asimov Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 (edited) Nice one datalord. I only just realised I could be running two clients on my laptop, since it's a dual core. It's really boosted my computers output. Edit - sh*t, I just installed Speedfan, to test my computers temp. Apparently it's been 97C for the past couple of months, that can't be good for the CPU I propped it up on some game boy games to get more air flowing, that dropped the temp by 10 degrees but it's still not healthy. I'm going to have to scale back on the folding I think. Edited May 12, 2009 by asimov Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PetsOvernight Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 I'm getting a laptop probably this week, and it has a NVIDIA GeForce 9600M GT graphics card. I haven't looked into the GPU client much, I just know that it gets tons of points, but at the same time seems to be somewhat unstable. Anyone with any experience with a similar graphics card that can shed any light on its performance with the GPU client? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Girish Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 (edited) I had planned to restart folding once I got a new PC but I totally forgot. Anyways, so I've installed the latest 6.23 client. However, I cannot use the 'Viewer'. It gives me a beta notice saying "The viewer does not appear to be where it should be". Upon navigating to the viewer.exe in Program Files where it's been installed and double clicking on it, it says "Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file.You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item." But my user account is already an administrator account. I have even tried to run it as administrator. Has this got something to do with the fact that I'm on Vista? Also, how do I find out whether I have installed a CPU client or a GPU client? I remember reading somewhere about the GPU client being incompatible with Vista. And FahMon doesn't work for me either. It says "This language is not supported by the system". My system specs: Core2Quad Q6600 2.4 GHz 4 GB DDR2 RAM ATi HD 4850 Edit: Issue resolved. It was my anti-virus blocking the viewer.exe.

Edmachine Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 ...Also, how do I find out whether I have installed a CPU client or a GPU client? I remember reading somewhere about the GPU client being incompatible with Vista. ... Look in All programs (or whatever your fancy Vista has it named as ), look for the [email protected] folder. If it says something like [email protected], it's the GPU client. If it says [email protected] or something like that, it's the CPU client. I haven't been folding for ages. Mainly because of the hot summer days. I will fold in Winter, so it keeps my room warm . Gaming does interfere with folding a lot. IV automatically dumps it's settings to the lowest possible when the client is running. Web pages stutter when scrolling. Java applications go a lot slower. Also, a lot of new cool games are coming out, which prevent Folding as much as possible (Modern Warfare 2, DiRT 2 and I am going to buy The Orange Box very soon too). But I'll try to remember it at some point. I could leave it on every day when I go to school (I wake up, I turn it on from Standby, turn on BitComet to seed (legal) torrents. Maybe I should run [email protected] for the GPU and the CPU too?)...

Girish Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 Yeah, I was only running the CPU client so far. I downloaded the GPU client today and I'm running it along with the CPU client. The GPU client seems to put a lot of pressure on the system. My CPU usage is always about 60-70% and my system is running a little hot too which I can make out by just touching the side of my cabinet. It doesn't slow down my applications though, but I'm pretty sure it'll slow down my games so I'll have to close it before running games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quiteso Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 (edited) I had heard about folding before but for some reason never got into it. But now I've just installed the GPU and CPU clients and it seems to be going swimmingly . My name should appear on the GTAF team soon.. The GPU client does seem to run a lot faster than the CPU one. Then again, I'm using a E4500 which isn't too amazingly fast I'm overclocking it soon though which should speed it up a bit. (this also serves as a bump) EDIT: Ah, just ran into a small problem. I can't seem to use both CPU cores to fold, I'm using the system tray client. If I run one instance of the client, it's fine, but if I run a second, my log shows a "CORE I/O ERROR" or something. Am I doing something wrong? Edited January 13, 2010 by Quiteso Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChanandlerBong Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 There's two versions of it, the uniprocessor one which is the main one that people use and is the easiest on resources, easiest to install and maintain. There's also a multi processor one which uses more than one core. I recommend the uniprocessor one though mainly because it doesn't get in the way of what you're doing it all, especially with a powerful system. For example I have 4cores so it only uses 25% maximum which is fine because I rarely push my CPU to the limit but if I'm using something demanding it barely makes an impact. If you're feeling a bit more technical or have a system just for folding then definitely use the multi-processor one as it's much faster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waste Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 You can set up the command line only version to run one instance of the program on each core of your processor. It's also a better idea to use this as the command line only version since it doesn't use so many resources since it isn't having to display the nice pretty display of the protein models.

Quiteso Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 The display doesn't seem to work for me my system just lags loads and then crashes when I try to view it. The installation of the multicore client sounds all rather technical, I think I'll stick with the regular one - easier on CPU temperatures too . Ooh my name is on the team list now! Makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waste Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 [email protected] never puts any stress on my system really. I'm running at 100% CPU on a triple core 24/7 and I've had no issues at all with a stock cooler. Doesn't affect my games either since it throttles back when something else wants priority.

SWEETSAPRIK Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 When I first started folding on my PS3s I was amazed at how much more work it did than the CPU client. Then recently I started running the GPU client, which completely sh*ts all over both the CPU and PS3 clients. That said, I have no idea how some of you guys at the top of the list put that much work in, unless you've been running a bank of clients for years. PяopagaиdaIиc.

Tornado Rex Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 They were sending much more simple proteins before so the GPU and PS3 clients would just tear through them. Now they're sending much more complex proteins which makes it take longer to finish. So pretty much the people on top started when the GPU and PS3 clients were brand new and still getting stupid amounts of points. Oh and I'm pretty sure Xcom had a little Chinese kid doing it instead of a computer which is why no one will ever touch his score. ~ Proud Supporter of the Child's Play Charity! | GTANET + Child's Play ~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exkabewbikadid Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 Oh and I'm pretty sure Xcom had a little Chinese kid doing it instead of a computer which is why no one will ever touch his score. I'd be at 4 mil by now if it wasn't for Child Services. Nah, what happened is that the SMP client just crapped out on me one day for no reason at all. Then I installed some new memory and the gpu client started causing my screen to snag. My system has been totally stable otherwise though. But I see that they finally released a new SMP beta a couple weeks ago, so I'll set it up here soon and see how it goes. I moved to windows 7, so maybe the problem with the gpu client will have magically disappeared as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PetsOvernight Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 Wow I'm finally back. I used to fold a lot on my PS3 (near 24/7) and then my HD gave out, and I never replaced it... tried to get a friend to reformat it and it still failed. So I replaced the dead 80GB with a lovely 320 and am now back to folding! It's been a few months, but I'm glad to be back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PetsOvernight Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 Does anyone still fold here? I still run it on my PS3, albeit less than I used to (due to electricity bills, etc...), but still crunch about 1 WU/day. Usually turn my PS3 on when I go to bed, it'll crunch a unit, and shut off when it's done (~6hrs). This topic died like 1.5 years ago, but here's to hoping some of you guys will keep it up/join!! Haven't checked the team stats so I may be the only one left haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spuds725 Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 I fold occasionally on my PS3 now-- I my desktop PC takes for ever to crank out one (is pretty old) and it seems to affect its performance to I uninstalled. I have the client installed on my wifes laptop but only under my profile-- she runs ALOT of stuff at a time and once again it seemed like it affect its performance (Vista with 2 GB of ram). Will crank it up a bit when I get a new desktop machine--- just need to bite the bullet-- probably in the next few months if we don't overspend on Christmas for the kids. I do want thank everyone that has folded-- I don't know if any of the folding has helped him but my youngest son battled cancer last year (I have 3 boys-- 5, 6, and 9) -- he underwent 44 weeks of chemo, surgery, and 5 weeks of radiation therapy -- he completed his treatment in January and it has been in remission since then--- he is now 5 years old (he was diagnosed on my birthday in 2010 right after he turned 4). He is now in Kindergarten and doing well-- very tough kid. If anyone wants to help cancer patients in other ways consider donating blood-- cancer patients require regular blood transfusions-- my son had around 12 during his chemo and in addition needed a lot during his surgery to remove the tumor.

Finn 7 five 11 Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 I am interested in this. Does it use internet usage? If so is it much? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waste Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 (edited) Only a couple of megabytes per work unit. So unless you have a beast computer it won't use much at all. EDIT: Ok, I started back on this after a long hiatus from it. Got a little obsessed with the competition of it last time and decided to take a break from it for a bit. Ironically enough I started running it on my PS3 yesterday and was going to find the topic and bump it but I was beat to it. Currently running it on my laptop (8 instances), desktop (3 instances), and my PS3. EDIT: Running the GPU client as well on my GTX260 and my ATI 5730HD. >.> Edited November 28, 2011 by Waste Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spuds725 Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 (edited) I am interested in this. Does it use internet usage? If so is it much? Very little internet usage... In a nutshell--- you download and install the client software. Depending on your PC and Specs you can download a windows client or the GPU client... The GPU client uses the processing power of your video card to crank out larger units faster-- you have to have a higher end and compatible graphics card to use this client. Anyway-- you download and install the client.... you can set a user name and join a folding team-- GTAforums team id is 32093 The program will run in the back ground and is supposed to use resources when the PC is idle (when you aren't using them)-- The client software will download a work unit file to your PC--- the program will then run its simulations on it-- depending on the unit size, your PCs specs, etc it can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days to knock it out... you don't have to leave the PC on all the time... it will resume where it left off if you turn it off... you can check its progress if you want but is pretty much designed to run in the background. When it is done-- it will upload the compete work unit back to the server and then download a new work unit for your PC to work on.... so it uses very little bandwidth. Very simple... The PS3 has a folding program installed to utilize it's dual GPUs (graphics processing units)-- it takes my PS3 about 7 hours to crank one out-- unfortunately you can't do anything other then listen to music when the PS3 is folding.
