Folding Forum

My friend ask to me and i don't know how to answer. Here we go:

For example we use 5 directory of FAH with their own machine number, then we command them to download WUs, then stop them. Next, we fold with them one-by-one ...

if we dont exceed final deadline of them, is it bad?

Somebody can help me?

So long as each unit is complete before the deadline it is not "bad". But it would be more useful to the scientists to get units completed as quickly as possible.

My question is 'why run them one-at-a-time' not concurrently?

If the purpose is to queue WUs, it is definitely not recommended

The best solution is to give Internet access to the machine

He just give me an example on a single core box

Usually he collect with his 12 package machine for a dual-core box ... Hehe ... so he fold them two-at-a-time ...

Oyea, is it good when he transfer his WU to my box, and then i upload it with my username?

Thanks, toTOW. He just try to fold again altough his net connection has been stopped by his parent, because he played WoW to much ...
