Thread: Folding@home - The T-I Team

I'm running the GPU version on my PC's because of the larger work units being done in the same time. Would I also benefit from running the CPU version for those few, smaller units; Or would the extra load (even though it is on a different PU) slow the processing, negating any extra units done?

Does anyone know?



@FranticD, you're kicking dude. How many PC's have you got running F@H?

Cheers.

CapppyHamper,

I've tried both ways and it certainly will kick out more points if you are running the CPU and GPU clients at the same time. The GOU client uses very little CPU overhead so it's really not an issue. Just make sure that in you configuration options for the GPU client that you set the CPU priority to slightly higher.

As for Clients:
1 GTX 285 OC'd
1 GTX 295 OC'd
1 Mobile 7950GTX
3 Intel E6750's OC'd (2 Desktops, Laptop)
1 2.5Ghz Core 2 Duo (Mac)
1 PS3
1 Buddies craptastic PC

I've had to take down the laptops though as they were having major heat issues. When I get a chance I am gonna take some of my clients and friends machines hostage, although that may take awhile. I was tempted to break into my old college and install it on all the old machines there, but after some consideration I'm not sure that that's such a great idea. I also have a couple old 8800GTX's that I might thrown into a low end PC but I don't have the heat blocks for them anymore as they used to be watercooled and I don't have another watercooling system to throw them in now. If anyone want em, lemme know and i'll send em out to ya for free.

The sad thing is that I run a IT firm and we have this one client that we built 50 high end graphics machines for so that they could view images of CAT scans in 3D. I want sooooo bad to put folding on them but the client refuses to connect them to the internet due to patient privacy concerns. They would totally kick ass as they are all kick ass SLI rigs. Eh well.

I just wanted to post here that the T-I Folding team has reached a sub 10k Rank (9312 of 170177). That's pretty good going for a small team.
I seem to recall coldflame saying that once we reach a rank of 10,000 we can get an auto generated sig or something like that?
Anyway, great work team.
Cheers.

We're now at 8145.

On another note, I just paid for an affiliate link at the bottom of the TI pages, linking back to here. Hopefully some more people will participate.

Joined! However for now only with my Macbook pro (2.26 Ghz)..
However as soon as possible i will add my desktop (Dual core OC'ed to 4.7 Ghz + 260 GTX), which has alot of idle time anyway, so it'll pretty much be doing folding 24/7..

And as for heat, im getting 80C om my macbook with the fan at 100%, so yeah it's quite intensive for laptops..

This is a great thing to be apart of. Count me in too ;>

just installed the client and entered the team number. Hopefully will contribute to a noble cause.

One question though, I've used the same username as on the forums, but there's lots of other people with a similar nickname. Would it be ok to add numbers or something to the username to make it more unique and not share the stats with others ?

Just signed up to this. I used to use something similar to this years ago, its great to give something back to society.

Unfortunately my GPU is crap and not supported, but ive just put it on PS3 as well, damn that things quick compared to PC version, granted I cant play games, but it wont do me any harm to do something productive for a change.

I was a bit dissapointed to see only 50 or so members of the team though, this is a pretty active forum I would have hoped for more. Are there any incentives/motivation in the pipeline to get more people using this? Perhaps a prerequisite of using folding@home before you can get access to high-level invites?

Just an idea, please feel free to shoot me down :)

I've climbed on board with the GPU client on a 8800GTX. I'll look into getting the CPU client on my Q6600 @ ~3.0ghz , Just seems a little more complicated than what I want to deal with at the moment. I'll also be certain to run it on my PS3 when I can.

Happy Folding!

EDIT: That wasn't so bad actually, Q6600 @ 3.0ghz folding now as well

joined not to long ago wow we are at 6450 of 171314 with 16 of us workin at it. hey i forget it is running most of the time join up its fun and helps. Maybe if we hit 3000 staff can give us a little somthin
