Multiple systems folding
Hi guys
Happy to be finally contributing to the project and team with a dedicated system. Just finished my first work unit (not so speedy on a Celly 800!) and I'm now on the list at Stanford  Just wanted to ask about the correct way to set up another system folding. Obviously I'll use my username and PC Mech team number, but do I need to change the advanced options to show machine ID "2"? My only reason for asking is that I remember reading something about data being corrupted with two ore more machines sending info simultaneously  If it makes a difference, these two machines will be on different internet connections for the time being. Would it make a difference if at any point they were being used on the same network? Hope that makes sense FK

I've never had a problem with using multiple machines... I mean, you have people with sometimes 100's of machines (at their workplace, for instance) but F@H only gives you ID's 1-10... so I say just give them a different machine ID if you can, and it should work fine from there

The machine ID number doesn't matter unless you are running a dully or a Hyperthreading type setups that run more than one instance of Folding on a single PC. If it's on a single cpu and only one instance of FAH then leave it number 1.
Being on the same network isn't an issue at all.

What are the specs of the other 2 machines? I assume one will be your 3200+? Just curious...

Eric...yes one will be the 3200+, my main system. I've got a number of older computers sitting around that I'm slowly turning into dedicated folding machines.
The next to come online will be an Athlon 1300+ with 256MB Memory. Not the fastest, but hopefully quicker than the Celeron 800 I started with FK |

w00t! More dedicated machines! I would really like to see the team get back to 15k PPD.
Once we pass Sharky Forums they might join us. I stopped in and asked if they would like to create a subteam on our team since we now have more members and are going to pass them. That would be a nice 9k PPD bump but I'm not looking for them to actually join. Oh, well.... Fold on PcMech'ers! |
