I thought I'd start a new thread for this, seeing as the other 2 (1, 2) were a bit spammy.

Anyway, Folding is simply using your spare computing power for medical purposes.

It's also a competition, and we have a team with number 52562, simply enter that when you set up your client to join our team. I like using this page to see the stats.

I just installed the SMP (multicore) and GPU clients, and will report back how well they do soon. I seem to be getting around 2.7k PPD (points per day) on my GPU client according to FahMon.

Join in and have fun!

Fight against other servers to kill them off and develop a cure for cancer in the name of mighty techious!?

Guess i've got nothing else going on

No, we work with other servers and computers to find the secrets to many medical mysteries, possibly leading to a cure for cancer by 'folding proteins', I think that is how it works.

I'll re-install this over the summer... Then get rid of it again when i get back to Uni

But we can be beating them, as in, we can have more points

remember my mentality works a little somthing like this

Heh, I've just spent the last hour or so trying to configure SMP and GPU clients to play nicely. It seems the GPU client was stopping the SMP client from working properly, lol.

I'll give you ppd reports when I get them. Though my actual ppd will be half that (considering time computer is on).

EDIT;

GPU- 2250ppd
CPU - 700ppd

The GPU is a bit low, I've fiddled with the usage settings to make it go back up on next startup.
I'm also expecting much more from the CPU client, but I've been having issues with it. I think it was fixed by setting it do "disable core affinity lock" as one core was always getting beaten by the GPU client (which uses a single threaded CPU client aswell, for some reason), slowing everything down. Both clients are now allowed to spread over all cores, I think, which should improve performance. Also, I had the CPU usage set to about 85% last time I started them, which would account for the GPU low value, but the CPU still needs improvement.

I've now changed to 3 single core clients + GPU as the SMP client was being very slow (I wouldn't have made the deadlines) and giving low points. I'll see what my comp makes of the single cores.

Also, Nannal has set up and has already got 1000+ points.

/me is so awesome

I'm now just shy of 3000ppd total, the CPU single threaded clients suck for points, but the SMP really wasn't happy. I keep getting 511pointers on my GPU, which suck ppd wise, should be 500ppd higher.

I have, however, got about 1000 points today. I remember when I first reached that number, it took weeks.

BUMP

I've now claimed the 6th spot on the folding table with over 8000 points in the last week (over 9000 joke comes tomorrow). I've reached 4k ppd with good units, so an actual output of 2k pdd

I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS CLAN IS FOLDING! WHAT ARE WE PR0 CSS?!

We're going to turn into a folding clan, sod the gaming

the pun was intended :\

I've only just noticed the pun, lol.

I'll be back into folding when I get home. As for now enjoy the possible lead skillers.

I don't think I will catch you before the term is up, lol.

Will anybody catch me?

If I keep folding;

I've put it back on my work PC, I'll try to keep it running while I'm in NZ.
