Help fight cancer with F@H! join team ECF today!!!!!!

If your machine is running hot and/or lagging, it's the GPU you need to adjust. That is your graphics card.

This program is very GPU labor intensive, but easy on your CPU. I had to turn off GPU usage in the "expert" config settings for my 5 year old rig, and lower my quad core usage.

there are gpu and cpu versions still i think. many of the screen shots i see are the client version, it gives you more control but i run the simple .exe version.

I wa sitting home and said ehh theres a lot of peeps on ECF maybe a couple would band with me so i decided to ask if it was cool to use the ECF name and OS said yea sure why not, and i went to work the next day thinking well thats cool maybe i can pick up 8-9 peeps. and then i logged in the next day and see the banner, and all the people jumping in and went "oh wow!" I never expected this, and it has absolutely blown me away.
thanks everyone for making my year!
Lets kick some .... and become one of the top teams in the world heh!

Thanks to thrasher for bringing this to my attention. I am going to be telling everyone that I know to get F@H and help as well. I almost wanna make cards I can hand out to friends,family and strangers to spread the word about this awesome chance to help a great cause. I hadn't ever heard of it before, I asked my roommates if they had known or heard anything and they didn't know either. I really wanna spread the word

Agreed, it has been so long since i have folded. I was on one of the over clocking forums when I was doing it. I have a couple servers down stairs that I might fire up and get folding!

if you are running Debian you'll find that you'll want to run wheezy(7.0 - Debian testing) rather than Sarge (stable) because the v7 folding client won't work well on Sarge and the v6 client though stable is pretty low return per core. the work units i'm getting off V6 on a srge server are pretty low in point value but the big picture is they are completed work units. Points are a vanity thing, getting work units done for the projects is the real reward.

I am in and set, I think this a great cause

 

[wonderland]

I'm in too. I've never heard of this and think it's just awesome!

 

[wonderland]

Quick question:
(Please excuse my lack of computer knowledge ) If my computer "sleeps" does it interrupt its ability to progress through the task and send results?

X_P3_FE reported in for duty!

 

[bob1960]

I folded for CETI research a few years back, But I am in one this one for ECF. Thanks.

 

[Lowstorm]

Cool! I'm all in.

Quick question. When I finish one computation, does it automatically start a new one?

 

[MrPicC]

I'm in. THis thing sits here all day anyway so why shouldn't I help..

 

[wonderland]

My first work unit completed last night! This is extremely cool. For those that got this ball rolling here at ECF, thank you!!

 

[Paislia]

Ok, looks like I got it running
Thanks for asking questions in this thread guys - sped my startup quite a bit

 

[MzBadger]

Count me in too!! 2 units incoming, one in 4 or so hours and another in a day. Woot!

Ok finally got the time to find out how to change the CPU settings. I tried it on my laptop at home, and it pegged out the processors for the dual core. I'll try tonight and get another machine up and running for additional help with this project. Thanks to all those before, who have already asked and answered the questions for me. I spoke with one of the Bio Professors yesterday and he said that this is a great breakthrough for science. Tip of the hat to all those involved.

 

[beebopnjazz]

Cool! I'm all in.

Yes it does! Mine runs 2 at a time and right before 1 finishes - the next one is added as "ready"...once complete it sends it off and the "ready" becomes "running"

 

[X P3 Flight Engineer]

I'm running dual processors at 100% on a FiberOp connection and this is like watching a down load on dial-up! Lol

I can't even imagine the size of this! And the size of the Team combined! And the contribution of Fold@Home!

I have to sit down now! My head hurts!

Bravo Zulu ECF!

 

[Duranu]

Saw this and just had to join in the team. Remoted my home computer from work and got it already running a WU. Should finish the first one in just under three and a half hours.

 

[Adrena]

In and running! HOOT >,<
