Official TBCS Folding Team

[x88x]

Damn, I was really enjoying my stay at the top. :P

OOC, how long has it taken you to get that one WU?

[diluzio91]

3 days. lol... at 20k ppd, so about 60k... i just hope i can actually get the upload done in time to get the bonus, ill be working smp for the weekend tho, that way i can game

[Technochicken]

Looks like that massive WU put us over 5 million:

http://fah-web.stanford.edu/awards/tcert.php?u=191053&pts=5025035

[x88x]

w00tz! And it pushed us past 1100! :banana:

Let the game of leapfrog begin. ;) You passed me with a bigadv, then I pass you while you work on the next one, and so on. :P I'm still not sure which one of us will hit 1,000,000 first though. I think it largely depends on how much you game this weekend when you switch back to normal smp. ;)

[AmEv]

Wootz!!!!!!!!!1!


Break out the... uh..... cream soda!!!!!!!

[diluzio91]

lol... idk if you;ll catch me that easily though... my non bigadv clients were kind of keeping up with yours... we'll see though. lol... after summer i'm gonna have to retire though. so i'll take the points i can get

[AmEv]

Diluzo looks like he'll be first personal million getter........

[Fuganater]

Someone explain the bigadv please.

[slaveofconvention]

Bigadv are BIG work units - a serious machine, like i7 running overclocked around 4ghz will get through a single WU in 2-3 DAYS - an i5 won't cut it as it doesn't have the hyperthreading needed to provide enough process threads to finish the job within the deadline

[Technochicken]

I just upgraded my iMac from a 1.83 Ghz Core Duo to a 2.0 Ghz Core 2 Duo, which gave it a 500 PPD increase. Surprising increase for less than 200 Mhz speed bump and a slight architecture change.

[Collinstheclown]

My current WU says it's 2,000,000 steps. Is that alot? It took like 11hrs. to get to 50%. I chose normal when I was setting it up.

I'm running FAH 6.34 SMP 32-bit. Is that the latest? Is there a 64bit flavor?

[diluzio91]

Someone explain the bigadv please.

They are also Huge uploads, and are pretty time sensitive, with the net connection you have you might not get the file to the server on time, so try it in 1 unit mode before you start running them, also, they need 3 days of Continuous work. and the due date is usually just in time for an i7@3.6 to make it. ymmv

For a dual core thats pretty normal, the cpu client is on the slower side, it takes my i7 about 6 hours @3.8, and my p2x4 about 8-12, so for a dual core i would expect about a day per wu.

[Collinstheclown]

I have a quad core @ 2.8

[diluzio91]

hrm... thats strange then... screen shot? are you using gpu tracker? or the Standford client.

[x88x]

Diluzo looks like he'll be first personal million getter........
I think you're probably right. :( That bigadv unit really put him over. I'll probably hit 1,000,000 about 1 day later.

[pcclan]

hmm why cannot i get FAH GPU Tracker V2 to use -bigadv

[diluzio91]

you need 8 or more threads at your disposal...

[x88x]

you need 8 or more threads at your disposal...

That's bullcrap, imo. Discriminating against AMD. :P

[diluzio91]

not if you have a dual socket board, the big adv wu's actually need that many cores to get finished by the deadline.
the i7's get in through a loop hole.

[x88x]

lol, I know. I just like complaining about it. :P

[x88x]

Heheh, so at some point fairly soon I'll be adding an 8800GTS to my pool. Should be good for another 5-6k. :twisted: IDK which machine it'll be in though...I should probably figure that out...really, it largely depends on whether my 8800GTX full-coverage waterblock fits it or not.

[slaveofconvention]

I just noticed, we're only 2 weeks from passing modders-inc's folding team - and they've been going since before 2008....
Anyone noticed any other teams we're gaining on quickly where we actually know/know of the people we're catching?

[Cale_Hagan]

i would enter, but im related to staff. so im gaming instead. it would kill my fps with bigadv, even though it would own.

[slaveofconvention]

It's official... I'm a moron lol

I've been wondering how the hell my ppd is still hovering around 10k when the i7 system I built for a customer has been on 24/7 for 4 days getting 27k - well it's because I had the damned team number wrong lol - I've been pouring all those points into team 191035 instead of our team - 053

Mystery solved - now just to see how many points I've thrown away when the stanford page comes out of update mode lol

EDIT: Idn if there's even a team on there - but I must have thrown a good 100k at them lol

SECOND EDIT: In light of recent events, I've formally changed my title (look under my post count!!)

THIRD EDIT: 106931 points thrown away lol - well not really - they count towards folding at home overall so that's not a total waste - but TBCS isn't benefitting unfortunately - and yes - I now changed the settings heh - http://fah-web.stanford.edu/cgi-bin/main.py?qtype=teampage&teamnum=191035

[AmEv]

Love it.

Win.

[x88x]

i would enter, but im related to staff. so im gaming instead.
Bah, that's no excuse. :P Just don't run big-adv and stop the clients while you're gaming.

[slaveofconvention]

Here's the thing Cale - IF you AREN'T disqualified, you're wasting time and points lol.

I'm going to speak to the higher-ups about this - several of us have actually met you in person so we can be fairly certain that you aren't a fantasy figure made up by a staff member to get around the no-staff-entry rule. At the same time, you WERE our official Roadie in Vegas so you MIGHT just be staff lol.

I'll speak to CJ and OvRiDe as soon as I get the chance and let you know if you're eligible or not.

[slaveofconvention]

http://www.thebestcasescenario.com/slaveofconvention/imagestore/moron.JPG

DOH!!!!!!!!!

[pcclan]

woot thanks to the mix up i was able to pass you :)

[msmrx57]

It's official... I'm a moron lol

Well admitting you have a problem IS the first step......spacespace:lick:spacespace runs giggling.

[x88x]

..well, it looks like you beat me there, diluzio. :( Oh well, congrats.

[diluzio91]

dont wrry about it, i swapped the team number, its 191053, not 151093...
http://fah-web.stanford.edu/cgi-bin/main.py?qtype=teampage&teamnum=151093

Also, i didnt even realize i passed the 1000000 mark. lol

[AmEv]

Wootz! We're in the triple digits!

And we have our first personal million member, diluzio91 (http://fah-web.stanford.edu/awards/cached-certs/cert.diluzio91.1020500.jpg)!

Yeah but you blew 993 points, not 100k plus heh

[slaveofconvention]

A huge congrats to diluzio91 for being the first member of the official TBCS folding team to get a total of 1,000,000 points for the team :banana:


http://www.thebestcasescenario.com/slaveofconvention/images/folding/dil1m.jpg

[diluzio91]

lol... theres about 12 k on another tbcs team... anywho, its just points, no big deal, it still goes towards the same cause, another gongrats to x88x for being the 2nd to hit 1000000

[x88x]

Heheh, 2-fer! :D
http://i428.photobucket.com/albums/qq3/x13931x/wuNpts.png

[x88x]

Heheh, so I was poking around the EOC site, and discovered that we reached another milestone. 94th in 24-hr average! :banana:

[NightrainSrt4]

Woot, I just saw we broke into the top 1000 teams. Moving on up quickly.

[diluzio91]

trace dropped off last night, whats wrong?

[pcclan]

http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g135/cheryl_hot/wtf.png
wtf... i think this is wrong

[diluzio91]

lol. sometimes you pull a really easy work unit. makes you feel good dosnt it?

[slaveofconvention]

Well strike 20k+ ppd from me lol - delivered the i7 system to the customer tonight - back to 10-12 a day now heh

I love the fact that, to date, I've still never seen ANY team actually threatening to overtake us - that will change once we get up into our rightful place in the standings based on production, but it's sweet when you see "threats" and nothing in there heh

[NightrainSrt4]

I should break 100k points sometime during the night/early morning. Woot!

[AmEv]

Took long enough! (http://fah-web.stanford.edu/awards/cached-certs/cert.AmEv.10.jpg)

[mDust]

I should break 100k points sometime during the night/early morning. Woot!


Took long enough!
Congrats to both of you, and anyone else reaching milestones. Folding certainly isn't for the impatient.

[NightrainSrt4]

99971 points, lol. The GTX280 will be done with another unit in a few minutes so that should push it over the edge.

Though right now it must be working on a hard unit as its ppd is cut in half. So maybe a couple more minutes on top of that.

[slaveofconvention]

It's been said before, and I'll say it again - every point, and every workunit counts - so don't think "only" 10 WU's isn't worth celebrating - it's a milestone and they're 10 workunits that F@H needed done so it's definitely all good :D

[x88x]

I was talking about folding with a friend yesterday, and he brought up an interesting point. If anyone ever hacks the F@H, BOINC, etc servers, they would have one of the largest, most powerful botnets in existence....and most people probably would never know the difference..

It hasn't been proven a myth, it's just been proven to possibly be very stealthy in its mission to eradicate us so far. Or maybe it BSODed...or someone tripped over the power cord...or perhaps it's just perfectly content with letting us destroy ourselves first...or maybe it turned out to be a completely benevolent AI and sends war machines out to pick bouquets of flowers...:D


It was supposed to be sarcastically in allcaps. All caps is yelling, not sarcasm. The internet can do anything!..except positively convey sarcasm. I guess everything has to have its Achilles heel.

[Fuganater]

Why is it that laptops have a hard time folding? I just got my new laptop with a 555M 3Gb GPU and it only did 1 WU last night...

[AmEv]

Energy saving and low heat output.

[slaveofconvention]

My folding is heading for an all time low. Not only did I deliver that 2600k system to a client, every WU my Radeon 4870 has picked up in the last 24 hours has failed with an unstable machine error (despite the card NOT overheating or having any problems driving my main display) and every WU the Nvidia GTS250 has tried has sat at 0% - all I'm getting at the moment are a few k per day from my Q6700 CPU

[slaveofconvention]

Actually, it occurs to me that everything went to hell since I installed 7 SP1 - wonder if that's the problem....

[slaveofconvention]

So my PC is just point-blank refusing to fold on either GPU. The Radeon keeps coming up with an unstable machine error before it even starts - so it definitely isn't an overheating issue. I ran the ATI overclock setup and it managed to overclock my GPU and run tests for nearly 30 mins, and there are ZERO issues with my display so I'm all but certain there's nothing wrong with the card. The nVidia on GPU3 won't start - I've tried with the GPU tracker (sits at 0% forever) and the standalone (tells me its going to sleep) so I'm stumped.

3k ppd for me for the forseeable - I'm not uninstalling SP1 (yet) as that seems to have been the start of all the problems.

[x88x]

Weird. I saw similar problem on my secondary system, but only when a Remote Desktop session was active.

[slaveofconvention]

The remote desktop thing is easily explained (if you're interested) - Windows uses a virtual video device driver for remote desktop connections and disables the current video adapter for the duration of the RDP session - technically, for the length of your RDP session, there IS no Folding capable GPU installed (software wise) in your system.

I wish I knew so specifically what the problem was here tho lol but that's usually the way of things - when someone else has a problem, I can solve it - but when I have one myself, it'll be a PITA.

Having said that, that's probably a psychological thing though - when I come across a minor fixable issue on one of my systems, I just fix it and dont think about it - its the ones that are a pain which stick in my mind.

[slaveofconvention]

pcclan - you appear to have a duplicate folding account lol - you have a new entry in our results under pccla_n

[pcclan]

damn it..... i think i fixed it

[985323]

lol Pc, you know just because you've got duplicate folding accounts doesn't give you more of a chance at winning the prize :)

[pcclan]

lol Pc, you know just because you've got duplicate folding accounts doesn't give you more of a chance at winning the prize :)
... i kinda screwed up when i was entering my name in to my brothers computer which is running a gtx 570 for me and getting 14,000 ppd

[slaveofconvention]

Don't be too worried - there have only been 2 workunits for a total of 2696 points so if you got it set up right now, you haven't lost much :)

[billygoat333]

Why is it that laptops have a hard time folding? I just got my new laptop with a 555M 3Gb GPU and it only did 1 WU last night...

honestly, I am getting about 2500 ppd (according to my gpu tracker) on my 4870 1gb and about 1600 ppd (again, according to my tracker on my system) on my intel c2d t6500 laptop, haha. my x2 4200+ was getting around 500-750 ppd. yeah... my laptop is doing just fine considering what I am folding with. haha

[slaveofconvention]

OK so after a couple days fighting with this I KINDA got it working again. My 4870 is back and behaving normally, knocking out between 1200 and 2200ppd - the GTS450 however isn't being as good - it flatly refuses to run GPU3 WUs and is currently producing in GPU2 mode at a lower rate than the ATI (around 1100ppd) and the CPU is chugging along in SMP mode but it seems to be going VERY slowly about it but that may be down to me doing a stack of stuff on the PC at the moment. I guess tonights overnights will make a little more sense....

Scrap that - still having more probs lol - the CPU SMP folding has now died a death so I'm getting a TOTAL of about 3500ppd from both Video cards running 24/7. At this point I'm thinking about putting the GTS250 into my sons PC when I do a case review this week and just running that for a bit - at least I SHOULD be able to get back to the 8k ppd from that card....

[Fuganater]

Anyone folding on their PS3? I was just reading about it and it seems like an easy way to get some WUs done.

[Fuganater]

OMFG
http://folding.extremeoverclocking.com/chimp_challenge_2010.php
Over 9 mil 24 hr avg....

[NightrainSrt4]

I had done folding on my ps3 for a little bit one night. But it only seemed like it was going to pull ~600-900ppd so I haven't done it since. Didn't seem like it was good ppd/watt at least compared to how many points my rig was pulling down.

[SXRguyinMA]

my GPU fails if it's folding and I watch a youtube vid or something. I just stop the gpu, watch the vid and restart lol

[SXRguyinMA]

[Fuganater]

I saw a build on some site when i was looking for something.. (haha thats so ambugious) but he said he can produce 175k PPD with Quad SLI Copper something... 580's?

[AmEv]

So, anyone have any x16 cards collecting dust?

My brother's HP is running onboard graphics, and I think it also would help me crunch folding numbers.

[mDust]

That's what 890 active team members will do for ya lol

EGVApes is a user, not a team. S/he is racking up nearly as many PPD as the rest of those 889 members combined.

[x88x]

EGVApes is a user, not a team. S/he is racking up nearly as many PPD as the rest of those 889 members combined.

I'm wondering if EVGApes might actually be EVGA. Kinda like some universities fold on all their computer lab machines, maybe EVGA folds on all their workstations.

[mDust]

I'm wondering if EVGApes might actually be EVGA. Kinda like some universities fold on all their computer lab machines, maybe EVGA folds on all their workstations.

Could be. The team name is Folding@EVGA. Maybe one of the users is the company and a bunch of random people saw something on their website and joined them?

[x88x]

Could be. The team name is Folding@EVGA. Maybe one of the users is the company and a bunch of random people saw something on their website and joined them?

Sounds reasonable to me.

[slaveofconvention]

BAH! Well I'm beat - I put the GTS 250 into my sons pc, a dual core Athlon 5000+ with 4GB Ram and 7 Ultimate 32bit - this machine is pre-sp1 and pre-IE9 (two changes I made to my PC just before all the problems started) and it is having the same problems - using the GPU Tracker, fails to start the Core, and the standalone GPU3 software just keeps running test proteins.

*bangs head on desk*

[NightrainSrt4]

You try just using the GPU2 client? From what I read people seem to be recommending GPU2 for Geforce 8. 9. 200 series, GPU3 for Geforce 400 / 500 series.

GPU Tracker chose GPU2 for both my GTX280 and 8800GTS fwiw.

[slaveofconvention]

It works with gpu2 but something must have changed recently. The card was doing 8k ppd on gpu3. 2 and it barely gets 2k ppd

[x88x]

It works with gpu2 but something must have changed recently. The card was doing 8k ppd on gpu3. 2 and it barely gets 2k ppd

That is odd. I tried all of my cards (260's and 250's) on both GPU2 and GPU3 and didn't get any noticeably different ppd. Only difference was that the GPU3 client used more CPU cycles. :P

[Fuganater]

So I can't get the GPU tracker to work for anything. I can't download the 3 clients at once. Only 2 at a time ever start, never the 3rd. Any advice?

[slaveofconvention]

aaaaaaaand we got another one not paying attention when putting in details (just like I did lol)

msmrx57 and msmrx577 are both listed in our team - you won't get two lots of competition entries lol....

[msmrx57]

[mDust]

Change settings until it works!

So 1 cpu/smp and 2 gpu clients is what you're trying to run? Which ones are running and which isn't? What cards are you running? Are they in sli/xfire?

[Fuganater]

[diluzio91]

i'll probably be offline for 2 days or so... x88x, you'll probably catch me. lol

[AmEv]

I'm offline right now, figuring out where my bad partitions are on my laptop's hard drive.

Currently, they seem to be between GBs 2-5.

Not much, but still an annoyance grrrrr........


Hey, I still have plenty of space on my lappy!



However, I've had bad luck with Linux f@h; I did 2 WUs that were NEVER attached to my name!

[Technochicken]

Okay guys, we finally have a competitor. AUfolding will catch up with us in 9.6 months.

[slaveofconvention]

I think it'll be a LOT sooner than that - our "average" is still climbing but our actual output has levelled off - I imagine in a day or so they'll be a lot closer than 9 months away. Course, that assumes we don't pick up any new folders along the way or get some of our high producers back up and running....

As for catching others - look out Modders-inc heh - this is what they see when they look at their team summary....

http://www.thebestcasescenario.com/slaveofconvention/images/folding/moddersinc.png

[x88x]

I looked up that team on the F@H site, and...there's only one member...
http://fah-web.stanford.edu/cgi-bin/main.py?qtype=teampage&teamnum=204949

Looking at the stats for the 'team', I'm thinking this is another case of a company or university running on all their systems.

[AmEv]

I see 2....

[x88x]

Well, from the names, I'm assuming one is a typo. :P

[AmEv]

two-che.

[diluzio91]

bad news on the high producer front... my stepdad has expressly forbid me from folding while im here... and i cant afford the power bill when i move to my apartment. im afraid that you're losing about 50k PPD from me... gl guys!

[x88x]

Ouch! Yeah, I noticed my power bill went up about $50 for the last month that I've been folding... :hurt: Oh well, as hobbies go, it's not that expensive. :P

[diluzio91]

the campus was footing the bill before. lol

If i could get my friends running their rigs too though... that would be epic

2x i7 @ 4.0
1x i7 @4.2 (6core)
1 p2x4 @ 4.0
1x 560
2x 570
1x 580

[mDust]

I can't even download the clients dude... All 3 have to download or it fails.

Huh. I've never had them fail before but I think Oneslowz28 or someone else did. I'm not sure how to get around that. This (http://fahtracker.forumotion.com/t147-unable-to-download-clients) is all I could find that was relevant. You might just have to wait for the workaround or for the links to be fixed again. You can fold manually until you can get the tracker to work though.


As for power bills, I've not shut my computer off other than for updates that required a restart in about 2 months now. It's folding when I'm not gaming and has only cost about $30 so far.

[Fuganater]

I got Project: Rage put together last night! I'll finish installing drivers and get folding ASAP. i7 2600k and 2x 260's should do pretty good.

[Fuganater]

Finally some real stats!! 23.3k PPD

[x88x]

Sounds about right. Good to have you putting out some good numbers. :D

[RogueOpportunist]

So I "think" I've started getting myself setup to be part of the team, not really sure what I'm doing though as I've never set this up before, as far as I can tell I'v got the CPU folding all running fine but GPU folding doesn't look like it's gonna wanna "jive" with my 5670's.

Anyone got any ideas of how I could get my 2 ATI cards to work? Not sure how much of a difference they will make but I assume it's like having 2 more cores running.

I'm using V6 GPU2 and it just starts up, gives me the video hardware error message and shuts down.

[slaveofconvention]

I suggest you try the FAH GPU tracker v2 if you're new to this - it makes setting custom flags much easier - you may need to use the R800 forced GPU to make it work - and if the cards are set up in crossfire, you're out of luck (I think) unless you're willing to un-crossfire them - my 4870 gets about 2500ppd so it isnt huge but every point helps - from what I read, you may see as much as 3500ppd from each card...

Good luck

[RogueOpportunist]

I suggest you try the FAH GPU tracker v2 if you're new to this - it makes setting custom flags much easier

Is that the same as the GPU2 version? Or you talking about something different? I just went with the GPU2 version because that's the one the site said "sorta" worked with ATI cards... I can't set anything in it though, the program doesn't let me get into any options, it just shuts down.

[x88x]

No, it's different. The GPU Tracker is a management thing for managing CPU/SMP and up to 8 GPUs.
http://fahtracker.com/

[RogueOpportunist]

Ohhhh, I see... Shouldn't have told me x88x... Now I'mma coming to gobble up all your protein while you're on the throne...



... Wait... I mean... Uhhh... :facepalm:

[RogueOpportunist]

O.k. so everything is running but something doesn't look right, My "gaming" desktop is a C2D E8400 that is running at 4ghz, the video card is a GTX 460 Fermi Hawk running at 900mhz... That system is putting out 3,4k PPD SMP and 10.9k PPD GPU... My 2 other systems are identical and running AMD Athlon II X4 600E's at 2.2ghz with R5670-PD512 video cards, they get 2.4k SMP and only like 600 PPD GPU?

The C2D is clocked almost twice as fast as the Athlon's but having a dual-core put out 1k more PPD than a Quad doesn't seem right... Then there's the video cards, I can understand the 460 doing what it is doing but the 5670's only doing 600 PPD seems off?

Does this stuff need to run for a few days before the PPD values are "accurate" or do I have something running wrong? I disabled the GPU3 boxes for both the ATI cards but it didn't seem to make much of a difference, also the ATI cards are barely breaking 40% GPU usage... Any ideas? Or should I just let it go as is?

[diluzio91]

to answer your question.

the nvidia client uses almost nothing from the cpu, while the ati client relies heavily on the gpu to assist it. turn off gpu folding on your 5670's and your cpu ppd will shoot up. experiment to find the best combo.

Make sure you set the the ATI cards to the right 'Force GPU Selection' option in the configuration options. 5670's should be R800; if that still shows really low numbers, try forcing to R700. The GPU clients don't work anywhere near as well on ATI cards as they do on nVidia cards, unfortunately, but 600 does seem really low. I think 5670's should put out at least a few thousand....maybe? I haven't run it on any ATI cards myself, so I'm going off rumors and hearsay. ;)

As for the CPUs, the C2D E8400 was a high-end dual-core CPU for its family, but the Athlon II X4 600E was a low-end quad-core during the same time period. The E8400 has three times the cache (four times the cache per core) and you have it running at almost twice the clock speed. I'm not surprised at all that it outperforms the 600E.

[x88x]

Wow, I forgot how hot air-cooled GPUs get. :eek: I couldn't fit my new 8800GTS (640) in my secondary system, it it's in my main system, tucked in between my two liquid-cooled GTX260's...and it is a full 30C hotter than both of them! I do not like having something in my case that is more than 50C...much less more than 80C! :eek: At some point I'm going to pull it apart and see if my 8800GTX full-coverage block will fit it. If not, I think I might be picking up a universal GPU block.

As it turns out, some of my software is not so happy with GPUs that aren't hooked up to a monitor...so now I'm running three monitors, each on a separate GPU. :P (Yeah, only three. :( One of my 225BW's died again a few weeks ago. :( ) Right now it's only showing another ~3300ppd, but I'm thinking it should put out a bit more than that. Also, if I play my cards right I might be able to trade this card with a friend for a GTS250...we shall see...we shall see...

[RogueOpportunist]

Yeah, I guess I'll just have to play around with this, I know I could OC the X4's to get more out of them but that kinda defeats the purpose of buying 45w X4's to begin with... Ironically enough though the C2D is up to 4k PPD after running overnight while the X4's are sitting at about 2.5k... Still seems a little strange to me.

As far as the GPU's go I'm thinking there is nothing I can really do, turning the GPU's off entirely is making a difference though, I haven't had it running long enough to see if there is an improvement in running CPU only but so far the CPU running alone is almost matching the other system with both running.

The more I look at it and the more I read the less I'm inclined to believe that 5670's aren't capable of churning out some half decent numbers, for the PPD to be so low there must be something wrong, I'm guessing I'll have to wait for a revision in ATI support before I see them perform since any changes I make to the GPU settings only ever translate into a 100 point difference at most... Also the GPU usage seems really low, most of the time it bounces around the 30-40% range which leads me to believe the client isn't making proper use of the GPU.



Just a little update, I tried using R600 with GPU3 disabled and my GPU usage is now up to a solid 95%... A definite improvement on usage, will have to wait and see what that translates into in terms of PPD, either way TBCS has another 20k PPD. :banana:

[x88x]

On the X4 systems running GPU clients as well, try limiting the SMP client to 3 cores. That might actually boost your SMP numbers.

[RogueOpportunist]

Well there seems to be some sort of issue with my ATI cards, as mentioned before I got them to run at 95% usage but it didn't really do much to boost my PPD and when I stopped GPU folding my GPU usage stayed at 95% and wouldn't drop back down.

I dunno, something is weird with these cards I'm just gonna stick with CPU folding for the time being. :neutral:

[Fuganater]

Will a SLI setup beat 2 individual cards folding?

Currently I have my GTX 260's folding and getting 6-7k PPD each. I complete a WU in 1h45min on each. So would they complete a WU in like 45min if configured for SLI?

[x88x]

Will a SLI setup beat 2 individual cards folding?

No. For folding, you get better performance dropping the cards out of SLI and running individually. This is because the scaling in SLI is not actually 100%, so you have wasted potential. Actually, I'm not sure you can even run the F@H client on an SLI config

[slaveofconvention]

Afaik, SLI folding isn't possible at the moment - I could be wrong but I've definitely read somewhere that it doesn't work - you'd get the same or better performance from two GPU clients anyway I'd imagine.

As for the CPU folding this, definitely limit the multi processor folding to cores-1 cores (ie 3 on a quad, 2 on a 3-core) otherwise you end up with a CPU constantly stopping folding every time the GPU folding client asks for something - keeping a core free will allow the GPU clients to run flat out along with an SMP client...

[RogueOpportunist]

I tried 3core+GPU, 4core+GPU, CPU Only and GPU Only (with various different configs)... So far CPU only folding is getting me the highest PPD at 4.1k... Any time I use the GPU it doesn't seem to matter what I do, the CPU PPD gets cut in half and the GPU only ever puts out a little over 1k max.

Seems to me there is some ridiculous overhead when running the GPU client on ATI cards (or maybe just these ATI cards) because the X4's are matching the C2D in PPD now that they don't have to worry about the GPU... I've tried every combination of settings for the GPU and when it is working it sits at 30-35% CPU and 90-95% GPU (when GPU folding is running on its own) which seems like it would work fine with the 3core+GPU setup but even with a core left open for the GPU folding the CPU PPD drops 50% (instead of the 25% I would expect from having 1 less core)... Basically if I fold with 3 cores alone, or fold with 3 cores + GPU the PPD is almost exactly the same... Something is definitely screwy with that.

Ahh well, at least my X4's sit at 22 degrees while folding as opposed to the 65 degrees the video cards are throwing into the room... Was hoping to contribute a lot more to the team but I guess I'll have to stick with my meager little offering for now. :D

[AmEv]

So, if you had a GPU and a dual-core procy, would you be better off with the GPU and the CPU clients?

[RogueOpportunist]

Well, my C2D desktop gets 4k+ from the CPU and 12k+ from the GPU with the SMP client using both cores for folding... The F@H clients seem to work perfect on Nvidia cards and there is next to no CPU overhead for GPU folding and as such my individual PPD stats didn't change much when I ran GPU or SMP on their own.

If you had an ATI card in a dual core system I guess it would kind of depend on a few different factors but from what I gather (and have read others say) the F@H client does consume a lot of CPU power to fold on an ATI GPU, I'm not really sure if my circumstance is any better or worse than everyone else trying to fold on ATI cards but if I am having problems on a quad core chip I imagine a dual core chip would be just as bad, even if it was clocked higher.

For comparison sake the 5670 I am using is roughly the same as an 8800/9800gt in terms of horsepower, a 9800gt gets somewhere around 5000ppd with next to no CPU usage... My 5670 gets 1k PPD with 30% CPU usage.

For folding I downclocked my C2D to 4ghz (was 4.3) so I could drop the voltage and the GTX460 is running at 900mhz (although it squeals like a pig, dunno if downclocking would help that though) and when running SMP and GPU clients I'm reporting around 16,000 PPD, I had originally setup the CPU and GPU clients without FAH Tracker and although I can't remember my exact numbers I do remember that running with the SMP client did get me double the points off the CPU, the GPU was relatively unchanged.

[x88x]

So, if you had a GPU and a dual-core procy, would you be better off with the GPU and the CPU clients?

Right. Keeping with the [cores]-1 rule of thumb, that would limit the CPU folding to a single core. IDK if there's any performance difference between the CPU client and the SMP client only using one core though....maybe you should test that?

[Fuganater]

Finally putting up real numbers! Here comes FUGA!!

[slaveofconvention]

This weekend is officially Modder Hunting Weekend for the TBCS team heh - according to this....

http://www.thebestcasescenario.com/slaveofconvention/images/folding/modderhunt.jpg

We'll overtake both Modders Inc and MODTHEBOX by the end of the weekend :D

[Oneslowz28]

Nice!

[DynamoNED]

The good news: I bought a computer off Craigslist with a EVGA GTX 460 and an AMD Phenom II X4 945 for an excellent price, so expect my numbers to come up significantly as soon as I get it prepped for folding. (I'm expecting slightly less than double my current PPD, since I'm already running a Palit GTX 460 and an AMD Phenom II X6 1055T folding on 4 cores.)

The bad news: I've been having some weird behavior out of FAH GPU Tracker - when my GTX 460 has finished its last 5-6 work units, it claims it's still working until I manually stop the client and restart it. I confirmed this after looking through the log files - apparently it's having trouble communicating with the results server. May just be my connection going a bit sideways, but I'd rather play it safe. I think I'm going to take my machine offline for the next few hours to let it "rest" and see if that helps. If anyone has any suggestions, though, they are appreciated.

heh... might have to go hijack my parents computers again... :whistler:

[x88x]

w00tz! I passed 1.5 million at some point this morning! :D

Also, I noticed that today we'll be passing Modders-Inc and Dell. :D

[Fuganater]

We have some competition now. AUFolding will pass us in 1.4 weeks. We need more folders!!!

[985323]

Speaking of passing, Congrats on passing me as the #2 points provider Fuganater!

[Fuganater]

Thanks bud. I'm slowly starting to climb the ranks.

[Fuganater]

#1 Points Provider :D

[SXRguyinMA]

still says your #9 on the team though :?

[x88x]

Stanford ranks by total points, EOC ranks by 24-hr average.

[Fuganater]

Ya x88x has 1.6 mil points over me... I'll get there 8)

[Fuganater]

So my GPU 0 and 1 PPD is dropping like crazy. I've changed nothing. It started at around 7488 PPD and now I'm down to 3648 on each. But when the WU starts its at the max which is 7488.

Thoughts?

[diluzio91]

sounds right. lol... you get "crap" units that really screw your folding for a week or 2, then go back to the high volume/fast jobs... its completely normal.

With this cold weather (In wisc) I REALLY want to oc my i7 back to 4.0 and take my 560 to it's former 975 mhz and plow through some wu's... but my parents are back home... :(

[slaveofconvention]

My GTS450 kicked back into action today, for all of 3 workunits - and now it's back to failing to start WU's - idn what's going on but I'm now fairly sure it ISN'T something I'm doing (or not doing)

[RogueOpportunist]

You sure you didn't fry the card? I stopped doing GPU folding because I just didn't trust stressing the thing that much, besides the high pitch whine I was getting I really don't think GPU's are designed for 24/7 (or close) usage at 100%... I could be wrong though.

[x88x]

The GPUs shouldn't ever have a problem with folding 24/7. The GPU cooling system on the other hand, might, especially if it has to go full tilt because of high ambient temps.

[diluzio91]

be sure to tweak the fans if you're going to fold... you want them higher rather than lower.

[slaveofconvention]

Temps never went over about 65 on the Nvidia or 55 on the ATI - 3dMark ran just fine on both cards so pretty sure they're ok

[slaveofconvention]

Landmark time - and this one is, IMO, a biggie - well done to everyone folding for TBCS - we have hit a BIG ol' number of points :)


http://www.thebestcasescenario.com/slaveofconvention/images/folding/10000000points.jpg

Thats SEVEN zeros - woot :banana:

[AmEv]

Then 8, then 9, then.......

[x88x]

Very nice. :D Yay us! :banana:

Also, I happened to notice this just now...I thought TGS might enjoy this. ;)

Ok, this was really weird. I checked my stats on EOC a few minutes ago and was greeted with this (oval and comment are added for emphasis):

http://img839.imageshack.us/img839/6862/faheocstatweirdness.png

:eek:

All I have to say is that either my GTX 460 has been holding back on me, or there was some kind of strange file corruption somewhere. Either way, I'm not complaining :P

EDIT: I just checked again, and for my midnight points run, I got 1,298 points for 91 WU's, but I know only 1 WU was completed between 9pm and midnight. The point value is right, but I'm not sure where the funky WU numbers are coming from. Again, weird.

[Fuganater]

Well my points are going to tank now with no GPU folding :( At least the person who bought them waited till the competition was over!

[985323]

Welp, My points are going to tank for the next day or two while I install my water-cooling

[pcclan]

woot we got our 3rd, 1 million point user. i finally got 1 million points.

[x88x]

Congrats!

[Fuganater]

Got my 2 x 560's installed. Over 35k PPD now.

The only problem is that the temps are crazy high. My WC system goes up to 38C when it used to max at 32C

[diluzio91]

lol.... my card (560ti) idles at 50.... you'll be okay.

[Fuganater]

Why are you not folding?

1) Some one stick this thread.
2) Grats x88x on 2mil points!
3) We have started slowing down now. Taking days and not hours to pass teams. We still have 3 teams on our tail. Since the competition is over we lost a few folders me thinks.


Would be sick if everyone on the forum started folding.

[x88x]

3) We have started slowing down now. Taking days and not hours to pass teams. We still have 3 teams on our tail. Since the competition is over we lost a few folders me thinks.
We also lost our two biggest contributors (diluzio and Trace) in the last month or so, which knocked us down, what, almost 100kppd?

[Fuganater]

Ya about that. I'm only putting out 40k

[x88x]

It was in reference to your comment about two 460's outperforming you...iirc you have some ATI cards running, yes?

[Fuganater]

no... I have dual GTX 560 Ti's

[x88x]

Oh, ok, nvm....yeah, that's odd that 460's are outperforming your 560's...and if his CPU is the one in his system drop-down, you should be outperforming that too...hmm..I feel like I'm missing something...

[Fuganater]

Down to 13 active folders....

[NightrainSrt4]

My rig was only up for a day before it had to come back down. Once it gets back up then I'll be folding again, but nothing I can do until I get a case or finish this case mod. But I'm waiting on matching paint as they've been out of stock and I can't get a match until I find it.

[billygoat333]

My lappy needed a break, and my desktop is on the fritz. Soon as I get some funds I should have my i7 up and running.

[Fuganater]

Gonna hit 1 million points next update :D

[985323]

I bluescreened and since then the tracker has been acting up. So until I get it working properly I wont be folding. Plus my system could use a break as it has been folding 24/7

[Fuganater]

Almost pointless to fold for TBCS... no one is really doing it anymore.

I'm hoping to bring another computer online soon to supplement production. Working on getting my "spare-parts" build finalized and up for folding.

@Fuganater - While I realize with the end of the contest the number of people folding has dropped off, I also know a lot of our drop-off has been people who are actively modding/repairing/replacing their folding system. I think after the summer modding season, we'll see a nice surge in PPD for the team.

/\That. Also, people in situations where they are unable to keep their systems folding (like diluzio). And my numbers have dropped a bit since I lost my job..what with me using my computer during the day now..

[NightrainSrt4]

Folding, to me, is about the benefits. Seeing the big numbers, or watching your team climb through the ranks is great, but it isn't what it should be about, at least in my eyes.

To those whom those things are important I could see it being frustrating to be on a team that isn't making big strides any more. I just want to help in whatever way I can, when ever it is possible for me to do so. As such, I'll ride the wave and get back into the action when I can. My units help, regardless the team that gets credit for them.

But, that's me :D.

[TheMainMan]

I've stopped folding for the summer as I'm subletting a room and had to agree to go easy on the power usage. I'm trying to make sure that when I move in the fall power is included in the rent. If that happens I will definitely go back to folding.

[RogueOpportunist]

/\That. Also, people in situations where they are unable to keep their systems folding (like diluzio). And my numbers have dropped a bit since I lost my job..what with me using my computer during the day now..

Yeah I had to shut down my folding after the comp because summer is here and I have a Dremel that isn't "completely" burnt out yet, it's just too much of a pain to re-assemble systems over and over again... They will all be put back to work once they are put back together. :D

[Fuganater]

Well hope everyone's modding and financial issues are coming along for the better.

I just passed 98 finally and I am about to hit 1.5mil points!

I was looking at some other teams and I can't beleive how the PPD that is coming out of single users.

[mDust]

I was looking at some other teams and I can't beleive how the PPD that is coming out of single users.

When I was in college I saw a guy installing the client on all the computers that were used for rendering quite often and so were never shut off. He probably had about 90 clients running 24/7 on very powerful workstations. That's probably how most of those superfolders do it.

Fuga, you down?

[Fuganater]

Yep. I'm on vacation so I unplugged my computers. Don't want anything to happen to them when I'm away for 3 weeks.

[mDust]

A severe lightning strike has either destroyed or damaged all the T1 modems (amongst other things) in my building. Why there was no surge protection we'll never know...:facepalm: I doubt they'll have it repaired before I move out next week, so I won't be folding again for at least a couple weeks.:mad:

[x88x]

My numbers are gonna be down for a while till I figure out a new place to put my dedicated folder. I finally almost have my in-law suite ready to rent, so I moved it out of there. Gotta find a new place that's similarly insulated from me though...no way am I running that in my house proper...damn thing is so freakin LOUD.

[985323]

Hit two million yesterday *w00t* stopping for a bit as I will be away from home for a couple of days.

[Fuganater]

I'm back in the game!

[mDust]

I'm back in the game!

Rats! I thought I could sneak up on you a bit.:(

[Fuganater]

So I dropped GPU Tracker for the normal clients. There is a new CPU/SMP client out there which gives you a bigger boost in PPD. GPU client hasn't been updated yet. I did this mainly so I could intergrate a skin into Rainmeter to track my folding.

[x88x]

Which client is that? I don't use the GPU3 client anyway, so that wouldn't be a problem for me if it's not updated yet.

[Fuganater]

V6.34 SMP2 client. Its on this page. http://folding.stanford.edu/English/DownloadWinOther

[Fuganater]

I got my PPD fixed... I think. Been chewing out good numbers the past 3 days. I'm coming for you x88x :P

[x88x]

Haha, yeah...my main system is pretty messed up atm; some core system files got corrupted somehow to the point where I can't even do a repair install...and of course I never set up nightly backups this time around...and I'm hammered with work atm, so probably won't be getting around to fixing it for a while. ..and my dedicated folder is sitting in a corner collecting dust since I moved it into the house (soooo loud... -_^ ).

So right now I'm just running on one core on the E1500 in my server. :P

So catch up while you can. ;)

[Fuganater]

Ya... I had to open my mouth.... PPD just went down the tubes again... stupid 560 Ti

[billygoat333]

Alright, got my i7 up and running, gonna fold for a bit see what I can get with this thing.

We are back to 400, we lost a position. :( sucks some of our big producers went down.

EDIT: just looked at the team that surpassed us and they have less active users than us. One guy is producing 67k+ppd!

EDIT EDIT: ok so that isn't super high but he is producing 2/3s of their PPD lol.

Yeah I'm currently in the process of switching cases, and thus, LC systems, waiting on parts, so my folding beast is currently not working :P

Ya my wife's PC PSU died due to a power outage. I'm ordering a new one soon.

Good thread on another forum for setting up the beta folding client :)

[Fuganater]

I used that for awhile but managing 3 separate clients was annoying.
