40C under load on a P4 is just fine. That's cooler than any of my overclocked CPU's have ever run in fact.

40C under load on a P4 is just fine. That's cooler than any of my overclocked CPU's have ever run in fact.
I don't think that's too hot at all. My opterons stay at 45-50C all the time. The core2's stay about that hot too :)
I have a AMD 2500+ and it rarely goes above 100F. Of course, I got a HUGE heat sink on it too. I have seen some that run a lot hotter than that and do fine. Shouldn't be a problem unless that specific CPU has a heat issue.
:D :D :D :D
Ok gents, I'm headed for the top 3! The data says Ill be there at around 6 months. But I'm ordering a new server today and I suspect thats gonna drop considerably.
The new machine will have 2x Quad core 2.33Ghz so I should be able to do a bit more units per week.
BTW, has there been any benchmarking on the types of proc/mem/32/64 combinations that crunch those units the fastest? Id be curious.
The server is for work so I wouldn't change it (well. . .).
Cheers
Mike
They go into great depth about benchmarking and optimizing over at the folding forums.
I have the new server up and running and the results show its cranking out the points pretty well.

I actually have another 2way barebones server to add too, so as soon as I get the procs and ram well really be cookin. Are you guys with PS3's out there running the Folding client?
Thanks for the tip on the forums JeFro.
Cheers
Mike
Holy crap! 16000+ points this week and its only Tuesday. This new server is crankin! First place in 3.4 months and I think thats gonna drop too.

how do you get started with this stuff I downloaded a folding program but dont know how to get it running
Start here: http://folding.stanford.edu/
Make sure you join team 36480.
Its very simple to start running it. Let us know if you have any trouble.
Cheers
Mike
I think it's as simple as editing your client.cfg file and launching
./foldingathome
bump
I'm still folding.
It's sad to see us slip in the standings. I've watched us move from like 127th place to 170th something place.
Not to worry... it's cyclical. I still think we'll hit the top 100 someday :)
Well, I aquired a Dell Vostro computer with a 64bit E2410(I think), or maybe E2140, core 2 duo processor. It has Winders Vister on it. I bought another hard drive and installed it and then installed Ubuntu 7.10 64bit on that. I go out to folding.stanford.edu and download the 64bit console file. It's a .tgz file. I untarred it, 'tar xzvf', and chmod +x the fah6 file that unzipped. Then I 'chmod 777 fah6'. Then I 'chmod 777 mpi*'.
No matter what I did, I still get 'No such file...." :confused:
It's right there!! :rolleyes:
Any ideas??Code:bs@bs-ubuntu64:~/Desktop/fah64$ ls -la

I bet the file's there, but the interpreter isn't, or something like that. What's the first line of the fah6 file, assuming it's a script?
If it isn't a script (file will be useful ;)), then I'm going to guess that since you're using a 64-bit system, you didn't install the 32-bit compatibility stuff, so the runtime linker that the fah6 program is trying to use doesn't exist. But that's just a guess; to find out for sure, you can use readelf -l /path/to/fah6 | grep interpreter, and make sure the interpreter that it requests actually exists on your system. If it's looking for /lib*/ld-linux-x86_64.so.2, then it should be fine, but if it's looking for /lib/ld-linux.so.2, then you'll need to install some 32-bit compatibility packages if you haven't already.
(I don't know how well (or whether) Ubuntu does multi-lib. It may do some kind of crazy chroot setup. You'd have to check their documentation on running 32-bit binaries in their 64-bit setup. Hopefully it'd be easy to do, since there's lots more than just F@H that distributes binaries only, but you never know.)
Thanks for the info bwkaz. The folding console is their 64bit version. The download is tagged like this: Linux (x86-64 bit, only) SMP client console version 6.02 beta1
I wouldn't think I would need any 32bit compatability stuff, but...
Code:bs@bs-ubuntu64:~/Desktop/fah/fah64$ file fah6
fah6: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), for GNU/Linux 2.0.0, dynamically linked (uses shared libs), stripped
Code:bs@bs-ubuntu64:~/Desktop/fah/fah64$ readelf -l /home/bs/Desktop/fah/fah64/fah6 | grep interpreter
[Requesting program interpreter: /lib/ld-linux.so.2]
So, I see that it's not telling me that the fah6 file doesn't exist, but rather the /lib/ld-linux.so.2 file doesn't exist.Code:bs@bs-ubuntu64:/lib$ ls -l ld-*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 123376 2007-10-01 11:51 ld-2.6.1.so
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 11 2008-03-30 23:05 ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 -> ld-2.6.1.so
I'll have to check around about this 32bit compatability thing.
And... this is a Beta version of the folding console. :rolleyes:
Thanks again... You're always very helpful and detailed.
oh... and so is je_fro! :D
