TPU's F@H Team

Ah, so instead of doing two workunits at the same time, I do one at double the speed. Interesting.

 

[Jess Stingray]

Kind of... there's an SMP FAQ on the site, that should explain it. I just do it for the PPD boost, really. Deadlines are REALLY short though.

 

[hat]

That's OK, I finish most WU's in ~2 days or less.

 

[p_o_s_pc]

What SMP does is... It is a bigger WU and uses all of the cores, most have a dead line of 2-4 days. They are worth most of the time more than 1000. You can make the deadlines hat i can make them when running at 2.4ghz so i know you can.

 

[newtekie1]

My X2 4400+ makes the deadlines@2.8GHz, so a 5200+ should manage just fine even at stock speeds.

Congrats Solaris, you are now running your first SMP WU. I recommend this tool to monitor it: FahMon

ok got it but how do i set it up? ok so i finally figured out how to get it to load my client...but it wont update it or show me progress it just says N/A

 

[Jess Stingray]

Have you told it download all new projects? (FahMon --> Download new projects) This will update the programs database of projects. It's about a 200kb download.

 

[Solaris17]

ya

 

[Jess Stingray]

Hmm. I'll have a look at the site, see if it says anything. It may just be that Uncle_Fungus hasn't worte that project in yet, because it's a new one. You didn't point it at the work directory, did you? It needs to be the folder with the .exe.

 

[Jess Stingray]

Nothing on the site, try doing another update and restarting FahMon. That might do it.

Also, I just noticed I made 1000th post in here. Looks like Folding has really taken off here.

SMP isn't working for me. I put in my computer username (User), and my password, but it says couldn't connect to user-lotsofnumbers...

I do not have a password for my Windows account, is that what I'm missing?

 

[Jess Stingray]

yeah, you need a password.

 

[Jess Stingray]

OK... Solaris, open Task Manager and see how much CPU time in total is being used... I justy remembered one of the bugs in SMP.

 

[Solaris17]

NVM thanks ben i pointed it to the directory not the work folder sorry..... hey but check this out

update on team

Team Ranking (incl. aggregate) 363 of 84520

before it was 366 come on guys w0ot!! #1 is what we want.

 

[Jess Stingray]

Glad to hear it's working now. Also, be careful with WLAN and SMP... if the connection drops with wireless internet, it has a habit of terminating all the cores.

 

[Solaris17]

ya i noticed im running wireless...but when i game it resets my connection so ill leave it be no gaming till it finishes....eta 11 hours deadline 2days ill make it its worth 1700 or so points

 

[Jess Stingray]

Yep. Now all I need is a load of money for christmas and I'll have my quaddie.

Fun Folding Fact: An unoverclocked C2Q can score over 5000PPD on SMP client.

 

[Solaris17]

whats ppd?

posts per day
not really

 

[Jess Stingray]

Points per day

 

[Solaris17]

ok cause mine just went down a little......but were it says credit i will get that?

 

[hat]

Ok, I got it half-working. It seems to be trying to connect to 0.0.0.0, and it isn't getting any work packets. :-?

 

[Jess Stingray]

Yes, as long as you meet the deadline.

@hat: Check you have over 512MB memory assigned to the client.

 

[Solaris17]

Ok, I got it half-working. It seems to be trying to connect to 0.0.0.0, and it isn't getting any work packets. :-?

i had the same prob dude now that it actually tries to connect follow newtechis instructions copy his box option for option and it will fold.

 

[hat]

I followed all of his settings, even 100% CPU and 2048MB ram, still nothing.
