#39;s on one project, but only 1 on each of another 4 projects. Similar trends can be seen for their number 3 "xlybox".

This is obviously nonsense, yet equally obviously the results have been returned to Stanford otherwise they would not have been credited with the points. The only conclusion is that the same results have been returned time and time again.

If my conclusions are correct, then statistically this dangerously skews the possibilities, not only making those results worthless, but undermining a lot of work done by other people.

I hope I&#39;m wrong.

The amount of frames contained in a WU says nothing &#39;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 (http://folding.stanford.edu/psummary.html) 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&#39;s are benchmarked on a slow PC (Pentium II 500 I think), and points are given to that particular WU according to the outcome.

Fold on B)

Edit:

Just got me this morning a "Protein: p858_p53dimer858"
It&#39;s 160 points worth, and takes 25 minutes to complete a frame
----------&#62; almost 42 hours to complete this WU
----------&#62; 160/42 = 3.84 points per hour&#33;

I want more of these &#33; :rolleyes:

Nigel, look at it this way:

In those days you had 7% of the points the leader had,
now you have 26% of the points the leader has.

You ARE making progress :lol: :lol: :lol:

Just got me this morning a "Protein: p858_p53dimer858"
It&#39;s 160 points worth, and takes 25 minutes to complete a frame
----------&#62; almost 42 hours to complete this WU
----------&#62; 160/42 = 3.84 points per hour&#33;

I want more of these &#33; :rolleyes:
I&#39;ve got that one on my main pc, and P859 on my XP1700. That one is going to take about 56 hours, so there won&#39;t be any changes to my stats for a couple of days. :(

On the up side, a friend is going to GIVE me a dual Athlon mobo and processors (1 Ghz I think), then I will really be able to raise some dust.

Btw, anyone got any info on ocing dual processor systems? :lol:

Ok Lynx,

I see you in the rearview mirror now, and assume you see me too.

OK as a start.

I think it would be better to give a link to the F@H downloads page (http://www.stanford.edu/group/pandegroup/folding/download.html) for downloads rather than host it. That way it will always provide a link to the latest version, and provide the versions for linux and Mac too.

Spell and grammar check on the about page might be useful. :-"

[Livy]

i&#39;ll add a link to the download page for people running other versions, i just put that up as somehting to put on the page the now.

i know the spelling a bit dodgy the now, i done it at about 12.30 last night.

bummer. i dont think ive lost any WU so far anyway.

ive also just added another machine, a amd k6-2 500, with 256mb ram. running a little each day. running the genome@home, which is now just folding WU without a deadline, since its a slow machine, and not on alot.

[Spicker]

Well done Livy&#33; :)

[Livy]

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

What processor is that on?

I&#39;m running 2 of those atm, it takes about 23 mins per % on my XP2500 (oc&#39;d to XP3200) and about 35 mins per % on my XP1700 (not oc&#39;d).
