Joined the group with my PS3

Does anyone know if you can schedule the ps3 to auto power on at say, midnight and download and run a work unit and power off again? I know you can get it to power off when complete but its the powering on and starting i am not sure on. Would be good to get that running regularly off peak with no intervention from me - its a no brainer

No sadly not.

Hi Guys!

Just come across this thread and have set up my PS3 to start doing this.

Wanted to get into Distributed Computing for a good cause like this for some time but never knew how to do it!

One question I have is:

On the PS3, is there a setting so that when it finishes a calculation, rather than shutting down, it just picks up another one?

Many thanks
Mark

IIRC just turn off the shutdown when complete option.

Still going... over 90% now

I've ran F@H on a couple of machines just to try it out... I don't think I've reached 100% on any of them but it says on here...

...I've got 11 work units...? is that completed units, or units I've taken out to fold/work on? How does the score get incremented?

You've put the team page up for PH, not your page so i can't tell.

Noooo, currently my ps3 is my only folding rig, my epic server can't fold right now as its sans power supply and every time I play on my ps3 when I'm done I load up F@H for a WU
