Folding@home, F@h Part Deux

No, Allan (my boss) had to rebuild the server. The firewall software we used to use didnt uninstall correctly (we replaced it with something else) and it destroyed the entire Routing and Remote Acess configuration.

I still have 3~4 machines at it though

Mine (which is really 2 on an E6600)
My grandmothers (not on all the time)
My server(2.6GHZ P4).

Fold on folks!

Hi

I have read these posts and the one with the 30 pages on it, but still don't understand what Folding@Home is!

Would it be ok if someone could explain it to me

David.

Hi, I sort of am understanding it now. The more CPU power you allow the program to use, results in faster completion and therefore helps the project?

I have already joined and am donating at the moment

Mhhm, I have yet to get my wlan working at home and to install the F@H on my suse laptop then. We ll see when that happens lol.

@ David28

Wiki has about the best description of the project.

Thanks Koan, I was about to look it up on Wiki

I had a 150 frame WU and it took about 4 Hours to complete on a 1.6Ghz AMD Sempron 2600+, is this a fast enough processor?

Had a bit of a glitch a couple of weeks ago when I was home for the weekend. Desktop decided to crash mightily so had no option but to shut it down and leave.

Came home again on Friday for a 4 day weekend so chucked in a new 320GB Seagate on Sat afternoon and am now madly reinstalling eveything, F @ H being one of the first.

Only have a couple of days work left till the end of the stone fruit season so should be home by Easter. Think I will leave all the computers at home this time and let the 6 CPUs do their thing so it will be interesting to see the upcoming results.

Welcome to all the new "Folders". Keep up the good work

WTG Yano, spectacular burst there.

That's the smallest WU I've ever had also. Worth 15 points, I've had a minimal time of two hours 30 minutes on a dual core system. So 4 hours on your system sound fair?
I've forgotten to forward results on these smaller units at times. One must watch the results?

Seems like my PS3 is on fire! (not literally, but I am thinking about getting one of the extra cooling fans for it). Apparently on days when I have school then work it really pumps WU's. My PS3 has done 65 WU's since I got it.

So when F@H is run on the PS3, can you still do things with it or does running F2H not allow you to use the PS3 at all?

You can't do anything else while it's runnging, but I have it set up so it turns on after 10 minutes of inactivitiy. So if I'm at the main menu and I haven't done anything for more than 10 minutes F@H while automatically start.

Gee thats pretty good! Might consider a PS3 and also to use it for F@H

Anyone else seeing this?
