Calling on all Intel folders

[DDTUNG]

I have good news. As soon as you finish your current WU, you can set up to fold gromac proteins which give you 50% more points. Currently the only gromac protein is the 903 which is worth 6.2 points and comes from server 111.

This is what you do:

1. Close and delete the entire FAH folder.

2. Download the FAH3.14Console-beta7.exe from Stanford and place it in a new FAH folder in C:.

3. Create a new shortcut and specify the path as
C:\FAH\FAH3.14Console-beta7.exe -advmethods -forceasm

4. Put the shortcut in your startup folder and reboot your machine.

5. The client starts automatically and you can set up your user name and team number etc.

This should give us more firepower against Hotmail and 2CPU.

:)


DDTUNG:cool:

PS If you have more than one client set up on your machine initially, you should uninstall or delete all the clients in step 1 above.

small comparison : a P_180 was running here at 7 mins 53 secs for one frame, the new gromac is running in 5 minutes 20 seconds, for a few more points even :)

This is a P4 3640.
Maybe ppl with Athlons or any other CPU's than P4's can also post if the gromacs are running faster and by how much?
I figure if these things run a bit faster on an Athlon too then its not just an Intel thing to swap to these proteins!

[DDTUNG]

Unfortunately the AMD chips don't benefit from the gromacs. In fact highly overclocked AMD systems often develop instability and have to go back to a lower oc.:mad:

DDTUNG:cool:

[john433i]

Well I installed the console version according to your instructions and it works great! My 1.6A@2.66 used to run a p180 in about 10min 45sec, but the 903 runs at around 7 and a half minutes. This is pretty much exactly the same percentage time decrease that JC had. It seems that us P4 owners will now be able to collect about 60% points more than we could with p180's!

[DDTUNG]

Good to hear about your favorable results.:)

Now you can spread the word among our Intel running teammates.:D

DDTUNG:cool:

PS For those who don't run their rigs 24/7, the gromac core detects shutdowns and turns off assembly optimizations under certain conditions. To force optimizations, add the -forceasm flag to your shortcut.:)

[TheDude]

So..I shouldn't run these on my xp2200@2020mhz but I could on my xp1600@1577mhz? for more points? How high of an OC before it causes problems..anyone try it on AMDs yet?

Sorry Dude, the increase only applies to Intel cpus.:(

[Neptune5k]

Thx DDTUNG, i just got it going tonight.... here's a good reason to get a new C1 stepping p4 :D

[TheDude]

Rats! Oh well just have to fold harder!

Thanks:D

i just joined the XS folding team under the handle "Munky". so far only done 3 Wu's, one p180, p182, and some other fast one.
p4 2.0A @ 2.36 (ram, mobo is limiting me)

why can't I use the normal folding software?

jayel

[Neptune5k]

Hmm... i tried setting up the beta7 client on another pc, but for some reason, it always pulls up pre-existing user info. The console is in a new folder, with the correct -advmethods switch.
All other instances of FAH were closed too.

Any ideas?

[DDTUNG]

I believe this happens if you are running GUI version in the other folders.

DDTUNG:cool:

[DDTUNG]

Because the normal console version doesn't give you
-advmethods and -forceasm.

DDTUNG:cool:

[jarthel]

should I use -forceasm too? Thanks

Jayel

ps. what's the group name so I can join?

Welcome to Xtreme, Glad to have you with us. Just enter the team number 3365. We are glad to have you joining our team.:toast:

[jarthel]

I have 6 p4 1.7, 1 800 and 1 g4 I can use at work. and a 2.4 (maybe 3ghz when overclocked) that will be used once it arrives. :)

[MuFf|n M@N]

fold on :banana: :banana: :banana:

[DDTUNG]

Welcome to Team Xtreme!

If you plan on shutting down your rigs in the middle of WUs, then you should add -forceasm to make sure that assembly optimization is forced on when the rigs are restarted.

Welcome to the dark side.... muhahhahhahah.... muhahahahh

[majormav]

looks like some easier points now 5min 26 per 1% of em thanks for the info DDTUNG and a big thanks to HARDASS for helping me set it up ......

[Tweaked!]

Well, it kinda figures, I finally got around to installing the beta7 on my p///, and when it was initiating the download it connected to server 119, which is down at the moment:( so it's just sitting here idle, waiting for a wu...:(

[Hardass]

Tweaked! your shortcut is not set up right if your connecting to server 119, the gromacs come from server 111. Double check your setup.

[Tweaked!]

Hardass, yeah, I figured that out after playing around with it a little more. Everything is fine now, I believe it connected w/ server 107 now.:)

[DDTUNG]

You want server 111 not 107.

sure you have removed all old FAH folders and programs prior to setting up your new client and shortcut, and check the machine ID.

DDTUNG:cool:

[Hardass]

Did you get a Project 903?

[Tweaked!]

No, guess I'll go back and check it out one more time:(

[Hardass]

Bro, the shortcut does not work in win2k!

[Tweaked!]

Ok, well, I checked everything out.
DDtung, I completely removed all traces before downloading the new one.
Hardass, it's running w98se.
I've exactly matched how ddtung wrote it one the initial thread. This time it went for server 112. Am I supposed to specify F@H or G@H in advanced? I've tried it w/ no prefs, F@H, and G@H. G@H gave me a totally different one.

[mbrock]

In w2k you can do it 2 differant ways.

1 Run it as a scheduled task with the command string in the run box.

2 make a batch file with the command string in it.

I have done both and it always connects to server 111

mbrock, How about a thread with step by step instructions. I like win2k better!:D

Tweaked! you do not have to enter anything except name, 3365, and computer # if diff from #1. Remember to put a space between those flags. beta7.exe -advmethods -forceasm have to put the space.

[mbrock]

The easiest one to explain is the batch file.

In your FAH folder create a new txt doc.

Open the text doc and paste the command string

C:\FAH\FAH3.14Console-beta7.exe -advmethods -forceasm

Rename the NEW Text Document fold.bat

Create a shortcut on your desktop to the FOLD.bat file

I also always delete the client.cfg so that I am prompted for name and team ect the first time I start the bat file.

Talk about cheating *pfft*

[mook]

Since when is doing only proteins that fold faster on Intel rigs cheating? *peer*

Don't go away mad....just GO AWAY. :p

Would you like to clarify and explain your reason of thought on how we are cheating??

this is a public forum our information is your information..


by the way - Welcome to the sickness...

[Hardass]

It,s a program to find cures. How can you cheat at all?:confused:

[MichaelMR2]

Hmm, forget I spoke, it seems everytime I update each of my machines they are getting the 903 core..which appears to give more points as you say..strange

[N8]

lol, first we're cheaters @ the ORB, now in F@H?

it never ends ;)

[mbrock]

Price paid for excelling at a task.:toast:

Well if you researched it first then you would be doing it so how is it cheating dood.. It is just taking advantage of all that is there to use....

[Marci]

Ok ok... lets not all jump down his throat...

Really like that sig marci:D

Greeting from Intel - can I play?

Good question, I search for this thread a lot since I added some Pentiums. I will stick it..if any other mods object please feel free to change it:D

Good work, TD. I'll second the notion:)

This is so depressing!:mad:

[majormav]

points tally has plummeted since they went out of action ....

[DDTUNG]

Word from Stanford is that they'll be back next week.

So take this opportunity to tune-up, upgrade, test, whatever.

I am adding 3 more rigs this coming week so I'll be ready for the next round of gromacs.:D

DDTUNG:cool:

[Hardass]

Everyone build a new folding rig, we will all feel better.:) ;)

take two XPs and call me in a week...
[/doctor mode]

[SuSEQ]

Does anyone know if this works for Linux, too? Ive upgraded my router, and it folds way faster, now it has a P233MMX inside... :D
