Who wants to cure disease for team 36362?

Sorry tray client, we're not so used to that hehe..

Fahmon just needs to point to the location you run the client from, I think the 504 doesn't place it in some special folder like the gpu client does standard. you can check the location with right clicking on the shortcut and browse destination folder or something alike. Fahmon needs to be pointed to that location when you add a client.

The console client is using one core and it could take awhile to finish.

Huh I just went about overboard maybe telling people not to trash a wu, but it might be even more scientificly sound to trash that one and get the smp going. I'll restain from giving advice the rest of the evening..

I see it might take a while.. though the Phenom is a lot farther along then the X2. I am trying to figure this SMP client.. hopefully I can get everything going.. I did get FahMon reading both systems...thanks for the info I am up for any other pointers

[Marvin_The_Martian]

Well you need to be a lil specific my mind is having troubles keeping up with my mouth uhm fingers today

I only folded on a venice3200 before I moved to intel, so idk what the actual speed diffrences are. I think the phenom for single core apps in most cases should be slower then an agena but like I said not sure. Anyway, there are a 100 members here willing to help you out, like I said as long as you keep it in team Whiskey

[charged3800z24]

do I need to make a custom config file to use the "-oneunit" flag...

how do I set one project to run on more then one core..?

No you just add it in the target line. The smp will automatically use up to four cores...

That's the best place to start. These can be pretty tricky animals to play with, the high performance clients, and you should really read up abit on them if you are to tame and contain them properly.

Now excuse me, I might not be sober this evening, so if you want personal advice, I'm not the one you should look to But when I come back tomorrow and you're still not running I'll set you up ( that's a promise ).



edit: just to proof that, I had the reply open so long that I even missed a post made 20 minutes ago Dak, got goose?

I will hold you to that

[Marvin_The_Martian]

No problem I feel much better now

No problem I feel much better now

Well, I have one GPU client going..And I already have points scored..so I think everything is working.. I am stilllearning. but so far so good i guess... Now how do we track per inner team..ie whiskey, etc.?

Now to get my signature showing stats..

[Marvin_The_Martian]

Tracking the inner competition, we rely on Mike still giving us the charts. I think next contest ( where did I hear that before? ) there will be something abit more dynamic there but for now..

tobad that the PS3 client is out of jobs.

[charged3800z24]

I love the GPU client...it just rolls right through them..

Can you use the -smp flap on the GPU client for multiple cards?

or can you have 2 seperate jobs running, one on each?

Thinking about changing teams and XS looks like a team with some spirit .......

Anyone changed teams before?
Do I simply change team number on my clients and what about my passcode (do a need a new one for a new team)?

Cheers! Keep up the good work.

Awesome, we'd love to have you aboard! I think all you need to do is change your team number, someone correct me if I'm wrong please.

XS definitely has the spirit!

[Sparky]

I changed teams from rage3d to XS (they were too quiet over there ) and just changed my team number. This was a few years ago though before the passkey (and I still don't have one actually) so I'm not sure about the passkey.

Just change the team number on your client and use the same passkey. That's what identifies you as you.

[Marvin_The_Martian]

I swichted around some.. count the teams my username is listed in, their all me ( well except ocau though I did add some points to him as well to make up for not having the most unique username )

Anyway, yeah passkey teis your points to you, though I'm not entirely sure how that works anyway

I'm not that worried someone will abuse my account anyway, I might have allot of people who don't like me but I'm hoping they for better things to do

Welcome to XS Folding team and I hopy you a pleasant stay

Edit.. Rus.. do we know eachother?? I'm thinking we do! And if so, an even warmer from me

edit: charged it's multiple clients, one on each

[MikeB12]

I'm not using a key either. just username and team number...


I'm just curious. but I'm trying to figure out how someone could abuse your fah username... other than they could turnin points for you, but that's not really abuse, it's a gift.

LOL, "I dislike this guy, so I'm gonna teach him and dedicate a 8800gt in his username. when he sees those extra points, man that's gonna be sweet revenge"..

If someone did that to me, I'd say "Thanks, dude!"

anyway. I just dont get it... what's the scoop with fah account abuse? what am I missing?

[Marvin_The_Martian]

Well look at this for example, if I changed my installer to change accounts during run time to mine, they would zero my points entirely

Which is why I don't do that, and which is why I ask people who configure clients to fold under anonymous to fold under 'Marvin_The_Martian (36362' and people who fold for team 0 to join XS, I don't force them but I ask

It has been one of the reasons I delayed the installer as I'm sure some people who can't read a messagebox with the above question will 'accuse me of cheating' that's just how many people seem to dislike me

[Russ_64]

Thanks for the Welcome guys

I will be powering all my rigs down for a long weekend and will be joining XS team from Monday!

now I am confused...
zero points...
and your installer is message asking people to fold under your name and team....

that sounds more like a result of you abusing fah's policy "don't borg people's machines without their permission"... it doesn't sound like someone else abusing your account...

I'm just gonna try and forget...

[Russ_64]

Yeah, it's confusing but there are two scenarios-

First, someone else starts folding using "your" name and team number - so they are actually adding to your score (unless the Passcode actually works and both parties have one linked to their own Email address).

Second, someone else maliciously adds a user with your name to another team which then starts at Zero points (same as changing teams)

However, I don't think they can wipe out your existing points stored in the Stanford FAH database ............

yeah, but you can fold for however many teams you want, and at the same time. the points don't overlap, and they are recorded separately...
I've done it myself or XS and OverclockingWiki..
and we have other users here like RR and wfo that fold for multiple teams. and switch back and forth from time to time.

so switching teams really doesn't affect anything. points stay where you folded them.. the only way they get zeroed out is if Pande comes in and catches you borging machines illegally, they'll wipe you out. that actually happened to someone here at XS... it was before my time, but I stumbled into it on fah one day. maybe some of the old timers will remember it. edit: found it http://www.rage3d.com/board/showpost...9&postcount=53 it was on the old fah forum, but they lost it last when the forum was transferred.

all folding for a new team does is pops a new separate stat in for your teams list... it doesn't zero out your user for any of the other teams you're folding for..
