Very impressive indeed for such a brand new team. Now, I've been wondering how come there are no more new folders coming on-board?
I bet there are whole section of people who just aren't aware of it.... We gotta convert them into it... (frankly I think majority of people in this forum are interested in silence for 24x7 operation anyway which they are using max 50% of time)

YES! How long has it been? One month? Hey, we are ripping through without a sound!

same here

194 now, a half day later. That's pretty good! 100 by May 1? You think that's doable??

wussboy · **Posted:** Thu Apr 10, 2003 5:15 pm

I just talked to my buddy about F@H and he was okay with me putting it on his computer, so here's 2.4 Ghz of folding comin' atcha!

NeilBlanchard · **Posted:** Thu Apr 10, 2003 5:16 pm

Hello:

We've got 39 members now, and I'm sure that others will (or have) start folding after they read this thread! There is strength in numbers...

Currently sitting 7th on the team!

miker · **Posted:** Thu Apr 10, 2003 5:26 pm

I'm estimating we'll break 100 in mid-May, unless we add several new folders.

MikeC · **Posted:** Fri Apr 11, 2003 2:23 pm

189 less than 48 hrs after 200! Looks like we MIGHT hit 100 by monhs end; just 5-10 more people would gurantee this!

MikeC · **Posted:** Fri Apr 11, 2003 5:52 pm

Wow, a couple hours later, we're at 184. :!:

wussboy · **Posted:** Fri Apr 11, 2003 8:47 pm

I think Mike's excited!

Expect my first WU by midnight MST.

fmah · **Posted:** Fri Apr 11, 2003 9:06 pm

I'm on my first WU, but it is out of 500! I guess that is not normal? Does the system just randomly give you your next computation?

DaShiv · **Posted:** Fri Apr 11, 2003 9:12 pm

I've done WU from 100-400 frames, though I've heard it goes as high as 600. AFAIK the system gives you your next WU randomly unless you run the F@H client with certain command line settings.

Happy folding!

One suddenly gains a sense of passing others in a race as the hill winds up and the pack slows down, seeing those ahead only as posts to mark one's progress by. Amazing what a little competition can do!

fmah · **Posted:** Fri Apr 11, 2003 9:16 pm

I will need to get a router so I can connect my other computers I guess. And hopefully I'll have my custom quiet boxes soon (once I get them designed).

178!

i've been getting 500 frame work units too. my p4 seems to be crunching right through it. the two i've gotten so far are gromac's core.

Code:

it started working on my 6th WU at 9:32 this morning. its now 12:22. and this is what i've come to:

Code:

um.. on second thought, i think my time's screwed up (in the log files):

Code:

[16:15:26] Writing local files
[16:15:26] Completed 215000 out of 500000 steps  (43)
[16:24:10] Writing local files

[16:32:57] Writing local files
[16:32:57] Completed 225000 out of 500000 steps  (45)

it was 12:22pm when i was at 43%... not 4:15pm. :?:

owz, i still love gromacs

NeilBlanchard · **Posted:** Sat Apr 12, 2003 10:58 am

Hello:

There are two main types of work clients: Genome@Home and Folding @Home, and within those there a couple of different styles. I don't know how to tell which is which, but I've seen at least 3 different styles and then one of these has about 3 different "sizes". That I've run into so far...

Our team now stands at 40 members and we are #174! Keep 'em coming!

[Edit: We're at #170 with 41 members!]

I'm not sure if this is right. I finished 1 WU with the graphical version. I stopped it after it started the second WU and then installed the console version. Am I supposed to do anything special like uninstall the graphical version?

The steps usually don't have much bearing with how big the work unit is. (or how much score you get). In fact, smaller step ones tend to be more demanding vs those with 600 steps.
It just depends on work units... There is stats page where you can look at what work units are available etc @ standford.

Rusty075 · **Posted:** Sat Apr 12, 2003 11:26 am

Nope, as long as it sent the first unit you'll be fine. The second unit that the graphical client downloaded will just eventually expire.

Don't have to. However, the work unit doesn't just transfer over. Different clients are like different machines altogether as fart as FAH is involeved.

heeheehee, he said "fart", heeheehee :wink:

rpc180 · **Posted:** Sat Apr 12, 2003 12:09 pm

I'm onboard. Its cool that it still runs while the screensaver isn't on!

Btw, I read on the forums on the FAH website that Genome@Home points don't go to your Folding@Home team, so make sure you got your clienttype set to folding only.

fmah · **Posted:** Sat Apr 12, 2003 1:21 pm

Another question, working on second WU, but if I exit the console do it just keep track of where it is when I restart it? Since I don't know console commands.

Rusty075 · **Posted:** Sat Apr 12, 2003 1:23 pm

Yes fmah, it'll remember where it left off. You'll have to redo whatever frame it's currently working on, but that's all.

Actually Wrah that's not quite true. If you're on a G@H team then you won't get credit for F@H units. But if you're on a F@H team (which is what SPRC is) you will get credit for G@H units. It's alittle confusing. It all stems from when they were two separate organizations.

We just got to 200! - 174 only 2 days later!
