You also have to set seperate machine IDs or could end up doing the same one on each and only will credit as 1.

how do you set up sepearte machine ID's?

Chew_Toy · 02-18-2005, 03:24 PM

Durring the initial setup answer yes to the advanced options and it will ask. Just pick a number between 1 and 8.
I am not 100% sure but you could probably add the line "machineid=1" to your client.cfg with 1 being equal to any number 1~8.

I'll try that this weekend

Also to get to setup you can use the "-config" flag.

mjgent · 02-18-2005, 09:27 PM

And if anyone needs help setting up shortcuts, dual instances, machine IDs, etc. just ask. I'm sure there are a few of us that can help.

OK I tried to set up 2 clients but when i run the second one i get this message

Code:

There is already another Folding@Home running.
Only one copy may be run at a time. This copy will now quit.

How do I get around this problem?

mjgent · 02-19-2005, 05:31 PM

Are you currently running another instance of folding@home from before? Maybe a graphical interface version? If so, you'll have to stop that first to run 2 client versions. If not, then you need to setup two directory folders each with a copy of folding@home program, eg. folding1 & folding2. The easiest way to do this is when you download the latest client version of folding@home make a copy and put it into the other folder, i.e. folding2. Then make a shortcut of each folding@home executable file in each of their respectable folders (make sure each shortcut's properties are pointing to their respectable folder's executable). Then amend the target field to add the flags, eg. FAH502-Console.exe" -local -forceasm -config. The local will make it use the files in that specific folder not the other one. I would rename this shortcut something like Runconfig2. Now you'll need to follow what Chewtoy stated about the machine IDs in the config adv menu. If this doesn't help you please let us know more detail about how you have your folding@home setup and if there are any folding@home services running "control-alt-del".

I get that message on one of my HT machines every once in a while even when all is setup correctly. It usually will work on the next restart of it tho.

MadHacker · 02-19-2005, 09:24 PM

I take it will only work with text versions?
I tried 2 graphical versions...

MadHacker · 02-19-2005, 09:41 PM

OK i got it set up with the text version...
2 running...
so now i have these console windows ...
how do i get rid of them?

MadHacker · 02-19-2005, 09:57 PM

OK i now have started the services...
no console windows...
thanks for the help..

FYI, we basically need to double our 1.2M team point score to break into the top 100. At our current pace it should take us another 19 weeks. It will probably be more though considering that there are a few teams between 100 and our current position (146) that are putting out higher weekly team points than we are.

MadHacker · 03-17-2005, 05:05 PM

bump
I'm in 10th place now

we are in 142 place
we need more folders... :shrug:

scooterfl · 03-17-2005, 05:37 PM

great madhacker! Ive been watching your climb, keep it up.
agreed we need more folders.

in the words of Colonel Sandurz from Spaceballs: "keep folding a**holes"

mjgent · 03-17-2005, 07:02 PM

Yeah, great job Mad. At your rate you should be in the top 5 soon.

not soon enough...

So... i've been away for a while. Just recently moved from Wisconsin to Colorado. Anyways... thought i'd chime in with an update. Just added (today) four Xeon 2.4's so my daily and weekly numbers should climb pretty decently. (I've been slacking a lot)

mjgent · 03-30-2005, 04:23 PM

That's awesome. That should really help. My IT manager at work will only let me fold our HT workstations and not our dual Xeon servers. I was tempted to do it anyways but he said he'd quit because he didn't want that variable during any troubleshooting. He's too good of an employee so I opted not to fold with our servers.

msv · 04-15-2005, 08:56 AM

We have advanced a position on the folding list. From 137 to 136. Hehe, we´re gaining on them, lots of butt to kick along the way!

msv · 05-06-2005, 12:57 AM

And now we are at 135!
Another butt down, 134 to kick!

I've read through most of the thread and I'd like to offer any help that I can.
One thing I noticed was about the multiple client issue.
Basically you can have 2 clients folding on your HT machine as long as you issue a seperate machineID for each (ie machineID=1 machineID=2 etc) ...the more processes you have the more machineID's you set up to 8.
As for the GUI version and multi clients. You can only have one instance of the GUI per machine. If you fold with two clients you may use one GUI and one Console or you may choose to use both clients as Console. You cannot use 2 GUI's.

Something not yet mentioned that you may keep in mind is user id's within the registry. This should only give issues if you ghost from one machine to another with a f@h client installed. If you duplicate the user id withing the registry on 2 or more machines you will waste lots of folding power and only receive points for one. The way to avoid this is to either delete the user id from the registry before you make the ghost master ...or simply delete it once you've ghosted. Once the client is restarted an individual id will be applied.

I've already gotten too long winded so if you have any questions I can answer please ask.
I wish you the best of luck with your team effort ...great idea!

Nightfall · 05-12-2005, 02:21 AM

I have three P4 3.2's in front of me... we finally got our new workstations at work

Hopefully we'll get them onto the network quickly; the PIII's that we're working on now suck... bad.

mjgent · 05-12-2005, 03:11 AM

That's great! I've added a few more P4s and our Phoenix office should have about 3 P4s (with HT) which should be folding in a few weeks.

Wow, the number one producer on F@H has a 100K+ 24h average

That is incredible... don't know why I shared, just impressed I guess
