Soloman Tump Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 I dont think of it as cheating... Its just making use of spare computing power as it should be! There are a couple of other computers I could leave on as well.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baph Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 i've got my 3.4 GHz i7 iMac in on this now. Dat fan noise tho. Working on some bryostatin for science and watmm. syrostatin I think I broke the FAHviewer though; it was working fine for an hour or so until i started playing with +/- to rotate and then it suddenly started displaying a blank with one intermittently displaying frame. Couldn't get it back to normal. edit: FAHviewer now working normally for no reason edit2: wait, no, it's just showing one snapshot that's rotating. Is that normal? I dunno. Been a long time since I played around with this in school. FAHpls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
usagi Posted February 10, 2015 Author Share Posted February 10, 2015 I'm on tha bryostatin too, with my cpu the gpu's crunching some cancer-related kinase. my fans run full speed at all times. it's a pity it's summer because I've basically got a heating system here. I don't use the FAHviewer very much tbh because when the gpu's running full blast it's pretty stuttery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baph Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 You are correct. Sucks the GPU slot doesn't work on OSX. I mean, this i7 is burning through shit now with all 8 cores, but I ain't gonna be usagi-level. Hey, wot's the deal with only getting like 100 points or so for the first few WU's? I mean it doesn't matter because science, but I am confused. I guess I should read the FAH forum, but I don't want to read the FAH forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
usagi Posted February 11, 2015 Author Share Posted February 11, 2015 I believe when you first start folding, the system throws various low-level WUs at you and tests your performance (i.e. how long you take to finish them), then it starts giving you bigger, more computationally-expensive WUs and keeps ramping up until you hit your ceiling. they really ought to capitalise on other GPU types as well. especially onboard Intel graphics which are everywhere. I was hoping it'd be possible to run onboard + the discrete video card as two gpus for Fah, but not so. but they're constantly developing new cores and platforms so there is hope. they recently released Fah for Android.

Makes sense. For some reason I was getting estimated points at a couple thousand and then only getting a couple hundred. Maybe the estimates only work accurately when I'm running on all cores or something. I dialed it down a bit yesterday. Probably for the best not to push the iMac too hard -- the cooling is pretty impressive for such a compact unit (lol) but blasting the GPU along with the i7 might be a bit too much.

usagi Posted February 22, 2015 Author Share Posted February 22, 2015 two! two million points! ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soloman Tump Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Your computer must be pretty stonking. Im on 52 work units at about 1000 points per unit... fairly lowly considering what you are churning out! two! two million points! ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
usagi Posted February 24, 2015 Author Share Posted February 24, 2015 it's just cos I have a video card, those things do way more. s'all about the group effort, yo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baph Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 I don't think my iMac loves me ramping up the fans constantly with iStat but one of my processor cores gets up to 102 C without it. Yowza McBowza. That's folding on low, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soloman Tump Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 We broke the 5 million mark! Kind of a biased team effort with 4+ million coming from one CPU, but never mind. *edit* Also, I think the flepbird link is dead :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
usagi Posted December 10, 2015 Author Share Posted December 10, 2015 yeah :( I haven't been on FAH for quite a while, should set it up again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

usagi Posted April 30, 2018 Author Share Posted April 30, 2018 I'm back into this. I had GPU problems with Folding in the intervening years which I couldn't figure out and left for a long time but a weekend of curiosity led to discovering that it's because FAH is very sensitive to overclocking GPUs. dialed it down a bit and it's not failing anymore. team WATMM ID is still valid if anyone's keen to get back in.
