I missed this...what happened to Live_Free_Or_Die_77? It looks like you were greeting him as a new member, but then his posts at 203 & 204 were pulled. Troll?
Thanks!
http://folding.stanford.edu/download.html
It works very well on a Mac. The download is towards the bottom of this page.
Enter a screen name (usually the same as the FR screen name), team 36120 and away you go. Let the program run for an hour and it will self-benchmark.
Thank you! I'm going to the link, downloading the program, and joining the FR Team!!!
Troll would be my guess, but they didn't reveal it on this thread.
You're a chick? Whoa, good thing I didn't reveal the secret hand-shake or something.
I started folding yesterday, but my first work unit won't be done probably for several days. Some questions:
1. Whacky question--any way I can get this thing to run on an Amiga??
2. Does the program need to have internet access all the time, or can I have it offline while it's working on work units?
Amiga - don't know. Probably only with an emulator.
As to internet access, keep it online for a few days if possible, just to benchmark and get on the list. I have laptops folding that don't get on the internet very often and I have switched them all to a console version that uploads in batches.
One of my laptops started processing work units slower.
Looking at the hidden processes running after a restart shows FahCore_82.exe running and I have not yet launched the client. CPU usage 98%
Launching the client the console opens and starts processing ...
Looking at the hidden stuff again shows 2 Cores running @ 49%
I'm thinking of trashing one of them but hate to loose the WU.
Any thots? Running XP
I know! WU hooo! Working on #2!
Yea! Top 50!
Thanks Tex, for pinging your list to the Beer Trap thread.
Is one of the two processes the GUI version and one the console version? The instructions warn against that.
Or do you have two copies of the console version running in different directories?
If it's the latter case, I'd just let it run until it finshed a work unit and then trash the one that finished first.
Hey, I think I've already mailed you on this, but wouldn't it be cool if you got all the ping list keepers to let their contacts know about this.
Just a thought!
only console no GUI
I have deleted everything I could find and started from scratch several times - it would not let go .. maybe this last time I did it right cause it's back to processing one WU @ 97%
Thanks
I'm not an expert...but it sounds like you have FAH setup to run as a service, so it starts on system start-up. When you launch the console manually you are running it a second time. If you only have one FAH program and folder, you are working on the same WU twice, at about half speed. I can't imagine this is a good thing.
If you run the console as a service you don't have to (shouldn't) launch the progarm manually. To check the status of the program, look at the FAHlog file or UnitInfo file. The log file contains all of the text you usually see in the console window.
I will start a new thread shortly, once I update the ping list
