Its funny... that was a subconscious typo. I meat to say and spell "cash". I guess I had cache on the brain for some reason. :rolleyes:
BTW congrats on 3rd place :D

Hey Trilarian... Where'd you go?
So, I just realized that I will have been folding for 4 years at the end of this month and I'm closing in on 4,000 work units.
As I've mentioned before, I just hope that all of this eventually leads to some big breakthrough in fighting diseases such as cancer and MS and Alzheimer's, etc...
It would be a little disconcerting to find out that the real reason for the project was to provide processing power for some new Holo Deck gaming technology where the people at Stanford are the only people having fun with it!! ;)
Not to worry, he has been putting our cycles to good use:

Does anyone know if there's a way to limit the % of cpu F@H will use under linux? I know in windows this is an option, because windows doesnt do 'niceness' the way *nix does.
Basically I'd like to still contribute, but I dont want my cpu & gpu at 100% all the time. For one thing, I want this hardware to last, fans included, secondly, its a quad-core phenom and a radeonhd 4600, they can soak up quite a bit of power, and then there's the noise factor...Doesn't bother me, but it bothering my girlfriend at night bothers me ;)
Any thoughts appreciated

Description: limits the cpu usage of a process
cpulimit is a simple program that attempts to limit the cpu usage of a
process (expressed in percentage, not in cpu time). This is useful to
control batch jobs, when you don't want them to eat too much cpu. It does
not act on the nice value or other priority stuff, but on the real cpu
usage. Besides it is able to adapt itself to the overall system load,
dynamically and quickly.

You wanna know what sucks!!!???
Well, besides living in a small Bachelor Quarters room with 12 computers running and the A/C on Max Blast and the temp only getting down to 76 degrees. Or, getting your whole computer parts order from newegg, except the case....

As soon as my case gets here I'll be building a Core 2 Quad machine (which was within my budget) and give away my old, slow crappy Pentium 4 machines and Pentium 3 machine and AMD Athlon 3000+ machine. So much heat, and so little work units! :cool:
That will leave me with the following machines, an Atom 230 (single core), Atom 330 (dual core), Pentium 4 (overclocked by about 15%, ok, I'll keep this one), a dual core E2140, a Core i7 920, a core 2 duo T8300, a core 2 Extreme X7900, and a soon to be core 2 quad Q9400.
Now, here's the part where you go... :eek:
I have a single phone line with a 56K US Robotics modem.
(I'm outta control!) ;)
haha... what's the limiting factor here?
:D
Wanna know what else sucks....

Long time no post....
OK, so, my room was getting really hot. I've shut down 7 computers.
And I'm still number 2 !!!!!! :D
Where'd je_fro go?!?!?
:cool:
I'm having heat issues of my own :(
My good PSU died and I bought a dud at Fry's that I need to replace because of poor cooling.
This Sucks!
Luckily, most of my crunching gets done in the server closet at work and thats got AC in it. But things do heat up at home, especially during this intermediate period where we try not to run the AC for as long as possible leading up to summer. At home I really only have two boxes always crunching plus my laptop. I have a large fan that directs air out of the office into the halway and that helps but later on in the season I'll likely cut off the 2nd box and just leave up the server.
I sure wish the prices would come down on the QC server procs. I'd really like to do an upgrade.
Cheers,
Mike
