Well I'm back folding again after several months off and I'm using the latest 'folding@home' 5.02. Well into my first protein but I was hoping to use both processors so have now started up InCrease.
When I started folding@home it immediately found my old name and team and the same thing happened when I started up InCrease so I know that is set up OK. InCrease also saw the protein I was doing and the percentage I had got to so I assumed it could take over from folding@home but when I stopped folding@home all my folding stopped. I left it a while to see if InCrease would pick it up but it didn't.
Do I have to wait for this protein to finish before I start using InCrease? If I do that and then start InCrease will it get a new protein for me and will it use both processors as at the moment it is still only using one? I'm using Activity Monitor to check.
On a slightly related topic, the two columns of blocks you can have for the Activity Monitor jump about a lot. If I'm not doing anything then one column is grey and the other is to the top with green showing that folding@home is using it all. However, while I watch the column that is green swaps from the left side to the right and then back again and keeps doing that. Is the folding really jumping from one processor to another all the time? Seems a bit strange to me but then I'm a bear of little brain at times.
