Inspired by Apprentice' PS3 Folding @ home thread, GATT has officially created a Folding @ Home team and we hope to encourage as many GATTers whom own PCs, Mac, PS3s etc to join in on the efforts being made around the world with Folding @ Home project headed by Stanford Univ. Its one of if not THE largest distributed computer network who's sole purpose is to take over the world... ok that's not true, its actually all to do with Protein folding and research into different types of diseases. Visit there home page at: FOLDING @ HOME for more information.

If you are already familiar with the collective effort and you are a member of GATT, our team ID is 71093

So please, join the effort of thousands even if your PC isn't that powerful, every little helps. Also if there are any questions related to the application, please refer to the site or if more specifically questions regarding F@H and GATT feel free to post here. We hope to see you out in your virtual numbers!

Hmmm...

I will join up on that team ID with my PS3 and see if it works...

Work Unit Tally for me thus far = 7WU (under another team

)

Could everyone on GATT contributing to this effort please put up some kind of stat? like how many PC/PS3 you have working atm? I have a total of 4 PCs working on F@H at present. Crixx? Apprentice? anyone else?

TheApprentice · « **Reply #6 on:** May 09, 2007, 10:55:36 PM »

I haven't gotten time to join the GATT team yet...

So I'll let ya'll know when I do...

Crixx_Creww · « **Reply #7 on:** May 10, 2007, 01:36:46 AM »

just checked my stats

ive contributed 9 WUs so far

go northwood yayyyy.

gonna make the switch to the gatt team now.

too bad i cant carry over my WUs to the team, we looking poor with only one WU to our name so far, come on ps3s do you duty

W1nTry · « **Reply #8 on:** May 16, 2007, 01:25:01 PM »

Well i've completed around 12WU to date... 2 of which weren't under the GATT team. Of the 8 or so registered completed WUs... 2-3 ARE NOT BEING SENT TO THE work servers for some reason. So though our teams should read about 6 or 7WU completed, its more like 10WU completed by myself off of 7 cores

12WUs in under 2 weeks ain't half bad.

Crixx_Creww · « **Reply #9 on:** May 16, 2007, 01:27:44 PM »

Hey, it doesnt show my WUs under the gatt team..

W1nTry · « **Reply #10 on:** May 16, 2007, 01:30:05 PM »

Has it registered in the logs that the WU was sucessfully uploaded to the work server? i've had 2 WUs so far unable to send. Also sometimes it take a while to register even though the logs say it was sent. So don't get alarmed yet. I will give it another day or 2 to send those 2 WUs that refuse to send. Failing which I wil post something on the F@H forum board.

Crixx, if you're using the GUI client or console client make sure (if you're running WinXP and IE7) that you UNcheck the 'use internet explorer settings' checkbox. Even on IE6, I would suggest trying that. I did so on mine and i'm up to the correct # of WUs for GATT team now 9

W1nTry · « **Reply #12 on:** May 18, 2007, 02:23:00 PM »

13 WUs and counting!!!! come on ppl, where the support???

TrinireturnofGamez · « **Reply #13 on:** May 20, 2007, 08:58:30 PM »

i used to fold awhile ago.... probably look into getting into it again

addendum : currant work unit is taking 83 days to finish , so don't expect any contributions in the short term.. they really hitting the core 2 duos hard.

Nah, it only says that. Leave it be and you'll see it'll finish faster than you think. Cause if I can fold on a 4400 X2 in about 1-2 days or rather 3 nights, then Core 2 is NOT supposed to STICK like that. Tweak the settings a bit. Which client are you using? set utilization to 100%. It says 100% but it will ONLY use 100% IF its available. Thus not SLOWING other apps. That's why its priority in the task manager is never higher than low/normal.

TrinireturnofGamez · « **Reply #15 on:** May 21, 2007, 01:09:23 PM »

it went down to 30 hours after awhile.. probably just a minor bug , probably will use a second install of it to use the second core so i can be pushing out 2 every few days .

W1nTry · « **Reply #16 on:** May 22, 2007, 09:30:06 AM »

I use either 2 console versions or a GUI + console version. The SMP version for windows is still in BETA and thus I wouldn't recommend it. If you want to utilize the 2nd core you need to run a console version and MOST IMPORTANTLY set the Machine ID to 2 or higher as the first one you install unless explicitly set otherwise will be have a Machine ID of 1. I actually have it running on a server @ work with 4 cores. It's running 4 copies of the console app with IDs 1,2,3,4. So expect my WU count to keep rising ppl!!! that aside WHERE ARE ALL THE OTHER multicore ppl on gatt that could be helping darnit!!! 17WUs and counting at the time of this post!!!
