Sigh... so many misconceptions in this thread.

Folding@home (folding for short) is a program that analyzes how protiens assemble themselves, or "fold". When they misfold you get various harmful anomalys like cancer, alzhimers etc. Folding can be run both on the CPU and GPU.

World Community Grid (WCG) which we call "crunching" for short for some reason is a program that runs many different tasks. There's stuff about muscular distrophy, curing cancer, fighting AIDS and even growing rice.

People say folding is for GPUs and crunching is for CPUs because WCG only runs on processors, not video cards. However F@H runs on both, so most people who run these programs run F@H for the GPU client and WCG to utilize thier processors.

that was what i wanted to hear ;-)

btw, lets see if i can raise my electricity bill... got like 10 work units ready today... im surely not very far from folding stability

dude the AMD rig was a donor rig. IF I will not use it, I have to return it to my buddy who was kind enough to give it to me. Sorry

Its cool I wish you luck hope things get better :toast:

Velvet Wafer · Jul 16, 2009

at least my quad crunches very well... i suppose...

p_o_s_pc · Jul 16, 2009

not bad is that in 1 day?

"Number crunching," no idea where it originated in terms of being applied to WCG.

I refer to the work as "tasks" (what they are labeled in BOINC). A task is synonymous with "work unit" in F@H. It is a set of operations to be executed and, upon completion, returned.

My computers are processing 16 tasks right now.

well, I got FPL coming to check the meter hopefully tomorrow. If they say that my bill was a mistake and that is is not the $328 that they are billing, then I will put my rigs back up, BOTH!

I'll keep you guys posted.

The kittens are praying that it is a mistake....

I hope it's a mistake too... But if not I understand completely.

Velvet Wafer · Jul 17, 2009

i made 4000th points in 24hours crunching time... nice :nutkick:

p_o_s_pc · Jul 17, 2009

I have tested and tested this rig for stability but i keep getting errors what could be going on? It has passed hours of Intel burn test and OCCT also Memtest

stanhemi · Jul 17, 2009

my q9550 @ 4100mhz keep getting error even if it pass 10 row of linpack. :banghead:

i downclock to 3.9 and it ok now.try to downclock a little :ohwell:

I will try that. I will also up my ram voltage slightly.

EDIT: I lowered the bus speed from 267 to 264 ram voltage from 1.85 to 2v CPU voltage from 1.21 to 1.23v lets see if that stops the errors

Everything's all set. WCG systems GO!

What's the word CP? Did they make a mistake?

they didn't make it out today, they never do when they tell you. Monday it is, lets see "crosses fingers"

Chicken Patty · Jul 17, 2009

well I figured two or three days won't hurt until they re read the meter and confirm if the bill stands or not.

So im back up until they read the meter and they give me either the good or bad news
however, all default settings. keep the room cool and not pull as much power.

Chicken Patty · Jul 17, 2009

and this means my AMD rig too!

Velvet Wafer · Jul 18, 2009

that a64 got excessive voltage... it should run that clock with about 1.0v... if i remember right, and your chip isnt too bad. if you wanna save money, maybe this is a good place to start. it surely are bits, but in end this could matter...

rock on :nutkick:

p_o_s_pc · Jul 18, 2009

not sure about 1v but it should do atleast 1.3v and i'm sure the i7 will do lower volts too

well thing with i7 when it throttles down it goes to 1.058v due to speedstep so its fine.

the amd I cant lower the voltage. I can only raise.

what do i need to run boinc on ubuntu

Velvet Wafer · Jul 18, 2009

thats bad news...

no tool for your chipset?

cliffinokc · Jul 18, 2009

its not for my pc in my pro file

have you tired WINE?

good luck and happy crunching :toast:
