twoodcc · 01:10 PM

thanks. when it gets colder here, i'll start doing the bigadv units again. then the points should really add up. if they keep the units going.

yeah i know what you mean. but having 2 towers running full blast in one small apartment room is not good for me right now, so i'm going to wait on the bigadv units for right now

Congrats, keep the bigadv coming!

only at work, i may not fold at home now that bigadv gets enough points

Congrats on the 2M SciFrog!

SciFrog · Oct 9, 2009, 06:08 PM

Yup, but actually almost at 4mio with points of my old team combined

What I am shooting for is the #5 overall spot of the team, maybe by year end...

oh wow. nice.

hey it's good to have goals. right now my goal is to get into the top 20. second goal is 2 million points after that, which would put me around 11th or 12th

congrats to whiterabbit for hitting 1 million!

What are bigadv units? and how do I run them?

I am currently running two instances using:
./fah6 -local -smp -verbosity 9

do I just add the flag ' -bigadv ' to my command above?

PS: I have a 2.53ghz MBP

SciFrog · Oct 12, 2009, 08:11 AM

They will not run on iMacs or laptops...

bigadv units are a new project that folding@home has started. there is a thread about it here.

but as already stated, you cannot run these units on iMacs or laptops. you need either an 8-core mac, or a very fast 4-core i7 machine. if you don't have one of these, then your computer will not be able to meet the deadlines

the command is ./fah6 -bigadv -smp 8 -local replace with 16 for 16 cores

a MP with 8 cores takes 3+ days out of 6 so it's doubtful a 2.53GHz 2 core would do it by the deadline

Storm9 · Oct 13, 2009, 10:54 PM

Thanks! I'll try it on my work computer, its a quad.

you can try it. but really the only quad machines that have been making the deadline is the core i7s. what kind of machine do you have at work?

yeah unfortunately there's no partial credit, it's either complete before the deadline or no points

twoodcc · Oct 15, 2009, 09:32 AM

well guys, i might be cutting back even more for right now. heat is becoming an issue. i made a thread about it here. at my current rate, i think i'll have the air on in my apartment in the dead of winter!

I know what you mean, my small house keeps toasty just from the computers running. The problem is getting the heat moved from the computer room... thus a box fan in the door pushing in cool air at the bottom.
