241p Tinkers are my staple, however I did get 3 of the 600p monster last week.

Is there a way you can tell how many points a specific work unit is worth - other than checking your score point change after it is delivered ? I have see work units with 7,500 frames ...
Is there a log entry that can tell us this ?

If you are using skoona's excellent gkrellfah2 plugin for the gkrellm system monitor, yes. Otherwise, not easily. You can use the MyFolding.html and unitinfo.txt to track your current progress, but I haven't been able to find the "Points=" anywhere.

Skoona, do you calculate this number from the "steps" or ?

Curious,
Jason

No, I get the points from one of two lookup tables, which I parse from webpages using the project number. Here are the pages; (note: bone-daddy - gkrellfah2.sourceforge.net does it all for you)

regular workunits -- http://vspx27.stanford.edu/psummary.html
beta workunits -- http://vspx27.stanford.edu/psummaryB.html

Inside FAHlog.txt
- look for last protein keywork, ex:" Protein: p1139_p1133_L939_K12M_355K"
- in this example the project number is '1139'
- find that project in the psummary.html page. (should be 241.0 points)

(maybe I should make gkrellfah2 a standalone program and seperate it from gkrellm?)

Thanks ! I reviewed my logs and found the majority of work units were not 600 point GROMACS.
So I changed my client.cfg file to include 'bigpackets=yes' on one of the machines which had no big work units. We'll see if that helps !

While I was looking at prior posts ( for the "bigpackets=yes" post ) I came across this website :

http://folding.extremeoverclocking.c...php?s=&t=37988

Lots of good info - good to know that the team will reach 700,000 around July 1st ( if I am reading the graph correctly )

fold on !

hi! i have joined the team!
a 650 MHz cpu is working 24 hours per day! :-)
it's a little testserver with an apache running on it.
Not much, but I hope it helps a bit.

Welcome to the team

Im in, Just started at a nice 0, Can you run the client on multiple machines with the same username? (or is that cheating:P)

That's actually the preferred way. It's what several folks are already doing. No problem whatsoever.

Hi all, just joined my desktop (on roughly 8 hours a day) and me server (on 24/7) to team 37988.

They're both roughly the same spec, P3 650-700, 512Mb ram

it's a Windows box

but hey, every little helps

, he doesn't know though hehe, got it running as a service.

Are there any issues with using the exact same client.cfg on multiple computers, with the same machineid?

skoona · #**164** 28th June 2005, 02:55 AM

Jman,

I think there is, I have mine number 1 thru 8.. An I have wondered how those few people with more than 8 are doing it. The F@H Server that gives out work keeps track of userid/machine that it has assigned work to. However, it does so for the purpose re-assigning the wu if the machine does not return it in time. It must not be concerned that the same userid/machine has 10 workunits assigned to it at once.

Well I just signed up to the team thanks heaps for this.
