Well, yes it is setup with VMware it's this one right here. Also, I unchecked the Asynchronous Clocks box and it wouldn't even pick up the unit. But The Downloaded time does look a little fishy, it's currently at 3d 07hr 35min ago when clearly it was less than 4 hours ago...

Ah, yeah, I talked to Harlam (maker of HFM) about that. He said it's more an issue with the VMware than the monitoring programs, so there's nothing much to be done about it.

He said he posted in the VMware guide about it; I'll see if I can find it.

EDIT: Yeah, here's what he said:

- Client is on Virtual Machine option (which will make HFM interpret the timestamps in the logs as if they are local time and not UTC values)

- Client Time Offset (which can be used to manually adjust the time difference between the monitored client and the machine running HFM)

Because HFM uses the Download Time as a basis for calculating Bonus Credit and PPD, these values will be off as well. What I could do, in this situation where the client is running in a different time frame, is just use the frame time itself as a basis for the total time of completion for the unit. It would be less accurate than using the Download Time, but it would allow HFM to report a more sensible value in this situation.

damn... and as of right now there is no other VMware that supports 8 core folding is there? Looks like I'll just have to wait and just keep track of stuff on eXtreme Overclockers

'fraid so.

Why not just run the Windows SMP client? Takes all of 10 minutes to set up, and will save you a lot of hassle. Even if you're going to -bigadv soon, it might make life a little easier for you until then...

Well I heard that the Linux VMware worked more efficiently cause it used more resources as to where the windows smp client didn't and it took longer per percent.

No, not necessarily. The older SMP client gave less PPD than the VMwares (since Linux was better than Windows). Now, wiht the bonuses for Project 6011-6025, Windows actually gives better PPD.

Unless you're folding -bigadv WUs on and i7, in which case you need to use the VMware. But until you make the switch, SMP would be fine; you might already have completed the initial 10 WUs (without bonus points).

Ohh yea I did already, I have like 20 WU's or so done, was just unsure if I would be able to complete the -bigadvance work units in the given time since I'm not folding 100% of the time do to gaming addiction! =P

Yeah, -bigadv needs ~20hrs a day to make it within the deadline. but you should be able to rip through the SMP2 WUs. You'll get a good 13-15k PPD on the SMP client for now.

Guide, if you need it.

Question..

Last update on my FAHMON is at 0853 AM today (oh, about 5 mins after I left for work, about an hour away).. it's currently 1014.

Is there a chance I crashed/lost power/etc? Is FAHMON's web tool smart enough to say 'No info received since xxxx'? Or will it just assume everything's fine? I know that in the past if my GPU freezes something it'll say *HUNG* and make the icon color red... I'm just gonna be sad if I essentially lose half a day of folding is all, but it might be the straw that gets me into my actual 'Foldathon/Chimp Challenge' folding only status that I've been trying to work towards..

*edited to add* Actually...

I did restart this morning, and I remember restarting HFM.NET... but I'm not 100% sure I restarted FAHMON -- but it was before that time IIRC.. hm. Well, if Stanford keeps reporting I'm getting points, then I dont really care. I just dont like the thought of something getting hung and my PC running @ 100% for no reason, ya know?

Edit #2 -
Didn't finish a Work unit in this hour, thought I was scheduled to. Looks like I'm crashed/lost power. I hope it's the later :/

It's spelt 'latter'.

That may not have been as helpful as I would have liked....

But no, the Fahmon upload will just continue to show the last time it was updated.
