1Frothy Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 I just joined this project. I'm not 100% clear about the project but it seems to be a worthy thing. So why not! :D Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/548246-join-neowin-foldinghome-group/page/9/#findComment-589179408 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elliot B. Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 Apparently my first work unit will take until May! What the hell? I have to wait until May until I appear on the website?

Are you sure you aren't reading the deadline? It shouldn't take that long considering your system.

jelli Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 Guessing you must have been using your CPU cycles when you viewed the ETA, remember the program only uses up idle CPU cycles so if something else is using it the ETA will increase due to the lack of idle CPU cycles.

jelli Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 Also a little note to people, the beta clients were updated in the past couple of days, so if you shutdown your system (talking about PCs here, not PS3s) and then try to restart your client it will refuse to start, you have to go and download the updated client. When you update your client simply by overwriting the files in the Folding@Home directory, you will not waste your current progress in the work unit.

one321 Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 I've been folding a lot more ever since the most recent PS3 firmware update. I love that I can set the PS3 to shut off after it finishes the current work unit (WU). I'm much more willing to let it run while I sleep knowing it will shut off at like 3AM when it finishes.

+StevoFC MVC Posted February 2, 2008 MVC Share Posted February 2, 2008 Yeah the auto shut off is good. But i wish there was a way to make it start up at a specific time also. I always forget to turn my ps3 on before i go to work.

I always forget to turn my ps3 on before i go to work. Yeah - either that or being able to use WakeOnLan to turn on the PS3 and boot into XMB, then after 10mins it would autostart F@H.. I tried it - it turned on the PS3 but it booted into some remote play PSP thingy :( Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/548246-join-neowin-foldinghome-group/page/9/#findComment-589180947 Share on other sites More sharing options...

+StevoFC MVC Posted February 7, 2008 MVC Share Posted February 7, 2008 damn, the server problems are starting to **** me off. I turned on my ps3 this morning before I left for work and it's not connecting again. I'm not going to leave my ps3 on all day if it's doing absolutely nothing. I'm not even going to try folding with the ps3 anymore if they don't fix it soon.

So far they seem to have worked out where the problems are and are tweaking the servers to alleviate the problems as best they can until a new version of the client can be released.

KoL Veteran Posted February 13, 2008 Veteran Share Posted February 13, 2008 One of my Playstation have been folding without problems since yesterday. The other one didn't upload the WU and I stopped folding with that one. I'm going to wait until Sony have the client update ready.

Wannes Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 I haven't been able to fold in the last few days because of my Playstation 3 being away. I still don't see my name showing up on the page even though I've completed 3 tasks.

jelli Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 Thats correct StevoFC, i am running the SMP client on a Q6600 @ 3GHz It gives around 1800 points per work unit and a work unit takes around 18 Hours to complete. As for the large number of points per work unit i am not exactly sure why that is but according to the F@H FAQ this is the reason.
