In my opinion, the ideal processor to support GPU folding is either one which can no longer fold productively on modern WUs like a sub 1Ghz Intel/AMD or the virtual processor on a processor with hyperthreading.
Not really F@H related, but its a form of distributed/clustered computing anyway. Astrophysicist Replaces Supercomputer with Eight PlayStation 3s http://www.wired.com/techbiz/it/news/2007/10/ps3_supercomputer I think he overpaid, if he'd waited a few months he could've gotten it down to 399 per PS3 ...
Edit : Confounded forum moderators at the folding forums deleted the next post after the one I linked, and it had better information. These are the same people who never answered my questions about 2510 points I never got credit for, even when they "replied" to my posts. They can be very ...
FAHinfo has limited and quite wrong data I believe. My 3600x2 2x512 is running the exact times as my E6300 so wheres the advantage? I am producing more with 2610's than they say a 2605 will produce on a 3600x2 so I am convinced they are just complete FUD (to put it nicely). of course I will have tw...
Is that the Skewed reality you affliced Intel fan boys want to live in, or do you have some Real data? And don't point to some digital rag benchmarks using ddgromacs, gromacs, tinkers... this is SMP. We're no fanboys in the PS3/Xbox kind of way. We fold on what is best for the job at the time. I ad...
Wikia, the company behind Wikipedia, has purchased the Grub search engine off looksmart. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grub_(search_engine) http://www.reuters.com/article/internetNews/idUSN272470320070727?feedType=RSS It looks like a distributed project where spare CPU time is used to index webpages....
Any way to tell how many PPD it gives you? About 30ppd on olderr WUs according to FAHinfo http://fahinfo.org/index.php?allscores=true&new=false&searchid=All,All,All,Pentium%20III,All,All&offset=1&sort=pna Warning, these results for P3's are old, the WUs these days slow my PIV 2.4 CP...
ok, well is there a way to verify that it does have my name in it? a quick way to get to the questions it first asks you? Open the file FAHlog.txt, at the top will be your username and team, I think the GUI client might have the same file as well, it should be in the same directory as the other FAH...
Try http://fahinfo.org, there is several days of results from different cores and WUs there. Oh, and TR allows HTML sigs, so don't use BBcode. Heres mine: <a href="http://folding.extremeoverclocking.com/user_summary.php?s=&u=194808" target="_blank"> <img src="http://fold...
Just to update. Mine finally went through. I used the -configonly command and turned off the "Set to IE settings." The packets went through without a hitch. Maybe that will help. Yeah that setting does NOT work with IE7 and Pandre are too lazy to take it out 6months after IE7's release an...

Overclocking or even running 100% at stock leads to Electromigration, which is why the old Celeron 300A chips used to quit after 3 or 4 years of running. Now GPU folders are finding that 1950pros at 3D Clocks tend to quit after a while too. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromigration http://www.tw...
i recently moved and rebuilt my farm, so i'm going to have to take my name out of the "contenders" hat - these 10 hours of downtime have ruined my chances at getting ahold of that hardware you guys are betting with. ;) Dude, pass liquid_mage before thinking about joining the big leagues.
And BenWang, how do I go about firewalling the harder WUs away from my Celerons, they are both just setup with the standard Win XP 32 client on default settings. Whenever I look at them they are usually doing GROMACS. Download and install FAHmon on your systems, see which WUs your systems have trou...
This second list will be an update to one of my Celery econoboxes that will be re-using the case, PSU, IDE HDDs, optical drives, and other accesories. This comp will only have a single 17" LCD, not the duals like up above. https://secure.newegg.com/NewVersion/Wishlist/MySavedWishDetail.asp?ID=...
my recollection is that I was getting about 600-800 PPD from it. But man, it makes my comp room hot!! Could you check the clocks your 1950pro runs at on 3D speeds? I get about 400ppd max on mine according to FAHmon and I feel like screaming at it. My gut tells me its something to do with one of the...
psch - since i took down the X1950Pro, my points fluctuate w/ the SMP WUs. you're at 1.3 years, now. :P I must say, those GPU folders are great for keeping up the daily submission in-between the time in takes for normal and SMP clients to complet WUs. The only better would be a PS3. PS. etjie, what...
As bad as it would be for Team PPD, might I suggest you guys just go back to running 2x normal clients on dual core machine. I mean, if it reaches the point where folding is more stress than its worth than you face two choices, either scale it down or quit. Given the options and both your contributi...
Well, here in Asia we can still pick up some new SocketA boards if we hunt hard enough. Even if you could buy one in your part of the world, it would probably cost as much as a 775 Asrock board and even a new celeron would fold the pants of that Duron. Probably time to retire that old girl then. Unl...
