What about a TPU F@H/WCG-BOINC joint effort?

BUCK NASTY · May 4, 2009

Paulieg has come up with a very promising idea. He is asking the F@H team to crunch their CPU's for the WCG/BOINC team in exchange for the WCG/BOINC team folding their GPU's for the F@H team. Personally, I think it's a great idea and adds synergy to both our teams. We all know that our CPU's are more productive crunching than folding. So, what do you guy's think about this?

Edit: We already have 4 GPU's pledged to the F@H team from the WCG/BOINC team.

I'm already doing this

does WCG work in idle as the F@H app does? or is it somewhat demanding and something that needs turned off during gaming?

I can play all my games fine with WCG running. It only uses free resources, so if you're playing a game and it's using 90% of all your cores, it will use the other 10%.

It runs in the background just like f@h. Shouldn't affect normal use.

PaulieG · May 4, 2009

I really think that this could be a great partnership. I'm looking forward to folding my gtx260, 9600gso and 8800gts 320.

DonInKansas · May 4, 2009

This would be great on quads, as most games don't use all them cores anyway.

Kursah · May 4, 2009

I'm doing this also, started crunching on the CPUs about a week and a half ago or so. I'm leaving the GPU's folding though, I figure best of both worlds, donating to more good causes, definately a good way to go.

Exactly.

a_ump · May 4, 2009

then sign me up

, i'll download the app and whatnot in a few

aCid888* · May 4, 2009

I'll put my 9800GTX+ to work, also, my 8800GT and my 4870...should give a nice boost to F@H.

Here's a quote from the WCG section for the people wondering if it will effect anything:

aCid888* said:
I did my first full day of WCG crunching today and I have to say, it makes no difference to anything I do on my PC.

I'm currently clocked at 4GHz on this E8400 and I let WCG use 100% of my CPU, yet I still managed to play CoD4 with no discernible loss in FPS or any other ill effects.

a_ump · May 4, 2009

downloading, now instead of having 2 separate F@H and WCG threads, we should make 1 for both with instructions to both and links to join both in the same thread.

EDIT: lol, my F@H app never used a lot of my cpu at idle, but WCG isn't shy haha my CPU usage keeps fluctuating from 50-100% usage. and i no longer have the idle temps of 38 but of 48-52 haha. interesting program like a 24/7 mini stress test :laugh:

bogmali · May 4, 2009

Huh

what's going on here :confused:

So basically fold with your GPU and crunch with your CPU :confused:

Hmmnnn, not a bad idea there...oh wait a minute I've been doing that already :banghead:

Fold and crunch on folks :rockout:

mmaakk · May 4, 2009

Just joined in

Starting with my E8400. Wanna see how it goes...

If I like it and... If I see F@H is getting new members, will join in with my X6800 and E6850 :toast:

BUCK NASTY · May 4, 2009

Converted my E8400 over. Will do the other 4 CPU's tomorrow.

a_ump · May 4, 2009

now can i run the F@H app and WCG on my CPU? as i have a 7800GTX and it can't fold, but i want to continue folding.

:shadedshu SOOOOOO, my invitation/taunting to you wasn't good enough eh :wtf:

So basically you only heed Buck's advise :confused:

I see how it is

Duxx · May 4, 2009

Ohhhh I like this idea. Now i just need to fix my damn rigs!

CrAsHnBuRnXp · May 4, 2009

When I get my GTX 285, Ill fold on it and crunch with CPU. :toast:

mx500torid · May 4, 2009

Doing this already got 5 gpu folding and 5 cpu crunching, COLDING!!! I can game fine on all my rigs with both of these running, and it seems ,maybe my imagination that my 4850 doesnt reset as much with cruncing going.

You are completely right!!

Hail Buck :respect:

oily_17 · May 4, 2009

Got this going on my rigs...and ordered another 260 just to make up the difference for my Folding

CrAsHnBuRnXp · May 4, 2009

Folding with my 9800GTX currently.

a_ump · May 4, 2009

will F@H run just as good as before with WCG running on my CPU as well?

h3llb3nd4 · May 4, 2009

My 8600GT will get suffocated by folding though

it's already idles at 55 degrees :cry:
