Folding Forum

In a situation such as this, when a unit is submitted and hasn't received any bonus points, will the donor receive the bonus points they should have got at a later date or will it just be the base credit for the unit? I was just curious as to whether or not you guys had a way of backtracking?

Damn, I'm making the transition between windows folding and linux folding so I now need to switch back to windows to send the unit never mind.

Seems to be working now guys! Don't know if you'd already seen or not but the server stats say it's back up.

I don't know if you've seen this thread: http://foldingforum.org/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=19032 . It's for the same server and seems that someone will be taking care of it when people get to work. I believe that it's still very early at Stanford so we'll be waiting another hour or more before someon...

Sorry, I was rather lazy there, it's easy to find with a quick google. Thanks anyway!

Hopefully it comes back to life soon! I know that it's not all about the points but my bonus points are floating away!

What is the URL for the server status page? I'm also suffering from the same issue on this occasion.

Same problem. Glad to hear it'll be sorted though! I was worried I'd managed to mess something up at my end!

Okay thank you very much for the help! After all this I'm now going to try and move over to a VM with linux to fold in.

The help is greatly appreciated!

I do just about understand how hyperthreading works, my main confusion was as to why SMP 6 with a GPU slot running as well is folding faster than SMP 8 on its own? In this case surely with SMP 6 it would effectively have access to 3 cores with one core left to deal with the GPU slot and anything els...

So I've had the chance to get a few rough bits of information for different SMP numbers. These are all for project 7611 WUs. SMP 6 - 7mins 20secs SMP 7 - 7mins 40secs SMP 8 - 8mins 30secs These are all recorded with a GPU folding slot running at the same time. Which obviously lowers the TPF quite dr...

I'm really sorry Bruce. I seem to have managed to completely miss that last paragraph of your post. I don't mean to be ignorant - it just seems to come naturally :P Regarding your question though: It is completely dependent on which program I use to measure the CPU usage. I use Real Temp to record t...

I have an nvidia GPU and i know they aren't too bad with regards to CPU usage when folding. SMP 7 seemed to be perfect on the old client but I suppose I'll have to make the decision between 6 and 8. I'll test it over the next couple of days and find what the optimum setting is. The one question I ha...

Okay, I will let you know, although obviously this could be a long process as I only fold for around 16 hours a day and when each 7611 work unit is taking about 13 hours it'll be a few days. I will however keep you informed. I've got myself a project 7610 unit currently though and this is running a ...

You see at the moment, I have it set to SMP 7, it's what I used with the v6 clients and it ran a lot quicker than both SMP 6 or SMP 8 by quite a margin. Obviously in v7 there is not the option to add SMP 7 but if you type your own value into the SMP number then it is possible for it to run as an SMP...

As I posted this it seems that resource monitor seems to have settled out now and is now showing 6 cores at full load and just the 6th core varying between 100% and now about 90% utilisation and then the 7th core at low usage due to running a GPU slot too.

Thanks
