I'll use this thread when I see that someone's folding is off.

Some sections may be split off from time to time, or obsolete alerts of mine deleted.

---- old alert below ----

Wade McDonald and Artemis report that they have reinitialized some of their machines. Onanum and Dr. Frankenstein have slipped considerably. I'm hoping its just holiday downtime.

I predict to see us hitting over 70,000 points per day by the end of the week. Happy New Year !

I lost one of my machines for the end of December as it was "in-transit", back up and running now. big_smile

My dual 2.4 gHz iMac has been off F@H for several months -- it seems to cause a lot of hangs and pauses when it's running. I tried re-installing, but it didn't help.

But I turned my old iBook into an iFrame™ hanging on the wall, and it should crank out its first WU in about 56 days.

On the iMac: OS 10.4 or 10.5 ? and can you find out what version of Folding it was running ? Later on, I'll do a search at main support and / or crosspost.

Yeah, the PPC's are caterpillars when it comes to point production.

Nefarious · 2009-01-13 8:36 am

paging RacerXTerra. Your production has stopped.

(note: I split off the Caoimhin related posts)

It's 10.5.6 -- running latest F@H version -- just downloaded and reinstalled a week ago.

Nefarious · 2009-01-14 9:20 am

Hmmmm.... let's check a couple of basics. Team # and name ? check "client.cfg" file with TextEdit.

Meanwhile, I will crosspost later today.

Nefarious · 2009-01-14 9:20 am

Also, we need a big snippet from the tail end of the FAHlog.txt file.

Nefarious · 2009-01-20 1:29 pm

Our production yesterday was off 20 % from the average. I can see 10 % as a reasonable variation but not 20.

It is said that a main server at Stanford for assigning proteins is now back on track.

As far as I can, the drop in statistics was felt by Artemis and a bit by Onanum.

mrreet2001 · 2009-01-21 7:13 pm

F@H has been making my C2D 2.8 imac lag alot ... so I pulled it off. I also removed it from my caterpillars:
Dual 2.3 G5 Power Mac
1.6 G5 imac
1.5 Core Solo mini
1.42 G4 mini

I may put it back on the caterpillars at a later date.

Nefarious · 2009-01-21 7:39 pm

Some users do report a slowdown, depending on what apps they run. As for myself, I don't notice any lag.

caoimhin · 2009-01-22 12:20 am

In fact, I believe I'm seeing a speed up since I reloaded and restarted F@H & InCrease! Yet, I have a week of no activity to make up for. big_smile

Nefarious · 2009-02-10 12:38 pm

Servers at Stanford are wonky this morning. We expect things to be better in an hour or two.

Both statistics and new proteins are delayed. http://folding.typepad.com/

In case anybody wondered, I just remembered why I turned off my Folding on my 2.4 gHz Dual Core iMac a few months ago.
It causes Hulu.com to stutter on playback. I use Hulu all the time for TV, since I'm never home when the shows I'd like to see are aired.
I'd like to be able to pause the folding, like I could on my old G4 with InCrease, but the current installation of F@H doesn't seem to allow it. Even if I go to the F@H pref pane and click the "disable folding" button, it still runs. And rebooting just restarts it. I've tried killing the fah and fahcore processes in Activity monitor, but they just come back, and sometimes even multiply.

So -- unless there's some easy solution to pause the folding when I want to watch Hulu, I'm forced to leave it uninstalled.

Nefarious · 2009-02-10 1:30 pm

Maybe if we can find a way to increase the priority of Safari ?

I will cross post later on today.

it killed my rendering speed because of the same issues.

Nefarious · 2009-03-14 9:58 am

okay, TEAM ---- what is going on.

Production is way down.

kamizuno · 2009-03-14 11:17 pm

strange, my mac pro is still crunching away, but my production is half what it should be, dunno why? confused

I've noticed my Mac Pro's folding performance has taken a hit.

TheMouthOfSauron · 2009-03-17 9:44 am

I've noticed that the processor load on my Mac Pro is in the 60-80% range instead of 95-100% that it used to be. There are still eight FahCore processes running. Maybe a change in the work units?

Nefarious · 2009-04-04 10:38 am

Is 8 processes the correct number ? I presume it is for a dual CPU.

Team output is at its highest in 8 weeks.

ArtemisG3 · 2009-04-04 11:00 am

8 processes is normal if you have setup two instances of folding to run.

Nefarious · 2009-04-06 10:04 pm

Team Production is now solidly over 80,000 per day.

Moreover, our 20th ranking producer is doing 676 points per day (MacAddict Stephen). Its never been that high before.

kamizuno · 2009-04-07 12:30 am

hmm, and now my production is back up to normal now. maybe last monthʻs WUs were extra big shrug

Yeah, it's an 8-core Mac Pro with two instances running. Anyway, production is back up. smile
