Folding ranking...

Cool! Every WU helps! (As mc68k's percentage proves. He keeps adding power, but produces less percentage for the team. :))

I just one of my friends folding for team MacRumors. He brings a Powerbook G4 500 and his new dual 1Ghz. He will be under Macs4Me when he finishes his first unit.

(And I have fixed my home PC now so it is folding again, and just got another dual 350 PII crunching)

Hey...well i finished that 73 point protein this morning. :D

Jumped me out of my dormant state and back up the rankings...and 73 points for the team ain't bad either. ;)

This is good tho'...i got a new protein i can finished in days...not weeks.:D

Congratulations! That's quite a feat.

I still have my 73 pointer after nearly two weeks. Thankfully, my slower machine hasn't received one. :)

[howard]

wow i hope i don't get one of those monsters...

anyway, did you guys notice something on the stats...? we have a higher output per week than macaddict4life....!! it might take awhile but we could become the number 2 mac team!!! pretty exciting.

[Rower_CPU]

Keep up the good work, team, we're only 500 points/week behind LWD! :eek:

Remember THEY ARE LISTENING. :D
Beat MacAddict4Life wow... us a simple web-site beating a full blown publication?

Well, I just lost that packet on me PC due to System Restore having to be run when an old game program fouled XP. Tried to retrieve it, but got an error message about "hash marks match file... etc, etc" and...

Any idea what all those files do? A flowchart of program operation and file interaction would be great in trying to get a 99% finished packet to finish 1% rather than starting over.

So I have a new packet -- on Stanford's "reference system", a 500Mhz Celeron (about equal to a 600Mhz iBook, I think), it'll take 50 days. We'll see what 2.4ghz does -- barring any further system restores.

---

It takes 10 minutes a frame. Thats... 33 hours for a 50-day packet.

:cool:

at this point it's only like 5 of you that have expressed your sentiment. if you guys really want to get me into gear send me a PM saying you want the library machines folding for 3446.

i can set up 1 PC in <1 min. the security cameras help me go faster. :)

I would like to see the extra points from those computers. I don't understand why you have to go in there everyday though. Why doesn't it start up on it's own?

Why doesn't it start up on it's own? they have a program that apparently cleans out the startup folder. is there any other way to make programs launch at startup? if, so it would save me a lot of trouble.

the accounts do not have any kind of admin privledges.

The only other ways to start an app automatically (I am assuming this is windows) that I know of is:

adding a entry under this registry key:
\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

all programs listed there will automatically run.

The other location is in the win.ini. There is a load= (or run=) in that file. (at the top) Just add the location (i.e. c:\fah\fah3console.exe) after the = sign. If there is already something there, just put a semi-colon after it.

I hope this helps.

[MrMacMan]

I know of a few ways but... um... they have some other things attached that if the library saw you loading something of that nature they will kick you out...
:rolleyes: You know what I mean. ;)

There are windows startup folders and folder that lanch apps but I would need to look into which folder these are.

I'll read up on coding... now which language to learn first?

BTW: PICTURE.

I could add a few computers at school to fold but I need a proxy on one of the open ports, The schools proxy won't send or receve data on IP based addresses, thats whay I can't use the schools proxy. Can someone set up a proxy server to send and recieve folding units?

[MacFocus]

I,m folding the hell out of my machines, according to the stats pages of MacNN I am at pos 29 at Macrumors Team. In fact, I really do not believe my machines are folding this fast. The stats told me for about a week I had 4,4 Ghz of power. When I checked again yesterday morning I had 10,5 Ghz and right now I'm at a stunning 11,1 Ghz.

At the moment I've got the folowing machines folding for the good cause (MacRumors.com that is :D :D )

G4 Dual 876
TiBook 667
Dual P4 Xeon 2,0 Ghz
P4 1,7 Ghz
P4 2.4 Ghz

Can I really be this fast or is it just that my machines we're ready with their respective units at the same time?

Anyway, my efforts seem to help.

[MrMacMan]

Its possible that your more near 8 GHZ because dumping at/near the same time messes the results up. Wait a week and check back.

[mc68k]

it's prob an approximation of power. i don't think they have any way of really gauging the exact MHz.

[MrMacMan]

Yes, that would take needed info from each comp directly. they base this that most computers aren't only running folding 24/7 and that if it takes you ___ amount of time for a ___ point WU than you have your folding GHZ.

Your rate put you passing me! So I have scrounged up another machine. :) But With the computers listed you could very well be running that fast.

Well O.K. Even at 8 Ghz I will be crunching on so we'll just wait and see, although I'm still amazed by my own performance.

Did I just hear you say I should find an extra machine to add to my folding power...?:D
Did we just start a little competition here?:p :D

Anyway I think it will take some time for catching up with you. During weekends my folding rate is higher than during working hours.
;)

[NavyIntel007]

Alright, one week in Canada got me 95.3% done on my second work unit. The stink of it is that my girlfriend was fascinated by it and always wanted to know my progress but still won't install it on her computer... doh! :eek:

My units keep on reseting when I guit the god dam app, My computers been folding for two months without any results, this is stupid!!!

I'm going back to SETTI@Home it works!

Why do my units keep on ressetting, who knows???

Im may give the graphical client a try again, if that fails stuff folding!

How are you quitting the application?

Yes, they are not keeping up to our pace. Maybe we can get some of there members to join up when we pass them. Passing them and other teams might take a while though...

[Note: Me mad]

What I do to prevent this from occuring is to pause the working, give it a second or two to save whatever it's doing to disk, then quitting the app. I'm running the PC graphical version, so it's easy for me to do (i.e. right click the status icon, click "pause Work")

Not sure about the command line program or for macs, but there should be something similar. I've never had a unit go bad for me recently after I've started doing this.

[MrMacMan]

Because this is a GUI it should tell you your progress...

well i did a little test run at the lab and all has gone well so far. i got 3 667 dells to run all night and day, so i'll attack the P4s next.

i don't want to recruit too many too fast. to get back over 40% would require a lot more power. it might never happen...

Well actually I hope that you can't get back over 40% The more even the percentages are, the healthier the team is. But Team MacRumors definitely wouldn't be anywhere if it weren't for you and Rower!

[MrMacMan]

You know once you get your library up and running people are gonna need to know 'how'.

atleast me, my library doesn't have any tech people, there windows comps were down for 2 months and I just gave them an anti-virus CD.

'THERE IS SOMETHING THAT FIX'S OUR COMPUTERS?!?!'
'yes, its on this cd'
'REALLY!?!
'...uh, yeah'
:boots up:
OMG IT WORKS
*points, laughs, coughs 'stupid'*

[awulf]

Well I use the terminal version, every time I quit or stop the process all the units are reset, the whole 'work' folders contets delete by them selves.

I am trying the graphical clent, so far so good. I have quit it then opened it, and the work has been saved.

I an get lots of Win and Mac computers to fold at school (I am the Mac administrator, because no teacher is) and I also know all the passwords for the Macs and PCs at school, but the only problem is the proxy thing, unless I set up a another proxy at school to turn IP addresses like 203.30.26.6 into [sub]domain names like fox.ping.net.au. my other option is to find a public proxy like I said before.

I have been installing the folding scripts on machines in computer stores. I don't know if anyone else has done this, but if we had every CompUSA in the country we could dominate.

Sounds a bit dodgy to me. I guess they cant trace you, but still.

[mc68k]

i like the idea. display machines don't do much all day, and they're guranteed to be on unless they have problems.

all they need is a network connection. most salesppl wouldn't know by my guesses.

and the scripts make it fast too. ill have to try it sometime. i just wouldnt do it in an apple store, since most ppl there prob know more than the average joe salesperson.

Right, I respect the Apple Store like a friend. But CompUSA, on the other hand.... Well, let's say they're making up for the hell of a time I had when I worked for them. And for that final pay check I never received when I quit!

[Stelliform]

At our current pace we will pass MacAddict on November 2, 2003. I bet that date will be much closer in a month from now at the rate we are bringing in new users....

I am certain that you will pass me. I have been speeding up as best as I can, but you are too fast for me. :) But Several of my machines are stuck on big units, so I hope to make quite a showing when they start turning in their units. :)

I'm really surprised at all the new members we've been seeing lately. And where we were just slowly moving past LWD, we're now closing in on StorageForum. If we make it to 34th, won't that be the highest ranking we've managed yet?

I guess sucess breeds sucess. We are doing well, so people are more willing to throw some cycles our way. :) Also we with that new member drive/poll y'all setup, you have new members bringing in new members. I am a new member off of that poll, and I lay claim to bringing in Macs4me. And he looks like he might pass me. :D

[Over Achiever]

Ok, just wanted to mention that I've added my 17" powerbook to the mix.

Now I'm folding on my 550 MHz HP laptop and my 1 GHz Powerbook...my 200 MHz Pentium MMX desktop is being "decommissioned".

Both laptops are running 24/7...my HP laptop has it's fan broken, and while the powerbook is getting warm, and the fan is now on constantly, it doesn't seem to get as hot as my PC.

(I have noticed that my progress has stalled on my powerbook...yet the FAH core is running at 99-101% (don't ask my why it's >100, thats just what the process viewer window tells me. What happened? :()

We were at what would now be considered 33rd (35th with the two they've pulled out) for a very short while.

[pgwalsh]

What happen to Rugby? He started off so strong and passed everyone except Rower and mc68k.... Now he doesn't have any computers folding..

[britboy]

I've given up trying to get all my computers online simultaneously via airport, and just sign them on in turn as and when they need it. Anyway, what that means is that i now have a 500MHz tibook, 1GHz athlon desktop and 3GHz P4 desktop working for this. With any luck this might push me up the table a bit :)

Oddly enough on the benchmarking, there's only about a 90sec time gap between frames on the P4 and athlon. Surely it should be more than that?

[MrMacMan]

Uh well in one of the (IMO) worst moves ever. He made a distributed.net team for xlr8yourmac.com . He said he didn't like getting low results from the macs he was running because of lack of altivec.

He said if possible (and he said probably not) he might consider droping back occasionally.

BTW, don't you dare leaving, OR ELSE!
'what or else, or else what?'
'OR ELSE!'
'your bluffing!'

On advice from our resident Tim, I have started using CONSOLE mode for my old tower when folding. The performance increase is ten-fold. Anyone else have this option? This would really help our team!

Console mode... do you mean TERMINAL? I doubt there is a 10x increase, I doubt 10% even but it does help... maybe 2-3% (I can see 10% if you used the graphical w/graphics on)

Well folks, at our current output we can pass Team MacOSX and become the #1 Mac folding team in a few months. :eek:

Overall, we can gain 8 more positions putting us well into the top 30 teams. :)

Lets hope for an east win over MacAddict4Ever first... Mac Os X is gonna be hard because... well they aren't one specific mac group, they are the mac. :rolleyes:
MacAddict4Ever needs to not look behind them because they keep getting passed. Maybe (when school starts laying off the projects) I'll get some free time and add 2 more computers to my 'one man machine' that I have currently.

So if I haven't increased in production, my teachers still suck.

I assume that it's because the machine I was using does not support Quartz Extreme. I can't tell you how painfully obvious that fact is when I get on that beast. It bogs down every task to a ridiculous amount.

True, though... I was over-emphasizing to make a point. It was really only about twice as fast, or a little better than that. Sometimes you just forget that your post won't translate exaggeration (no vocal inflection or gestures to let others know). Sorry 'bout that.

On another note, I told you guys I was coming after you and I'm making good on my promise. As of today I have moved past 400 pts and into 46th place. But wait, I have more WUs crunching and I'm not gonna be happy until I burn some more spots up the ladder! :)

Dan

EDIT - I don't mean running from the Terminal, but logging in using >console.

[alset]

Well, look out! I'm about to pass 500 pts. God, what a rush. It's sick that I'm getting such a kick out of this, but it's got me smiling, so it can't be bad!

Our long term stats keep looking better and better. Woohoo!

Dan

[pgwalsh]

We have 306 active processors this week. That's the most I've seen yet. Hopefully we can keep this number rising.

I'd like to see our team hit a consistent 500 active processors during a given week.

Unfortunately I fried one of my mother boards and processors. But, I replaced that with a much better mobo and faster processor and now have overclocked that processor too. I also ordered the G3 800 ZIF from OWC to put in my G3 400. The sooner Apple comes out with a meaty desktop, the sooner I can add a new machine. Let's go Apple and 970 2.4 :rolleyes:


Oh and one last note: I wanted to thank mc68k for his wonderful script. Love the fact that I don't have to manually start folding and it runs in the background. This is how it should work.
Thanks MC69K :eek:

Hey server glitches help.

Edit:
ABIT is killing us and I see no chance of them letting up. :( Almosy 5000 points in one day (no server glitch) so basically only an act of allah can stop them from coming now. :(

I think we can hold of general Mayhem. And we should destroy like 6 teams before either of them reach us. :D

I just added two machines to my collection. And I should add a couple more in the coming weeks. With over 110 members and growing we have a good chance of outproducing them again. We just can't let up.....

Maybe we can do it... but currently ABIT is going to put a sour taste to overcoming Team Linux and MacAddict4Ever because that is when we are gonna pass those 2 teams... :(

What can you do?

BTW, I'm leaving today at 12 and wil not get back intill Sunday so I will not be on the forums... much. :D

MrMacman is leaving the computer folding, but his dad usually uses the computer and then turns the power off. You know that it's wasting too much energy! :D

Acually I made it seem like i was in a rush to get out of the house so he didn't check my comp... anyway I had turned off the screen and taken the mouse and sound proofed the computer so he couldn't hear it. :D

I got away with 100% idle comp = 100% folding.

:D

woah...

just the other day I was #161 in the rankings with 3 WU's under my belt...

today I'm #131 with 5... :eek:

glad I added that dual processor at work... ;)

The fastest machine you list is a G4 466... I on the other hand have my computer 24/6-99/100th days a week and many many many people joined with mutiple computers and much faster ones than me... :(

oh well, macman, giving people a very small chance.

My dad doesn't allow me to keep my Mac on during the night or when I am at school. Folding needs to run on OS X so the 7600 wont handle it. For over a month Folding was playing up, and resetting it's units (terminal version) do I switched back to the Graphical version.

Tell him what folding is about (maybe take him to the site) and that the cost of leaving your computer on all night is minimal. Plus OS X performs maintenance tasks during the night.

Yes but that were to be true if the 233 has of X on it which it doesn't. I have a few apple's that should have had of X loaded already but didn't and now I can't use them for folding... bah.
I Think I'm gonna cut class one day and install on my schools (only) 2 OS X machines. :eek:
they have like 2 labs of Os 9 and 2 machines of Os X.
Go school. (not)

I would install Folding onto the macs at school if the proxy didn't block IP number addresses, and the firewall blocks the ports where any public proxies are. Our school was 2 OS X Machines, 7 iMacs with OS 9 and 6 iMacs with OS 8.6, and a whole heap of Mac's (Old PM's, Performas & LC II's) with Mac OS 8.1/7.5/7.6, oh I almost forgot so many Wintels that you want to puke.

[alset]

A couple happy observations:

We have 311 members on the Folding team. I love that band, so I was sorta hyped about that. :)

In related news, I'm coming after you guys with a vengeance! I'm in the top 30 and poised to pass 1000 points in a few days. I made the threat to pass and I'm following through. Only mc68k and Rower_CPU are safe! :D

Something happened on my computer because I have a normal 21 point unit and it is taking way to long... 5-6 days instead of 2-3. :confused: I still have my computer idle as much as before... I don't understand... something much be happening while the computer is idle, any thoughts?

This is anoying, My dual 1 ghz mdd with dual cores running has been running 24 seven and for weeks i was right next to g4scott. Now he's suddenly increased his rate b ten fold and has rocketed way up in front of me, am I suppose compete with that?? :p

Don't sweat it man, people have alot worse than dual 1 GHZ.

I know, but I'm proud to be using all this power to help the medical world, I even sleep with its whirring on so I can get more numbers in, I think I'll install it on my dad's office macs with my username. (G3 233 upgraded to G4/400, will this help my numbers?)

Hm... G4 400 I think it can beat the deadline.

Anyway, what the hell is happening to the stats pages...
overclockers page --- updated main page, but not team specific page
Statsman --- hasn't updated since 6 PM yesterday
Macnn -- well updates every 3 hours but estimating 3,700-3,900/day, which is great, but with only one stats page kinda worrying... what about the other teams... I really have no Idea.

Yeah definately.

I'm the same, I've gotta G3 266 upgraded to G3 466 and it's pulling its weight along with an G3 400 iMac DV and an Athlon 850, so it's like a concerto of differently pitched whirrs with melodies of folding and rhythms of winmx/kazaa throughout the night:p

[ZeppelinArmada]

I have been folding with my PB400 and my PM450 (not very impressive I know) but I just added an Athalon XP2100, two Athalon 1.2 TB's , a VIA Eden 933, a Duron 650 and an iMac 800. By tommorow I should have it running on another TB 1.2, a PII 350, a dual PII 300, an Athalon (Slot) 950, three pentium 100's, possibly an Athalon TB 1.4 (if I can get the ps working), one pentium 133 and possibly one DPXeon. It is a shame there is no sparc port. I am also going to try and get my friends to run it on their computers.

Ha, I was 40ish at one time, now I'm dead 80th. Don't talk about how your not gonna pass people as often, thats like saying I just got the 1.25 GHZ and saying that you are disspointed that you didn't get the 1.33 GHZ. :p

Edit what are your talking about?

There are 3 people you are gonna pass soon that would get you to 21 and 20 would be a a few weeks more.

[jethroted]

I'm happy to be in 4th position and likely to take 3rd in the next couple of days! It's been a long road, but I'm finally there!

[Stelliform]

I was 10th for almost 2 days! Now I am 12th. I really am not one to check my team rank too often. I like to see what teams we are about to stomp as a whole. :D

By the way, we have delivered 4550 points so far today! We are slated to overtake 4 teams by the end of May!! 4!!! that is amost a team every week and a half!

Yes that is nice but I think the server lagged or something because a couple of other teams pulled off a lot of point in the past 24 hours too... oh well, great improvement.

It probably won't help matters if I said that I'll be adding an athlon xp 2800+ with 512mb of DDR333 ram to the fray though :D

I think its funny someone was teasing on MacAdict saying see ya in July, and they were like 'it won't happen', they were right after all, it's due to be May now!!! All in all I hope it's more friendly comp between the Mac teams as I'd like all the Mac teams to do better and show we are no joke.... Will be nice to pass a team called linux soon....Anyone think we can push the production up that little bit higher and become a top 20 team?

$12 an hour maintaining the computers, networks, and anything else that goes down at 9 different kinkos locations. So this is a way better job if I get it. They are looking for someone who knows how to fix computers, trouble shoot, install software ect., and who has experience with printing equipment like OCR scanners, digital cameras, desktop printers, so I would be doing the exact same thing there as I do now, but it would be for the gov't. and making sweet $$$.

Started folding recently, found out I had 2 user names setup by accident.
Oh Well. So I am currently 211 instead of 165. Its all for a good cause.

Anyway - I have the following folding:
400 mhz G3
550 mhz PIII HP Kayak
350 mhz PIII HP Netserver L3
333 mhz PII Nec Laptop

All 3 windows are doing 100% 24x7 - except when I have to actually do something on them.

I had the same problem. I had a machine setup to do dual processing, and the second copy didn't have my name, so all the points went to "y" because when it asked for a name, it had y or n. I though it wanted to know if I wanted a name, so I typed "y". It just made that my name though. Later after it finished a bunch of wu's I checked and it had the wrong name. Oh well. I think I'm doing ok anyway!

Is it only me or are MSU ACM starting to get annoying, they are so close on the graph (wasnt there a time when they were distroying us?) but everytime we slightly close the gap and out fold them, all of a sudden after a few days they increase as well and slightly outfold us....they'd be a great scalp id we just eeked out that slight more power....maybe just one more computer would do it...grrrrr

Hehe, I hear yah.

If I ever the my old original 233 School Mac (see 'All in One') if i ever get that repaired (it died for no reason) I'll put it on folding, sure it will dump every other month, it is is something. :p

[awulf]

If there were an Alpha compiled version of Folding I could install FAH onto my dads 64-bit Alpha server. It used to run SETTI@home but he took that off.

I need to set up my own proxy and get my ad to open up a port on is firewall, then I can get my schools computer folding.

Maybe we should go around asking computer stores, offices, schools, universities .... etc to fold for Macrumors.

Its a Digital, model: Personal Workstation 500au.
It contains a 500MHz 64-bit alpha CPU, runs NetBSD, it is used for a WebServer, FileServer, DHCP and mail, and conects our computers to the internet.

On average it is 99% idle.

We had a system almost exactly the same as that. It was a printing server. When we bought it, it cost a ton of money. I think you may be able to get the linux version running on it. I'll check with my bro, he's big into unix.

We got it for free about two years ago, someone was giving them away. My dad and I drove from Adelaide to Melburne to pick it up in one day.

Well it turns out that netbsd should run the linux version. However, it seems like the alpha chip may be a road block. If this was an x86 chip of some kind, then we would have no problems, but since it's a 64 bit chip, even if you do get it to run, it will probably not run very well. Why don't you just give it a shot and see?

I seem to teatering on the edge of the top 100 at 101st :). I seem to gain 100 points everytime I put in a WU. How does the points system work? There seems to be people behind me with higher WU's and people ahead with lower ones, whats the deal?

[jethroted]

I finally crawled my way up to 3rd place!:D I guess this is the end of the line for me. I don't think I will be moving up anymore, unless some computer gang recruits me and makes me head of their folding division. We'll go around the country hustling people for their computers, and making them fold. The cops will be after us, and when they catch us, and bring us downtown, we'll put folding on their desktops too. Eventually we'll be in prison, getting people to smuggle in laptops for us to fold on. Of course well get the folding @home logo tatooed on our backs, and no one will mess with us.

Uh, maybe I'll just stick with what I got going on here.

:D Yeah I think I have maxed out at 10 also. I gave it a huge push this weekend only to fall short by 7 points from 9th. I will be overtaken in a day or so by dabirdwell to put me out of the top 10. Possibly forever. But hey, the team is kicking some serious bottom! Keep it up!

I know I'll be knocked down to 9 or 10th ranked in the next few months as there are quite a few people with more Mhz folding.

Ha!Ha! I hope that didn't hurt too much!:p You are going to be dropping even further if you don't get your daily rate up.
I don't know what is up with that page. It has always said that I have 0 processors in the last week. I don't know why. Also if I click on my name in the team ranking it doesn't show any info. Strange......

I only have so many machines to fold with.
2 Pentium 1.7 Ghz
1 AMD 2700+
1 AMD 2000+ > Just added this one over the weekend. Had an old mobo sitting around and threw in a proc for 60 bucks, not bad.
1 Macintosh G3 400 (Tomorrow 800 Mhz ZIF upgrade)
I also have a PIII 450, but it's not on. Will be tomorrow. I have a Pentium PIII 400 that a friend wont give me back :rolleyes: So, I think that's the best I'll be doing until Apple releases a Desktop I'm interested in.

Once in a while my sister has her 800Mhz imac turned on, which I snuck folding onto via MC68K installer. A sister has to be careful when her younger brother is over her house. he he

Also put it on my mothers laptop while visiting, but she never turns the damn thing on, so that's a waste. It has a P III 800.

But too many people are coming on strong with 8, 11, 12 or more processors. They'll pass me soon enough.

I think if we all got our buddy's computers folding for us, then these guys who only have one or two machines could get some more WU's done. There are alot of people with only a couple cpu's going. If they all got 2 or 3 friends on it, that would be tons!

Maybe, but some of us have friends that go 'wtf, I'm getting .4 FPS less than Usual!' 'Where did my performance go?!?!' :rolleyes:

Next time I'm at a friends someone needs to link me to the secret install of folding and I will get the job done. :D

I'm so confused, too many stats, all show different numbers.

For the last 24 hours:
Statsman says: 3,624.88
MacNN says: 3,212.8
Overclockers says: 4,351.06

So take your pick at the numbers... I WANT A RELAIBLE NUMBER SYSTEM, GAHHHH

:mad: :mad: :mad:

[Rower_CPU]

Well, it sorta depends on how they figure 24 hours...

Some do it by day (midnight to midnight), some do it by the last 24 hours...and even then, if the servers are in different time zones they'll track things differently.

Just take a deep breath, and slowly repeat to yourself:

"Number 1 Mac team in July"
"Number 1 Mac team in July"
"Number 1 Mac team in July"
"Number 1 Mac team in July"
"Number 1 Mac team in July"

We will be the #1 team, and that is great, but I want some reliable numbers, if you check all of the stats places at 1-2AM you Should get the same, or atleast similar numbers. Since macnn updates at that time.

currently it looks like July 10th will be the day we will own them.

If you look at short-term like that, sure.

But look at the long-term graph (http://teamstats.macnn.com/fold/stats.php?page=b1&TID=3446&timeref=0&timelow=1042083677). We've had consistent growth with peaks and then small valleys followed by more growth.

We're coming out of a valley and headed for more growth. Things are looking quite rosy. :cool:

The service one I posted from extremeoverclocking works well. But you have to do a little work. Download fah3console.exe and their zip has the files that you need. You can edit the bat file to put the files in a folder like c:\windows\system32\fah. Then in the .reg file rename the service to something like "tfah console" (Because nobody would know what that is, and there isn't much special in the t's.) I have a mostly modified version I could make availible to you, but it is on a computer at my office. I can send it to you monday if you like.

No problem, I'll make it easy if you plan on using it. First you would unzip the files, then double click install.bat. I will set it to run the fah3console automatically so you can fill in your name and team number. To make it truly stealthy you should set the cpu usage to 25% Nobody cares if their CPU is running 25%. (that is advanced options after you fill in your name and such.) After you setup the client you will need to press ctrl c to kill it. Let the script finish and then it should be running. (in theory. ;)) I will test it and make sure I give you explicit instructions. :)

But if I set it up for you, please use it. :)

OK, I have been folding p638 for about a week now and I am about 36% done (400 mhz G3).

First off, should I have stats on the server yet or will that only come when I complete a WU?

Secondly, if my machine is completely idle, can I count on the client to use most or all available cycles?

Seems like I should be going faster, but I'm new at this.

First, Glad to have you one the team!

Second, you will only show up once you complete a WU.

Third, you might be a tad slower than my G3 400. I think it was finishing a WU every two weeks. Are you leaving much running? My iMac also had the RAM maxed so that might be hurting you.

Which client are you using, screensaver, app or console?

Well unfortunally, p638 is one of the biggest units there is, because I have one too and it is taking FOREVER.
*gah*
Your stats will appear when you complete the unit, welcome to the team. :)

The client (graphical I guess) does use *most* idle time, tho if the display protien is open that uses some CPU amasingly. And because of their lack of programming knowledge, it can't close untill you close the whole program. Genius...

[BaghdadBob]

OK, that's what I thought.

I have 512 MB of RAM, the graphical app, and yeah, I noticed that the deadline for p638 is 50 days...

I also love the feature of not being able to close the rendering portion once you've opened it. If you have the app hidden, is it still taking time to render?

Also, does this work at all while the computer is sleeping? I've only been sleeping my monitor since I started running it, but if that's not necessary I'm sure the poor gal could use some sleep.

You know, on top of sharks, the highly scary Komodo (sp?) Dragons hold secrets to lots of diseases too. I want to see a joint research facility made up entirely of KDs and sharks...... "Welcome to my laboratory...of DEATH!!! BuWAHAHAHAHha!!"

If the app is docked it uses less graphical CPU, but it uses even less if you go to preferences use 'alpha trace' and make the polygons the least, (left side)

Folding will be less effective while in sleep mode because the CPU is being powered down less power = less CPU power = Less folding.
I only do the 'turn off my monitor after _(1) minute' thing in the system prefs.

And yeah you get on that laboratory of death... :rolleyes:

Wow starting with a 70 pointer! I think i had a 70 pointer hit today. I was 5 points behind mac focus, and now I am 100 points ahead! :D

[amnesiac1984]

How do I find out what unit I'm working on and all these deadline details and stuff? I'm using mc68k's scripts, also my beige g3 w/g4/400 is yet to submit a WU, although its on 330 frames now I think.


Edit: Okay jsut found the log files in F@H folder, processor one has been doing 638 for a long time, processor two is on 653, I thought processor two was getting ahead because it is not used as much, is this true?

grrrrr, we were beating a few teams above us by 1000 or more a day now we have dropped to less and we wont be beating mac addict until july, it went to 28th may and dropping a week or so ago...whats happened...I've noticed most other teams performance have aso dropped as well though, just maybe not as much as us.

You don't need ANY of that. All you need is the fah3console and ElectronMicroscope III (do a search on google). There's a setting in EM3 that allows it and fah to be run in stealth mode and another to open fah as soon as it launches. All you would need to do is to create a shortcut to EM3 and place it into the start menu->programs->Startup folder. If you want to be really sneaky, you can add an entry to EM3 into the CurrentVersion/Run registry key in the windoze registry.

The cpu usage shouldn't be set to 25% because the priority of fah3console is automatically set to low (the lowest setting) and any program would get priority over it, so there wouldn't be any noticeable slowdowns if it were set at 100%.

I can't believe that no-one's mentioned this so far, but Team Macrumors is now ranked 31st overall! In the past week we've finally overtaken University of Al and AthlonXP (did you need more proof that mac's are faster ;):p), and are about to take MSU ACM later on today.

Not a bad week overall, would you not agree? I'm not sure how we managed it, but our production has suddenly jumped, to over 29k/week! Impressive.

[dstorey]

After being neck and neck with MSU this is great news...finally to be able to kick out and beat them on the rail...the recent speed jump after the lull is great, some body being doing illigal whipping of the macrumours horse to get these increases ;) Next target the penguin and a 30k a week rate. Though if we want to get top 20 we need a pretty serious increase of 10k or more and to keep Mayhem off our backs...they came from no where to get over 40k a week.

[Falleron]

I am very impressed with the teams progress. Does anyone have access to any more labs? The ones I help manage are out of the question unfortunatly. Network administrator said no! :-(

[Mr. Anderson]

I just went and checked out the Extreme Overclocking stats page and in the potential threats we have only two!!!

But one of them is slated to pass us in 2012!?!?! Not bad...

[Rower_CPU]

I agree with britboy that our next goal should be cracking 30k a week. We've been hovering just under for the last few days.

Between getting some new people on board and the Gromacs core we should be able to do it easily. :)

Think Arn will give us some front page billing again for a few weeks? It has been a month or so since the last big membership rush....

Edited: Tells you how little I read the front page.... There is our team under the Of Interest Section....

OK, any other ideas to get new members?

[pEZ]

Now would be the perfect time for another membership rush - new core and mc68k finished the updated DP and SP scripts. Sounds like a good opportunity to me.

The way I see it, we have to come up with an average increase of about 2,000 points a day - We really don't want to be taken over by General [M]ayhem in 40 days. Is that possible? Probably not, but it's good to shoot for it - if anything it would give us more conquest capabilities and a greater distance from them.

Though 30k a week is a good goal too.

Just started bringing a company laptop back home at weekends to fold on. Its a P4 1.8Ghz. Seems to be quite slow at folding though. Any other people here using P4's?? Its taking about 8mins to do a frame. I know it depends on the unit though.

[pimentoLoaf]

6-8 minutes on a frame is FAST!!!!!, not slow; a 500mhz g3 takes nearly a week to crunch 400-steps units.

One of the machines I have folding for me is a 3GHz P4. On average it seems to take about 3-4 mins a frame. I'd say that your laptop is running about as fast as could be expected. It's still a whole sight better than my Tibook, which takes about 23 mins a frame.....

On the good news I think we cracked 3k today...

But as we all can see we took a major hit (from...?) somewhere and so there goes that...

Tommorow, I'm gonna check my 1000 AOL mails and see if stelliform sent me the invisible folding thing. I'll get my friends on board.

[Falleron]

This is annoying me! Before I came home from work I stored about 8 folding units on the laptop (installed into separate directories). This means that when I reconnect to the network on monday I can send my units back. However, the Folding Console on windows keeps locking up + not folding. I left the laptop chugging away last night + woke up this morning to find it had only done 4 frames over the whole night. At some point it had crashed (not XP, just folding). Anybody know a fix for this? The laptop is running XP Professional.
Also, did you see that the new Folding client has support for Gromacs which in turn supports Altivec?

You don't have indexing going on, by any chance? winXP becomes "winDoze" when it's activated because it thinks it needs maximum processor time for the effort. I had this problem, too, and after flipping it off, everything ran at top speed.

Dont think so. I dont have any major HD activity. Where abouts in XP is the indexing option anyway? When I close the folding client I get an error saying that the program is not responding. This happens so many times a day. I am unable to leave the machine, it just wont carry on folding. Also, the P4 mobile. Is there a setting somewhere that allows you to adjust the clock speed? For example, if running off batteries, lower the clock to improve battery life?

[amnesiac1984]

How do I know if I'm using gromacs yet? Has it been integrated with mc68k's scripts yet for DP etc etc? I wanna fold faster if I can. I installed folding from the DP scripts a while back, when did these gromacs come out and how do I get it on my MDD 1ghz DP?

I need this to help the team.

cheers

[pimentoLoaf]

Falleron:

To open Indexing Service

1. Open Computer Management (Local).
2. In the console tree, double-click "Services and Applications".
3. Double-click "Indexing Service".

(this is from Microsoft's built-in help.)

[awulf]

My school got two new 1GHz eMac's today and I could fold on them but the school's ISP's proxy blocks IP addresses, which F@H uses to connect to the server instead of a subdomain address. Does any one know how I can by pass this? I know an external proxy would work, but there aren't any public proxies open on the ports that are open, so is there another way?

It will only occasional download a gromacs unit. Look at this page (http://folding.stanford.edu/psummary.html). It shows all the potential projects that are currently available for processing. There doesn't seem to be an exact pattern to which one you get so take notice out of all of them there is only one that is gromacs. It's the last project on the page.

I just joined with my 733 MHZ G4. I can't run it much but I am interested in this whole thing.

How long should a WU take? I have had mine on for a half hour and im only at .6% (it jumped from 0.0 to .6 real quick and then stopped)

How long should a WU take? I have had mine on for a half hour and im only at .6% (it jumped from 0.0 to .6 real quick and then stopped)
Welcome to the team, I see you have installed the no-brains needed graphical client. :p
The client will do that, because once a 'frame' is completed it will show you have you have completed 1/400 (400 frames being the most used) done.
A WU should take, lets use my computer for example because I have a similar computer, but there are varibles (should be in FAQ ;) ;) ):
a) the 'size' of a WU -- more points see here (http://folding.stanford.edu/psummary.html)
b) Computer speed
c) time computer is idle
More idle the computer, the faster folding will go. On average running 20/7 I average a WU 3-4 days. 70 (large) take much longer while 19.7 pointers (small) take less time.

I hope I explained that.

When you get gromac units it should be faster. For DP... I don't expect a major difference because remember when you have DP it is really just running 2 folding programs for each CPU.

So what you should say is it will not complete one unit faster but you will still be able to turn out twice the work of a single processor unit in the same amount of time.

Ok Thanks for the information :)

And I'm still saying it should be in the FAQ, rower did a good job, but people have other speific questions that we are answering over and over, no offense.

Maybe you should start a new thread with the subject of adding new answers to the folding FAQ here at MacRumors.

Hey thanks, I was thinking there was a thread about this already but was tired last night and didn't look. At least I didn't create one without looking.:rolleyes:

Gah, where are these new teams coming from! Arg, we are going to be dropping some in the ranks!

Quickly, Recruit!

I've hardly been sleeping. :D

Considering that I only have two machines and three CPUs, I'm hardly a big addition to or subtraction from the team. I really hated to see MacNN go too far down and, it was apparent that my contribution was not what it once was, so I went to help another Macintosh team.

If anyone has truly read my posts about folding, they have primarily been about Macintoshes folding and raising noticeable contributions. My progress monitor is all about this, even though it isn't Macintosh specific. I still have the Mac OS X look-and-feel on the web site and I'm not taking it down. :D

I remain a part of MacRumors and a friend to those who will have me. You are all a part of me.

That's kinda forward, don't you think?

[Mr. Anderson]

So after going to the folding site and taking the red pill - I'm wondering if we're going to see a big jump in production? I know not all members are crunching away on macs, but if their 10x speed is to be believed that's going to have a huge affect.

And if there are more members on the other mac teams with macs and they all upgrade we actually might not catch them as easily.

:Notice:
They did not say 10x the point, they didn't say 10x the speed. They mean the gromac units will give them 10x the infomation, these are much more complex protiens, but we are able to do them faster... beacuse of the new core, gromac.

[bousozoku]

Gromacs, not Gromac. :)

Why does it seem like we're slowing down? Kinda running out of gas - like fewer people are folding - or the new core is helping others more than it's helping us.

Well, I'm 10 wu away from 1000 for S@H, so after a couple of days...

[alset]

I have gained about 8 places in the last week. Look out, all!

(Sorry, it's been a while since I threatened to jump ahead!) :)

edit: Unfortunately, I had to drop folding on a machine that is now a dedicated web server. It wasn't handling all that well. :(

General Mayhem is right about to get us...

I don't really see much we can do either... :(

I can feel then tension on the board. Just listen to the James Horner soundtrack in the background....reminds me of Braveheart.

[Mr. Anderson]

Woohoo! Hey we just passed another and we're at 29! Although GeneralMayhem is coming up fast.....

[Rower_CPU]

Yeah, their output is incredible.

At least we'll pass Team MacAddict the same day as they pass us. ;)

Yeah well there are a couple 'output = incredible' coming up fast and hopeing to beat us... Phoenix Rising, another 6k a day team! :(

And even in Sept we have the Knights... bah, where are these groups coming from? :confused:

On a better note we are still gaing members, so far no heavy users but everything counts don't it? :)

[jayb2000]

I just added a P4 2ghz mobile laptop going 24x7.
and if I can keep people from shutting it off, I also added a couple of older machines.
I now have around 9 doing it, but hard to keep them all going.
I hope to add 15-20 more this summer, gong to do some freelance work and going to set it as the default screensave on all the machines. :COOL:

I really want the graph on the extreme overclocking stats page to get rid of the stats prior to May 1 - i think it's skewing the production history line - I don't think we're decreasing that much. That one killer day is a major average changer.

yes, the average right now points down, but if you take out that date we are only standing still, really not that bad, but not good news.

Three mac teams in a row, how intresting....and the BSD daemon inside us finally overtook the evil linux penguin...though i suppose the bsd that os x uses is darwin so we really have huxley the platterpus not the daemon...the daemon mascot is getting more cringe worthy the more i think of it...still cooler than a penguin though...

Just as I thought - our production is actually increasing pretty heavily, just look at the new graphs on the extreme overclocking site. Just had to get rid of that 5000+ day.

Yeah, it's been fun watching all those 4000+ days roll in lately. If we can crack 30k/week I'll be stoked. :)
