Correct. Remove bigadv and add advmethods. Verbosity 9 can stay no matter what, that just affects the logging. advmethods can stay on the GPUs.

To qualify for the bonus you need to fold 10 WUs before the deadline. With an i7 that is probably 4 or 5 days of folding - unless you have more than one SMP client. I don't know if GPU WUs count towards the bonus.

Simple question for us noobs:

If you have more than one rig, but only one capable of bigadv - do the rigs that are not capable of bigadv count towards the 10 required before you get the bonus?

The only reason I ask is because I seem to be getting the bonus but only completed a couple of work units on the i7.
 
Thanks very much for the info Mr Frozennova and Mr SiriusB duly logged, noted, copied, backed up and printed.
I should be ok now, i take it the required passkey is this one ....muchas grasias :)

 
Hurrah!!!!

The circle of life is complete, i now have all the required info and practice to be able to switch between crunching and folding at will, probably hang around in folding for a while untill i can be sure Loudbob doesn't wipe the floor with me :p:)

LOL

I think if we stick around for a bityou will outdo me......

But, I am nothing if not a trier :D
 
People do find it hard to believe i am not competative it's purely fun and i think we all try damned hard, it's the learning curve that has kept me glued to my screen for the last 9 months.
Its been a blast and i might as well get the season started by wishing each and everyone of you a hapy christmas and a stompingly good new year !!

That is of course unless you thrash me in which case "pox of a thousand hookers be upon you"

:D

Am at a bit of a loss regarding adv tasks, is it right you have to complete so many units before getting bonuses, looking at a snippet of hfm net am i getting 24000pday for teh adv units or 24000 for the whole task.
Appreciate the help as you know it takes very little to "warp my fragile little mind" :)

OK looking at that graph its hard to tell whats what, but are you running two i7 CPU's with 4 GPU's in each box?

Ignore the PPD/Mhz because you just have 1 in that box in the clients setup in HFM.NET, but you are folding bigadv WU's you can tell by amount of Credit each one gets (68/72K) and the reason you are getting probably 24K(ish) is because you either have a lowish overclock or, if I assumed correctly in my first sentance, the GPU's are robbing the interrupts of the CPU.

Great googley moogley!!! just when i thought iwas all sorted, to heck with whats done so far am doing 2 formats tonight, yes Mr Biffa sah 2 boxes running the same (soon to be in 1 box).

So once i have formatted all i need to be doing is smp multicore untill i have completed enough work to start getting big adv bonuses then i can switch over....if thats right will go and get sorted this eve.

The only decent thing i've managed this week is braiding...few broken pins...chain smoking Marlboro and a bottomless pot of coffee.....
Folders of the great Team10 i give you tadaaaa :eek::D



1 down 47 to go...lalalalaaaaaa :D
 
47.. what the hell are you braiding :eek:

May I also suggest once you have all your clients up and running you give them better names that SMP 1, SMP 2, GPU 1.. etc!

Name each machine and then number the clients.

CoffeePot SMP 1
CoffeePot GPU 1
etc

Malboro SMP 1
Malboro GPU 1
etc

:p

I would say that is the sensible way to do it as normal A3's are a darn site quicker to finish than BigAdv units.
