GATT Folding @ Home

[Netizen1]

fill in the "Run As" section for the service. Provide valid credentials.

Just a suggestion

[Nephilim]

didn't think of that. will try it.

the service option itself is a known buggy area, but i hate to see that thing in the task bar just taking up space needlessly.

[W1nTry]

I haven't had too many problems running it as a service under Vista... save the remember option in my firewall and I disabled UAC...

[Nephilim]

same here. will give it a go via the normal thing, worst case scenario i just redo it, it still early.

edit

the smp service works, the gpu service is shot though.

[Nephilim]

'EUE limit exceeded. Pausing 24 hours.'

whats that nao?

[Spazosaurus]

'EUE limit exceeded. Pausing 24 hours.'

whats that nao?

HEYYYY. I getting the same error. I thought it was due to my crossfire config so I disabled it.

A wu is running, but still under observation.

It could be due to overclock as well. That's the next thing im going to take off.

[Nephilim]

i seeing somewhere is a CUDA issue. and some saying OC

but either way it working now, so all is good in folding land.

[W1nTry]

OCing... you are OCing the video card permanently?

[Nephilim]

the vid has been at my last bench OC for the last 3/4 months. it can do 750 easily.

i aint gonna V-mod nun. so doh even propose it

[W1nTry]

No I wasn't going to, I was reffering to the fact that you suffered a CUDA error and you looking at the OC. I was asking if you OCed the card as well as it might just be a matter of defaulting the card and not the CPU. That aside, keep in mind 8800GTs aka G92 have 'issues'... related to heat and fracturing... let's hope it's not a sign your card.... well you know..

[Nephilim]

hardly have heat issues, had switch out the hsf asap when i got the card.

if it happens again then I'll try default, but i highly doubt is that.

just looking at nvidia site it seems i have some old drivers too, will upgrade in a bit.

also, how much better the folding is on a 4870 than a 88gt? from what i seeing it kinda sucks...

[Spazosaurus]

Nvidia folding is a lot better, which is ironic since ATI has supported folding for wayyy longer.

[TriniXaeno]

(looks @ w1ntry cuteye)

[W1nTry]

From what I remember, they only use about 300-400 of the unified shaders on the ATI cards (note both the 4850 & 4870 have 800 unified shaders) in the F@H GPU agent. Why this is so, I don't know. If that has been changed since, I don't know, look around the folding at home forums and see what's the latest (could be Nvidia marketing money at work) or it could be just a limitation. Regardless of what it is a 4870 isn't a slouch even so.

I found something regarding the Error yall received, didn't read all the way through, but they should have some feedback in there to explain:

Update: A post about the folding on ATI vs. Nvidia
http://foldingforum.org/viewtopic.php?f=51&t=8245

Important summary, the HD4xxx is better at LARGE proteins, the Nvidia small. Since the GPU client is relatively new territory, there aren't as many Large protein calculation, however they should increase with time. Read the post you'll get alot of info.

[Philosophical45]

those setups are sick, simply amazing performance!

[Nephilim]

crap. that mean i running my 88 with the wrong units. i usually use the larger units.

*changes*

those set ups are pretty much on par with what i read too.

i set up the smp as they have it. at 100% my q94 pumps about 2.5-3.5k. i heard that running 2 of them with the affinity changer can yield anywhere from 10-50% ppd increase.

my v/c at 50% about 3k

my dad's CPU temps get to high to leave it home alone without the AC (near 70) so i gonna need a decent cooler for a room about 28-30*C and then that one will come online for the 12hrs away from the PCs...

ah hem

...i saiiiddd i gonna need a decent cooler for a room about 28-30*C...heckle away

from what i read it seems to work better in nix, even in VMs so ill set that up later maybe and give it a trial. There is supposed to be a special distro for folding too.

Feh, my room reaches 36*C and I run the folding 100% GPU and CPU. I use the Xigmatek and my CPU never passes 50. I am thinking of upgrading the HSF... If you interested it might hasten that upgrade XD

[Crixx_Creww]

wtf @ 4 x 295!
are they for real? lol i taught it had recession??

i also wanted to run the f@h in a nix vm but for the life of me i cannot get suse to install in a vm steups.
i half assedly tried installing f@h in ubuntu but it was giving me beans... and i can now play lots of games so it was like damn not working? scene back to deadspace and mirrors edge and left 4 dead and crysis warhead and fall out 3.

just a btw, them people who make deadspace... on real s^^&
