I just folded my first protein

If it's using up all your CPU then it's working.

There normally is a file created by FAH call "FAHlog.txt" do a search for that to check on how it's doing, the file should be in the folder FAH is run from. I wouldn't expect your name to show up before you have finished a WU as you can't get any points for something you haven't done yet.

How do I know it has successfully downloaded a WU? How can I see how much of the WU has been processed?

The console window scrolls all this information including core downloads, WU downloads, steps completed, success/failure, and whether the completed work is uploaded and received sucessfully. You can also read this same scroll in the file FAHlog.txt.

Here's one unit ending and another beginning:

Code:

ps- ax gives:

Code:

SN 0:00 ./FahCore_82.exe -dir work/ -suffix 01 -checkpoint 15 -lifeline 6027 -version 502

How do I know it has successfully downloaded a WU? How can I see how much of the WU has been processed? Is there anywhere a good documentation? (no manpages and the FAQ on their website isn't what I consider to be a fulll documentation) Oh, and my username doesn't show up in the justlinux_regulars' list either. Will it get there once I have finished my first WU?

The file that you are probably intrusted in is FAHlog.txt, it is in the same directory as FAH502-Linux.exe. Everything that FAH would output to the screen is written to that file.

Here is an excerpt from my log file

As you can see, the log will tell you what protein your computer is folding, the amount of work completed, when it download the work unit, the core it is using, if it successfully sent the unit back to the server, and much more important information.

**squeegy** · 03-19-2005, 02:27 PM

Just joined the team the other day. I've got 3 machines folding right now, and will have 2, maybe 3 more added very soon.

Machines Currently Folding:
AMD Athlon XP 1900+
Intel PentiumIII 1GHz
PowerPC G4 1.25GHz

Going to be adding:
AMD Athlon XP 2500+ (Parent's House)
Intel Celeron 733mhz (Parent's House)
AMD K6-2 500mhz (Needs new cpu fan)

**ions** · 03-19-2005, 04:10 PM

Look at us! Almost 50 members!

Thank you very much.

Now I can't wait until I get my other box back to have a second up and folding.

**DimGR** · 03-20-2005, 11:15 AM

what is your current CPU temp when you are folding?

mine idles at 49.5 C
Mobo at 38C

Pentium 4 2.8GHz

**ions** · 03-20-2005, 08:31 PM

Uh oh. retsaw has some new firepower.

**retsaw** · 03-20-2005, 09:15 PM

Not yet! I've started leaving my machines on through the night though.

**MorphiusFaydal** · 03-20-2005, 09:19 PM

something way to hot

Athlon XP 3200+

I have an SMP system that runs pretty cool,
one proc usually runs around 39C and the other runs about 43C. I'm guessing the dT is due to differences in location.
I fry eggs on my other boxes, so I like them hot.

Yeah, the 3200+ is nothing short of a beast...I need to get a new hs/f for mine to keep it cool, because its running so damn hot

i have a ThermalTake Volcano 12+ and Arctic Silver 5 on mine, but its in one of those big computer desks that puts huge chunks of wood around it.. so hot air doesnt really move away from my system :-\
