The ***OFFICIAL*** F@H Harassment and discussion thread!!!

[The_Barnacle]

I have a C2D T7100 in my laptop running @1.8ghz. I'm getting ~120ppd effective...does that sound normal? I have two clients running and the affinity changer.

Is there anything I could do to up my PPD (no OCing) or am I pretty much maxed?

You should be getting more than that with the SMP client, probably around 7-800 ppd.

1) For a dual core you only need one SMP client running.

2) In order to enable the SMP client use the "- smp" flag when launching FaH.

Then why you doubting

If you think you can beat this frame times get going and proof it to me

Think after next week I'll start whipping myself more to

Fine, lol. You are good at convincing. After this WU finishes I will reinstall SMP.

Can you go into that a bit more; I'm not understanding it fully. Or maybe link me.

Thanks!

the command line of the client should be something like this

"C:\FAH SMP\Folding@home-Win32-x86.exe" -smp -forceasm -verbosity 9

without the -smp in there it won't run in SMP mode. Also, just run one client if you are on a dual core.

Right, I've seen that before, but how do you change the command line?

[The_Barnacle]

Look at step 14 and 15

edit: actually look at the whole thing it's very well written.

[Loony]

It doesn't like the -smp flag.

"C:\Documents and Settings\CMarks\My Documents\F@Hcore0\FAH504-Console.exe" -smp -forceasm -verbosity 9

That's why my tag looks like. When I open it it says "Bad Argument: -smp"

[The_Barnacle]

It doesn't look like you have the right client installed. Follow the guide I linked from the beginning it has a link to the correct client.

[Sparky]

oh you have the really old single core client, that's why! 5.04 is for the single core client only.

I had an EUE on my SMP today, at 87% I wondered why my pointage seemed so low today. Really odd, haven't had one of those in a long time. Maybe it is stanford telling me to shut down the old SMP client and upgrade to the 6.22 already?

[Loony]

Ok, new client is installed with new tags. I have four FAHcore_a1.exe's running maxing out my C2D...I'm guessing that's normal?

It's working on project 3062...we shall see what my PPD goes to now.

Thanks for the help guys!

[The_Barnacle]

Yeah, looks good

That's normal and aboard the FAH train

[Kingcarcas]

Rivatuner doesn't show the GPU usage and it's reading the fan speed wrong so i'm using GPU-Z for that. Do you guys know any other program that can record GPU usage? So far i'm loving it, my CPU is between 5-15%. The first WU had an error so i backed off my OC and the current WU is at 10%

[Loony]

My e7100 was doing ~600ppd.

But now I'm getting this weird error.

[Marvin_The_Martian]

hey looney, if you have any issues, just post the error and we will help you out I bet ya

[Loony]

I just posted it in the error thread close to the top. I just found the error number, ERROR 0x1.

[Marvin_The_Martian]

I know I already answerd

Posting the entire log file in code tags will be a good thing though. And change your shortcut to include the -verbosity 9 argument and run the client again, this flag will ensure more information get's printed in the logfile ( btw please only respond there cuz while I'm atm just as quilty about double posting in dual threads, I really don't like it

[twiggy]

As you guys can see from my PPD, I have given up until Stanford gets all this straightened out. 3 of my quads are down again and I don't have the time to play with them.

[Marvin_The_Martian]

Twiggy use the drop in extend grace period 5.91 or 5.92 and the isue about a stall when not attending the clients goes away

I know PG could handle this better, but I'm sure I can help you use that route to stay folding

In the end, I can do more good with trying to keep you folding then trying to outproduce you

What ya say, take me up on the challenge? If I can't make it atleast fold on after eue's and that way ensure productivity, I'll fold under your name for a month

Edit:

http://foldingforum.org/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=4369

With the public beta release of the v6.22 SMP client, we encourage all our beta users to upgrade to that client. However, since the 5.91/5.92 beta expiration date is rapidly approaching, we have decided to extend those clients to allow users more time to upgrade (and to give us a little more time to work out the issues that invariably come up during public beta testing). Testing always uncovers bugs, which is why we do it.

So...
Drop-in binary replacements for 5.91 and 5.92 beta clients are available at:
http://www.stanford.edu/~kasson/folding ... MP-591.exe
http://www.stanford.edu/~kasson/folding ... MP-592.exe

These expire on 11-02-2008. However, 5.91/5.92 lack necessary features to support the new SMP cores we have in development. Depending on the core release and migration schedule, SMP A1 work units may not be available for the entirety of this three-month period. The extension of 5.91/5.92 is intended to ease the transition process to 6.22 rather than replace it entirely.

Thanks for testing!

I'll ask Riptide to put this in the stickies as well

I know what you mean, it's definately a high maintanance hobby for me, something I really wish wasn't the case. I'm also taking a pseudo-break as another heat wave just started, I'll only be running at night for a couple of days.

Yeah the high maintenance wouldn't usually be a problem for me but my father in law is running for judge here. So with his campaign going, I have absolutely zero free time and when I get free time I try to be lazy/sleep, eat, and spend time with my kid. LOL its rough times around here.

[Sparky]

great news... after nuking the work folder and queue.dat it finished a 2665 no problem today. Something was botched someplace but it seems to be working now.

[Marvin_The_Martian]

2665 still not done here, forgot to up the oc

But it hasn't eue'd on me, so that's good

Twiggy, like I said the replacements exe's I posted fix this stall issue for when you aren't attending your clients closely, it has a 3 month extended grace period so realisticly after you dropped them in you can rest easilly for the coming time. PG dropped the ball but it's fixed to the extend they could I suppose. Haven't seen problems with the 5.9x\s atleast

Oh man my ppd are in the can. Why me??? WHY????????
