Folding Forum

Hello,

I recently discovered folding@home after SETI@home stopped.
Installed the client on 1 PC. Liked that I am helping toward solving for issues such as cancer and now COVID.
Installed it on one more PC, however how do I link the installation on my second PC to the same account as my first PC? For combined statistics?

Best wishes,

Just enter the same username and passkey. You can use them on one or many computers.

Thank you very much for the reply.
I see that the web control page for the second computer where I am running folding@home keeps refreshing all the time (every 1 second) and does not allow me to enter the Username and the passkey. I then used the advanced control and entered the username and the passkey. I see no impact.

Is there a web login where I can see the number of computers contributing toward my account?

There are some known problems with the Web Control and certain web browsers. Some workarounds are posted in this FAQ - #7 - viewtopic.php?f=61&t=32463

If you are wanting to monitor and control several computers, FAHControl can be set up to do that. There are a few posts on how to set that up.

There are some third party tools to do similar monitoring.

The official stats page will list your point and number of folding slots as opposed to computer seen in the past 50 days.

You can check on https://apps.foldingathome.org/cpu how many CPU's and GPU's produce for your, or anybodies, account.
Each CPU and GPU has its own CPUid. You can see whats the last credit received for each CPUid and then search for this credit in your log files. If you find it, you know then which CPUid belongs to which client.
