Going to try and bring this back, we all have comps that can run this in the background without sacrifice to our gaming, I can run 4 cores at high settings and not have it affect Eve at all, pvp, missioning, etc... donate some cpu or gpu cycles to a project that is worthwhile. There is a pitiful Eve Online team that only has 6 ppl doing research atm, lets bring that number up... read the site and imagine if we had all Eve players folding how many flops we could achieve! There are clients that run CPUs and GPUs, we all don't sit at our PC 24/7 there is at least an hour of DT everyday install it at low settings and you will never know its there. Sure it eats up a bit of electricity and puts a little wear on your system since it isn't idle but you were going to leave it on anyways weren't ya? :) Put some linkage in your profile and lets get viral in Eve to raise awareness, the beer truck and bunny seem to do pretty well that way :)

Very well, I'm in. Been running it anonymously for a while, but now I'm signed up with the team and ready to go!
And now that there's a GPU3 client I'll try that one as well, but since my GPU fan is noisy as hell it probably won't be running 24/7...

I am tempted, but will have to pass, as I am also on the SETI@home project on my computer.
Didn't the PS3 used to have a folding@home option? I think they changed it's name, but isn't it the same thing? If I can do it from there, I'll join up.

Yeah I don't run the ATI GPU client but they are constantly improving their clients so I check in on it from time to time, switched over from the service to systray clients recently think its required for newer OS's but makes managing multiple clients easier. Might try the SMP client again but last I checked it wasn't as efficient as installing and running multiple clients.

Running the SMP right now, seems to be on par with multiple clients. I think I'll go back to the latter method, not being able to throttle it down is a bit of a bummer, I don't want to run it at 100% when I'm actually using the computer (heat -> noise).
Sure, I can set the -smp [n] flag, but that kind of defeats the purpose doesn't it..? Seems better to run the normal clients on 2-3 cores and fire up the rest when I go afk.
Also, good thing I went for an nVidia card then, works like a charm (about 10 points per minute \o/ ) and runs very quietly if I throttle it down to 75% or so. If only they would hand out more packets... Maybe there's a problem, maybe the test projects are done and they're about to roll out some other projects. In either case, I need more work for my F@H e-peening!

In my experience (folding on a 5850 @ 3.7k ppd + E6750) it only uses about a quarter of a core, but that will depend on your processor and graphics driver - make sure you have the most recent driver, as it can make quite a difference. For most desktops, it's still much more efficient (in terms of ppd / watt) than folding with the CPU clients.

This client only really shines with rather expensive multicore i5 / i7 processors. If you do go down that route, a dedicated Xeon box can actually outperform the GPU client on most measures.

As a matter of fact I do have an i7; a 960. Kind of an insane purchase really, I'm not running anything else that comes close to maxing that thing. So f@h is a nice way of justifying getting it... 
I must admit that I haven't tested different f@h setups that extensively yet and you may be right that SMP is better than the others. Still, the difference doesn't seem to be that huge. I'll keep running it and see if the logs show anything. (see what I did there?)

am using latest drivers and an OC'd 4770 950/1000 + E4500 OC'd to 2.7ish :(
indeed it's still much faster than the cpu but i swear my old 8600GT did better that what i have now :P

Hah, except the GPU client can fold immensely faster, outpacing even the best 4 core processors. You'd be stupid not to. I'm not seeing anything over 20%~ CPU usage on one core when I run it.

All the client types are important and have their own specialty while the GPU and PS3 clients are faster than the CPU they are still an important part of the Folding project as they are much more flexible in the work they can perform. Appreciate the continued support we're up to 25 active folding cpus/gpus what have you :)

Although the latest GPU client does not perform as well on ATI cards as it does on Nvidia cards, it is fairly stable for most WUs.

Could be several reasons don't want to bog down Eve's forums focusing on a particular problem rather retain it for recruitment and bragging rights. The folding forums can be of great help and are pretty responsive... though more detailed info on your exact setup/client is necessary to troubleshoot. I never said this would be painless :) Give us some general info and we can point you in the right direction without a doubt and sometimes rare a WU is just bad though the client usually takes care of it and you still get credit.

Update 37 active and our team rank is now moving up when I started this rejuvenated campaign our team rank was iirc 1121 and now we have pushed up to 1104... good job guys keep those WU's coming in.
Just a reminder post a link to the forum thread in your bio or hit up your corp mates and lets add some more fresh blood err idle cycles rather to the cause, there could always be Corp sub-teams with multiple members reporting to a single member such as... all the members of Corp "Leet Noobs With Spankin Velators" using the same member name to compete within our global team. I appreciate all contributions and encourage one up manship and bragging rights, though I do not condone or support cherry picking of WU's or any action that would negatively impact the project.
Happy folding and keep up the good work.

Indeed I do, and the 960 doesn't have a chance to keep up, what with GPU work units being the way they are (611 points, takes about an hour to complete).
Still haven't bothered to compare the regular CPU client to SMP unfortunately and I'm currently out of town for a couple of days (which is why I'm racking up so many points now). Maybe when I get back I'll muster the strength to take a closer look at it. (yeah, right  )

Up to 42 active and team score is def on the move now at 1049.
Can't seem to get a gpu client despite my best efforts to run on my 5750 but the team leaders are showing some wicked results with the gpu client. Almost makes me want to shell out some dosh and build a dedicated folding mini-farm. If this interests you bit-tech.net has some good articles on it... though a bit dated will help you get started, recommend the folding forums for the most up to date configs.
Want to throw out the call to any available cpu or gpu cycles to join us and pump up our numbers... going to add the http://kakaostats.com/t.php?t=75407 to the original post if I can (not sure on the edit options for Eve Forums) that is an awesome breakdown for our team.
Want to thank everyone again for their contributions and help in keeping it going. Feel like we should set some goals maybe active participants, new recruits, what are you ideas... post em up.

Woot got the 5750 folding finally tricky but its working, it can't compete with the NVidia cards but it is putting out some nice ppd. Also got the SMP client up and going so far it is out performing multiple uni-processor clients though it required manual cpu affinity sets to keep it from interfering with the gpu. So alot has changed with the F@H clients since I last tinkered with them.
We are still making some good progress and looks like we are going to shoot past a ton of teams here in the next week and break the 1k barrier within two weeks, some may be idle or dead but rank is rank 
Forgot about the folding addiction and have been categorizing spare parts to see what kind of dedicated folder I can cobble together and spending way too much time on newegg looking at new kit.
Thanks again for the support. |

Looking for new recruits to join the fray and propel the team up in rank... of course its not just about rank it's about supporting a cause or a call however you look at it... donate your spare cpu/gpu cycles. Everyone with that latest Fermi kit you too can make a massive contrib with the new gpu client supporting your hardware still beta but massive point potential none the less.
Huge thanks to all the current supporters in keeping it alive.

Running the SMP client on my Phenom 965 (stock) I get about 1200ppd there is a bonus system that kicks in after 10 or so units... I think don't quote me on that :) I have the ATI gpu client running as well but it has been unable to get jobs consistently over the past week so I reverted my cpu affinity back to allow the smp to fold on all four cores, running gpu/smp had to limit it to 3 cores or it would stall the gpus progress. If I get a gpu unit I just drop it back to 3 but even on 3 cores I get around 700ppd. Sadly your lone vid card can outperform both my gpu/smp clients in ppd... maybe gpu3 for ati will drop soon 
Glad your on board and thanks for the help.
Edit --> according to Kakao you were the 2nd highest point producer in the last 24hr.

And there it is: 1000! \o/
Not sure where we'll level out with the teams ahead of us, but it seems to be a long way to go still.
Unfortunately I've decided to take a break, to say that it's hot enough as it is would be an understatement and I don't need my computer making it worse. Hopefully it'll cool down a bit soon... (and spare me the snarky comments about Swedish summer weather not being hot at all compared to Whereeveryouliveistan - it's well over 40 C hotter than it was six months ago and I honestly preferred that)
But rest assured Kazuo, I'm coming for you. First place will be mine!

Unfortunately I've decided to take a break, to say that it's hot enough as it is would be an understatement and I don't need my computer making it worse. Hopefully it'll cool down a bit soon... (and spare me the snarky comments about Swedish summer weather not being hot at all compared to Whereeveryouliveistan - it's well over 40 C hotter than it was six months ago and I honestly preferred that)
But rest assured Kazuo, I'm coming for you. First place will be mine!
Thanks for the help, will miss your folding power, but understand and look forward to seeing your return when the weather cools back down.

As defiler said there it is and went we broke the team rank of 1000 and are moving down into more populated teams, our rank is still moving and with your help we can keep up the progress.
Thanks to all the contributors who helped us make this milestone and to all those who still contribute, will contribute, has/is/going/wassn/hassn etc contribute to the team effort and the overall effort of Folding@Home.
Will set a new milestone soon want it to be an achievable goal but at the same time a challenge to the community.
Thanks again to everyone.

Due to laziness (and being at work), what client should I get with:
i7 920 & ATI HD5850 Toxic?
Also, how much bandwidth does this take? I'm in lol-stralia, where we still have monthly download limits. |

Just a quick question how do you guys get such high points per run. Are you using high end multipul gpu`s and cpu`s.Im only using my old nvida gt8800 oc card.It out performs my core duo e6750 cpu by loads.Ive tried the 2 cpu cores running but just crashes so i either run only the 1 core or just the gpu now.Any tips would be great..cheers

As far as I know you should go with the GPU2 client for your ATI card and the SMP for your i7, both of which are available here.
As for bandwidth, it looks like I need about 8+1 MiB per day for CPU+GPU when they run at 100% all day. You probably wont do that (neither do I) and hopefully that'll be within your bandwidth budget.

The gpu client does require cpu power though gpu3 less so but have read its not as good points wise for older cards. Running multiple clients cpu/gpu I have to set core affinity so my smp client gets cores 0-2 and the gpu client gets 3 I just set this from task manager if you close the client you'll have to reset it. If I don't set affinity all clients stall out, I use FahMon to see what the clients are up to and tweak settings as needed. The ppd from the cpu client is pitiful compared to the gpu but worthwhile imo... I run a Uniprocessor on an outdated machine that only nets 104ppd but from the explanation on the Folding sites and forums different clients do different things and all contributions are worthwhile.
This is my case running on AMD processors... defiler in the previous post apparently doesn't have an issue but the clients are optimized and run on intel based code so that likely could make a difference. The machine ID is important as defiler noted or the client will not start, outside of weirdness I don't see a reason you couldn't run a uniprocessor and gpu client at the same time.

New Milestone:
A thought on points... when I set out to revitalize the Eve-Online Folding Team it wasn't necessarily about having the best ranked team cranking out the most points it was more about raising awareness and putting to use the idle cpus and gpus of the community for a cause. Its easy to get caught up in the points, member rank, team rank etc but those are just by-products of contributing to the project. My goal is pretty simple I want to capture and retain as many members as possible for the greatest contribution possible; and the frequent updates to the thread regarding our rank is to encourage participation. There's something like 300k subs to Eve knocking out multi accounts that's still alot of people I'd like to reach and recruit. That's the idea behind distributed computing... its not about one computer or a couple its about lots and lots of computers doing something basically in their spare time. I wholly appreciate each and every contribution to our team whether it be a high end gup/smp folding farm moving ppd like they are going out of style or a uni doing his/her thing in the background un-noticed. Add enough of them together you get amazing results. Anyone contributing no matter the ppd or time line is helping the project and is invaluable.
So without further french words I present the new milestone for our team: become 60 active members strong.
There are lots of sub challenges that go on within the community to compete for points but I want to set a different bar and focus our efforts on active recruitment not short term gains. Feel free to discuss amongst yourselves, please do as the more discussion the more bumps our thread gets to stay at the top and attract more attention and more candidates
So my fellow folders your new challenge is not to eek every ppd out of your setup straining it to the limit but to basically recruit one new member to our team. In order to maintain the competitive nature of the milestone and help our bumpage new recruits of our team need to post here and give credit to their recruiter.
Note to ppd eekers... keep it up not discounting your contributions and in fact love to watch our team rank flourish but don't take it on solo, recruit us a new member to push us higher |

Friend? Not to me he bloody isn't! He's a competitor as far as I'm concerned and unless I pick up the pace I'll fall far, far behind.

Sorry been away for awhile and haven't had a chance to post.
Our team has grown in my absence, welcome aboard to all the new members and thanks to the continued dedication of our current members. Like to congratulate Kazuo, to my best knowledge our oldest active member, for breaking 1 million points nice milestone of dedication.
Currently our team is ranked 856th, moved up quite a ways thanks again to everyone and keep up the good work.

Work is keeping me from my primary addiction and looks like its going to keep me that way for sometime. Team has atrophied a little but we are developing a pretty strong core of folders. Appreciation for each and every folder on board with the team. Will check in as time permits but in my absence happy folding.
Thanks again to everyone involved.

Hrmm.. ok the team seems to be in not so much of an atrophy rather possibly hemorrhaging from main arteries.. still have our core folders and many many thanks goes out to each and every one of them... but think we may need to go on a harvest soon and find some fresh blood. Pulled in several for the cause not all decided to stick with the program but that's the norm unfortunately... feel like if we can get a large enough low impact group going we would be better off than pulling in some high ppd ringers for a few days/weeks. Goes back to my whole now edited post of large numbers with low ppd being more beneficial over a few high ppd pikers.. alas the folding team will continue on would just like to see us with a higher number of consistent folders semi-regardless of ppd.
Thanks for all the support thus far and in the future.

With only my GPUv3 client going strong. SMP client seems to be running extra slow though. When it runs...

I'll be setting up my computer at home (dual Xeon 3.4 Ghz FTW) with 4 clients tonight. Right now its just one client.
I have some work done before. Don't know if it'll transfer over to the team since it was just anonymous and not assigned to a team before.

I run into this quite a bit running the two clients, you can use cpu affinity sets to limit the gpu client to a single core and the smp client to remaining cores though affinity is dynamic and will eventually revert back to all cores for each, restarting the smp as well tends to speed it up when running in conjunction with the gpu after awhile it just seems to get bogged down. I haven't read through the folding forums lately to see if there is a better workaround though I'm pretty sure you can force cpu affinity through shortcut switches or there are programs that will maintain affinity. Haven't really had time to investigate this atm and just use logmein to check on things remotely and adjust/restart as needed.

Sometimes wu's will transfer most of the time they don't not sure how that is determined. You might try out the smp client as it awards bonus points and your setup would likely let you run bigadv wu's (think min is 8 cores but assume you have hyperthreading with the xeons) that are worth even more. You get the bonus iirc for every 10 wu's you turn in. Might poke around the folding forums for the best client setup for your machine.

It's better than having people take part who have no idea of the main disadvantages - i.e. increased power bills, heat, noise, CPU/GPU wear, and some degree of GPU hogging (the GPU client is supposed to yield to other apps, but this process doesn't always work too well). Folding has costs, just like everything else, and if people consider them before plunging in, there's less potential for tears further down the line.
All contributions are welcome, even if people eventually decide it's not for them.

Hmm prolly going to have to pull one of my 470s off line for awhile and ship that badboy back to EVGA getting pretty unreliable, at first it would just hit thermal limit throttle and quit a unit, but now its being naughty and corrupting the WU's. Will see going to pull it out after work and check if it just needs a good cleaning, might pop an additional fan down next to it to try and keep the pcb cooler improve airflow whatnot.
Welcome aboard Bhurakstar¡killer got your ingame message but with work and civcrack V being out I'm absent alot atm :D
