+StevoFC MVC Posted April 20, 2009 MVC Share Posted April 20, 2009 I stopped running the gpu client on my pc at work because I got a second monitor. I didn't think it would be a good idea to run it while using 2 LCDs at 1680x1050. So my daily points will be dropping a bit. It's not an nvidia so it didn't get a ton anyways, but still.

LargeLarry Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 How many people are actually folding with a PS3? One person? Two people? I think this is a horrible place to put this thread. This was brought up two months ago and never addressed. I was thinking about folding for a while and then I stumbled across this thread and decided to join the Neowin team. The key word is stumbled. I don't own a sony console and have no reason to look here. If someone can come up with a better place for this, that would be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+StevoFC MVC Posted June 18, 2009 MVC Share Posted June 18, 2009 Yeah, just about everyone who looks at this topic agrees it should be moved. I don't know why it hasn't been yet. I guess they don't know where to put it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cpressland2 Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 Okay so I got my new PS3 Slim today. I've decided to start folding as my PC has a lot of idletime and the PS3 can handle those sort of tasks instead of turning it off. I've got 1 x PS3, 1 x GPU Client, 2 x CPU Client I think it's a bit silly that the F@H desktop client still doesn't support multicore CPUs properly, i've got to run 2 x CPU clients to barely hit 80% Utilisation on my Q9450. Anyway, hopefully I should start going up in the ranks over the next few days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WHSRanger Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 Wooohooo I just joined too. I have folding@home installed on my Windows Home Server which is running 24/7. Yeah!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soothsayer Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 I've been folding for neowin for over 4 years now and I still find it sad that with a community as large as ours, we only have 31 CPUs active in the past 50 days, 3 of which are mine (it'll be 4 once they release a new ATI GPU client that doesn't interfere with the SMP client). How hard is it to download a piece of software and let it run in the background? Edit: The stats just refreshed, we're down to 29 CPUs now. *sigh* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soothsayer Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 Folding@Home is only one of many similar services. :p Oh, I'm aware of that, and I'm not trying to convince anyone to stop contributing idle cpu time elsewhere. I just want more people to help out, and I'm curious as to why they don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reacon Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 Does F@H utilize ATi cards? I'm currently computing for milkyway@home, but I could definitely switch projects :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evolution Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 Does F@H utilize ATi cards? I'm currently computing for milkyway@home, but I could definitely switch projects :D Yes it does, but the current framework is optimized for Nvidia cards. You should test a multicore cpu setup vs. the gpu to see which one is faster before committing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cybertimber2008 Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 Added two three systems to Neowin's team. What would it take to get this on the frontpage eh? 17mill points is up there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxxxxx.xxxxxx Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 added my client to the team, how many people still take part in this project. I remember it being a hot topic a few years back but you rarely hear people talk about it now. :unsure: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cybertimber2008 Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 So I've been looking around the net and other folding teams. I'm kind of surprised about how small the Neowin.net team is! Yet produces quite a bit. I've asked before about promotions but now I have ideas. 1) static signature for neowin folders, URL linked to this topic with information. 2) folding contest. A lot of sites seem to do this semi-annually to annually. Maybe give away something nice to one random active Neowin.net folder of >500pts. Thoughts? Edit: also, two cents, this shouldn't be in Sony Console anymore. It can be done on Linux/Mac/Win too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cybertimber2008 Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 Neowin.net, as of yesterday, has out folded the NVIDIA team. And that is with just the remaining 12 active Neowin folders. Join us by downloading the Folding@Home client: http://folding.stanford.edu/English/Download Enter in Neowin's group (55186) and your username. Your spare CPU cycles go to saving lives!
