A great big warm welcome to the team!

If you haven't done so already then why not check out the Folding@Home Setup Guide and the Quickie Guide for more foldy-tastic tips especially for when you're in a rush.
Got a Dual/Quad and not scared of getting stuck in to some SMP goodness? Check out SiriusB's excellent SMP Client Setup Guide and see if you have what it takes.


Wow - don't think we've ever come so close to the same production two weeks in a row, also never seen such a drop in team output rankings from basically breaking even :o
There must be a whole lot of new GPUs out there - gotta get me some of that :p

Fold on Team 10!!!

If you've not been mentioned either I've made a mistake or your stats haven't changed since last week - give a shout and let us know you're still alive :o
***Only got one machine crunching? - Have a looky here***

Cheers for the usual weekly news rich. Hats off to ya for taking the time to make the weekly results :D

I was honestly expecting about 87,000 this week. I'm suprized I did 109,000 :eek:

Fold on OcUK :)
 
I think its not so much a drop in production as a raise in production from everyone else, we only dropped 120 since last week. All the gpu crunching is making a big difference for the other teams.
 
Thought I'd just say that after asking whether or not the SMP affinity changer worked with the v6 SMP (DEINO) client, I can confirm that it does, but that it doesn't actually increase efficiency at all. I saw no difference at all - in fact, a slight fall, though that might have just been to do with what I was doing at the time. You guys running it still may as well save your cycles.

Cheers for the news, Rich. Welcome to the haul of new peoples! :D
 
Thanks Rich :) Winding down a bit now after hitting the 1m, but 50k isn't bad :p We really need to recruit some new GPUs, or we're gonna fall behind. There must be thousands of high-end GPUs that get used for little besides browsing these forums and a couple of hours' gaming a day.
 
Nice news as always rich! I pop in here every now and then to see how the other half is getting on - and you all seem to be doing pretty well :)

Now then. I'm thinking of replacing my uber-quick Radeon 9000 Pro with, er... something else. Now, I've heard rumours that these days you can fold on graphics cards! Technology never ceases to amaze me.

So my question is this: could I efficiently use a graphics card to fold on in an old hyperthreaded S775 rig? I've read a lot about GPU folding when running quad-core jobbies, but I don't have one of those yet and don't know if it'd be worth getting a high-end AGP card - insomuch as that's possible - to fold on in my current setup. I run SETI on this machine in HT'd mode, but I'd be prepared to drop a thread if it meant I could do GPU folding. And, if this is actually worth doing, what AGP card would you recommend - purely on a folding level? OS is XP Pro by the way, if that makes a difference.

Answers on a postcard please. I have done folding before, but back in the good ol' days of Ambers and Gromacs, so I think I might be out of the loop a little...
 
It's possible. GPU often uses a whole core, but it doesn't actually do much processing on the CPU, it just ties it up. I'm sure I've heard of people getting good results by running the GPU client on the 'virtual' core of a hyperthreaded system and another DC project on the 'real' one. Because none of the calculations are done on the CPU, the GPU client doesn't care that the core isn't 'real'.

I'm a bit behind on AGP cards, but I think an HD3850 is the best card you'd get for folding.
 
Thanks Mattus, that sounds promising.

Which client would I need to do that though? I'm well behind on the folding side of things - the last time I ran it I used two instances of 5.04, with GPU folding only a pipe dream...
 
Im happy... in the Top 10 Crunchers :)

Ooo and also 2 in the single machine...! (only using my 8800gt! Good results from this card!)

Defo love these stats, something to aim for!!

Thanks Rich, i think these make all the difference! :)
 
Thanks for the news rich

Been a poor DC week for me, with the smp client flaking out on me twice on the workstation - and with the move (no more free electric) I've down to just two pc's now.
Looking at playing with vmware/ubuntu server again, wish me luck
 
Cheers Rich, and in other news...

Prod dropped this week for me due to the SMP client being really flakey and that Kalsson arrived!!! Born on Wednesday morning and can quite happily claim he's been folding since the day he was born!! He's getting the PS£ client and I will try and sort my smp woes between nappies!!
