Setting up Rosetta@home

[pH(x)]

I've tripled my effective dhrystone calculations, and quadroupled the other -- running a 2.8C @ 3.5GHz.

We fold with electrons -- it's a fun concept. :)

I've mirrored the 5.5.0 Instruction Optimizations, by the way;

Feel free to repost or rehost anywhere -- the package itself is quite small.

Thanks for your help and your contribution! :toast:

I just installed Rosetta on a second pc. AMD64 3800 AM2 single core
But i'm still using the crappy boxed cooler , I hope it can handle the heatload.
I need better cooling , urgent :stick:
Can anyone confirm whether the new Zalman 8000 cooler is compatible with AM2?
The website doesn't mention socket AM2 , but I think it will work fine using the clips.

just updated to 5.5.0 optimized, my semp64-2800 rig gained 1k in floating and 3k in integrer. :woot:

gonna update them all ;)

Just installed BOINC on my iMac core duo, hope you guys dont mind me being a mac user ;). I never ran this when i was on PC cause i ddint really know what it was, but i do now and my machine sits idle while im at school all day so i figure why not.

Glad to have you, Karpfish! Welcome to the team! :woot: :cool:

If you have any questions, please feel free to post em, or you can PM me.

Got several macs running myself. That is an intel mac, correct? If so it should do well here.

yep its an intel mac, i ran folding@home at one point on a non UB at it was painfully slow, so i stopped. BOINC is universal, so its fast. I also have a macbook that i may run it on too, but i dont want heat issues

so if my average credit is only 14.48, i have to add another computer to get a higher average credit right?

oh, i should optimize it. that might help, does anyone have a link to optimized files? the links i found in this thread didn't work

[ShootStraight]

Depending on how long you've been running, you can expect your Avg credit to continually rise as I believe it is a 10 day moving avg.

Otherwise, I'd recommend goingthru your options and checking the "compute while computer is working"(if you dont experience any problems) flag and removing from memory.

Rosetta has moved to a fixed credit system (approx 2 credits per decoy I believe) so the only way to get more credit is to crunch more decoys. You may run an optimized client if you wish, but it wont assist in getting more credit directly, although it is useful in tuning your system.

As a side note, if you do run an opti and hope to participate in other XS team endeavors, I would recommend that you have a copy of the standard client (or a calibrated optimization) as some projects have expressly stated the wish for everyones use of a standard client.

Changes appear to be in the works to make a fairer b-mark but it could take a bit.

HTH.

this is great, i'm having a good time. making some use of my computer

Can I ask what is Rosetta and folding?

[bullet2urbrain]

Can I ask what is Rosetta and folding?

Sure.

Rosetta is doing medical research similar to folding, however they are run by different people.

Rosetta is run through a client called BOINC and Folding is run by the Folding@Home Client.

If you want a more detailed response, i believe Wiki would be of more help.
