I guess I'm part of the team now.. :) I don't have much to offer as of now, only my personal pc running at 2.1, but after my next upgrade, I'll make this a dedicated box. Just wanted to say hello to everyone.
 
Welcome to the [H]orde, and welcome to the addicition. Before you know it, you'll have 5 or 6 boxes you pulled from just about anywhere to fold in your room. :cool: And any contribution helps the cause, big or small.

 
How would I set up another box across my home network (router) .. im guessing run the program with the same info? also, im running the graphical version, because for some reason when I load the console version, and I add -config, it doesnt go into the config. It starts trying to fold right away.. I dunno, maybe ill check it out again.

You don’t “add” –config, you run that from the start/run menu. Actually you should use the command "–config only" command when you do then it won’t start folding once you are done with your configuration.

I do highly recommend the console version over the graphical; it’s much easier to use and less overall hassle. I use the following settings –local –forceasm as my config info. You can add –advmethods but that puts you in the beta program and you up your probability of getting unstable work units.

At any rate, welcome aboard, every machine counts.

Enjoy and remember, this can be very addictive. The “[H]orde is not responsible for how many computers you buy or borg (legal disclaimer)
 
Yeah, just double click the console file within Windows and it'll go through the install if it's the first time you've ran folding else add the flag -configonly <-- note correction to the above it's 1 word Then it'll let you run the install and set it up as a service, which I highly recommend.

Welcome to the team! :)

 
Stay far....far....FAR away from the graphical client. Just use the console client and run it as a service. You'll be much farther ahead, as the graphical client is sluggish and buggy, and likes to crash alot.

does that seem a little slow? I thought I read somewhere that it takes a day to complete a work unit on a p2-400 and since I have a faster system... .............
 
They take a long time to finish, anywhere from 8 hours to a week, depending on the hardware and the size of the unit. Big units take a few days even on the fastest hardware, but give out big points. Once you finish your first unit and see it's worth like, 140 points or something, you'll have a new found respect for those of us with 6 and 7 digits worth of points. :)

A p2-400 rough numbers would most likely be 20-30 points per day(I might be a little high), so if you got one of those 40 point proteins then it would get done in about 2 days, but most proteins are in the 150 to 300 point range currently. Here is a list of the currently running projects. So currently the lowest point proteins are using the DGromacs core and are worth 23-112 points, while the highest point wus are the Gromacs which go from 33 points up to 600. More points they are worth, longer it took to fold on their benchmark system.

 
Welcome to the [H]orde!!


Keep on Folding!! For the [H]orde!!

More like 110*0.4/2.8 = 15 or 16 points per day.
May be double that with a big unit gromac.

At the moment @2.3 Ghz, I'm running at between 115 & 235 PpD depending on exactly which protien I'm crunching.
So with 6 computers running 12 cores and useing 1Kw/h I'm averaging 2K per day.......

Luck....... :D
 
I guess I was hoping to much. It's been awhile since I used a p2 400 to fold. I think I might actually maybe still have one folding at my work, but I can't monitor it.
