Folding@Home News - Attention Single-Machine Crunchers
- Thread starter rich99million
- Start date
I wouldn't have a problem believing it was a single machine, it's only Conc who seems to have a problem keeping his CPU count at something suitableA.N.Other said:Don't see why not - one PC after all, isn't it. Doesn't Concorde have that many on 'one'machine at the moment?
However the single-machines list was started to give people with lower outputs a chance to compete with eachother rather than seeing their name stuck down the bottom of a long list every week (or not at all in most cases).
We've slowly been losing people from the single-machine crunchers list due to not producing anything for 5 weeks (I'd assume that means they've quit) so I don't think it's now serving the purpose it was created for.
Maybe we should just give it a change of name and some extra colours for 2-way, 4-way, GPU assisted etc and turn it fully into the uber-high production from something contained in a single case and be done with it
I'm up for whatever the majority want from the news post

Yeah that could work - perhaps a single core, dual core, quad core and GPU assisted table as you suggested, that way people are still competing on a reasonably even playing field.
Soldato
then i bet there would be 1 person with quad core and dual gpus on there somewhere lol..
yeh that does sound a good idea, single, then dual&quad and an extra colour for GPU assisted

I think a coloured main list could be the best plan and do away with the seperate list altogether.joeyjojo said:Spot on.
Could extend the GPU colour thing to the main list if it's not too much of a problem. Make it a nice "ATI Red" as well

Since Folding only actually uses up one core, it should not matter as such whether they are running on a single, dual, quad, or any other Multi-cored CPU or GPU should it?
Not if they are only running it on the one core anyway.
Or have I missed something???

But they will run more than one instance of F@H. So you have one instance for each core of the CPU, with options for other instances if you have a GPU.
In fact F@H specifically allows in its configuration for up to 8 different identities on one PC. Simply create more than one folder (directory) on the PC with the F@H client, run the client from each folder with the -configonly option, just the once and in advanced options select different IDs for each instance from 1-8. Full instructions in the F@H sticky.

Yes, yes, but the original post did say ATTENTION SINGLE MACHINE USERS.
Hang on... Single machine and not single cores... Yes, I see what you mean now.
I myself use a couple of machines... a Conroe and an X2-3800, both are dual core and both are running 2 FAH Clients too, plus my Opty which is a single and thats also running one FAH client.
Erm, hang on, thats 3!!!
just a nudge so this doesn't get lost - no changes for a few weeks which I don't mind at all

You have no idea how tempting it is to use this PC for a week or two, so im no longer single machine. Then turn it off and ask to swapped back
lol - I think the technical term for that is "Doing a Tross"divine_madness said:You have no idea how tempting it is to use this PC for a week or two, so im no longer single machine. Then turn it off and ask to swapped back
I'm happy to make whatever changes people want from week to week - I just need to be told and preferably in this thread so I don't have to hunt around each week

If I have this on for just a week, I doubt it would even complete a WU anyway

Nope. Welcome to the team. You'll appear in the stats as soon as you've finished your first WU. Let us know if you need anything.

Thats right...
WU = Work Units
Keep an eye on the file called UNITINFO.TXT in your FAH folder, as this will show you the on-going progress of your current WU, or maybe use a program like FAHMON to keep an eye on your current progress.

I'd like to be included in the single machine stats, running a conroe e6600. Thanks
