Folding Forum

Hi everyone

I tried searching for this but didnt really find the answer in the results. I spent most of last night and today folding on my laptop and decided to run it on my main machine this evening. However when I ran it and added my username, different team though, it seemed to allocate me the same project WU. I set a different machine ID but it now may be duplicating work on both machines? How do I make sure than when both machines run, on different machine IDs, that they are doing unique work?

You shouldn't be seeing the same WU on both computers. Please post the part of each log which shows the Project xxxx: Run, Clone, Gen line. There are four numbers involved. If all four are not the same, then you are seeing two different WUs even though the project number might show they are a both a part of the same project.

Thanks for the prompt reply. I have switched off my main machine, fans too noisy late at night. I just checked the main protein number, and not the the smaller numbers. Weird how the other WU seemed to be the same number of calculations. Maybe its just the way it has been broken up.

All the WUs in the same project are the same length and have the same base point value.
