15000 points has fallen, 20k is next up, in time for xmas I would think.
Was over at the F@H forum making sure I was tweaked up correctly for folding and came across this, very interesting fact: Vijay Pande says, "In terms of raw teraflops, we have done computations which have sustained 50TF and have a peak capacity of over 90TF." That's staggering, makes F@H the fastest "super-computer" and beats #1 and #2 combined! :eek:
that's mind boggling. :eek: :cool:Quote:

anyone who needs the 3.25 or 4.00 client can get them here:

And for a great cause - humanity!:)
Has anyone noticed any performance increase using the 3.25 or 4.00 client over version 3.24?Quote:

I'm not sure if there's much performance increase to be expected, as its the FAHCore program doing the work, not the client.Quote:

That said, I think some folks have talked about a 1-2% increase with 4.00. Not worth it IMO for the risk of losing WUs.
I am sticking with 3.25 beta myself there's nothing that's convinced me to switch.
BTW Team we seem to be settling in around an 8K a day point production level. I realize the time will come when the team does reach its settling point. I was strongly hoping though we'd be a 10K a day team before we started settling. Mind you we're still one of the top 30 point producing teams in the world right now but I hope there's more to come.
hello...i decided i would see what this was all about, help out you know how it is. ok now i have installed and setup the program for 34149 team id. i was just wondering what else im suposed to to. and then how do i get it to run when im not doing anything...? i dont really understand this but i feel i could help.
This should answer 90% of your concerns hereQuote:

We will get there saps as some of the new members start producing more and the rest of us keep adding machines ;)
Indeed you're right. My thirst for power and domination got the better of me in that post. Conquer OnQuote:

ok i have it setup, and it says working in the bottom corner but how do i know that it is actualy doing something? how long should this take? to change the percentage it has worked?
Just right click it and look at the log file under Status, it tells you your protein. Most projects are 100 iterations and it takes 4 to 45 minutes per iteration on my machines. It just works in the background using unused CPU cycles.Quote:

Some projects take longer than others, depending on the complexity of the protein, etc. Take a look at THIS PAGE and click on the Description next to "your protein" to get detailed info.
Welcome!
one last thing...
i just wanted to know what all this means... thanks for the help!Quote:

You're using SSE if you got the 3DNow boost. You must add -forceSSE to your targetline in your shortcut
when i added that it gave me an error...and sayin it wasnt a flag...Quote:

this is what mine looks like right now...
"C:\Program Files\Folding@Home\winfah.exe" -advmethods -forceasm
-forceSSE only works with the 4.00 beta client.Quote:

For the 3.24 and 3.25 clients you want to use -forceasm, if you have an AMD chip. If you're running Intel it should pick up SSE automatically.
Another handy flag? -verbosity 9 Increases the output in the log file if you like to see more of what its doing.
Yeah I know its truly all in the Set-Up Thread
i read that, and did what it said, i just am not sure if it is actulay doing anything you know?
Is there a way to make it use more then 50% of my proc power? I have the bar all the way over to the right. Or is that hyperthreading at work.
Sounds like you've encountered a common problem and no its not working for you right now. The surefire why to guarantee success is uninstall and reinstall. The greatest key is ensuring all flags are in place prior to the client starting. -advmethods and -forceasm or -forceSSE depending on which version you use are the two most important in your case. After those flags are in place then and only then can you run the client. Now is it possible to enable SSE during a WU without a uninstall/reinstall? Yes it is but it does not always seem to work. If you pause or quit the client and then add the flags and then resume it might work; it might not give it try that way first and if that doesn't work wait till your current WU completes and then uninstall/reinstallQuote:

I run two console versions on my HT P4s, which seems to give me 15% or so improvement in output. Just make sure they are in different directories and add the -local option. Then just set each instance to a different CPU affinity in the task manager.Quote:

ok it has been sitting on 0/2500 WU for the past 40 minutes. and i dont think that is normal. im on a 1.4 amd tbird. i have all the stuff setup correctly to my knowledge. im using folding@home 3.24 gui. i think that is all...
