Yeah it is a bit of a pain in the .... with the older Linux command line client. Actually I should probably post over at the f@h forum and get someone from the team to help me out because somewhere I have something misconfiged. I'm only averaging 200ish points per unit and they all have been turned in early. granted a bunch of them are uniprocessor but I did change two of my Linux boxes to smp but still haven't seen any bonus points.

That's what I am averaging too. As long as the work gets done I don't really care about the points. It's Great to be part of the Team, though!
We are going to eat this elephant, one bite at a time! Every bite makes a difference.

Sounds like Team ECF is going to start climbing the ladder :)

We have already passed 210,000 teams and we only have 70 people on the scoreboard, so far.
When the rest of ECF hops on board, Wow!

Each Work Unit is only a drop in the bucket, but we all know that each 20 drops is another ml. Lol

Uniprocessor is slower?

Sort of, since it only uses one processor they can give you more complex units that may fail when split up in smp mode.
but usually you can just run 1 uni per core and the units will just be smaller with less point but faster finishing units.

58 hrs in and I'm 32% complete. I'm pretty sure this is not gonna finish in 5.5 days . . . . . do I have to wait for it to time out and reassign on its own?

Anybody got an answer for me? I've been folding since the morning of the 6th, and am still only at 48.7% complete on my first WU. this thing is NOT going to be done in less than 2 days, and has already passed the "time out" date, but not the "expiration" which is 12/11.

I cannot answer as I have never seen this before, i would let it run till the expire date and see what happens, cant imagine they would give you a unit you cant finish.

Yeah but I dont have a button on that world map.Im gonna to kill the process and start over and see if that helps.

*update that did the trick, thanks for all the fast and helpful replies.Proud to be a part of this team and to help make a difference.

How delightfully ironic would it be if Team ECF ended up being the team to find the cure for lung cancer? Come to think of it some of us (myself included) probably already feel like we have but you know what I mean :)

I am running a WU now but no matter what I set my CPU usage % to I seem to get a 60 -100% CPU usage. I have set it as low as 15% and rebooted and am currently seeing 60% CPU usage. When I pause the WU my CPU usage drops to 1 - 5%. What am I doing wrong? I really want to help but my PC sounds like it is about to take off with the fan running that much and I do not want to fry my computer.

when you change the speed, you only have to close the program and start again and not reboot the pc.

If you know what kind of slots are you running SMP or UNI? and what kind of cpu do you have, dual core, quad core, hex core etc.

15% and 60% - hmm im betting you have a quad core pc? if in smp mode this is the percentage for each core 4X15 is 60.

just guessing as i noticed it was for each core when i ran smp mode. and 20% gave me 40% on my dual core laptop cpu meter.

I have all three computers loaded up running GPU and SMP. I am seeing substantial lag. How do I mess with the settings? These computers all have i7 980 hexacores and GTX 580s. One is running SLI 580x2. Other two are running 1 580. All of them are running 12GB of RAM. Should I be seeing this kind of lag?

From what I understand, the lag is from the GPU usage. I run SMP at 100% and have no lag at all. Others can help you more. I just wanted to give a quick shout because I know it can be frustrating.

Hang in there! Help is on the way.

I been having the same problem,no matter where i put the slider at.What i did is my set my cpu to use less cores,i have a quad core so i use smp 6, it's about 70% usage.
