(Vanity) Folding@Home FReepers - A Tribute to Ronald Reagan

I have 4 CPUs running. 3 have submitted WUs, the last has not yet done so.

1.2GHz Athlon 4 Palomino (Laptop)
700MHz Athlon K7
500MHz Pentium 3
400MHz K6-2
I have some that I tried to add: 1.1GHz Athlon, 333MHz K6-2, 100MHz P5, but they are dead.

I may be able to add newer computers by next month. My best machines have few idle cycles right now.

Two lesser machines that I may be able to add when idle:
2.4GHz Athlon 64 San Diego
2.0GHz Athlon 64 Venice

Every CPU helps -- every single point moves us higher!

You mean they want to join us?

:O)

The last QMD fold my main system was crunching decided that it had what it needed and stopped to called home and send the results after only 23% completion. Then it loaded a new QMD. Anyone have that happen before? I suppose it arrived at some calculation or point in the fold that it did not like and sent what it had. And my overclocked PC's SpeedFan log (freeware utility) shows CPU temps below 60C. So I don't think it was hardware related??

I happened to be leafing through the forums this morning and ran across some discussion of that phenomenon, actually. I haven't seen it myself, but apparently the QMD core bails when something goes awry. It could be the unit itself is "unstable", and therefore it'll happen to anyone who gets that unit to work on. Or it could be that your machine is unstable - the fact that you're overclocking suggests that you might want to watch it for a while and see if it's happening repeatedly. If not, don't worry about it. If it is, you might think about dialing back on the CPU a bit.

I have it now on 2 CPU's it didn't come with the startup script.

My little P166 with 48 meg RAM runs it just fine. I set it to download WU's that don't have a time limit.

I will get my other P166 (128m EDO RAM) working later on this evening. This one is my firewall.

Got it running smooth on all 3 CPU's now. Just had to tweak it a little.

Yes - at first I thot I had "lost another one". But it looks like I got credit and got a 5MM steps unit to crunch on in return - at frame 289 and working on one laptop (IBM T-23) and working on frame 353 of 400 total on the G4 166 PwrBook.

Wish there was an OS9 client - I could bring on 2 more CPUs.

"450 in our sights" bookmark...

Welcome new folders GL_DAME, ThirdOrder, SV, and ShadowSnakeX.

And a question to ShadowSnake...Dude, how did you get a WU without any points?????????

It's happened to me twice over the past 3 weeks or so. I haven't worried about it. Nothing else shows wrong with the machine except running a little warm.

Dude. RE #60, I feel so disorganized :-) I can't even remember which model cpu I put into one of my boxes.

All this talk of cooling made me look at my P4D@3Ghz which has been cranking for probably around a month now. CPU was at 74C. argh.

This case has 5x80mm fans, cpu fan and pwr supply. Power supply is an Antec 480. Video BFG 6600GT, Adaptec 29160 SCSI card and 4x512 OCZ6400.

Cleaned a little dust from around the intakes and removed one of the low 80mm fans (tower system). I then hooked-up a 120mm fan in the 5.25 drive bays to blow over the cpu. I've done this before with another box and was able to OC from 2.8Ghz to 3.6GHz. Blew the built-in lan adapter but she still humming away with a new one!

Not overclocking here but my temps have dropped now to 64C which I'm comfortable with. Though I'll probably look to make some improvements here in the near future.

Just thought I'd give a good ol' "back banging" to my fellow truckers...

:O)

Bummer, there were no points updated in the 9:00 hour. This means a double portion in the 12:00 update!

We will be over 700,000 points. Our daily updates now range between 24,000 and 33,000 points. As the average points per day goes up then we will know future production verses competitors.

Have you (or anyone)checked your logs for added wu's but no points? I am missing 2 cpu's on my stats. But, when I check the logs, they show completed wu's but no points.

Further to that, I read down the log and it shows a corrupted file. In, fact, on one box, it shows 3 wu's that were corrupted.

Another weird thing, on my fastest machine, I keep getting small wu's, I mean 8-12... 29-48 pointers in a row, then a 200 or so and it's had only 2 600's since the beginning. This box finished those 600's in 47, and 55 hours. I thought that was pretty dang fast. So, why all the small ones? It's not like they had early deadlines, none did.

Not complaining here. The only reason I started looking is I was shooting for 10k before I left out on the road this week. I'll have to shut down 2, as those are my "road" lappy's I take with me.

Just thought I'd share this curiosity with you. :)

:O)

Meanwhile our moonbat brothers and earth sisters are listed as NUMBER ONE of 49,000 teams in Daily Team Change.

They have risen from 1,999 to 1,914 place as a team. That's passing 86 other teams in just one day.

Way to go DU!

(Now back to our regular programming.)

I have seen that happen, but have no explanation for it other than "corrupt folding".

Maybe the diagnostic for determining corruption is too sensitive, or there is a possible memory conflict in your system.

Have no idea why new, fast systems keep getting small work units. I like 600 point folds. Maybe Stanford is reloading to get us some larger WU, or maybe they have decided that too many of the large WUs don't complete in time.

You can take your road lappys with you and keep them folding. Just buy the Verizon cellular modem so the WU can call back home.

Or you could stop every hour at a hot spot and let the laptops update. :')

Heh-Heh. I have 2 "aircards", 2 Printers, 1 of which is a multi-function unit, 2 cell phones, 4 cell accounts, gps for the lappys, a handheld Garmin gps, and a pocket pc phone.

Also, I have a 3500w pure sine wave inverter connected to a 10kw generator/apu with 14kw heat, a/c and a 40w battery charger.

When I'm otr, I let nothing come between me and earning a living, I protect my lappy at all costs! Hey, without my "commo" section, I could be stuck in BFE! :)

My normal freight is heavy construction equipment, military vehicles, oversize pipe, oil rigs, mining trucks, etc. I get into some real out of the way places sometimes.

:O)

P

I've been looking at their "star" performers. They have one, "conjur" that has been moving up fast with 7 cpu's. He'll be their # 1 guy today or tomorrow. He's currently at just under 9k in points. 1st and 2nd are neck and neck and 3rd place is 5000 points off of that. Which, basically, means that any of our members in our top 13 would be # 1 over there. 13 through 17 would make 2nd or so, and the rest would make it an avalanche.

That said though, they are gaining momentum, good on them for that.

:O)
