Have you even gotten to the point of entering your username & team name?
Is it locking up after you attempt to start it for the first time?

i start it then it just locks up. i gotta use the task manager to close it down.

What did you set the core priority to? It should be set to low. SOmetimes it will try to default to idle/normal.

when i woke up this morning it was on 71% but then 2 hrs later it was at 91% so I don't know if it completed one over night and started a new one or if my computer went into hybernation overnight (i have it set so it never sleeps).

Is there a progress tracker or anything (I haven't looked at it at all yet)

I used to do seti@home (you know the search for extra-terestial Intelligence)

But that seems a little less helpfull to mankind.

Its never really at a constant rate. Did you get the GUI version or console?
http://folding.stanford.edu <- check your stats
www.em-dc.com <- Electron Microscope It monitors the console version and the GUI version.

For the progress tracker, you can just open the DOS window that's folding. It will tell you the % done. Or, I prefer to go to www.em-dc.com and download EMIII to track.

Get the text console and EMIII like I recommended. Less compatability issues.

I dl'd the console version....

I was actually concerned with how many chunks It had completed not the percentage of the chunk that's done.

IE.. in seti@home it keeps track of how many chunks of data you've crunched. (i was up to 88 when i stopped).

The http://folding.stanford.edu site will tell you. Just search for your user name.

You can check the folding site, search for a program called StatsGrabber, us EMIII, or many other fold monitors to check your points.

Each protein is worth different points, depending on complexity, etc. Find that info here: http://folding.stanford.edu/psummary.html

hmm so after i installed it it doesn't tell me that it does anything. i have 2 console windows running and nothing chages there

Just run 1 console.

Check to make sure 100% of CPU is being used.

Let it sit. Minimize it and check it again later. It will say it completed some frames. Best thing is to go to www.em-dc.com, download EMIII and let it hide the window and monitor your progress for you.

that's the program that locks

how am i supposed to set it up ?

Try running EMIII with a -clear switch. That resets everything. It should work then. The creator also said that its possible for it to freeze for around 30sec and then be fine again if there are bad settings.

So i saw it was for a good cause, bam, hopped on it... so now it's going.. I'll set my home machine up later, nd maybe others down the road.

Doesn't seem to be doing anything though.

can you check the stats for me ? i'm hondaman008 and i did like 16 frames so far. i'm just curious

Sounds fun, I think i'll set it up when I get home

Very cool, thanks for joining.

It takes awhile to do anything, and a work unit can take over 24hrs to complete on a slower machine. Check your CPU usage. If the core is using 95+%, you're set!

Stats only reflect completed work units. You'll have to finish one first, and it takes a little bit for them to get posted.

So 25 hrs later on an athlon 1800+ I have folded one work unit and am 63 percent done with the next.

Look at all that wonderful cpu power that was going to waste.

does anyone know how to bring the program from the stealt mode ?

Yep. It takes alot to do those sims.

Everything you want to know about EMIII:
http://home.attbi.com/~wxdude1/emsite/help/index.html

To answer your question, press and hold the scroll lock key for as long as 30 seconds until the program pops back up.

Who's running EM...?

Is it worth setting up?

I am. Its easy to setup and well worth it. It will also monitor multiple computers across a network.

Yeah it is. Like 94_AcCoRd_EX said, its nice to monitor the computers on the network. That & it hides the console version. Definately a plus.

But does the EM use up and clock %, cause the console version of F@H uses up 20% here and there?

If you set it up correctly (priority: idle, cpu usage: 100%), the core won't use anything when you're using the computer and it will use 98-99% when you're not.

EMIII uses very little cpu cycles and its well worth it for me to monitor the 3 folding machines I have on my network.

Sw33t... The protien i'm working on will be complete on June 28th of 2003... LMFAO!!

Huh? Maybe if you're on a 286CPU. The proteins have deadlines, listed in the link I gave Stefan.

What speed CPU do you have?

I had opened something right as it was starting, so it was only getting like 10% cpu... I closed everything and started it again, it'll be done at 1AM.... Celeron 900 on that machine.

OK, much better :D

Is there a way to get the F@H DOS window to not show up period?

http://folding.stanford.edu/cgi-bin/...name=VUG-Death

WOOOT!!

Are you using EMIII? If so, close the folding DOS window (CNTL+C) check the box in the option that says start FAH3 automatically and check the box that says Hide FAH3 window in the EMIII options. That's all there is to it.

Then you just start EMIII to fold.

I noticed that if i run the DOS console and EM3, that it takes longer to complete a frame. WTF is up with that?

It shouldn't. Could just be that its a harder WU.

harder?? that doesn't make sense. I've had the same WU be working at about 5 mins a frame, then open up em3 and have the frame jump up to about 12-15 mins. I've tried opening em3 with the console at the same time, over 30 mins per frame... this is al within the same WU... So i guess i'm just going to run the console by itself...

If you have EMIII set to open FAH automatically, it might open an additional instance. Either start the console, leave it showing (not minimized), and start EMIII. This will have EMIII just hide it (assuming you've checked those options). EMIII doesn't impact frame times, it just reads the log file. Something else is wrong.

ahh it doesn't matter. I've tried opening them at different times, it still slows it down... I don' care though.

Well if you have a check mark next to the path (ie - c:\F@H\) it will start F@H again. This is the area that you set up your "Box".
Make sure that you either uncheck this or do not have F@H previous to starting EMIII.

Dude, you don't need to open them separately. Open EMIII, goto options, click 'start FAH automatically'. Look on your main options page where it lists your computer name, make sure there's a check in the box by your computer (tells EMIII its local and not networked). Then just start EMIII to start FAH.

Yeah, I know what you mean. I only have one window (instance) running at one time. I've checked in the device manager and i can see the F@H, and it's using 100% cpu usage.

So how many computers are you guys running this on??

I have three going.

http://folding.stanford.edu/cgi-bin/...name=VUG-Death

I have 6 computers running it. Stats are below....

I'm running 3 full time and 1 part time. The 3 full time are AMD systems, and they beat intels in folding times by a good amount.

Woohoo!
 

Got my dual Xeon back up & running.
Current Progress
Kinda neat what EM does. Don't know how to work the 'All Stats' option. Seems to just make a blank page.
All Stats

I'll somehow add the others at work to the list.

Re: Woohoo!
 

That's pretty cool. Are you using the EM web server, or are you using your own?

Re: Re: Woohoo!
 

My own. Sorry, but I can't trust or rely on something that is unproven. Gotta stick to what works.

I jsut added al my work machines. They should all show up now.

Re: Re: Re: Woohoo!
 

The last one gives me a big red x

Re: Re: Re: Re: Woohoo!
 

Yeah I saw that. I think its a bug. Not sure.

OMG I currently have a WU with 6000 frames in it.. is that even possible?
