difficulties getting started
Posted: Tue Jun 24, 2003 10:04 am
Greetings fellow silent PC advocates.
I've run into a few difficulties since deciding to start running FAH on my work PC. Things are going smoother now, but could be better.
At first I installed the graphical client, but when I would click on the tray icon to maximize it, I received the error "winfah caused an invalid page fault in module G400ICD.dll", which is the Matrox G400 OpenGL ICD. I ended up switching to the command line client, but I don't like unsolved problems, so I'm going to upgrade to the newest driver. If anyone has any other suggestions, please let me know.
The first day the command line client didn't save the frames it completed, but I think it was because I neglected to reboot after the last graphical client crash. It hasn't happened since.
I fired up the client again this morning to finish the last ten percent of the first WU, only to get a message that the due date had passed (arrrrrghh!). A new WU and the gromacs core were subsequently downloaded. The big problem with this is that instead of 4 minutes per frame (200 total), the current WU is taking about 30 minutes for each percent.
Since I'm not going to leave the machine on overnight unless necessary, this WU will take over a week. Thankfully the due date is five weeks from now. Is there a way to force the download of less intensive WUs? Are the points awarded fairly linear, or do tougher WUs get awarded a premium?
