DU Folding@Home Thread #6 - Team DU Moving Up!

[mcscajun]

Team DU is kicking ass and taking initials...we ain't got time for no names!

We're doing more and more important medical research every week! Imagine catching and passing the freepers, doing medical research and letting your computer do it all for you? How's that for an offer you can't refuse? How? All you need to do is join Team # 48157, Democratic Underground's own Folding@Home Team!

Join the Team here: http://folding.stanford.edu

Since ny_liberal sounded the first call on December 22, 2005, 131 DUers have donated the spare computing cycles of 185 CPUs to the cause. We started out small; our ranking was around the 17,000 mark out of over 40,000 teams.

Today, we're firmly entrenched in the Top 1500 Teams and going for the top 1000!

:woohoo: :applause: :woohoo:

Our DU CPUs are busily simulating the folding of proteins to support medical research into diseases and disorders that kill, cripple, and impair human life. Help the work...help find cures!

Every PC has spare computing cycles to contribute to the effort. The program is small and runs in background, can be paused at any time, or closed entirely if your workload or hobbies require more CPU resources. There's even an interesting graphic to let you watch the simulation in progress. Old PCs, Slow PCs, Spare PCs lying around that can be attached to your home network all help the cause. The race may go to the swift, but slow and steady racks up points, too!

Mac and Linux clients are available, also.

You can have fun catching Freepers along the way. It's a great fringe benefit to joining Team DU. :)

The Freeper team stands in the top 500 -- let's knock 'em off that pedestal they're sneering down on us from; what do you say, DU?

Join the Team here: http://folding.stanford.edu

If you've already joined the team, there's still more you can do. Send out the call to your progressive friends and family; get them to join our team!

C'mon, DUers! More CPUs!!!

[Ian David]

2. I just added a second CPU running the command-line version

I hope I don't screw it up.

Anyway, I have six liquid-nitrogen cooled Cray Supercomputers in my basement. Now I can only use five of them to surf for porn.

[mcscajun]

3. Ha! You crack me up, dude!

:rofl:

[mia]

5. Go team!

:kick:

[Twillig]

6. A look at the ol' radar screen

Here is how it looks for us.

http://fahstats.com/tr.php?t=48157


Here's how it looks for a team (one of the non-flatliners (compared to us)) that is being overtaken.
Let's do this to the freepers some day real soon. :-)

[mcscajun]

7. From your fingers, to....

:)

[Roland99]

30. Well, the Freepers are producing about 3x as many points/day as us

But we're accelerating!

[nedbal]

56. the #1 freeper could be a team in the top 1000 all alone

the #1 freep is running 100 +++ cpu's alone

[applegrove]

8. We should all be "folding" in the background.

[alfredo]

10. If you can, give a tutorial on how to make FAH launch at

login. I am assuming you are on Windows. I have done it for the Mac platform.

[applegrove]

18. Don't know. Search folding. Find the organization you want to belong to.

Sign up and follow their instructions. Really not very hard.

[alfredo]

22. I just thought it would make it a lot easier if it launched automatically.

I have mine launching at login. I don't need to know how to do it on Windows because nobody here uses MS products.

I just thought Windows users might know how to do it, then tell other Windows users.

[applegrove]

23. Sorry if I sounded curt (I reread). Really - the best instruction you can

get is from the site you choose. Search folding & genome Project .. find the project you want to be involved with and follow their instructions. Trust me - they are put out there for easy use. They want your help.

It is nice to know that we are helping others as we gab away.

Good luck
:hi:

[alfredo]

27. OK. I've been fasting all day, so I guess I am

kind of dingy.

[applegrove]

54. No - I was curt. My bad. Happy fasting.

[alfredo]

59. It was just a one day fast. I am back on my feed.

I just need to do without food every now and then.

[applegrove]

65. Probably healthy somehow. Good for you with the discipline.

[alfredo]

69. It's not so much discipline, it just like I don't feel like eating, don't

feel like cooking, and don't feel like cleaning up.

[Roland99]

29. If you're running the Command-Line version on Windows 2000/XP

The best option is to set it up as a Service. There's an option when you first run the CLI (along with all the other prompts) to set it run as a service. Then, upon the 1st reboot, it will always start at boot (even if you don't login at the Ctrl+Alt+Del window).

If you're not running 2000/XP, just put a shortcut to the Folding executable in your Startup folder.

[Moochy]

39. Looks like the windows 2000/xp graphical client

it looks like that client is already adding itself to the startup folder.

:hi:

[Roland99]

45. Suh-Weet!

[mia]

43. All together now...

Folding, folding, folding,
Proteins in the stream.

DU has just what it takes,
To be the greatest team!

[ismnotwasm]

9. Ok, I did it.

I'm so computer illiterate that I've been ignoring the whole thing :blush: So your persistance pain off.
I hope I did it right, it didn't seem to hard. I have an old computer, but it's had all kinds of memory added, so I should be ok. And I have a friend in case something goes wrong. (Don't we all?)
So here we go!

[alfredo]

12. Welcome.

Be sure to set it up so when you turn your computer on, the Folding@Home client starts on its own. I know how to do it on the Mac, you will have to ask someone that knows the Windows platform. It shouldn't be hard at all. There might be a Wizard to tell you how to do it.

[mcscajun]

16. Glad to have you aboard!

:)

[Dont_Bogart_the_Pretzel]

13. Tell me something fellow geeks...

I'm eyeing a new PC using Linux (doesn't matter which flavor)








AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200+ Manchester 1GHz FSB Socket 939 Dual Core Processor :wow:
with 1 gig DDR and.


Do ya think I could "simulating" ??

[Mabus]

19. Looks like you can

There are two downloads available for Linux. See, http://www.stanford.edu/group/pandegroup/folding/download.html

Looking forward to having you on board.

:patriot:

[Dont_Bogart_the_Pretzel]

41. Thanks, but I am allready there as

[Mabus]

86. Then you can "simulate" with me anytime

:evilgrin:

[Brundle_Fly]

14. I have 3 units folded, and I am racing up the charts!

I just joined last week and I am loving it.

I know it may not seem like a massive deal, but helping with science / medicine is a huge innovation, and I am please to be a part of it.
I am even more pleased to be helping screw the freepers as part of Team DU!

Join Now, help us recreate destiny!
You know you want too.

FYI, I do heavy graphical computations on my computer, files in excess of 200-500 meg all the time, I don't find this app slows me down at all, so if that is your concern, perhaps delete that dancing bikini app thats sucking that 2% of CPU power and install this instead.

[mia]

24. Congratulations!

I joined this past weekend and was chugging right along until I lost my WU
due to an "improper shutdown". It was halfway finished when I left this morning, but I came home and found a frozen computer - the screen was totally black and the mouse and keyboard weren't working. Didn't know what else to do except a manual shutdown.

I just deleted my 'dancing bikini' files after reading your post and my computer is folding away. Thanks for the suggestion.

It's great to see our team doing so well!

[Brundle_Fly]

37. my PC has dumped twice

once for "an important system update" just rebooted, lost a whole work unit, so I am letting my mac chunk them away now.

Edit to say, I meant no harm by insinuating people had dancing bikini people on there desktop, I mean seriously.... who am I to judge, if dancing bikini-girl desktop icons are your thing, so be it, thats cool, its just...well, folding some goddamned proteins is my thing, like it or lump it, WHOOHOOO


PS

I have had some wine tonight :)

[strategery blunder]

21. I started this a week ago, my first protein should be done soon

either tomorrow or Friday...my lappy can't seem to make up its mind. At any rate, I'll join the ranks of active CPUs soon.:)

[Mabus]

26. Congratulations

Every CPU helps.

When I downloaded my current WU it first said I would finish sometime in mid-February. Now it is scheduled to finish this Saturday. That's part of the excitement of this, you just never really know.

[Maru Kitteh]

25. Currently folding Tinker Core

Sounds like something one would find on Dubyas lip after a long weekend.

[Caoimhe]

83. LOL!

[brystheguy]

28. OK, you've shamed me. I'm in!

Maybe I'll leave my 'puter on for just tonight so I can see what kind of progress gets made.

[Roland99]

32. I have 3 PCs (incl. a laptop) that run 24/7

One's my HTPC hooked to my HDTV. My laptop I just keep running as I'm on it in the morning before I leave, when I get home for lunch and then a lot in the evenings (if I'm not reading a book or spending time w/my kids - who are on it, too)

And I have a dual processor one in my bedroom (which needs new CPU fans...they're way too loud...I have the case smothered in pillows to quiet it down) ;)


My work PC runs 24/7, too.

[Mabus]

35. If shaming is what it takes, welcome aboard!

Besides, you've just joined a #1 team http://folding.extremeoverclocking.com/team_list.php?s=&srt=8 With your help, we'll stay #1 (thanks for this info mia :hi: ).

[Viva_La_Revolution]

38. The entire Moochy Computing Facility

Is now dedicated to the DU folding efforts. My monster computer doused liberally with freon and liquid nitrogen is busy folding. Now I just need to do some folding of laundry while I watch the pretty molecules.

This one is for you corporate mike.

Here is the graph that the freepers posted on their site the other day. When they found out I had linked to the graph they changed it. But I had already captured it so I could repost it. :rofl:

What this graph demonstrates is that DU's progress in the first 32 days is greater than what the freepers could muster in their first 32 days.




We need to keep the momentum going.

[Roland99]

53. No recruiting of people on other teams. Bad form. Bad form.

We wouldn't want teams recruiting our members, would we?


Just recruit your friends and family!

[corporate_mike]

55. We are united in our desire to unseat the FREEPers

[mcscajun]

62. Recruiting from other teams is pretty much considered "poaching"

And as corporate_mike said, Bad Form...beyond the pale, so to speak.

We'll get there. It Is Inevitable.

84. WOW, I lost this thread somehow

and thought that our momentum was waning. I am still happily folding on 3 computers, and when I checked the FAH DU stats page, it seemed we are still growing leaps and bounds, but I couldnt figure out where our folding threads went. I figured everyone was distracted with other things going on. Then I finally find you guys over here and I am so thrilled to see all the newbies and the oldbies still going strong! I am so proud of our DU team! Let's keep spreading the word! Fold on!

[Mabus]

85. I bookmarked the first thread

and then have been updating the bookmarks since then to keep up. We're going great guns.

I can't be distracted. I've got my little protein flower in my startup tray as a constant reminder so I always know my computer crunching away in the background. ;)

If you ever lose us again, just PM me and I'll let you know where the current thread is now. :hi:

ok, almost all the computers in the mo household are now folding. and moving up.
mo_pinko, at 30
mobieus 2288, at 33 (my son)
mo_drama, at 81 (my so very middle child)
mr_mo, at 113 (dh)

mo_kids should be showing up shortly, but they are a little bogged down with spywear, and need a wipe.
bumped into a few firewalls, and some inertia, but we are off and running.

104. Reason to be (very) optomistic, re: catching and bypassing freepers

A cross-post of sorts. Original posted here: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=132&topic_id=2400013&mesg_id=2402659

Updated version.

From a link on the extremeoverclocking link (http://folding.extremeoverclocking.com/team_summary.php?s=&t=48157) provided in the above mentioned thread, I noticed that stats are started on teams only after they enter the top 2,000. see: http://folding.extremeoverclocking.com/?nav=FAQ )

Freepers first showed up on the radar in Nov. 2005 with 12,451 points and 128 WUs completed. DU first showed up on the Jan. 2006 statistics and these stats are still climbing. When I first noticed this the DU team had 101,769 points and 781 WUs completed. Currently we are credited (on the extremeoverclocking link) with 102,807 points and 788 WUs completed.

sources: for DU http://folding.extremeoverclocking.com/team_summary.php?s=&t=48157
for freepers: http://folding.extremeoverclocking.com/team_summary.php?s=&t=36120

In otherwords, we are off to a better start than the freepers and they know it. Their number of new members and particpants has leveled out and ours are still climbing.

BTW, the numbers on the extremeoverclocking link are updated every three hours, currently (on the more offical F@H DU Folding page, here: http://fah-web.stanford.edu/cgi-bin/main.py?qtype=teampage&teamnum=48157) we are officially credited with the following:

Date of last work unit 2006-01-27 21:17:14

Team Id 48157
Grand Score 197886 (certificate)
Work Unit Count 1607 (certificate)
Team Ranking (incl. aggregate) 1156 of 42428


On the official F@H DU Team Page we have almost double the number of WUs completed! mscajun is right, we're kicking ass.


Let's keep it up DU.

[mcscajun]

117. Thanks for joining the Team! Spread the word...

DUers Rock!

[mcscajun]

119. Just a reminder of where we stand...

In the "Teams Overall Rank", we're #1 for "Change in 7 Days" -- that's a testimony to our continued growth and phenomenal speed in doing so. :)

We're # 4 for "Change in 24 Hrs"

http://folding.extremeoverclocking.com/team_list.php?s=&srt=9

We're also in the Top 100 (97 and moving up!) for 24 Hour Points Average.

123. They run stat updates at different times...

...for consistency, I'm sticking with the Stanford stats for updates. It gets too confusing otherwise.

Nice to check in with Extreme Overclocking from time to time though, for the graphs and Team Overtake Lists. :)

[mcscajun]

124. 147 DUers on board. 213 CPUs. Ranking: 1082 of 42455

It won't be long now...until we break into the top 1000!
And take a look at this Daily Production graph:



:woohoo:

Go, Team DU!

More CPUs!!!

A few more people signed up today. Their WUs will start showing up later this week. I've almost got a friend convinced to join the DU team. He's been to a few meetups but isn't on-line that much (which would actually make him perfect for this - since he doesn't use his computer much). His son is very interested but may want to join a team with his friends. Hey, the real goal is the research, so the more the merrier, although I admit I wish he'd help us out. I just need to find a few more friends to sign up for the DU team.

I uploaded a WU and got a new one. A big one. Right now estimates are a week from this Friday for completion (but I've seen that before :eyes: )

Lebowski is almost done with his (485/500) and should be finished sometime tonight. Then he'll get his third.

152. You (*and Mabus*) are SO right.

so, here's the thread:

[Mabus]

137. We made it! Top 1,000! We entered as #996

after jumping from 1,001 in a blink of the eye!

138. I've joined the "folding fold."

Terrific project -- glad to be of service! :thumbsup:

[mcscajun]

140. Welcome aboard!

Glad to have you with us. :)

[corporate_mike]

145. Awesome - get some of your family/friends to join as well

we need more CPUs

[clixtox]

139. Absolutely Amazing Accomplishment

To make into the top 1000 f@h teams in less than 40 days!!!

A + to everyone folding! Too bad that this is possibly the best news of an otherwise sad and depressing day... Is it time to leave yet?

142. 967 - WooHoo!

Incredible! Way to go, 'DU Gooders'!

mcscajun, you may have mentioned it up-thread already, so apologies if this is a repeat:

A description of the individual WUs (work units) can be checked by name here:
http://fah-web.stanford.edu/cgi-bin/allprojects

Fascinating.

[corporate_mike]

143. #963 (with 226 CPUs) --- FREEPers #306 (with 667 CPUs)

FREEPers move up 1 spot, we move up 50 :)

[Mabus]

144. Our first month total: 152,177 points - 1,135 WUs completed

152,177 points from 1,135 WU completed.

The freepers' first month total was 12,451 points with 128 WUs completed. The freepers' second month total was 154,578 points with 1,449 WUs completed.

That's right, in our first month we made it into the top 1,000 teams (hitting the radar of the top 2,000 teams on January 16) and we folded almost as many WUs and garnered as many points as the freepers did it their second month! Since Team DU's origin in late December we've had 153 DU'ers sign up.

:applause:

To catch the freepers we need more DU'ers to join us. So, just do it!

[corporate_mike]

146. Great stats -- nice to see that we beat the FREEPers

even if it's not in total points yet :)

[Mabus]

147. Once we get into the top 800 we'll start getting more detailed stats

like the EOC Folding team at http://folding.extremeoverclocking.com/team_summary.php?s=&t=11314

I know it's silly but I just like the idea of moving into the top 800.
