Folding ranking...

I saw the thread and just started folding. I have it running on a. . .

G4 1Ghz
G3 350
AMD Athlon 650
AMD K6 350
PII 350
PII 366
P Pro 180

Hopefully one of them will finish a work unit by tomorrow so I can get on the stats page. :)

holy smokes!!!

the <=366 will take a LONG time for any protein, but the others will be very productive. thanks for adding so many machines! :) :)

that may be your problem right there. take a look at this page for deadline information.
can u clarify? i'm not sure what u mean. [/B]

Argh... it just happened again, of it's own accord...

well, until now, on certain occasions that I'd have the terminal or graphical version of F@H running, the F@H screen saver would turn on, and all of my progress on the WU would vanish, and it wouldn't d/l another unit. Now it seems to be doing it randomly, no matter which version is running. It's very aggravating. At one point it went from 97% to zero. Then 58% to zero, 30-some-odd% to zero a couple times, and most recently, 26% to 0. All without d/ling a new unit.
 
Don't run the screen saver version. Just make your screen shut off and let the graphical client run.

I don't know why that is bugging tho... If you have graphical client running and you go into sleep mode it is supposedly just gonna keep on working... hm...
 
you have the folding screensaver and graphic or terminal app on at the same time? you can only have one at a time running at the same time...just pick one of the 3. that might be whats screwing it up
 
ive never had folding go backwards, and ive run it on god knows how many machines, so something must really be awry.

so that's all i can really say. pick just one of the clients if that helps.

I would be going into the Library>Screen Savers folder and removing the folding screensaver, if I were you, before it has a chance to work again.
 
has everyone noticed the jump output in the last couple days? the new users have definitely been helping. don't stop folding! lets slaughter the next few teams with our cycles!

hard to tell. statsman hasn't updated for like half the day.

but i'm hopeful that in the next few days, all the newcomers cash in and give us a boost.
 
yeah...i just saw these at the macnn site:

Members: 181 (+9)
Stats: 111,561
Units: 26,453
Avg Rate: 1.05 K
Spot Rate: 1.64 K
Power: 213.5 GHz

thats the highest i've seen our power and spot rate in a long time...and +9 memeber!! in just a few days is great, and to think we're gonna get more, its fairly exciting
 
I'm gonna put a few idle computers to work too. I have a cube and a dual 1GHz system doing very little.

cool, use my script for the dual processor machine.

we have better daily output at this point than macnn and whitedog. this recent push has really helped us out. way to go people. keep it up.
 
newest member

I'm just posting here to say hi and tell you that I just added my 1ghz amd to the cause, I may be the newest member of the team to post results. I go by the name PJ. So heres to folding.
 
Welcome to folding phampton81 :)

That 1 GHz AMD will be nice...my 200 MHz and 550 MHz are bogging down with the more sophisticated proteins...(I'm entering my third week folding on my 550 MHz laptop and the sixth week folding on my 200 MHz desktop:()

So yeah, welcome! Hopefully this won't be a one shot deal, and you'll continue folding past the first one ;). Same thing applies to the other new members...please don't just fold one protein and go.:(
 
Do the point values for the protien relate to how long it takes to process. For example My Athlon 650 finished a 5 pt protien in 24 hours. My 1 Ghz TiBook is at 33% in 20 hours. But it is working on a 25 point protien. Is that about right for the G4 in the TiBook?

I am running Aquamon at the same time. Mabey I should shut it down....
 
yes stelliform the points relate to how long it takes to process...for example on my ibook a 6pt protein will take about a day or 2 while a 20 point will take 4 or 5 or more days.

Lets do some math:
Athlon 650 MHz
The 5 pt. protein finished in 24 hours, so about 4.8 hours per point.
Powerbook 1000 MHz
The 25 pt. protein is 33% finished, so about 8.25 pts has finished in 20 hours, which is about 2.4 hours per point.

Therefore the ti is about twice as fast which makes sense since folding is NOT altivec optimized, so the velocity engine doesn't make much impact. I think you're fine.



Of course, I have to do a comparison with my computer :p a 550 MHz laptop. I'm crunching on a 73 point protein, and it takes five hours for each percent. Therefore thats five hours per 7.3 points, or an amazing 1.5 hours per point. :D

This is prolly because of the protein, not the computer. ;) Anyway, if you're interested, it's a 50 day deadline ;). By the time I finished this protein I'll get my 17" pb.:D

Hehe, quite insane.
Is there a way I can see (graphical client) how many 'point proteins' my current one is...?

I'm sure it is like really obvious and I'm not looking hard enought.

Anyway. Keep it up the recent member increase is definatly good. It is good some of you have seen this thread or manybe the little text link at the top of the homepage (thank you ____ (arn?) ).
We need all the crunching power we can get.

I don't think you can see the point total of the protein in the graphical client. You can however see what protein you're crunching on, and you can check out the deadlines & point totals here: http://folding.stanford.edu/psummary.html

If you want to know how to get there from folding.stanford.edu, click on the stats link on the left side, then on project summary.

Hope that was helpful, or I guess you already knew that.
 
What we need to keep members active is a good set of stats pages like MacNN's that are accessible from the main page. Are you listening ARN? :D
 
Hi there. I just added two machines: one that I like and one that is fast. My own machine is a PBG4 500. The other is my work machine, a 2.4GHz P4. It is a dual, but I am required to turn it off at night, so call it a single. Hope it helps.

One question: Is there any way to get the OS X command line client to print progress updates to stdout? If I look at the work unit log file, it says things like "Finished a frame (20)", but that's sort of a hassle. Even at verbosity level 9, it doesn't print anything useful in the terminal window. What am I missing?

you're not missing anything. the programmers have done something wrong. on every other non-mac ive tried folding on, it spits out the frames at default verbosity 3. even changing it with the switch does nothing, so obviously it's a bug. theres no way to change stout, so heres what i do— make a command that goes to the logfile and spit out the last line to the screen.

basically: tail -1 ~/Library/Folding@home/work/*.txt

in my script i put in the .login as:

alias fold 'tail -1...'

that's the best work around i could come up with at this point. every time you open the teriminal it launches that command and you can just type in work.

hope this helps.
 
Well I added a total of 9 machines through out the week. I just started on sunday ( it's friday today), and I already have 105 points for the team. It's not that much, but I think it's a good start. I'm getting my brother on board, and he is setting up all the cpu's at his work with folding as well. What is our team pulling in a week for points anyways? I hope what I do helps some.:)

wow i've been folding for months and only have about 140 pts
