First off - If you are running FAH on a laptop, you need to get a cooling pad because FAH runs warm.

To change CPU usage open your FAHControl. Open it then change your Novice dropdown to Expert. Then check on your configuration tab, then the Advance tab. You can also select the project you want to do most of your work for.

Thanks but I'm running this program on my PC and I don't see this dropdown box.

Open to full screen - the drop down box is there.

I am running on a laptop - it's warm! This laptop usually runs cool....guess the software is really running through it's paces.

Terry, Resize your page for the FAHControl and make it wider. Where you see that little arrow is your drop down to select expert and advance and novice.

Duh! No wonder I couldn't see that box. Thank you.

Now I have CPU set at 20% (I just picked a number) and my PC fan has slowed down a little. I expected it to slow down a lot. I also chose which disease I wanted but still don't see that it's doing anything. I don't see a project being worked on but maybe that just takes time.

Thanks Sash but beebopnjazz beat you.

Does it say running or ready? Mine was not instantaneous yesterday when I loaded the software.....

Wow, I remember doing cluster computing for the Seti project back in the late 90s. Time to start putting my hex-core processor to work for once ... count me in! Bravo to bringing this to ECF btw!

And so it begins!

It says running. The logs says

<!-- Folding Slots -->
21:08:40: <slot id='0' type='UNIPROCESSOR'/>
21:08:40:</config>

And current work unit says Project:10732 Run: 0

Anyone else running on a Mac? I get no options for CPU scaling, or anything like that. Even under the expert tab.

Not like it's taxing my system or anything. not even close. only using about 5% at most. Just wondering.

 

[beebopnjazz]

I don't remember if I had to hit the "fold" button.......

 

[sashwa]

Terry, Change your cpu usage to 50%. Then at the top of your FAHControl page, click on the fold icon. See if that helps.

Here are the guides for advanced options:

Linux: Folding@home - LinGuide
Windows: Folding@home - WinGuide


The Mac guide is under progress but might be somewhat similar to the Window version for some options.
(GUI seems similar) I had to maximize the client window to get the Advanced option.

That didn't do anything for me.

What gets me is there doesn't seem to be a project running even though status says running and I have a project # but it shows no progress and no project description and my PC is still running at 100%. So what the hell is it doing? That's a rhetorical question.

I'm folding on my iMac. Change your mode to expert. Then click on Configure. Then go to the advance tab.

Terry, try re-booting and see if that helps.

Done. Didn't seem to change anything.

They sort of hide it ... the window size at default is small so just drag an edge to make it bigger and you should see the selection box.

No MAC guide... Windows GUI seems similar to OSX???!! THIS... IS... OUTRAGE!!!!!!

I tolerate this insolence for peace between our peoples and the fight against cancer....​

Hehe ... well, the purpose of the project isn't really to provide a pretty and candy like gui. It's what is running in the background that's important.
