EllisD Posted May 14, 2008 Posted May 14, 2008 Wevss, to check the time per %, just look at the command window where the program is running. It should be keeping track of your progress through the WU (work unit). It will also have a timestamp at the beginning of every line (in UDT time, which is what stanford goes by for this project as i remember). You can simply find 2 lines where the % goes up, and see the difference between the time stamps to find your time per %. [EDIT] Wevss, do you have another machine folding for this team? With the regular console client? I ask because of the 1 WU you have worth 15 points. You will not get those with the SMP client. Just want to make sure everything is setup properly [/EDIT] Silverfox, I have had the download become corrupted at a few different points. I believe all thats needed is a redownload. After installing it, be sure to run "install.bat" to set it up (you Must have a windows account with an active username & password as well as administrator rights). After that, it should be golden.

Silverfox Posted May 14, 2008 Posted May 14, 2008 http://folding.stanford.edu/English/Download These not working for you? The 5.92 SMP client was the one that gave me issues. Better with 5.91? Otherwise, I don't see SMP on that main page for Windows. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
EllisD Posted May 14, 2008 Posted May 14, 2008 I think the 5.92 is simply an update for 5.91 where 5.91 Must be installed prior to 5.92. I stopped windows smp folding around the time that 5.92 came out, so i never bothered upgrading to it. I believe there is a link on the download page to a thread in their forums with instructions. I would just get 5.91 until they come out with a proper install for a newer version. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can pick up where I left off with my pathetic folding score better than nothing though. If I can help with PPD for the wonderful OCC, then all will be grand. I think it's about time we started to challenge for higher ranks. To all those guys at DIY who've decided to switch teams - that's a really big gesture I can guarantee you'll make a difference and it will/is (be) greatly appreciated by everyone here.

EllisD Posted May 14, 2008 Posted May 14, 2008 We were always struggling for folders over at the Street. We had our core ~10-12 with ~8 playing musical chairs Between everyone that has switched, once the stats even out, we should be good for ~13k PPD, maybe more if everyone sticks with it and more people roll in. Look forward to helping push this team higher and you will see a few of us in the top 20 producers for sure. I am swapping out my current Opty for one that does ~3ghz soon, so the extra 400mhz should help lower my times a bit, as well as i want to get a quad for my server. I hate waiting for paychecks, haha Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My main rig is running the 5.92 SMP client, and my other machine is running the 5.03 GUI client.

EllisD Posted May 14, 2008 Posted May 14, 2008 I havent done any windows smp folding in a while, and I really cant do a direct compare between our two processors because they are so drastically different, but I think that sounds about right. If i can get 16.5mins per % in 64bit linux, 22mins per % in windows seems alright. (i think i was getting close to 30mins per % with this Opty @ 2.6ghz) I wonder who else has a wolfdale that is smp folding in windows... What WU are you working on? If you open up the directory where you installed the program, there will be a "unitinfo.txt" file. Just post the line that has "Tag:" on it (eg.Tag: P3906R4194C0G8) Some of the newer SMP WU's really work the processor more than the good ole 2605's Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

EllisD Posted May 14, 2008 Posted May 14, 2008 Here is a page where you can check what projects are being run, their deadlines (preferred and final) as well as how many points they are worth. Project Summary Page I find the ones that are worth 1760points go pretty quick (they all use the a1 core i believe) but the ones that use the a2 cores (like a p2610, which are worth less points) work your machine like a dog and take a few hours more on average to complete.
