For those that asked for it, the program for monitoring your folding progress is here:
http://fahmon.net/
You install like any other prog. Run it, and create profiles for each folding instance you have on your computer or LAN. You direct each profile to the folding folder. It will then show you details of each ongoing project and also estimate your performance.
This performance thing can also be used to see how much effect small changes to the system have on f@h - such as setting affinity (locking cores), overclocking etc.
Highly recommended app, especially if you have many machines running.
Latest version is this:
Quotev2.3.4 (04/11/08) General
- Fixed missing core support.
- Fixed clients never reloading.
- Improved CPU usage by altering message log routines.
- Altered clientstab.txt to be tab delimited.
yeah its a nice little program to monitor your current PPD, and your total ppd if your running multiple clients
Yep, I kinda use it but not very much, but intend to use it more and more :D
version 2.3.99 out (http://fahmon.net/), plenty of changes:
Quotev2.3.99 (03/04/09) General
GUI
- Fixed total PPD value not updating unless a client is clicked.
- Allow about and benchmark dialogs to be closed with escape key (thanks to smartcat99s).
- Added columns for client type (determined from the core type) and core version number.
- Main progress bar now hides along with the WU Info panel.
- Total PPD display moved into the status bar.
- Improved sorting of inaccessible or disabled clients.
- Removed "zebra" background colour scheme from benchmarks list.
- Added IRC channel link to help menu and First Time Dialog.
- Removed info panel from default view, and replaced with extra columns.
- Added informative tooltips to a number of controls.
- Window stays maximised after hiding the FAHlog if it was maximised initially.
Monitoring
- Improved handling of clients within Virtual Machines.
- Prevented FahMon? (http://trac.fahmon.net/wiki/FahMon) from crashing when the FAH client produces excessively large unitinfo.txt files.
- Fixed miscalculation of frame count when step count is a non-standard number.
- Limited FAHlog parsing to last 16KiB.
- Added ability to reload client in series rather than launching a thread for each client. Will improve memory usage with large numbers of clients.
- Significantly reduced CPU usage while reloading.
- Added support for monitoring clients over http.
- Added limited support for monitoring clients over ftp.
- Added slower, configurable timer for reloading http/ftp clients. This is also used for web output.
- Added support for saving web output to an ftp server.
- Added support for additional cores.
- Web output is now sorted in the same way as the client list.
Other
- Added crash reporter to help debugging.
- Fixed non-fatal bug in single-instance handler.
- Fixed internal queue.dat/wx character conversion.
- FahMon? (http://trac.fahmon.net/wiki/FahMon) messages are now logged with millisecond timestamps.
- Added partial Norwegian translation.
- Plugged several memory leaks.
- Message Manager now only logs errors by default.
- Replaced internal inet protocol handling with libcurl.
- Added "stress test" mode. Start with -s or --stress
- New user manual.
Windows
- Reduced executable size by aggressively optimising MSVC linking and padding boundaries.
- Reduced executable size by aggressively stripping unneeded options from wxWidgets.
- Added --local option to allow config to be managed from local directory.
- Fixed main window location behaviour.
And another update! I can also see that the programming has been handed on to a new guy.
Quotev2.3.99.1 (06/04/09) General
Monitoring
- Added more rigorous checks to file handling to ensure that invalid file access attempts don't crash FahMon? (http://trac.fahmon.net/wiki/FahMon) (particularly on Windows).
Other
- Updated German translation.
