Folding@Home

[denim]

I remember we talked about it a little on the old board and at the time the interest by our team was scarce at best. Was not sure if anyone else on the team still was doing it much at all anymore, as a team we are way down in the 500's. My contribution dropped a great deal once they stopped using PS3's for crunching. I am back to just one machine at a very light setting as to not affect BOINC credits much.

So, is anyone else still Folding@Home? ;)

[zombie67]

I ran a few tasks when my TITAN arrived. I wanted to try out the new app (http://www.setiusa.us/showthread.php?5410-folding-home-Welcome-to-FahCore-17!&highlight=folding).

[DrPop]

Unfortunately I don't really have any resources to spare since I'm trying to help as much as I can with BOINC projects for the team challenges we enter. What I can't figure out, is this: since programmers have been able to make a wrapper for so many other projects out there, and distribute the WUs and credits to BOINC clients, then why cannot they do the same for Folding@Home? Seems to me it would be somewhat the same as they've already done for other projects. What would make this one different?

[c303a]

If I remember correctly Boinc was offered to FAH and theey said NO! They preferred to run the show themselves. I ran FAH after Boinc took over SETI but I haven't run it for a long time now. I tried o get into my old account but couldn't. I will have to do some investigating.

[Fogle]

There are too many project within BOINC, I can't go chasing after everyone with a project. If they can't bother with Boinc I don't bother with them.

Those are my feelings as well. It's also easier to keep track of my credits when they're all in one place.

F@H has an option to crunch through your browser window. So since I am unable to have BOINC on my office machine anymore, I am back to crunching F@H for our team.

[denim]

Gradually moving us up though my one office machine set on high 24/7. Wish I could put BOINC on it, but no such luck anymore.

[somanyroads]

Curiosity made me look at the Folding@home web site since I once upon a time crunched the project. Found a seti.usa team listing with some familiar names, but the homepage link to setiusa.net doesn't look familiar. Is there another seti.usa team? https://folding.stanford.edu/stats/team/51524

[Bryan]

That is a link to the "old" SUSA website that was owned by BJ21 - one of the original team founders.

We change to this website in Oct 2010.

Yay! We are not even in the top 1000 teams. But we are slowly moving up with just my single machine through the browser on it, so more on it will help of course.

We got this! I would always welcome more help though. I know a lot of people aren't too keen on F@H, but it was my very first distributed computing project before I learned about the BOINC projects. 2759

[denim]

We are trending up. Yay. :)

[denim]

We are up 200 team spots over the last month or so. That will slow down of course, but I still have my strongest machine solely on this as I cannot have it on BOINC.

[WXFanatic]

I had to back out of this one for a bit. I'll return in a few days.

[denim]

Ok, I'll stay on it indefinitely with this machine, or until I can sneak BOINC back on it.

[denim]

Uh oh, just checked in on it. We are sliding in the Team ranking. I am in the top 45k users haha, so my single machine on it is not much, but if a few people want to throw a little at it, that would help.

never ran it, whats the pros and cons

[John P. Myers]

never ran it, whats the pros and consIt's pretty much Rosetta except no BOINC credit.

[pinhodecarlos]

It's pretty much Rosetta except no BOINC credit.

I don't see any issues not having boinc credit.

[denim]

It's one advantage is you can run it anywhere in the browser and don't need a BOINC Manager.

[denim]

Thanks to who ever put a little bit on F@H, as we have stopped falling in the overall team rankings.

This is the limk I get to the team stats for Folding but it redirects to what looks like an Arabic web site. I just put my 6700 K on Folding and I am running boinc at rhe saame time with no problems.

[Ron Shurtz]

The language appears to be Thai.

Strange that they use the URL address setiusa.net.


Did they stomp on an address that you had been going to regularly?

Had it originally been based in Thailand?

[c303a]

This is the first time I am folding under the c303aID and this team. I never had trouble before with another team #. I have almost 9,500,000 credits under another ID.

[Ron Shurtz]

See Bryan's post earlier in this thread.

https://www.setiusa.us/showthread.php?5863-Folding-Home&p=114265&viewfull=1#post114265

The old seti.usa site is shown and the URL may have been taken over after we abandoned it.

Without BJ21's original password, we can't change it.

I still have 2 boxes which are down right now and both have dual video cards and 4770K cpu's. I don't know when or if I will get them back up and running. (Just need to clean and update them but have other things to do). Folding was one of my favorite projects before Boinc and I also have 9,496,000 under another identity for another team. I have 2 boxes running Folding and Boinc at the same time and they run great. Right now I am running a 8500 and a 6700 with dual 1060's

Wow, thats nuts. For years I had a Sony Playstation just running around the clock on Folding. Today, I just have one box at work that is running Folding via the chrome browser while running 5 cores of BOINC. So I am not making any progress but not losing any either, just slowly adding credits for the team.

[c303a]

I run FAH on all 8 cores plus the GPU's and BOINC all at the same time. The same with the 6700. I have been running Seti since the late 90s when I ran the internet service for a car dealership. I stopped when Boinc stepped in. I then ran FAH until I joined this team. I didn't know there was a team for it here. Now since I learned that I can run both I am back in.

[zombie67]

Thanks for bringing this up again. I forgot all about F@H. It's fun too!

Looking for my old stats, it turns out I have 1.5m credits for my old Team MacNN, before joining this team. And then another 107k for this team. Looks like we have been climbing back up in the ranks lately. There used to be charts to compare users and teams. Do they still exist someplace?

[zombie67]

Any idea what "rank" means here?

https://stats.foldingathome.org/team/51524

It doesn't seem to go up/down based on credit scores.

:confused:

[c303a]

I don't follow the stats too close but I think I am going to have to go down to the lower level and spend a couple hours doing maintenance on the 4770K's and see if I can do a run at 1st place.

I figured it out. Rank is where the user is ranked based on total credits. But on that team list, you see only those credits crunched for that team. The users may have additional credits crunched for other teams.

Wow, that is going pretty far back. ;) With the chrome browser folding, I think it might only be one core.

With a few of us now on F@H, as a team we are moving up. :)

[zombie67]

If we can get our team score up to 1200th or better, then our stats at EO will start including individual stats too. So getting us to at least 1200 is my goal.

https://folding.extremeoverclocking.com/team_summary.php?s=&t=51524


Q: Why don't we have user (individual) stats?
A: Individual stats are added when the team rank reaches at least 800. It is possible for individuals to be added sooner if the team's rank is at least 1,200 AND their rank has gone up by at least 5 spots in the last 7 days. So the more active teams get their users' added sooner.

I figured I would run this until the pentathlon (if it happens for us), or we hit 1200th place, whichever comes first. It will be nice to get our individual stats showing up on EOC. I wish there was some way to see individual machine or slot stats.

Yeah the home site is a bit slow updating stats.......


What kind of hardware are you bringing? Just curious.

Currently 4 1080ti's, 1 1080 & 1 old 780........

No CPU's, the CPU client and the GPU client like D-net doesn't work well together.... (the PPD slowdown of running both together isn't good)

Also, you can't run Boinc along side cause of the same thing. Folding likes to be the only DC project running, it doesn't like to share....

We are now at 1297 on rankings and climbing fast..... our individual member stats should be picked up sometime after we pass 1200, (given we've been jumping rank more than five slots an update, but it's not a guarantee. The hard limit guarantee on being picked up is 800, past that and we will definitely see member stats charting....

Ok we are now on the stats page, (individual members) yet the database has just started populating, will probably take a few days to collect enough updates to calculate baselines.....

Team# 51524

https://folding.extremeoverclocking.com/team_summary.php?s=&t=51524

Be sure to also assign your passkey to each client too. You get more points if you do that.

[shiva]

ok I will do that, anything else I need to know about this.

[zombie67]

ok I will do that, anything else I need to know about this.

Use the advanced client, instead of the web client. If you have more than one machine folding, you can display and monitor them all on one machine.

Slide the folding power slider all the way to the right "full".

If you want to maximize folding, then don't run BOINC at the same time (and vice versa).

After you return 10 tasks successfully, and are above something like 90% successful, and use a passkey, you will start getting significant bonus credits too. You can check your status here: https://apps.foldingathome.org/bonus

By default, the FAH client will fold on both your CPU and GPU at the same time (separate tasks for each). If you want to (for example), fold on your GPU and BOINC on your CPU, then delete the CPU slot from your FAH client. You can always add the deleted slot back later.

Before deleting any slots, be sure to set them to "Finish", and complete the in progress task first. You want to avoid aborted/failed/abandoned tasks when possible. See the bonus comment above.

[zombie67]

ok I will do that, anything else I need to know about this.

That happens when the servers are out of work to hand out, or when they are overloaded. Or both.

I moved my GPUs off of F@H for now. Tired of them sitting idle a lot of the time. And frankly, they have more volunteer resources than they can use at the moment.

[Ron Shurtz]

Anyone having the issue of the GPU just not picking up? Mine is just stuck with "downloading"



It happens to me often.
I click on the GPU line and check the "Next Attempt" time. If it is more than 30 minutes, I quit FAH on that machine and then start it again.
It will then check for a WU immediately and start over on incrementing the next attempt back off times.
I have had next attempt times of over 5 hours.
Stopping and starting FAH usually gets me a WU much sooner.
When WUs becomes available, you may otherwise be sitting on a lengthy next attempt time and miss out.
I don't babysit it often, but I check from time to time and do the stop and start to get GPU WUs when I see long next attempt times. :D

Just pausing and playing the slot will have the same effect. That way you don't end up with lost time on the other slots, because they have to restart at the last checkpoint.

Cool! Thanks Z! I'll give that a try.
