Half of 10 means 5 active

Half of 20 means 10 active.

All the more reason to rejoice at 35.

It is highly unlikely that we will ever get 100% activity from everyone, making it all the more important to increase the number of participants trying to save the world.

ok am still kinda new 2 folding
so am hearing bout GPU folding and would like 2 test it out
what do i do?

and how do you get 2 see your ppd n stuff, is that a folding cliet or somthing?
what do i need 2 do in order 2 get these stuff?

this is what most use to check the ppd

GPU client from F@H - get the gui version if your new you can graduate to the console when your ready.

http://folding.stanford.edu/English/DownloadWinOther first one on the page

be warned.

gpu client at 100% can carry your temps pretty high on the gpu

can som1 tell me y am a loseing units after a restart
this has happened 2 me more dan once alredy

1) 79% of an 5000 cpu WU worth like 700 points
2) 85% of an 10000 GPU WU like 1900 points

i have bin 2 the folding site and they say this shouldent happen
+ how can your core affect your overall folding and how can i change it?
my (core = Gromacs)

Which CPU folding agent are you using? the SMP or the normal? also is your system overclocked?

Crixx_Creww · « **Reply #426 on:** August 05, 2009, 08:48:46 AM »

yeah good questions winny
if your system is oced and you have the check point frequency set from a long interval, then i could foresee something happening to make you lose work that way.

My checkpoint frequency is set to 3 minutes just incase.

Normal folding agents I set to 3 mins, the SMP I set to 15mins as that's the recommended setting. Also since you're running 2 agents, you set the 2 with different IDs right? and lastly what version drivers for the GPU are you using?

Bone · « **Reply #429 on:** August 05, 2009, 03:33:21 PM »

my system isent OCed
i far as i know am useing the normal agent
cpu agent set machine ID #1 GPU #2 like d settings ent saving or somthing
cause yet still somtime some error go come up and somthing bout d machine IDs
since i set IDs i never changed it

oyea and somtimes 1 of the agent starts with windows, d people never put an option 2 change this? nVidia driver 185.85 (forgot d rest ah numbers)
o and BTW am running Win XP x86 SP3

Nephilim · « **Reply #430 on:** August 05, 2009, 03:41:26 PM »

update your drivers, i think 19x out already, and see if it gives the same error

Crixx_Creww · « **Reply #431 on:** August 05, 2009, 03:44:37 PM »

and yu have a quad core cpu not so??
you may need to change those machine ids to suit

Bone · « **Reply #432 on:** August 06, 2009, 07:10:16 PM »

ok i try d update but it dident play nice with my OS
so back 2 driver 185.85
i go work with it so for d while, i will just try and remember 2 exit folding befor i restart and c if that helps

but dispite my losses am doing good going up in the ranks ehh?

o and another thing, weather i set lowest possible or 100% i still only get bout 25% useage on cpu
but me ent really have a problem with that ehh since i prefer lowest possible anyways

Bone · « **Reply #433 on:** August 10, 2009, 02:27:50 PM »

wow so power just went out
77% worth 1888 points
lost

i think i will have 2 give up on duel folding for now since i keep loseing UWs
will untill i get my new HDD and install vista or win7
such a pain 2 lose all that work

Netizen1 · « **Reply #434 on:** August 10, 2009, 02:39:46 PM »

dude, you really need to double check them settings...

the checkpoint is built in just for that same reason... you shouldn't lose ALL 77% if power goes... at most a couple percent, but not the whole thing!!!

W1nTry · « **Reply #435 on:** August 10, 2009, 09:36:56 PM »

Consider switching to the SMP client, just keep in mind it's more sensitive to interruptions and it WILL MAX out ur CPU utilization. Also get a UPS man.

only realised this morning that my gtx260 hits 8000+ ppd

wow thats impressive. I wish ati could do that.

Netizen1 · « **Reply #438 on:** September 17, 2009, 09:11:40 AM »

I still don't know why there isn't a decent client / PPD for ATI cards

Effort on their part imho. Nvidia put alot of effort into the F@H client for their cards, however AMD I guess is too busy to or just not as interested.. sad really.
