Starting up on this FaH

[Culinia]

For now, I am not using the Fahmon because I think it can only be used when running as a service which I chose not to do and to run (created shortcuts) when I tell it to, is that description accurate.

PS joined as Team 10

Also I put down as 8 threads as on the guide it says to use 2 for Pentium 4 HT so I reckon it would work with i7 HT as well? Thanks.

This is the screen, is it in working order?

PS Task Manager say 100% CPU usage.
I remember when I used to do seti@home there were different clients you can download like SSE3/4 that optimise the technology (or whatever it does lol), is that the same case with fah? Could not find much info...

Also, is the GPU folding in BETA? Rather wait until beta ends until I try it on my cards...

thanks again for any help

First of all welcome to the team!

Secondly FahMon doesn't require you to be using services, all my clients are launched from shortcuts and i use it. There are a few alternatives too (though i can't remeber names off the top my head)

Thridly, you appear to be running 8 single threaded clients atm. You'd be better off running 1 smp client on you cpu. More complex simulations, bettter science and with a higher reward in terms of points.

Both The SMP client and GPU client can be found in the high-performance/beta section of the website.
Both are being used for proper research, so i wouldn't really call them beta software. On their forum the gpu clinet is listed as 'released', thoguh the SMP client is still in the BETA section it is stable and works fine. The majority of the team are using a combination of these clients. I've never had any issue with either clients over the last 2 years.

It looks like you're running eight of the SMP clients? You want to be running one SMP client but set it up (create a shortcut with a -configonly parameter) to have seven or eight threads
You can use FahMon wtihout it running as a service, but HFM is probably a better monitor to use. Set -advmethods and you'll be able to do the A3 cores as well - higher PPD, especially on an i7.
I've had no problems with GPU folding, evn on multiple cards - it's easy to set up and you can easily stop it if there's a problem.

Edit: beaten, lol. And welcome!

As the chaps above me have said the GPU client is as stable as the others.

It requires one CPU core which runs at about 15% load, leaving the other 7 to work on SMP (or regular, is it still called Gromacs?).
