Certificates

[m4cc45]

Just a weird question, I'm doing the folding at home project and the united devices cancer project, with united devices you get to input your address with foldng you don't.

What I'm trying to get at is that on here I've seen a few posts saying that the postman has delivered certificates - do you mean you've got the certs from the website or actually delivered and if so how have you had the folding certs delivered as it doesn't have anywhere you can put you addy?

Strange question I know!

Nah, it's just the virtual postie

The certificates (tiffies) are just downloaded from the Stanford stats site and proudly displayed for all to see (willy waving tbh ).

Just go to your profile on the folding site at stanford and there is a link to your tiffy right next to your current score.

Yours is currently http://fah-web.stanford.edu/awards/cert.php?u=M4cc45&pts=149

Aye I've seen them just wondered what the postie thing was - lol

Never mind time to be quiet again..

it would be a great touch when you got to say 1 million points though

of course there's nothing stopping you from printing it out and framing it
not that I'd do that sort of thing of course

Well when I originally read it, it seemed to be an excellent touch and I wanted to get the results quicker!

I've decided that until I get my two computers sorted in my new place (next couple of weeks) I'm going to be doing a week of United Devices Cancer Research then a week of folding.

This week is U.D. I'll change my signature to represent what I'm doing week in, week out - running them both at the same time doesn't really work as UD uses more CPU than Folding for some reason... once I have both machines up I'll run them in parallel...

Folding can be set to slightly higher priority than what it is at default - the default is "idle" and slightly higher is "low"
"Low" used to be the same priority as Seti classic so they would be able to share.
You can change the priority in the advanced settings of the configuration, it may or may not end up at the same priority - depends on what the other software is set to

Of course as they'll only get half each anyway there's no real harm in doing it one on and one off - just wanted to let you know there could be another solution

Hi Mate

I tried that but it still didn't share the cpu fairly - UD tried to take over - lol

It also didn't seem to even out as well - if I had UD on it's own it ran fairly quick with folding on it ran like a dog and so did folding if I have folding on it's own it runs quick - sure theres a reason though.. somewhere...

If you try to run two things on the same priority you can get 50% on each program but there is a lot of wasted cycles as the pc decides what to do next, it's best to run it like you are, week about.
