Strange that!! Forum seems to be down now as well,cant find any info on X2 issues.

And with 8 WU each would take longer to finish
100/8 = 13
100/2 = 50

 

[Jess Stingray]

Meh.

I can't run the SMP client on my X2. Mebeh the difference in rounding for the specific way AMD handles over Intel the SSE2 for this app. Tis why AMD couldn't run some of the large WUs a couple years back, their rounding was found to be a bit different than Intels, and a very miniscule amount off.

I have the SMP client running on my Opty175,and wanted to run it on my X2, when I get it back off my brother.
Ah well then,will just run a couple of console clients as a service,if I cant get the SMP to work.

 

[newtekie1]

The SMP client is running fine on my X2.

 

[newtekie1]

Well I have to take that back now. It seems the SMP client randomly just stops folding on my X2 and I can't figure out why. It seems the Core exes just end suddenly for some reason.

 

[Steevo]

I finally got mine to work. Apparently my keyboard was causing issues, as well as systm isses. And my really old one causes bad spelling as yo uhave to really push to get the keys to move.




Strange.

 

[newtekie1]

I figured you did once you started producing more points than me again.

I've started folding. I've dedicated one of my 2.6gig cores to it. When I go to sleep you will have both of my cores.

Ed - seems I can't join the fold just yet. I assure you, I will build a second computer no matter how low end and have a dedicated machine for this 24/7. I may be able to get one for free.

Question: Would generic processors not be able to do as much as a quality one of the same speed just for this program? eg. Celeron 2ghz vs P4 2ghz, athlon 3000+ vs sempron 3000+

The lower amounts of Cache, lowered bus rates, and lower memory speeds would slow down the calculations.

How many with ATi cards are running the GPU console (not the GUI)? It seems to pack WU's away rather quick

 

[Steevo]

I had mine going, but switched to the SMP cllient for now. I could possibly do the SMP plus the GPU if it would let me on three systems.

 

[Jess Stingray]

SMP works fine for me now.

not sure if it will or not; the way they describe the consoles on the site it seems as long as every console has it's own directory and advanced options are set to different Machine ID's for each console it should work; but some of the FAQ's on the site can be a little confusing.

I have the GPU console and the FAH504 console running at the same time without any problems, but, those 2 alone put my CPU at a steady 100% when the system goes idle.


It's too bad the SMP console isn't more supportive of HT CPU's, even though it's only a 2nd logical core . . .

 

[Steevo]

SMP works for me on HT CPU's, you just need enough speed and RAM.

 

[imperialreign]

even a single core proc. with HT enabled?

although, honestly, I don't think it would really benefit my system too much. Although this P4HT is clocked at 3.06, the FSB is a measly 133 thanks to this mobo - the BIOS doesn't support OC at all, even with ClockGen or some other loaded BIOS tweaker

Apparantly, my dad isn't going to let me do this becuse OMG IT TAKES BANDWIDTH.
I was going to run it 24/7, but he doesn't know how much bandwidth it will take to run the program. I would be using the console version. How much bandwidth would it take?
ps I got the computer for folding

 

[imperialreign]

it uses no bandwidth once it's actually running - the console only connects to the server to download WUs and upload completed WUs. If it takes the console 2 days to finish a WU, then it will be 2 days before it reconnects to the server; I haven't seen it take anymore than a minute to up/download.

 

[hat]

About how big is a WU? in filesize
if it matters I will be using the console version, not the graffix version. And it will be running windows 2000.

 

[hat]

Damn it all...

When I got the computer today my dad said he wasn't going to let me do it because he was worried about having a 24/7 connection to the internet for it (bandwidth). So I found out how the program works. Each WU is 350K, which is such a miniscule amount to be uploading. I tried explaining this to my dad that it wouldn't affect the bandwidth at all, but he wouldn't even listen to me because he's so worried about his bandwidth. damn it all to hell

I wish I was old enough to get a job so I could buy a dialup line just for this shit.

 

[imperialreign]

if the console doesn't have a 24/7 connection, it periodically will re-check to see if the connection is available - if not, it continues working

 

[hat]

I figured it out. On our connection, it will take less than 6 seconds to upload a WU. And WU's will probably take upwards of a week to complete on that old computer (533MHz celeron, 1x256MB SDRAM). My dad is so selfesh with his bandwidth he won't even let me explain how little this program will be using.

Just install it as a service, then he won't know it is running unless he opens up task manager and sees it and knows what it is.

well im back in the game hahahahahahaahh with my rig in specs but this time i live in a house with mad amounts of comps so i have my rig my buds desktop(on 24/7) his laptop my girlfreinds laptop her moms desktop and laptop and ill hook up this 533 later this week let the folding begin!
