Gearing up for the HWC Battle !!!

I've completed my first -bigadv wu.

How do I start FAHMon? Can I start it with the fah client running? I don't want to do anything that would cause the fah client to crash. I tried //FAH/fah but no such file.

Another question has to do with the Folding@Home Client passkey. Do I use the same passkey I got for this bigadv rig with other rigs?

Where do I find the TPF (min:sec) for the bonus point calculator?

//fah/fah worked for me in Fahmon, but i'm still running my 10 smp WU's. You can run Fahmon without affecting the client, but I would not leave it open all the time(uses resources the -bigadv needs). The passkey is unique to your user name/rig. AFAIK, you must apply for a new passkey for any additional rigs. Bogmali, can you confirm?

One passkey is all you need even if you have multiple rigs running -bigadv WUs

I recommend anyone moving to -bigadv work units take a quick look at HFM.net. I've completely switched to them as you can add clients easy, import your prior F@Hmon list (really nice for initial setup) and it calculates the bigadv work unit bonus you'll currently be getting. No other program does that last one. Also, it can save the client listing as a file which I've found handy for setting it up again in 2 separate situations. If you'd like to keep F@Hmon, but still know your bonus PPD, use http://www.linuxforge.net/bonuscalc.php to calculate your score.

TPF is found by taking the time of the last completed frame and subtracting it from the one above (time per frame).

10:14:55:>> "Etc"
10:45:32:>> "Etc"

TPF -> 30:37

hey bog any word on when your D0's will show up?

mstenholm · Jan 23, 2010

I might need some help sometime during next week seeting up my new (first) -bigadv rig. Justed ordered a i920 (yes I was to cheap to get a decent Xeon), a Giga something -UD7 (hi-hi) and some CL 7 1600 MHz Mushkin. To cool it down I have my 8 C workshop and a Noctua 14. No case. My workshop is cleaner then my office.

It is going to be a dual boot XP-32 (for tuning in the CPU) and Linux for the folding.

Better get your retired folders back, or....

niko084 · Mar 24, 2010

I'm trying, I'm trying...

I killed a GT240 *4-5k PPD*

Lost a GTS250 for a few days here, should be back up early next week.

Damn unlucky with your card. My comment was however aimed at your northern neighbor. We are gaining, slowly admitted, on them.

El Fiendo · Mar 24, 2010

Oh yea, HWC has noticed us guys. And they appointed some not very good at folding person as their leader / Captain. In fact, I think he's in thread.

mstenholm · Mar 24, 2010

I got my X58 mobo back and is running it in doing some chrunching. Should be good for some pass key action in a few days.

Aww, I tried to get his attention but I don't see him. Hopefully Chriskwarren might be back for a little bit more abuse now and again though.

Oh yes, it will always be on between TPU and HWC.

mstenholm · Mar 24, 2010

Just to bad that 3 of their +30.000 PPD folders pulled the plug some weeks ago. It will be like shoot sitting ducks. Too much wood on the fire you think?

SoulTribunal · Mar 24, 2010

I may have all my gear in a million pieces but myself and many others are just rebuilding and waiting for a certain day before we re-group.

Maybe and with Spring/Summer temps coming back into play, we will likely see more of a drop.

Nice to hear from you again ST. I am also restructuring my farm as we speak. We (Florida) had a cool winter and hopefully a mild spring ahead, so i'm looking to upgrade to lower heat output folding options.

SoulTribunal · Mar 24, 2010

I'm around Buck. Usually always am to give my knowledge to you guys too where ever it is needed. Competition is great but I'm generally more of a helper than anything.

I'm still shy some parts but good to hear you'll be full speed soon too

Hopefully I will be around your level when the dust settles.

Good thing my computers are under my window in which I have an A/C for the Summer time temps. :rockout:

So no slowing down this Summer when my main folding rig is completed.

A whooping $25 a month to run the A/c during the hot days and open windows at night if its cool enough. Ohio dont get too incredibly hot.

I've been chasing Chriskwarren for what seems like an eternity. I caught him a couple of days ago but with today's points I'm hoping that I don't need to look back. Now if TPU can just do the same to HWC!
