World Community Grid (WCG) which we call "crunching" for short for some reason is a program that runs many different tasks. There's stuff about muscular distrophy, curing cancer, fighting AIDS and even growing rice.

People say folding is for GPUs and crunching is for CPUs because WCG only runs on processors, not video cards. However F@H runs on both, so most people who run these programs run F@H for the GPU client and WCG to utilize thier processors.

that was what i wanted to hear ;-)

btw, lets see if i can raise my electricity bill... got like 10 work units ready today... im surely not very far from folding stability

"Number crunching," no idea where it originated in terms of being applied to WCG.

I refer to the work as "tasks" (what they are labeled in BOINC). A task is synonymous with "work unit" in F@H. It is a set of operations to be executed and, upon completion, returned.

My computers are processing 16 tasks right now.

well, I got FPL coming to check the meter hopefully tomorrow. If they say that my bill was a mistake and that is is not the $328 that they are billing, then I will put my rigs back up, BOTH!


I'll keep you guys posted.

The kittens are praying that it is a mistake.... I hope it's a mistake too... But if not I understand completely.

I will try that. I will also up my ram voltage slightly.

EDIT: I lowered the bus speed from 267 to 264 ram voltage from 1.85 to 2v CPU voltage from 1.21 to 1.23v lets see if that stops the errors

well I figured two or three days won't hurt until they re read the meter and confirm if the bill stands or not.

So im back up until they read the meter and they give me either the good or bad news
however, all default settings. keep the room cool and not pull as much power.

that a64 got excessive voltage... it should run that clock with about 1.0v... if i remember right, and your chip isnt too bad. if you wanna save money, maybe this is a good place to start. it surely are bits, but in end this could matter...

rock on

well thing with i7 when it throttles down it goes to 1.058v due to speedstep so its fine.

the amd I cant lower the voltage. I can only raise.
