jedi, you rock doing this!!!

I have just released version 2.4. The main change is that the Tracker will now take bonus points into account when recording stats. This also fixes some various bugs. The details can be found in the changelog in the readme.

This is awesome, im testing it now!!! thanks OP

I have completed version 2.6 BETA but I am waiting to release it until I can confirm the URL of the Chimp Challenge XML config file.

Version 2.6 BETA corrects a bug in the tray menu options when the "Start All" button is used. In addition, it also adds an option to automatically fold for EVGA during the Chimp Challenge.

In addition to the above mentioned changes, this version also adds a much better updater that allows downloading additional files. (like the GPU3 client when it is released)

Nioce!

The Tracker is not a replacement for HFM.net. It is intended as an interface for running multiple FAH clients without creating taskbar clutter. It is also useful if you have many dedicated folding rigs because you can set it up in the XML config mode. That way you only have to change the name/team/passkey in one place to apply it to all clients.

I will also be adding an option to set the FAH_GPU_IDLE environment variable by project number and by WU credit. This will be handy during the summer for those extremely hot WUs such as the 548 point GPU WUs. I had this feature in the original Tracker, but it took some time to figure out how I wanted to implement it with the web project list.

Thanks Jedi. Would this program necessarily allow me to track my gpu clients across machines?

Not with the current version, but it wouldn't be that hard to add support for viewing the stats on other computers. The STATS folder inside the main tracker folder would need to be shared on the network on the remote machine. Is this something that I should look into adding to the Tracker?

With the option to automatically switch for the Chimp Challenge, does it only change the username?  Or have you also pre-loaded it with the proper Chimp Challenge passkey?

I'm assuming it's just the username, but I figure I'd ask it before someone else does.

it should just be username passkey is only ment to be sent via pm, not everyone needs it

Impressive work.  Looks to be much more noob friendly than everything else out there.  They should give ya a blue ribbon, a t-shirt and a bumper sticker.  LOL

Nice work on this. I don't think I'm going to download it until Stanford gets their GTX400 client out, but I look forward to using your software.

Also, you should probably make this neat tool fold for only EVGA or something. Set the team number to 111065 and not give the user the option of changing it!

Also, just a matter of rigor:

I'm using a GTX 470. As you can probably guess, -forcegpu nvidia_g80 probably won't work because, well, the GTX470 isn't a g80 GPU.

Also, where does this save the data in the event we need to point Fahmon to the right folders?

You can point FahMon or HFM at the client folders inside the main Tracker folder (SMP, CPU, GPU0, GPU1, ......) The Tracker itself stores its stats in the STATS folder.

This is the same install.bat used for the standard SMP client. How to:

1.Basically when it comes up the first step is to enter the account name of an admin account on your system (if you are and admin just hit enter to accept the current account name)
2.Once you have done that, you will have to enter the password to the account you specified in the first step twice (it will not show anything being entered, this is normal).
3. If you completed the first 2 steps correctly you should see "If you see this twice, MPI is working" 2 times.

If i don't have a password to my account, what should i type in? I tried leaving it blank but it gave me an error.

I like it thus far. I just have one request. When I game, I usually do so without SLI on and only pause the main GPU. This would be a handy option. Being able to set which clients get paused for gaming so that the idle cards and cores can keep going. 

Another option (that would be nice for those of us that want to get our 250k/month but also want to do chimp challenge is to set a daily PPD target before it changes over to CC. lets say I just want the bare minimum for my 250k per month (about 8500ppd) and the rest can go the CC. I set 8500 and as soon as that much has been completed it changes everything over to CC until midnight when it changes back to my F@H. 

Just a few thoughts. 

There's already a sticky thread from the Webmaster regarding this. If you miss the 250K or 100K monthly milestones because of CC, then given you have shown good performance in the previous months, they'll bump you up to the milestones. Obviously, this is handled on a case-by-case basis at the webmaster's discretion. So, it's in your best interest to fold for CC for the full time, then switch over to regular folding later.

Here's what I'll do:

If you made a milestone in March or April and you miss it in May by a reasonable amount (sorry for the gray area, but 0 points folded under your name for the month won't get for example) then I will award the EVGA bucks to you that you missed.

If you have not participated until May, I will have to take that on case by case basis.  

Unfortunately there is no other way for me to do it since everyone's points/situation is unique.  I am willing to add to my workload for the team, though.  If you have specific questions on this regarding your situation, feel free to post here so the answers are out there.

Thanks for taking my advice. I am happy about you implementing that feature as I think it will be great.


As for CC, I just looked at the goal. I think we will only be running CC for a day or so, so I am all out. I thought it was going to be much longer than 2 to 5 days. So all I have to do (now that I have signed up on the other thread) is have "automatically fold for EVGA during CC" ticked and I will be fine right?

Also, the CPU folding, is it bigadv or something? I am only on an e8400@3.73Ghz. I tried to do SMP folding with 2 cores only to have it sit there for 40 or so minutes without even advancing once (might have been 30). The WU was an A3 with around 1300 PPD IIRC. Is it possible for me to run that with only -advmethods flagged, not bigadv. Might be nice for us to be able to set command line switches for each client. Just a thought. You can choose whether to make then tick boxes or command line fields. You might even pull them from an xml file. Just my 2c.
