I just started Folding tonight and just about to finish a WU, but ive noticed my cpu temp has gone up a lot. I usually idle @ 29 C
but now its @ 44 C without me doing anything. I relize my CPU clocks are being used so its not really idleing. Is this alright? Im going to leave it on all day while im in school (7am-6pm because of sports). Could the extra heat cause any damage or something soon or in a few months? I dont want anything to happen while im not here and come home to a overheated and crippled computer.

Also..... just an as if..........

If the computer overheated and it locked up, would the temperature continue to rise to the point where the components would damage?

R0BB23
01-29-02, 08:56 PM
folding uses 100% of your cpu or whats left over that would total 100%
so your comp is put under pretty heavy stress when you fold.

so those your temps will rise, but that much is questionable.

mine went up only 4-6c from idle when i fold. so that is something to watch.

oh and 44c is an ok load temp for an oced comp, but its just a 15c rise from idle to load that worries me.

I dont overclock except my video card is OC'd slightly but there is little heat comeing from it. I could add more cooling. I have a 120mm fan lying around which I took out because it was too loud and I didnt need it. I could put it in and only run it when im not home....... or mabey I need it when I am home? I dont think ive seen my CPU temp this high, except when I was running another program that took 100% of my CPU. Since it idled so low I didnt test the load temp.

lol i am now folding on my family computer (the only 1 that has internet access at the moment) it is a PIII 866 and its a dell so it old has basics (128mb of ram, who knows what vid card) it will help. what does it mean when it says WU Progress: 2/100? doesn that mean 2 WU's are completed or 2/100 (2 over 100) of 1 WU is completed?

Looks good. Welcome to the team.
When the client downloads part of a protein to work on it divides it into frames, sort of like a movie. The WU that you have has 100 frames to be calculated and so far it has completed 2 of those frames. When it reaches 100 frames it will have completed 1 WU and will send the results to Stanford, or at least it should.
In this case 2/100 means that you completed 2% of 1 WU.

Hey, just started folding for team 32 last night (about 15 hours ago) and turned in a WU. I have two comps on it, the one in my sig and another 450 P3. Maybe I can get my 800 laptop in this too. Actually, my 450 is just about to return another unit bumping me up to two and my other is at about 80 percent. whoopee! (I am forceflow2 for F@H)

Welcome to the Team! :D
If you are the only one who logs into the system then the installer should have placed a shortcut in the startup folder so that it starts when windows starts. If you aren't the only one logging in then it can be run as a scheduled task that starts whenever the computer is started, no matter who logs in. THe only thing with that is that you won't be able to view the client running, but it works.

Thanx Joanne and Ploaf. I take it you have to have at least one WU before you show up on the list? About how long does a WU take? My AMD 750MHz (oc'd to 798) has been up for 24hrs and only 93/100 done.

You will have to complete one wu before you show up in the stats.
As for the time it takes... It depends. Each wu is different.
There is thread dedicated to determining the times for each wu here - http://forums.oc-forums.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=58254

There are times for various proteins and cpu's and it should help to give you a good idea as to whether your system is being all it can be. ;) It is a long thread though.

I don't wanna sound like an idiot or something but what's folding@home ?

Ploaf
02-20-02, 08:45 PM
Folding@Home is a distributed computing project, the sole purpose of which is to figure out how proteins fold and misfold in the body so that we can come up with medicines/treatments to help prevent diseases that are caused by misfolded proteins. This task requires amazing amounts of computational power. The projects are divided into smaller tasks which are sent out to users on the internet to take advantage of the power of thousands of individual pc's all connected to the internet. The power they derive from this method is greater, although different in function and ability, than most supercomputers and is useful for this sort of task. In this project we allow, in the case of Folding@Home, Stanford University's Pandegroup(the people running the project) to send information that needs to be calculated to our computers. The computer performs the calculation and sends the work back to Stanford where it will then get more work to complete. The results from the project will be released to the public and it is proving useful to IBM, NASA and a few other folks and has received the endorsement of Intel.
We have gathered into a team that competes with other teams to see who can do the most work. The science of the project is serious. The teams and competition are just something to help keep your interest. Hope that helps. If not then more information can be found at http://folding.stanford.edu

Just joined, already done 3 Sidechains on my new 1ghz Duron (Morgan core). Already overclocked to 1.12 and once i unlock it im pretty sure i can get 1.2 out of it (9x133).

In the original Folding@Home project i folded for HardOCP but now i much prefer Overclockers (site and forums). I was using my old celeron 500 (now broken) to fold for [H] and now i've got my new PC im folding for Overclockers...

F@H seems a pretty good way to 'burn in' a CPU...

Well, I'm not sure if this helps, but I've joined using my poor old Compaq proprietary piece of s__t. Its a p3 800 w/ 256 mb sdram. Not sure what it truly clockin @, can't even figure out who the actual manufacturer was on the mobo. but I've at least made sure it has plenty of cooling. (btw- the Compaq is only temp till I get my mod up n runnin). Please let me know if I did it right and enter me on the next updated members list. Thanx!

Just joined today. Was running Seti for a long time!! Got tired of seeing little result. Figured this would be a much better use of computer time. You never know, we might find a cure for something important.:D I'm currently running a factory unlocked Athlon 1.4 t-bird@1547mhz. Hope I can contribute a lot of WU's to the team, it will be running in the background all the time except when i'm playing games.:)

You can drop the (www.overclockers.com) from your name if you wish just make sure the team # is 32 regardless. The 32 is what makes you a member of overclockers.com. Welcome to the Fold:D

folding @home still fairly new to me.
I read the faq, but after working all day today, my eyes are hurting and most of it didnt absorb.

just a few more questions..
if i close it (ex. power failure), do i lose all the wu progress or does it just stop where it is and continues when i run the program again?


does the program itself turn the completed wu's by itself or do i have to do it manually?

my cpus are only "on-line" when i'm @home, i have a 9-5job.
also have a 633mhz celeron @ work, will also stat using that to fold tomorrow.

Welcome aboard, Dragonbud!

The program is automatic, It only has to be online to send and receive completed work and new work. If you have a power failure or turn your rigs off, it will resume where it left off when you power back up. :cool:

"folding@home" the at home part made it sound like a cable service :D

anyway, i have downloaded the console, and it's currently on frame 9 of my first wu, running it on dterm console, so it looks hardcore on my desktop.

one question, does it save the progress when you close it? or do i have to close it after a wu? how does that go?

Welcome to the Team! :D

It does save your progress. ie if you are on frame 9 and shut down it should still be on frame 9 when you restart. It is possible for it to lose a WU when doing this, but that possibility has been limited with updates to the client and doesn't happen very often.

Nope. You have to use the team number which is 32 or the team won't get any credit. If they are listed on our team page then we are getting credit. Some people still add the (www.overclockers.com) to their name even though they don't have to any longer.

Well I been reading the overclockers.com board for a few weeks now, and thought I'd join the folding team (32!). It remains to be seen how soon I'll actually be overclocking my system. Right now I'm dependent on my system for $$$ so I have to be gentle with it.

The setup is confusing. Simple, but confusing. It asked me for personal information (name), not a "username". Then it never asked me for a team #. Later I changed my user name, twice, and my team nuber as well. I hope it's all okieday now.

The reason is that hoyle is still in the temp directory. To fix just empty your temp directory and run the program. I think that if you put the installer in a different directory and run it is a way around the problem. Good luck.

Welcome the the team. :D
If you are running the graphical client you may want to try the text version. It's a little less messy code wise and is not as likely to crash. The GUI has had a few problems that way. To use the text version just download it and save it to your folding@home directory. You can then run it like you run the other client and it should work without having to change anything.

It should be fine. When you check your stats it may show that you folded for 2 teams or whatever, but the other kato hasn't turned in any work for more than 2 months and the stats under team 32 will be correct for you. It's also case sensitive, or at least it was case sensitive so your name should appear as a separate listing. Welcome to the Team :D

You have to complete 1 full WU and turn it in before appearing on the stats page. Then it takes some time to update the page. If everything is configured correctly it will happen. This moves into the next question. 9/100 is the measurement of your progress with 1 WU. The WU's are divided into frames. In this case your WU has 100 frames. When those 100 (ie 100/100) frames are done you will have completed 1WU. The WU's are weighted by score because some take longer than others and the score is used to reflect the actual amount of work that was done by your computer.

I don't know offhand what the 1 Aps is but I assume that it's the protein that you are working on. Maybe someone else will know for sure.

Sorry but i haven't complted a fold since my last post :( I tried the console version with no love.. But alas i had other problems... It just so happened to occur when i started folding.. I wound up doing Fdisk to start from scratch(i had more file coruption than i could shake a stick at.. it had me thinking i had another bad mobo :(.) then after hours of playin with this piece of crap.. i found i had a faulty NIC card (2 mobos 2 sound cards, and now a NIC) If that isn't enough to drive a grommet crazy i dont know what is.... Anyway,, i will be reinstalling software soon so i can help my team again.. BTW I am trying to learn how to set up a hub through DSL (pppoe Protocol) so i might get 2 systems folding for us.. the puter i gave my son is an athlon 1.0 ghz @ 1087 mhz and 512 mb ram.. this baby is very efficient and i would love to see what it can do against my sys :)________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ ______

Ran out of time on router, but i have my main rig back on line :) Its good to be folding again !!!!!!

Ok..I just signed up and put my first system on. This is what I bring.

Intel P4 1.2 – 512 mem * Running now

AMD 1.4 – 512 mem * Will add this tonight

Dual Celeron 500s (BP6) – 512 mem * Will add this tonight

AMD 1800+ XP – 512 mem (Water Cooled) * I will have this up in a few days. I am still testing the WC setup and I need to install OS and Software.

Intel Celeron 433 – 256 mem * I will have this one up by Monday as well. I need to throw a NIC in it and reinstall the OS.

The AMD 1.4, Dual 500s, and 433 will be pretty much dedicated since they are usually idle. I think I have enough parts to add another low-end system, but not sure till I get home.

I hope this will help.

*Update

I was able to get another system added. So as of tonight, this is what I have running.

P4 1.2 MHz with 512 RAM
AMD 1.4 MHz T-Bird with 512 RAM
Dual Celeron 500 MHz with 512 RAM
Celeron 700 MHz with 128 RAM

Again, I will try to get the AMD 1800+ and 433 Celeron up by Monday.

This is folding@Home. It is a distributed computing project. This means that they distribute work that needs to be calculated by a computer to thousands/millions of individual computers on the internet. All of these thousands/millions of individuals computers are then able to act as one gigantic supercomputer. In our case we are working on the Folding@Home project. This project is so that we can learn how proteins fold and misfold. Misfolded proteins are responsible for many diseases that we have today, although we are specifically working on the Alzheimers protein. The models being created by this project will help medical science more readily break down the folding process and possibly learn how to treat and eliminate some of these diseases.

How's that?
The client is available here http://folding.stanford.edu/download.html
Our team is 32.
Hope that helped you some. :D

Started folding a day ago, finished a WU today, but I don't show up on the stats page. Does it take a while for this info to transfer there? My folding name is Daddio.

stanfords stats page updates every hour. It could take a day to get up there from the time you sent in your wu. check your log to see if it sent it sucessful or if it's still in queue if you don't see yourself on the stats page by tomorrow. some people are having problems sending to server 115 usually it's one of the best to get.

I've only been folding for a few days. When I check my stats it shows nothing. It says member since (blank), and the other fields are blank too. What am I doing wrong? My folding window says I have 1 WU, but again, nothing shows up at all on the Stanford website. Is this normal?

Ploaf
03-16-02, 05:14 PM
Are you sure that it's configured correctly with your name and the team number?
You can check your config by right clicking on the icon and choosing configure. I did a search for Daddio and didn't see anything either. You can also look in your work folder that is in the folding directory and see if there is a file resultsxx.dat where xx is the number of the wu that was supposed to be sent in. If that file is there then that means that it didn't get sent in.

2old4this
03-16-02, 10:39 PM
No matter what I do, the servers at Stanford don't know I exist. I have installed F@H on 3 machines. I used the same name on all 3, Daddio, same team #, 32. When I try to access my log there, I,m not even a member. Could this communication block be caused by my router? I have my 3 machines sharing a cable connection with a netgear router, system works wonderfully. This thing with F@H has me buffaloed. 2 days of folding, 1 wu completed (according to my machine), no results on Stanford. Guess I'll turn off my machines, unless someone out there can help me figure this out.

03-17-02, 12:24 AM
At times Stanford takes hours or days to show there results. Did your logs say that the wu was sent in?

WOW!!( you see I am new to all of this, and I am new to the protien folding folding@ home as well, so welcome me to both... hehe... and if anyone's got any usefull pointers then please tell me.... also I have TONS of ram
(but not as much as I'd like...) 372 megs of ram, and my sound board is an avance sound board, (older type.. but still soundblaster 16 compliant, might even be a soundblaster pro equivellent.. I am not sure, exactly... my video is capable of up to something like 1280 by 768, or somthing like that, but I have not had much success with anything higher than 1024 by 768 16 million colors, which is the current setting I think... so how does my system compare to other 400 mhz comp-systems ????
is there anyone here who has an asus me99b with a 400 mhz comp, overclocked any higher than 450? please tell me.. if so I want the details... thanks. John.:)

John.

You can get an XP 1800+, Shuttle AK31, and 256 mb Crucial 2100 DDR for about $300 from NewEgg. Use the rest of your setup, sell your old cpu,mb on ebay (or build another system). For very little, you can get a fairly hot machine. Another $50 gets you a GeForce2 Pro (very overclockable), and you will have a machine that can do just about anything you ask of it.

right now I owe around 900 plus dollars (combined) to several credit cards and I only recieve 260 dollars a month for food and everything , except rent , utilities and most of my regular monthly bills.... so it may take at least 4 months maybe more, like 6 mo. to a year or more, to save 300 even..., but thanks for the info...

Just joined the team, its good to see so many people donating their extra cpu cycles to a worthwhile cause.
I lost a sister to leukemia, she was only 6 yrs old, the last 2 were spent in and out of the hospital. That was 36 yrs ago and I still think of her from time to time.
Anyway, didn't mean to get sentimental. I have 2 systems folding and I am just about done with my first wu.
System 1
P4 1.6 @ 2.3, P4B266-c, 512mb ram, WinXP
System 2

Welcome to the Team Wedo :D
You can use the same username on as many boxes as you want. Doesn't matter where they are. The one important thing is that each client is allowed to fetch it's own unique ID#. The username will get the credit but the ID# is necessary to distinguish which work was sent to which system.

I think all you have to do is remove it from start up menu. atleast it works in win98 & win me

I don't know if this will help or not because I haven't run into this prob yet. But anyways:

If this prob occurs at startup maybe you could remove f@h from the startup menu and put a shortcut on the desktop to start it when you boot. I dunno if it will help but it's the first idea that came to mind.

I've had that problem too in the past, I just uninstalled the whole works and reinstalled a fresh copy and have had no problems since. Please don't give up on it just because of one incident, we really need your help!

Hey Tweaked!,

I have five machine's at work that are as follows:

A pentium 200 (don't think it's fast enough, but it's been folding 24/7 for four days and I have my fingers crossed)

Athlon 1.1Ghz
PIII 1Ghz
PIII 930Mhz
PIII 450Mhz

and my sig machine at home is 24/7.

I'm waiting for a computer to get back from Florida and it will start folding as well. I've been testing the possible security holes from leaving a process running over night and it seems to me that the people at Stanford did a real nice job keeping their program only open when calling information from the home server.

If security is a non-issue, I'll bring start about four other machines folding by the end of next week.

This shared processing is a great idea, I just wish it was easier to explain to my non-techie friends :)

That 200 should be able to keep up, I've got a p166 @ work that is able to beat most of the deadlines. I don't think it actually beats them all, but what else is that poor thing any good for. The operating system it runs on doesn't really use any resources, so I leave it crunching 24/7. :cool:

Welcome Cyber Mouse!!! We need the help. There's two teams coming up from the bottom that are going fast and furious right now, Google and TeamRage3D. So ANY machine will be a great help, and a rig such as yours, even better!


Fold on,

Hey Wedo, man you are flying up the ranks in folding@home.

A few days ago we were just a few spots apart. Now I have to scroll up a page just to see how far ahead of me you are. Way to go, that must be some folding farm you've got running there.

Keep it up and you will be in the top 100 in no time.:beer: :beer: :beer: :beer:

Hey thanks Chrismacan.

I've subjected most of the workstations in my network to 24/7 folding, even a 200Mhz MMX that took 7 days to do one WU. I'm just trying to see how much my network can do, compare the P///'s to the AMD, and then I want to start overclocking my home machine to test the difference. All of this will not only help the cause and the team, I'm getting some good networking skills out of it as well..... at least that's my excuse :D

My only question is, what did I do before I was a computer jockey?????

Cheers,
Wedo

Actually, if you do a little research, you'll find that in most cases it's better to leave your rig running 24/7 versus turning it off every night. Expansion and contraction, sudden voltage surges, etc... causes a much shorter lifespan of your cpu and motherboard. :cool:

I do the same. It seems like every time I think I have built a computer that I'll keep for awhile, so many upgrades come available that I end up just building a new machine and cannibalizing the old.

Most likely you are talking about frames. In most cases a WU is 100 frames. Once all the frames are done then the WU is sent to stanford and you automatically get a new WU. It can take a while for it to make it on to the stats. Welcome to the FOLD!!!!!!


Edit: Unless you got one of the super fast WUs going around. I have not gotten one yet so I did not even think about it.:eh?:

Hi and welcome to folding!

It will take me about 2 minutes to get a WU on dialup and between 3 hours and 36 hours to process one. When you get one let us know its type and your CPU speed. We can often fgure out how long it will take to finish.

Cool. That should take approx 48 hours on a Thunderbird 700MHz, but is worth 5 points :eek:

Will you be folding 24/7?

(btw, that particular WU must be completed in 9 days for it to count. You should manage that no problem on a Thunderbird :D)

What net connection do you have? If you have DSL or cable it will automatically send finished work and get another WU. If you have dial up it will bring up the dialer window. I have dial-up, but its unmetered so thats OK for me.

Cool. Cable is ideal for folding farms - you can set up as many PCs as you want, and stick them in a cupboard and let them fold. With dialup you have to connect manually *grumble* *grumble* :D

I think it should cope. You will need to rig it up to the cable connection, a USB or network connection to your main rig should do the trick. My dads K6-2-250 is useless at folding (23mins/frame of a NativeBBA5 = very slow. 3mins/frame or less on my thunderbird :eek:), but a k6-2-450 will be 200Mhz faster and using a 100MHz FSB (my dads uses 83.3MHz FSB).

Try it, it will not get through the units very fast but every little helps.

Welcome to the team.
I think about the only thing that you can do with the machine at work to get through the firewall would be to tell the client that you are using a proxy and tell it to use IE settings where it asks. If that doesn't work it can become trickier or close to impossible, but that's the first thing you could try.
Oh. You don't need the (overclockers.com) in your name any longer. Just the team number when it asks.

Well, two machines at home plugging away, noticed right away, the AMD 1400 is better than twice as fast knocking down WU's than the Plll 600...no surprise i guess. I tried every combination in that configure screen, all last night. That firewall at work won't let me do it, but I'm gonna recruit from my Q2 clan :rolleyes:
Should be able to scrounge a cpl "always on" connects in there...

If the firewall is IGear, find the firewall machine's IP address (ie at our school it is 10.11.0.1) and the proxy should be:

10.11.0.1:8002

It all depends on what firewall is in place.

Well a lot of people use different IP's. I use 192.168.....
The standard port I believe is 8080 or 1080. I use 6533 or some wierd port like that.

Well, one job finished, I noticed the AMD machine locked up a few times and had to be restarted, so i moved the desktop color back to 16 bit and it's been fine since. Is that a known issue? The Plll box was already at 16 bit high color and never stopped, but in 32bit on the Geforce 3 Ti 200 that's in the AMD box, I experienced a few lock-ups when the screen saver went on full screen awhile...weird.

I have one question about folding though. Do you have to have an internet connection to fold? I use a dial up modem at home with my rig in my signature, and can only connect to the net everyonce in a while. I'd like to fold on it...but am not sure how. Any help would be appreciated.

Sure, folding on dialup is possible. You only need be connected to the net to send and recieve work. When you first install the client you will need to be connected till it downloads the core and your first worl unit. However, as soon as it has the work unit you can disconnect. When it finishes it will pop up the little 'dial up connection' box and wait for you to connect. It will not dial automatically unless you set the little checkbox to 'connect automatically' on the dialup connection window.

If you need a hand getting set up feel free to post and/or PM me.

If everything is configured correctly, your stats should appear on Stanford's site a few hours after you have completed your 1st WU.

Eli, you're up there now. The page doesn't get updated automatically, because it has to be done by hand. You will only appear as hbarkley as Stanford drops everything after the @ symbol so that your folding activities don't become food for spammers looking for a way to leech email addresses from the site.

Still looking for a perl guru to help us rip stats off of the stanford site. ;)

Every Mhz counts! Welcome to the team.

Your 450 will be able to knock out proteins under the cut off time with no problem so just keep folding (24/7 if you can :) ).

Yes, you can close the window and leave the tray icon running. If the tray icon is there, you're folding.

Welcome to the team!:D

If you're not sure if it is running, ctrl,alt,delete once and check all your running processes. you should see winfah and core65 in the list. Also, to make your rig run faster, close everything else out in that screen except explorer and systray. That way nothing else is runnning except F@H. Happy folding.;)

Not really, it does if you let the screensaver part run, but if you disable the screensaver, it's about the same.

Welcome to the Fold!!

Those links are great for checking your stats as well as the team's stats.

Here (http://forum.oc-forums.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=84428&highlight=EM3) is a link to where you can get a nifty monitoring program, that'll tell you how long your WU's will take and how many points you've got.

How long does it take to send in a WU...my duron seems have taken a long time to connect to get a new WU. My WU was sent in at 2:00 am and it is now 9:00 am and just now working on a 2nd WU. I could have had another WU done in that time!..I figured that since yesterday I should have had at least my first 3 WU's done for team 32...I only have 1 done and I know that the Duron was going thru those frames pretty fast. My t-bird seems to chugging along on a "protein Anat"pretty slowly.

Puer, Welcome to the team! Stanford's server's have been going through a little bit of a change recently and WU's have been handed out a bit slow to some of my boxes as well.

My production for the last week was cut in half as my machine's could not aquire a new WU, or had to wait to send the completed work out.

It seems that the problems is solved (at least my production level is back up to normal) so just hang in there and let your machine do the work.

Another thing you might want to check is how many other services you have running. I notice a significant increase in frame times when I have certain programs running. KaZaA adds at least a minute to each frame, the screen saver add's about twenty second per frame, and even Norton Anti-Virus slows me down to a crawl during the weekly scan on my home rig.

If you have any other question, feel free to ask, and again, welcome and thanks for the help.

It can take as long as 14-16 hours for me to fold a protein A or -anat... on an XP@1602 Mhz. Those are the longest-running WU's I've folded so far.

Try foldmonitor or em3 to monitor the progress. Both will predict the length of time it will take to complete a WU in progress. And if your computers are networked, you can just install the monitoring program on 1 computer and montior all the computers on your network from there.

Welcome to the team! The program stores it's progress in a file, so rebooting or turning it off:eek: shouldn't hurt anything other than your production. There are times when it will lose it's progress, but most of the time it picks up where it left off. :cool:

I registered under team32

How do i find out of what I'm doing is getting recorded for the team? Is there a stats page for the team?

I'm doing a GNRA pfold 314 protein running at about 2min per frame on the XP2000+

the other machine AMD1.2 is doing a P706_src/peptide at about 1hr per frame.

Is there a monitor I can use to look at processing?
