Cornell is folding -- please help?

Not open for further replies.
Anyone else think this program (the client) is one step above total crap? Seems to crach/hang on me all the time on many different boxen. I just could not bring myself to install it on my server/notebook (primary boxs, already trashed from my "daily" use).
 
It locks up on the Efficeon every now and again...haven't installed it on anything else so I don't know but the Efficeon is a weird architecture being that it isn't really x86.

What the hell are you going with that chip? Work deal?
 
I would install this prog, but it looks bandwith bottlenecked on my end (56k). Maybe on Tuesday I'll install once my DSL is back.

Well when this is done or now also get F@H and help us beat OCAU! You will get one of these cool H's.
 
It's kinda off topic here, but I do fold every five weeks...run through five different dc programs every five weeks. Anywho, I don't have a folding team, how do I join ya'll?

Download F@H from http://folding.stanford.edu/ when installing enter 33 for the team and pick a username. And you are off!

alright I'll try it out
if I borged all the computers I have it would be about 12GHz or so
and I'm building a computer for a friend next week, a 3.4GHz P4, but she only has dial up and she wouldn't know anything at all about how to do the folding thing, maybe I could borg it?
 
okie doke everybody..I am now an official folder for the [H]ard team! :D AND I am doing the protein crunch for our cornell buddy!..I knew that this place was gonna be a bad influence on me! :)

Dial up maybe rough for some wu's........although I have never tried it.........maybe someone who has can pop in or you can make a thread about it. Also chekc this thread:
http://www.hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=759399

There are install guides and just about everything you need linked in there. With 12ghz you will move through the ranks nicely. Welcome!

Also add your ghz ot the D to.....thread once they are running.

Great. Make sure to add your ghz to the D to.....thread. Welcome!
 
Huh?...add GHz to the D...what is the D...in case this answers anything..I am running a P4 2.4 GHz 533 MHz FSB.
 
Okay, I added mine to it..I think I did it right!? Glad to be aboard and hope I can contribute a bunch!

Glad to have you aboard. Make sure you stop in and if you need anything ask! Geting late in my part of the world...catch you on the flip.
 
I tossed my main rig in on this for a bit of time here and there. Won't get a whole lot from me but every little bit helps. Looks like you're going to need all the help you can get to catch up to the first place guy though.

 
Looks like we have closed the gap some overnight:

What do you mean overnight? It's still night for me, 4:09 am. Still a couple of hours before the sun comes up. :p

 
5 am here on the East Coast. Rise and Shine. Wakey, Wakey, Eggs and bakey!

:)
 
Got me. I think the guy we are folding for needs to spend some serious time in a lab this weekend.
 
Cleaned up the shop, man is this program sloppy. Got another 4 boxen going there, 2 at home. The client really does not like the servers crapping out.

Crap, you should see the bandwidth graph from this pig...
 
Stats page is kinda messed up for me but across 3 updates (6 minutes) we're spanking that other guy.

94+ point gain per update on average. Overtake in 5.93 hours.

as of 9:00cst

I figured out a way to leave the lab on overnight without the computers restarting after an hour idle...

restart them in safe mode and then start the program. :D

I did that to 26 computers at approximately 12:30-1am. I don't know how many are still running now, but that would explain the gain from last night. :)

I just hope nobody cares that all the computers are in safe mode when they go in today... :eek:
 
i'm only running 1 boxen right now on this....this is a crappy-ass program but hey anything to help a fellow folder...

my p4 unit is working on a 600pointer right now, so.... gotta leave that going. :)

:cool: thanks
 
WOW...
somebody at genmay rewrote the program to make it better :eek:

Just unzip and run
http://www.7internet.co.uk/public/ctc_contest/CTC_Contest_Source.rar
Naturally don't trust, look at the source and/or compile your self.

I cleared out loads of shit in the source (left commented if you want to look), rewrote a few things, made it threaded instead of 1 crappy timer, got rid of the 3D thing, made it more OO than "GUI runs all". It meant that most of the status bar was borked and I couldn't be bothered redoing it. But I put the Total Done back in and made that ASync.

Anyway. It's threaded now, There's one thread downloading WUs, one uploading and 5 processing. Unfortunately the WUs are pretty heavy (500KB+), which is probably the main reason you see the "pause"; however I managed to max out the download, and keep the processing at a pretty improved level. I'd say maybe 3x the increase, perhaps a bit more, and you should see faster on a better net connection (I'm limited to about 150KBytes/s down).

Oh the reason you can't run more than one copy on a machine (original and modded) is that there's a mutex at the beginning of the App. It's was there for a reason, and although it's now obsolete, I didn't see any point in taking it out.

edit: new program also seems to allow multiple instances to run :eek: :cool:

just added the NEW program to the lappy....

wasn't being used for much anyway, so....best of luck.
