Why doesn't Linus Fold?

[Gofspar]

When everyone goes home at night at LMG why don't they put their ridiculous hardware to use and fold, they could all hit #1 within a week with all of those Titans. Just a thought.

 

Edzels rig would be crazy for folding. <3

[ZetZet]

They probably render during that time.

[lutewan]

because running  5 pc on one loop when no one is there i dont think is a very good idea

[PowerPigeon]

It'd be risky I'd think, having all that heat being generated while no one was there to watch it.

[Jade]

They probably render during that time.

There's a fairly high chance that they do. No reason not to get footage that's done rendered out, if everything else for it is ready. Edzel's rendering pretty much all day if I'm not mistaken, though.

On a work machine honestly it's not something I'd recommend. It's been a while since I've tinkered with folding, but last time I was playing with it, it did cause interruptions and slowdowns, which is something that we cannot afford as a business.

[PC-NOOB]

Not to mention the power bill.

yea definitely

But ALL DEM TITANS! Just kidding Linus Please don't use your powers on me 

[Gofspar]

I've been blessed by the LMG gods, he responded!

I read the last 2 words as: He respawned!

My automatic reaction: where is it! So we can kill it and get the achievement!

 

Anyway seems rather unsafe to have their system unsupervised while folding, the heat those machines generate(not to forget the power bill that would come with it)

And then @LinusTech's little 670 since @Slick and Edzel didn't thing Linus needed a Titan. Poor Linus.

welp theres the answer to that one

You have 1337 posts, leave the forum now

I was going to make a joke about that in my 1,337th post... You beat me to it but I edited it.

Rather fold on well clocked 980's in Linux, just sayin

[SynapseBreak]

LMG should have a dedicated folding machine, chugging along happily alongside its workstation bretheren. Ive always thought it would be cool for Linus to accept maybe donations of GPU's and whatnot on the condition they would be set as dedicated folding machines in the office.  It might be a good way to promote F@H, thoughts? c:

Would be an interesting idea as a project. Maybe make a video on FAH and\or BOINC so other people might chip in to the cause.

How... how have you made another ~20 posts since 6:00?  How are you so active?

Meh, I don't know, most of the time it's actually on topic. O_O

Constantly roaming the forums possibly

Linus

have you thought about getting a solar grid tie system? i'd think that all those rigs running can use a lot of power.

This aint a bad idea

[tobben]

Slick personally has been boincing quite abit. That is pretty cool.

the intensity will vary with the wu. But didn't you guys have a dual gpu setup

on each machine? you could fold on atleast 1 gpu while using the pc. 

Regardless it should be doable to setup folding so that it doesn't interfere

with regular usage atleast. Like handling text files, browsing, watching videos

etc.. rendering, gaming etc.. is obviously a no-go .

 

if not gpu folding, maybe abit of cpu folding? which is more flexible 

and less interfering.

You would shorten the lifetime of the hardware.
