Place holder.
huh?
I needed the URL of this post for the article I'm writing about our team.
I thought TBCS had a F@H team already...
Edit: Here it is.
http://fah-web.stanford.edu/cgi-bin/...teamnum=175600
Unless you just made it... lol :facepalm::whistler:
We have a different team, that has points :D
did we ever find out what the team number was? the one with points
Found it
http://fah-web.stanford.edu/cgi-bin/...teamnum=155539
I'll join this! Where do i sign?
Sure, I'll join...once I get my desktop working again... Hmmm, does this project have GPU support? :twisted:
There's also BOINC. I have a TON of points for SETI, because it runs constantly on my GPU. The others use the CPU. I only started using BOINC again a little over a month ago, when I replaced my P4 with a Q6600. Since then, I've had it running at 100% constant.

What can I do with an i7 860, and 2 GTS 250s? one runs @x16, the other x4 at best. Would it put up points?
Lots of points. I think I get more points from my single 9800GTX+ than I do from all four cores of my CPU combined.
You can use your 6850 even though it isn't technically supported. I'm using my 6870 just fine.
Get FAH GPU Tracker V2.
In the configuration force 'ATI R800' and it will work.
I'm seriously amazed at how much faster GPUs are than CPUs...my 6870 is running laps around my X6 1090T! There's no competition there whatsoever.
By the way, I joined the TBCS folding team.
EDIT: I take back the 6870 running laps around the 1090T. When I configured the program I goofed. The 1090T is now thoroughly trouncing the 6870 using only 4/6 cores.:D
Ok so the whole point of THIS thread was originally to act as the official home of the TBCS Folding team - FYI the team number is 191053. If you're folding for any other TBCS team, please change over to this team number - I'm not saying any other ones aren't official, but they're no longer being actively monitored so it'd probably be best if we try to concentrate on a single team number.
If you're folding for someone else - cmon, please, pretty please, make the switch to our team. Until Trace is back on board full time, I'm going to keep an eye on this and will be regularly posting updates on how we're doing and how we're progressing up the ranks. As soon as we hit 6000 (which isn't that far really) we can use a more informative ranking page which will tell us exactly how far we have to go to overtake the next team etc.
To give you an idea of how we're doing already, with just a few members....
at 11:15 (UK time) today, we were ranked 8826
at 18:00 (UK time) today, we were ranked 8723
Thats over 100 places in less than 7 hours so we should be flying once we get a few (or a lot) more members involved....
Anyone know if there's a good multithreaded linux CLI client? My server only has a Celery E1500, but it's another two cores.

^^^ First google result. *cough*noob*cough*:D
im having troubles... i get these messages
starting gpu/cpu 0
starting new wu on xxx
but my cpu is running at 0% and my GPU is running at 0%...
Help?
Hmmm...I've got a Pentium D 915 & an Asus P5B-Deluxe that are between systems right now...well, looks like I know what my next project is!
After how long and on what system? Completing a WU takes a long time on fast computers, and even longer on older computers...especially the CPU/SMP WUs.
My HD6870 is taking about 2:15 per 1%...which is much faster than the cpu projects, but it varies from project to project. You can find more info on the projects here. It even tells you what research that project is part of! It makes it seem worth it if you read up on your current project.
no, my cpu usage is at 0%. same with gpu. the completion percentage is at 0, but nothing is processing.
Check this out. To sum it up, make sure you're running it as admin. You are now winning like x88x.:)

thats the one im using... i redownloaded 3 different files
With thanks to mDust, Technochicken and Dr.Walrus, (well yeah, and me a bit but it's kinda silly sounding to thank myself) we jumped up to 8586 from 8723 - another 137 places...
You can check the team stats at anytime by going to this page...
http://fah-web.stanford.edu/cgi-bin/...teamnum=191053
Or most clients will give you a right-click option to jump to team stats....
What we REALLY need to make some MAJOR jumps (apparently) are some Nvidia people running 240's or above - those cards apparently tear thru the folding.... (opens ebay)
Looks like I'm running on CPU only, how do I change that to use my GPU?
You need a different client - which GPU do you have?
At the moment, I'm running a 6850, with a Phenom 955. But in a few weeks I will be stepping up to a better Nvidia Card. I'm thinking of the 560.
Also, when I get back to school I'll fire up my alienware lappy as well. the i5 and the 335m in that should throw out some nice ppd...
Ok so I'm not going to keep checking THIS frequently but.... 8407 now guys.... Keep it up :D
I wonder what my dual 5870s will do
You might be unpleasantly surprised - apparently (as I can kinda confirm) Nvidia cards are leagues ahead of ATI's when it comes to folding - my lone 4870 is barely breaking 2000ppd - so probably around 4000 per card - which is great, but peanuts compared to what an equivalent Nvidia card will push out - its not a hardware issue, more a f@h software one but we're kinda stuck with it...
Much as I hate linking to THAT site - here's a breakdown of what most current GPU's are folding at...
http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/gra...-for-folding/3
Course, an extra 8000ppd would still be VERY welcome....
Even with the ATI client? That kinda sucks.
Interesting. The client is probably optimized for nVidia processing methods, and the ATi client hasn't been optimized as well. Actually, come to think of it, it also depends a bit on the type of calculations being done...but it wouldn't be that big a difference if they were equally optimized.
It's focused on hash-generation (and machine-translated..), but here's a good paper explaining the differences in their processing techniques.

Oh, and btw, sometime this weekend I should be adding ~24,599ppd. :twisted:
Hmm, and I'll have to talk to PLAR...see about adding his ~46,924 possible ppd. :whistler:
I'm toying with picking up a nice cheap DDR3 GT440 to throw into an old 775 P4 3.0 board I have lying around - have a dedicated folding machine as a starting block - ironically, with that cheap - 2 or 3 from the bottom GPU, I should get easily double what the 4870 is getting!
And last thing before bed (I start work in 6 hours *sob*) - we're now at 8352 - I'm really looking forward to us breaking the 6k purely because that other stats page gives you a much better idea how you're doing and a realistic idea of how long till you pass the next team above you etc - keeps it interesting :D
ANy numbers on what an 8800 GTS will pull?
According to this thread, about 2.5K ppd:
