Folding@Home: CF Official Discussion Thread

Hey so why do both my clients (SMP and GPU) start over when I restart my computer? (At least, I think they restart, the total points are the same for each client according to FAHmon but they 'completion percentage' starts over) Aren't they supposed to go back to their checkpoints? I have both checkpoints around 10-13 minutes... But I restarted last night and they just started new work loads...am I doing something wrong?
 
Mine did the same thing yesterday! I was at 96% on an SMP 1920 point work unit and I lost it!

Might be a bad batch of work units...it happened a few months back...I could hardly even complete a work unit. It happens from time to time.

You are right, they should start where they left off.
 
even though mine has the checkpoint up, it always, every time, starts from the start :confused:

and can someone point me in the direction of somewhere where I can find how to work this fahmon please :P ?

1. Download and install

2. Open FAHMON and click on "clients" and then select "add new client"

3. You'll then see a box like this

4. As the picture states...type in a name and then paste the log file file location. To find the log file location start your client, right click the icon in the task bar, highlight status and then go to "Log File...you will see some thing like this.

Does folding with a screen saver running decrease performance? I run the LCARS System47 screen saver and don't know if it's affecting my folding.
 
It depends on how resource heavy it is.

If your CPU is running 100%, I would suggest turning it off as it would no doubt affect your folding.
 
Could the SMP client explain why my computer doesn't really want to sleep sometimes?? I gets pretty annoy that I have to turn off my computer now..

Yea it worked, cheers for that :)

Have to get the smp client installed though now, can't have 2 normal clients up at once :P I'll get round to it later though, got to go out soon
 
I can't even complete one WU, let alone get any points because my computer won't sleep, so I had to completely shut it off, and when I shut it off my SMP and GPU clients always restart themselves when I turn my computer back on again instead of returning to the last check point :( It's doing any good if this continues, does anybody know if the SMP client is the reason as to why my computer won't sleep?
 
I don't know about the SMP client, but the simple client always starts where it left off, based on the units in the "Work" folder.

Not sure why the SMP would be different.
 
My SMP client completely crashed yesterday. I can't even get it started again. I was also getting crashes in GPU client as well. I did a bunch of driver updates and uninstalled a bunch of extra programs and stuff...kinda cleaning house. I will reinstall all the clients in the morning and see how Folding goes:)

To my knowledge the SMP client does not save where you left off. If someone can prove me wrong it would be helpful. Then, I and others will most likely start using it. For now im sticking with the standard client.

The last SMP client I used, 5.91, picked up where you left off, so i can only assume the most recent client does as well. I can't think of a reason why it wouldn't. I gotta set that up soon. Been hella lazy lately in the folding arena.
