new to F@H

[italiandiesel]

well i got it to work the first time, and i studdered to realize it took 9 hrs. Well anyway, it doesnt want to work anymore and i am pretty much a noob with this program(s). I was hoping some1 could help me with F@H and Electron Mag III. Also, how do i make a F@H user name so i can get my stats on the page.

Well thanks

What seems to be the problem you are having, also what client are you using? To get your username, simply pick it in the client, when you return a WU you will show up in the stats after a few hours.

i had the one from this site, but i went to stanford and got the v.4. It looks better with the GUI. But the prob is, it doesnt look like it works, it never reaches 1% or anything or begins.

How long do you let it work before you determine that it's not working? Check your CPU usage too, FAH should take all the spare cycles. It can take a long time to make progress.

i waited about 30 mins, its says 100%.... I have an amd xp @ 2.3 ghz... it shoudlnt take 30 mins to show a 1% cause when it was working, it did 1 % every 3 minutes . I am so confused with this lmao.

 

[Mr. Chambers]

are you using EMIII ? is that how you're coming up with the 1% done in 30 minutes?

times vary greatly from WU (work unit) to WU.. if your CPU is at 100% than it sounds like you're folding... in the task manager, does FAH show up as using most of that CPU?

 

[italiandiesel]

yes, right now i am trying to use 4 fahs at the same time... and EMIII says that there is no end to it and no progress along with the cmd prompt.

 

[italiandiesel]

finally, it works now... every frame takes 1 minute to code or whatever...

You're running 4 FAH's at the same time?

 

[italiandiesel]

ya

gets alot more work done in a shorter amount of time

not really.

The highest performance is running 1 instance of F@H per processor unless a new P4 with hyperthreading then 2. Anything more adds to the system overhead and reduces cpu time for folding.
