View Full Version : We now have our magic v2.0 number! Read here

I've signed us up already, so when the v2 client is released, we can quickly make the upgrade! In this new client version, you will have to write a specific number to join a team, instead of writing "(www.overclockers.com)" after your username you can simply use this number.
The number for www.overclockers.com team is... TADAAAA:
32
Yup, thats it. 32 is the number you need to remember. Simple, very simple. However, I am not able to check if it works, so I guess we will have to wait and see. Unless something was screwed up at the server side when I signed us up as a team, 32 should work.
FOLD ON people, I hope you are looking just as much forward to the release as I am!

so that explains why i got this
3009 GuNRocK(www.overclockers.com) 3 0 1
so when we download this version what do we put Gunrock 32? or am i completly messed
If the new client is anything similar to genome it will ask for your name at one prompt and your team number at another prompt. Actually I think there is a pretty decent gui for the new client, but I only saw a screenshot of a beta (alpha really) version.

The stats where reset for awhile, but they are back to normal now. I dont know if they will be reset again though.
OK. These WU's go superfast! :D They won't go that fast when it's released but here is how the stats for the team will look, except there will be more than one person there, I hope.... Anyway here's the URL

Hey Ploaf that stats page looks pretty cool does the client lool the same as it does now? Post a screen shot if you can.
Thanks.
Here's a pic of the client config-
This is what it looks like when it's running- I made the mistake of compressing the one image too much, hopefully this one isn't as bad.-Had to resize it though.

Very cool. Do you know if we are going to be able to cashe units? How long are they taking you per frame or can't you tell?
Thanks for sharing this with everyone. I've heard about the infamous 2.0 for so long that I was begining to wonder if there really was even a bata.
Caching already works from what I've heard, haven't tested it myself though. There were a lot of problems with the previous beta's and this one has problems. There is a full screen option that is almost guaranteed to crash your machine and the installer has been giving people prob's, but at least it connects this time :D
The proteins are only 10 frames and they are going extremely fast. Every minute or two my modem lights up and it dl's another wu. This is temporary though. They want to transfer as much data back and forth as they possibly can to try and crash the server. I suppose this would also test the caching ability. When the beta test is over the proteins will be much bigger than they are now.

Thanks for the info Ploaf.
Can't waiit till they release it. I just hope they get some of the stability issue's worked out.
I'm might let it run overnight to see if it runs stable. Some of the problems with the client may be repairable by third parties. They are going to open source a lot of the non critical code so that mods can be made to the client for aesthetic purposes, maybe even for tweaking the UI.
<edit>Well, it crashed a few hours later :(. Sent in the logs and sys info and hopefully they find it to be useful. Back to the old client for now.</edit>

Thanks for the screenies, looks nice :)
I hope there's a console mode for it, though. I prefer having it start as a w2k service & monitor with EM.

looks like its coming along well. the ability to cache units would def be a plus...like today - when the servers went down....again. :)
breadman i love the avatar. hehe.
Believe it or not that was the console mode :D. I never bothered with the screensaver especially after the full screen mode crashed (and crashed hard BTW, every app running started throwing out errors)
That version didn't follow the windows api real well but it did minimize to the tray which was nice. Also, in the pic where you see the username- if you click on that it takes you to the stats page. So there are some nice features. Just wish it would work without crashing. ;)

Here's the Linux console version, I'll post another once it finishes a frame or two.
These frames are taking forever....
I like it. That's pretty good that they decided to stick with the console version for Linux. I noticed that the frames take a lot longer too, but the proteins are the same size I think, just 10 frames instead of 100. This makes me wonder about Linux optimization and how much they've accomplished. It would have been nice to switch over to Linux on several boxes since it is more stable. I'm about to finish the second one since late this morning running winME. I started it at about 10:30AM and screwed around crashing(not a stability issue-it was me! then again who said I was stable :p) and restarting trying different things out and it's now about 2:30PM. That's two proteins(20 frames) in a 4 hour period. Not too bad for this machine(athlon@1.4), but it would be nice to compare them side by side with one of the proteins we are running on 1.34. Hopefully the stats will be weighted correctly once this is released.
I kind of wish they would still offer a plain console for Windows. Did you notice that the beta stats were reset?
I've had it running all night and it's still going strong. Looks like they've got it pretty much figured out.
Version 8 of the beta worked really well except for the problem with the full screen mode. Have they released the official 2.0 client yet?
Cool. I just checked and the official is what is now up there. This is not the beta version!!.

I just D/L'd V2.10 and started it. I have a WU currently running under 1.34. What should I do with the old client? Do work units done under the old client get credited to us?
They are keeping F@H1 separate from F@H2.
-=HN=- Wild9
10-20-01, 09:09 PM
ummm f@h v2 installed right to my desktop, what should i do with v134 ???
WU's credited to the old client are staying with the old client for now. This may change. I read a post from today or yesterday from Vijay where he said he still didn't know what he was going to do about it. I think he's worried about upsetting people more than anything else. Starting over doesn't bother me, as long as it's a one time thing and not something that's going to happen every six months.
What to do?? Well, that's up to you. I think that about half the team has switched over to 2.1 now. There were some problems with the new client but it seems that most of us have worked everything out or at least figured a way around the problems and it's working good.
If it helps. I still have 1.34, just renamed the folder. Just in case. ;)

I guess I just have to drop the new client into startup and delete the old .exe file.
I about to build my first AMD system, so the WU's should go a lot faster now.
Iwill KA266-R
T-Bird 1.0Ghz (overclocked to???)
256MB PC2100
All the usual suspects for the rest of the system.
This will replace the watercooled Celeron2 for a while until I get a few more cases and peripherals to put some more comps together.
Pretty cool. The AMD will rock.
As for the OC it depends on the stepping. I have 3 1G AYHJA Y's that hit 1.4 without flinching. I think most of the newer 1G tbirds are being pushed up pretty easily. I have a 900 that won't go over 950 without heating up like a blast furnace.
Welcome to 2.1 Newbie_Doo. They are going to keep the stats separate.

I D/L'd the conosole version, but it does not auto start. I must've done something wrong on the install. I have to log in and re-register upon restart and it grabs another WU. Should I go to the SS version instead? Will the SS version run in the background while the system is active?
There's a graphical console version, and a text-based one. Which one did you get?
Newbie_Doo
10-21-01, 11:29 AM
Text.
I have the graphical console version. I mostly leave the display console off and let F@H run in the system tray. I hope that someone writes a monitor for it though.
Well I just got the 2. version... I might have to end up asking some questions about it if it causes problems... Luck folks :D
Newbie_Doo

I went with the standard console client, and all is fine now.
Now I just have to find some time to build the AMD system. Maybe this weekend I'll rebuild the watercooled rig with the T-bird instead of the C2 and kick it up to 1.44GHz. I am looking forward to having some decent WU times.
AW
I just joined and am folding away for the team.
Ocman
Ok, I'm using F@H2 console twice on my Dual Processor machine, and the full version 2.0 on my other machine, and have been folding quite a few WU's, and they get sent back OK, and pick up new work OK.
I have them configured as name: Doctor
Team: 32
The problem is that my specs on this (http://foldingathome.stanford.edu/cgi-bin/search?q=www.overclockers.com) page haven't changed in 2 days.
Am I missing somthing here?
TIA,
Doctor

Doc that's the stats page for version 1. You need to go here (http://folding.stanford.edu/cgi-bin/teampage?q=32) for the stats on version 2.
Here (http://users.neosmart.com/hruzaden/folding/stats/overclockers-stats.html) is another stats page for you to try.
And another here (http://www.statsman.org/folding2stats/32.html)

10-31-01, 06:14 AM
Here you go Doc this shows that you have 20 units done. You have moved up 6 places on the team since the last update and 91 places over all folders. This is updated about every three hours.
Great job!
Thanx for your help Hugo 59!
I feel likean idiot for not figuring that one out!!!
I've got a celeron 800 I'm going to add to the bunch too.
Folding away.............

Can I set up more then one client? And if so is it the same way?
I'm finally back, currently at 1.2ghz but should be up to 1.3-1.4ghz, hopefully.
I just checked the stats and its pretty close, hopefully i'll help out enough to make it closer ;)
fold on
You can set up 2 instances using the text only client with each client in its own directory. I have it like that on a couple of boxes and it's working pretty good. :)

I tried that but it says I can onl;y run one copy at a time :(
does any one know how to get this working?
Do you have two different folders with the whole program and files in them? It has to be the console version not the graphical. then launch each from there own .exe. I do not have personal experience but this seems to be the way it is done. If anybody knows of the advantages to doing this if you have a single procesor I would like to know. Fold on!!!

well i'm having problems with dsl so i'm on dial up right now, and its much easier if i only have to update once a day instead of 2 or 3. where do i get the diffrent verisons?
edit/update: ok d'loaded the consol verison. so do i need to do anything else besides put it in a diffrent directory? also can i run the graphical veriso9n and consol verison at the same time? thanks
paul
No you have to use the console version. I believe you have to start one and input your name and team # shut it down then start it back up. then close it and do the same to the second one.

well i just set up a f@h consol and still have the graphic one running. So i guess it works if you have both.
Nice! just make sure you turn off the screensaver.

FAH screensaver give some people problems. It has to do with the video cards need updated drivers. If you want to get the client to fold faster don't use the screensaver and minimize client.

when it says wu 50/100 does that mean 50 units or half a unit

First off, Don't think I've had the chance to welcome you to the fold:D , so, now that that's out of the way, 50/100 means you are halfway through your first wu:D .
