EMIII is only designed to recognize the console client. You might want to rename the .exe file to FAH3Console.exe and then I think EMIII may work. If you use the GUI, you really don't need EMIII. I just prefer the console to avoid any possible 'graphic' conflicts.

i'm saying...

i tried the GUI, never got any progress...

then i downloaded EM and he console thing

no progress

9/17/2003 11:40:33 AM

i got it

9/17/2003 12:26:09 PM

Welcome to new member anteck7 and we may have a sub team with the member name SilverSurfinSmackerKrackers. Also, if you have not checked out the member stats at extremeoverclocking.com, you are missing out.

movin on up

9/22/2003 5:17:50 PM

Sweet... I'm not doing so bad..

9/23/2003 11:46:09 AM

Jeez... SilverSurfinSmackerKrackers is flat out kicking butt..
When you say a sub team.. what does that mean?

9/24/2003 11:34:02 PM

It looks like SilverSurferNCSU and SmackerKracker have slowed down producing WU's and created another username with their powers combind: SilverSurfinSmackerKrackers.

We also have another new member: ncsutieranny Welcome to the team!

9/24/2003 11:56:34 PM

are there different work units? i have half as many work units as the persons nearest me, but have more points that a bunch of peopl

9/25/2003 12:58:07 AM

Yeah, different work units are worth different amounts of points, depending on their complexity.

9/25/2003 1:11:13 AM

I just signed up

9/25/2003 1:44:17 AM

Stonerman you are up to 16 active processors! The ramp continues...

9/25/2003 9:42:28 AM

Hehe... The machines that I installed last week are starting to send the WU's up I guess. Still... SilverSurfinSmackerCrackers is gaining on me!

9/25/2003 11:01:02 AM

The http://folding.extremeoverclocking.com/team_members.php?TeamID=59 is awesome!
I didn't realize it tells you your threats, and who/when you will overtake next!
Hehehe... Hamisnice - YOU'RE NEXT! (Sorry for the Goldberg plug... just had to)

9/25/2003 11:04:35 AM

omg look at our ramp thats ridiculous and we are adding more machines

9/25/2003 3:36:02 PM

Are you adding Lab machines or what?

9/25/2003 5:23:56 PM

no

9/25/2003 6:41:21 PM

stoner u are going down... cheap ass work computers reporting for you... the number of processors we get goes up daily

9/25/2003 11:38:47 PM

running 3, 3.5ghz ht processors plus numerous 2.0ghz+'s

9/26/2003 10:33:58 AM

I have accepted the reality that, though fighting tooth and nail, that I will eventually be overtaken by SilverSurfinSmackerCrackers. But you won't take me without a fight! <grin>

9/26/2003 11:37:20 AM

hahaha anyways how did you get some many processors? are they slow or something cause for the amount you have you are not going as fast as i expected

i think that more people should join the state team

9/26/2003 6:47:54 PM

Welcome to our new member: EvMan!
Stonerman-> 19 active processes vs. SilverSurfinSmackerKrackers-> 14 active processes

I think as far a recruiting more people, you should buy an ad banner from TWW. I think most of the people that come to the Tech Talk section have seen this thread. Maybe they are even tired of seeing it, I don't know. I guess the fact that we are still getting new members, means it is still effective.

9/27/2003 9:22:46 AM

OK.

I run a cyber cafe on Hillsborough Street (The Tek, not to plug anything), and during our closed hours, we have 16 - 3.06 P4's w/ 512MB RAM on 2 T1 lines that are not being used. I want a warm and fuzzy feeling that this is not going to crash our systems, and that it can be disabled during working hours, and I might add a little bit of Number Crunching Power.

btw: I am good with a Graphing Calc and telephone. Can I sign myself up?

9/27/2003 10:54:10 AM

holy shit you have taken the state folding team to the top have someone who knows what they are doing set up the console version of folding on your computers and they can use schedule task to start and stop it and beleive me you will def have a warm and fuzzy feeling.

9/27/2003 4:57:09 PM

^longest run-on ever

9/27/2003 5:10:24 PM

I have joined as well ... although it will take a while ... it is just running on my laptop while I sleep and it is running in low power mode. But it is still crunching protiens when possible.

9/27/2003 9:39:08 PM

thetek We would sure love to have you on board! Since you are running a business I would suggest just trying it out a a few machines first. Definatly use the console version. Run it from a directory of your choosing to set up your username and team. You might as well use www.thetek.com as your username, so at least you get some extra advertising. Use the Windows task scheduler and have it start at say 11:30PM daily. In the advanced task manager options, you can have it run for 7 hours while you are closed. Like I said just give it a try on a machine or two first. Folding runs at the lowest possible priority, so it should not effect any other programs, but since you are selling a gaming experience, I would not suggest running it during the day for now just incase there is a problem. Look forward to seeing you moving through the ranks!

9/28/2003 1:02:15 AM

or just have me or smacker come over and set it up free of charge but you have to join our team

9/28/2003 1:52:49 PM

OK, who's gonna come over here and set it up? We'll run it on a few boxes for the first few days, then if its stable, I'll put it on all 16.

Sorry, but you are too late. KRUZNBY called me up, and showed up, so I joined his team.

9/28/2003 9:29:06 PM

thats awesome... (about tehtek ) but i just looked at the extreme stats (sorry been under a rock)... but i love it. think anyone will catch KRUZNBY? tho i find it funny the whole team had a WU spike b/c of isabel.

9/29/2003 8:34:01 AM

^Good work so far. I still don't know why Stanford shows your active processors at 0. Sometime I'll post a question over at the Stanford forums. The main thing is that you are getting credit for your WU's. Actually thetek has his own username:www.thetek.com on our team, so assuming all goes well he will be making short work of everyone. I expect to be passed sometime in the Spring of 2004. Remember I had basically a 1 year start on you all.

Also welcome to sean! We are currently in 136th place and recently smoked: John Hopkins and Cornell. Illinois is next! Keep up the good work!

9/29/2003 9:29:49 AM

Yeah, the reason it shows 0 processors is that the link is wrong on the team stats page. Its b/c i used my email address (thinking it was like seti), so the link needs to be revised to:
http://folding.stanford.edu/cgi-bin/userpage?name=chemp&s=prefix

9/29/2003 10:26:23 AM

^That one says 0 too.

9/29/2003 10:28:24 AM

Isn't it ironic....
SilverSurfinSmackerKracker is set to overtake me on Oct. 22.... MY BIRTHDAY!
Oh well... Come to think of it though he'll probably overtake me sooner than that. All my machines only work during the workweek. Weekends are completely OWNED by him.
Ah well.. At least it's all for a good cause.

9/29/2003 11:50:53 AM

Hold the course and you will be fine. You never know someday you might find yourself with more firepower and if nothing else, you are right it is for a good cause.

Two more new members: tolivealie and LeGo! Welcome to the team. We are starting to haul a$$ now.

If your CPU supports Hyper-Threading, here is some info you should know about.

F@H runs at the lowest possible priority to only use unused CPU cycles. This worked fine until hyper-threading (HT) came along. With HT enabled now priorities are less relevant as the OS thinks you have 2 CPU's. In this case F@H may take away some cycles from other CPU intensive programs, even though the task manager will report 50% CPU usage (I don't have a HT CPU, but this is what I have read in some of the forums linked below). If this is a concern, either disable HT or close F@H when you launch these applications.

5-15% Speed Boost By Running 2 Instances of F@H Console on a HT Enabled CPU*
If you really want to maximize your WU production, 2 instances run in separate directories with different Machine ID numbers can increase you total output. This may have some of the drawbacks as mentioned above with other CPU intensive programs.

From the Folding@Home discussion board:
http://forum.folding-community.org/viewtopic.php?t=5014&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight=hyperthreading&start=0

Quote :

"Here is how HT compare to non-HT. Just my .02 If I run only one F@H on HT enable assume it takes 9 minutes per step. If I run two F@Hs one on client version and second on Console Version. It will take only 16 minutes per step. So that is about 17% faster when compare with 2 WUs. HT enable or HT disable, this I believe will make no different if you run only one F@H. The CPU usage that you see about 50% if you run only one F@H on HT enable, infact that system is run at 100% CPU. HT enable is good for first dedicated folding system and other general uses It's not a good idea for ppl who run softwares which rely on CPU only like capturing/encoding video becuz those software are suffered from loosing part of CPU to F@H. BTW I have two 2.6C folding as I described."

Again I have no experience with HT, I'm just passing on what I have read in some of the forums. If any of you have/not noticed any problems with your HT CPU feel free to report them here.
Also welcome to our new member: mellocj!

9/30/2003 2:12:39 PM

well i am an experienced ht folder with 3, 3.5ghz ht enabled machines, what i do is run two consoles on each machine and then set the afinity of each one too a diff processor and that is how we crank them out so fast at team silversurfinsmackerkrackers, so actually our team is only running on 10 processors not the 13 that is being recorded

9/30/2003 8:29:43 PM

any reason why thetek hasnt shown up in the stats? thats kinda disappointing i was waiting for a good fight

10/5/2003 4:56:37 PM

I can only assume they decided not to run it, or have been too busy to try it out. I installed it on one machine for them to give it a try. If they continued to run it, they should have turned in a few WU's by now. I hope they don't give up!

10/5/2003 5:23:33 PM

Running f@h with two consoles on an ht cpu is pretty disgusting, but if you have process that need your cpu a lot then it starts to slow you down alot. What i do is whenever i do something like capture video or work on something intense i turn fah off. I started doing this when i noticed i was only using 50% of my cpu using that graphical version, i think that has something to do with ht not being able to use both processors on a single application. If you set your affinity of your fah consoles to a certain cpu i think that keeps fah a lot more stable because theres actually two processes for each console the FAH3.25 Console and FahCore_78, u can see those if you lookin in task manager and at your processes. So if you set each pair to one cpu, you'll be folding faster.

10/6/2003 3:03:43 AM

I think we're gonna set our goal to be 1st place by the end of the year... you think thats possible?

10/6/2003 3:05:39 AM

I think our 1st goal should be to win the ACC title! Currently Georgia Tech is in 81st place:
http://folding.extremeoverclocking.com/team_overview.php?TeamID=10971
We are outproducing them currently, but not by much. At this pace we would not pass them until late in 2005.

[Edited on October 6, 2003 at 10:39 AM. Reason : 81]

10/6/2003 10:37:43 AM

at the rate we are going it looks like we should be in the top 100 soon, by years end... our weekly numbers compare with those in the top 75. Might need a few more cpu's on board to get to number one Or better yet a huge power outage in australia.

hopefully acc champs will come sooner than 05...

10/6/2003 11:46:37 AM

OMG, Poland is in 107th place, NCSU is going to pass my native country

10/6/2003 11:25:41 PM
