DU Folding@Home Team - Thread #2

[mcscajun]

I'm reposting ny_liberal's original plea here, with appropriate links.

ny_liberal: "Back in 1998, I was introduced to the SETI project through some obscure website I was visiting, so I decided to try it out. It worked pretty well, but eventually I became dissatisfied with the research and results. Without getting into a discussion of the possibilities of extra terrestrial life here, I decided donating my computer time to that sort of project was a waste of time (other than proving the capability of distributed computing projects), and eventually stopped for several years. Then in the middle of 2003, I saw a reference to the Stanford project (Folding@Home) and decided it was a worthwhile project to donate computer resources to.

Today I noticed that Kos members set up a Folding@Home team
http://www.dailykos.com/story/2005/12/22/13216/695

I created a team for DU (Team number 48157)and would be willing to change teams if more people are interested in joining this group

DU Team stats: http://fah-web.stanford.edu/cgi-bin/main.py?qtype=teamp...

The long term possibilities - even medium term possibilities - are tremendously exciting. Every day's folding helps to build the knowledge that will someday produce cures."

So, if you are interested, Download the software and sign up on the Folding@Home website: http://folding.stanford.edu
DU's team number is 48157

The Freepers have a team, and they're way ahead of us. We need a couple of hundred DUers to get on board with all the CPUs they can muster. Please, if you can, set the FAH applet to launch on startup.

This morning's Stats on the DU Folding@Home Team: 57 CPUs in use, our Team Ranking stands at 5,284 of 42,001. We've been moving up fast, and I think we'll continue to do so; this is about cures, about possibilities, about the future. All of these are things progressives understand and support. Kicking Freeper Butt is just a interesting Fringe Benefit. Their current team ranking stands at 805 of 42001; they've got 311 CPUs running on their team.

More CPUs!!! C'mon, DUers!!!

As I said, ny_liberal started the Original Thread
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=364&topic_id=753&mesg_id=753

alfredo quite rightly pointed out that it was getting a 'bit long in the tooth' and tough to load at reply #242

1. count me in - LETS BEAT THE FREEPER TEAM!

I did the SETI one years ago, too, and now my computers much more powerful (not to mention my connection speed).

[mcscajun]

2. Woohoo!!! More CPUs!! Thanks for coming on board!

:) We'll see you in the stats as soon as your first WorkUnit (WU) is completed. :)

[Bonobo]

3. I just joined.

[mcscajun]

4. WTG, Bonobo!

:yourock:

[Bonobo]

5. Question! I got screen saver for Mac and I don't know how to:

1. Confirm that I properly registered for DU team.

2. Check out statistics to see what we've accomplished.

You see, when I'm on SS, I move the mouse and it dissappears. So how do I get the info?


Thanks, in advance.

[Mabus]

6. Some information

Go to http://folding.stanford.edu/stats.html and click on "Donator statistics". When the screen comes up type in the name you registered with in the appropriate box. Once your donor name comes up click on it and you'll get your stat information.

If you have just joined and haven't completed any units yet you'll get a screen like the one found here http://fah-web.stanford.edu/cgi-bin/main.py?qtype=userpage&username=anonymous

After you complete a unit you'll get a screen more like the one found here http://fah-web.stanford.edu/cgi-bin/main.py?qtype=userpage&username=Christian%5FBargmann which lists information like the donor name, their team, score, etc.

Also, you can check their FAQs at http://folding.stanford.edu/faq.html

Hope this helps and welcome aboard. :hi:

[alfredo]

7. It might be good to

hit the FAQ to see if it answers your questions. I don't have the screen saver, but it should have the info somewhere.

Here's their help pages:

8. Thanks to all who recommended this thread...It's good to be able

to get more DUers on board.

More CPUs!!!

10. Team Ranking now at 5,068 of 42,005

:woohoo:

We're going to break the into the top 5,000 any time now...

Go Team DU!

[Roland99]

11. I must have some mega-sized WUs. No stats updates in a couple days.

[craychek]

12. Well

It depends, some don't take nearly as much time as others. I know one of mine I did, took less than a day, but two that I'm working on now have taken several days. One of them isn't even due for three months.

[mcscajun]

13. From a stat standpoint, the longer a WU takes, the more points

you get towards your ranking. :)

[Roland99]

15. I just noticed the unitinfo.txt file...one's at 90% and the other is at 68

Should be done by late tonight.

We'll see how I bump up then (#15 right now :) )

[alfredo]

14. I am over half way done with this WU. This old beast takes forever.

This year I will buy one of the new Intel Macs and should have a bit more number crunching ability.

Don't forget to set your client to launch when you login (at boot) That way you won't forget to turn it on.

On the Mac go to System Preferences, Accounts, Login Items then add you Folding@Home client there.

[corporate_mike]

16. TROUBLE in IDIOT-LAND (Freepers are quitting their team!!!)

They're throwing in the towel already!!

for comic relief, start with Post #188 :)

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/1550656/posts

[mcscajun]

17. They're coming apart at the seams...

...RimJob isn't supportive of the effort. Gee, what a surprise.

Signs are they'll pull something together, with some defections and a renaming of the team.


As for us here at DU...More CPUs!!!

:bounce:

[ny_liberal]

20. We'll catch up and overtake the idiot Freepers

in a few weeks!

Bwahhaaahhaaa ............................

[corporate_mike]

76. Unfortunately, FREEPers found unity and continue folding -- more CPUs!!

[tkmorris]

25. I aint surprised

Jim Rob apparently doesn't trust this whole technomological stuff. He says "I don't open my CPU to Stanford mad scientists. Just a flaw in my character I guess."

His fear of and inability to understand modern computing definately helps to explain the Paleolithic look of his forums. How on earth did this clown find his way onto the internet anyway?

And if anyone actually believed that he would lend his assistance or endorsement to a project that helps further modern medicine, well that's just crazy talk. This whole "let's all pitch in and do something for the good of all humanity" is just not something a guy like him believes in. Ole Jim Rob does nothing that doesn't show a profit.

You visiting Freeper types might want to remember that next time he holds a donation drive.

[Avalux]

71. They're fighting with the mods on the board over there!

They really do have a lot of nerver the crazy little whiners. :silly:

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

215. OMG what a MAROON this RimJob is!

"Well, I think you should take it somewhere else. FR's not interested."

He must be afraid the results might help poor, brow people somewhere.

EEEEEEEDJAAAATTTTT!!! :rofl:

26. Almost Finished My 1st WU!

I started folding what must be a protein on illegal steroids way back on December 26th and I am just at 99.25% and should be on the board with a big number for the team soon. Like I said before, we will be in the top 500 within a month! My iBook 1.33 GHz has taken well over a hundred hours fondling, carressing and tweaking this monster.

[r0tt3n1]

27. Trouble sending in finished work units

Just a heads up to all DU folders. Apparently some of the Stanford servers are having some difficulties right now as can be seen on this page:
http://vspx27.stanford.edu/serverstat.html
Note that some have a status of REJECT, FAIL or DOWN.... Also, at the time this post was made Wed morning, there were several of thier servers with very few new work units to send out.
You may not be able to send a finished work unit in or get a new unit til they iron out thier issues. No worries, the F@H client will keep the finished work units in a queue locally on your hard drive and try to resend automagically every 4-6 hours. If unable to get a new work unit, again, leave the client on, it will attempt to grab one on a sliding time scale til it does get one.
Such is life, always waiting for this or that, nothing unusual..........

[mcscajun]

28. Thanks for the info! That shoujld head off some questions before they

get asked. :)

I've found that the F@H client doesn't like to be watched during a send. Shy, I guess. The two times I had the client displaying to me during a send it crashed out. So, I only check in from time to time now, and when it gets close, I leave it alone, minimized, in the system tray, where it likes to be. :)

[mcscajun]

29. This morning's ranking: 4,687 of 42,023 -- We've got 66 CPUs

on the case now...and climbing!

More CPUs!!! We still need a couple of hundred more, all we can get, really.

C'mon, DUers...Let's get on this.

[corporate_mike]

30. Bye Bye Team Kos

Kos stats:

http://vspx27.stanford.edu/cgi-bin/main.py?qtype=teampage&teamnum=48083

[craychek]

34. We should ask the KOS team

about joining forces, and combining teams, if we combine teams we should be be able to pass up the freepers in no time, anyone else agree?

[mcscajun]

35. Combining teams would mean wiping out one team's gains to date.

I don't know who'd be agreeable to that.


And anyway, ranking is just a number...and beating the Freepers just an interesting fringe benefit. It's really about the Work Units and supporting medical research...not scores.

[r0tt3n1]

37. Recruiting...

Teams can not be combined. The points stay with the team, no matter who leaves, joins etc... I have crunched F@H for other forums in the past and those points have to stay with that team which is as it should be from my point of view.
Recruiting is always encouraged (such as this thread), but dont go to other teams forums to do it! Thats tacky and frowned upon by the F@H community at large.

[corporate_mike]

38. Kos members can come over to the DU team going forward

We can't let the Freepers beat us!

[purji]

50. Question here

When my computer goes into sleep mode is it still folding?
If not how do I fix it.We keep the computer on all day,so i want to make sure it can be folding all day too.

[r0tt3n1]

51. Sleep mode

This is one of the bigger quandries concerning any distributed computing (DC) project. We have all these money-saving, low power options on our computers. But they can interfere with these projects. It is easy enough to turn `off` these power saving features, but, that WILL increase your power comsumption, which in turn increases your cost. If you have 1 maybe 2 computers, thats maybe not too big a deal, but if you are running many machines, it can add up. In my particular case, there can be up to 6 machines involved with F@H, which can add ~ $7 to $9 a month to my electric bill. Not to mention the increased cooling bill in summertime. Imagine what a company with multiples of machines has to spend.... So BE CERTAIN if you are using a company machine, that you have PERMISSION IN WRITING BEFORE starting any DC project!! There have been instances where criminal charges have been filed against people for `illegal` use of company property! DC projects are wonderful, but it aint worth possibly losing a job, or that blissful relation with your significant other over money concerns.
Then we have the wear & tear, and life span issues if always left on debate. Dont wanna go there, it has been debated to death in other places... Anyhoo, enough rambling.
To disable sleep mode in Windows XP: go into Display Properties, Screensaver tab, choose (None) as the Screen saver, then click the Power... button which brings up the Power Options Properties window. Choose the Always On Power Scheme then make sure Never is chosen for Turn off hard disks and System Standby, and set Turn off monitor to your desired amount. Continue with the Hibernate tab and uncheck (clear) Enable hibernation. Click OK, then click OK in the Display Properties window. As for BIOS power saving settings (used more on notebooks), that has too many variables to get into, but since WinXP is so good at it, the vast majority of times, these power settings can be handled with it.

No clue how a Mac handles these functions, maybe someone with that experience can chime in.

edit: If you have the F@H project installed in screen saver mode, then obviously do not set the choice of screensaver to (None). Make sure the other power features are disabled instead....

[Roland99]

52. Yes, VERY good point. Get Permission if it's a work PC

We don't need anymore victims of abusive/ignorant egos in the government or corporate America firing people and/or taking them to court


Google for Dave McOwen to learn of the most egregious case that ever occurred to someone running a DC project on work equipment (and, having met Dave, I can say he got the bum end of the stick in that case)

[purji]

56. thank you!

Its the home computer not one at work. Four of use use it so we tend to just keep it on all day.
I will have the children do it for me when they get home.
I like the computer but have no real understanding about how it works. When I need something done I just yell HELP! and a child will roll their eyes at me and do what ever needs doing.
Thanks again.

[alfredo]

55. Now #4202 with 71 active CPU's. My WU has finally finished.

Keep it up folks.

[corporate_mike]

58. Bye Bye Team RedState.org

http://vspx27.stanford.edu/cgi-bin/main.py?qtype=teampage&teamnum=48064

[mcscajun]

60. Congrats, alfredo! Nice to see you on the board, finally.

:)

We wonders how many other new joiners are out there quietly cranking out their first WU. Yes, we wonders, my precious.

[alfredo]

61. I tried my text client again, and it returned an error.

the WU didn't work. I noticed too that it want's to work on the same protein as the other client. When I launch the text client, the other client resets to zero.

What I don't know is if they are sharing the work, or are the duplicating the work.

[mcscajun]

62. Are you saying you're running two clients on the one machine at

the same time?

[alfredo]

63. Yes. It's a dual processor machine, and I have the clients in different

directories like they say to do.

I'm thinking I might have this confused with another client I was running a few years ago. That was the Distributed Folding project. It ran its course. Maybe you can't run more than one on a machine like you could with Distributed Folding.

[mcscajun]

64. I'm not the one to ask about this...some of the folks at the top

of the Team List are running multiple processors. You might check in with one of them.

r0tt3n1 seems to know an awful lot about this whole DC business.

[alfredo]

65. I wonder if they are on multiple processors or multiple machines.

[mcscajun]

66. A bit of both, I'd think...only one way to find out...

Ask. :)

Meanwhile, there is this from the FAQ:

Does Folding@home run on dual processor machines? Yes, you can. Additional processors must run the console version (with the "-local" command-line argument if run on Windows). First, make additional directories for each processor and copy the FAH Console executable file into each. Then configure them with the -config switch, filling in settings for each. It is very important to make sure that under the "Advanced Settings" option each copy is given a unique machine ID (from 1 to 8). The first copy will default to a machine ID of 1, so additional copies should be given IDs of 2, 3, 4, etc. Each may then be run out of their installed directory, using the -local switch on windows.

[alfredo]

68. I changed the Machine ID to 2 and it seemed

to work just fine. No errors, no resetting of the other client.

You know, I read that, but I forgot all about it.

Thanks for bringing that back to my attention.

[r0tt3n1]

67. Dual processor support

Sounds like mscajun nailed it. We need to give the text client a unique ID. Start the text client with the -configonly flag; e.g. FAH502Cxx.exe -configonly Leave your user name and team ID the same etc.., when asked to change Advanced Settings, say yes and when prompted for a uinique ID choose 2 (or 3, or 5, as long as it is different from the other instance of the F@H client). The client will close when you are finished, then start er up again and all should be swell! That should do it. :)

[alfredo]

90. It is working like a charm. Now I want the text client to launch at

login like the GUI version.

Can I do it with a bash script? What about Applescript?

It will have to launch the terminal.app, then launch FAH5.

[Twillig]

139. can't you just (automatically) launch terminal at system startup/login?

See, from within terminal you can set terminal to run FAH5 when it (terminal.app) launches.

Take a look. When you do a "save as" the dialog box will give you the option to launch
the .term file when it starts.

All I know is that all I do is launch terminal.app and I'm off and crunching (@400 Mhz sadly.)

[mopinko]

57. thanks for the thread .

my box is on, and i have 2 other boxes going on, and maybe a 3rd. i am going to poke the geek child in a minute, and make sure he has signed up. he is already doing it, but is on a team with just a couple of other people.
those freepers are hilarious. not like i needed more proof that they are just plain paranoid and disturbed.

[ny_liberal]

70. Make that 4,034 of 42,051

[clixtox]

72. 3938 of 42054

Our DU team has now passed the 4000 mark and is rapidly approaching 3000... Then 2000... Then?
We need some evangalizing to grow more productive and continue to rise in the rankings faster and further.
Some of us are crunching huge work units, a few are earning over 240 points with our first WU. I was wondering how long it was going to take to finish it and get some points posted on the board for the team. 6 days!

[mcscajun]

73. Evangelizing for sure...only 74 members right now pushing our growth

which has been outstanding so far.

Just think of what we can do with 100, 200, 300 team members.

C'mon DU!

69. I just joined up this afternoon.

27% complete on my first WU. :)

[mcscajun]

74. WTG...we'll see you on the stat page soon.

:)

[corporate_mike]

79. Take a look at this

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

[Roland99]

82. Nice!

[corporate_mike]

83. we'll overtake all those teams TODAY

woohooo!!

[alfredo]

85. 77 processors Rank- 3756

Not bad. We just have to keep crunching numbers and adding new members, we'll make it near the top soon. It will be slower going as time goes on, but the real mission is to help researchers. Never lose site of that. If you are not happy that we are not progressing up the list fast enough, don't worry about that. Keep running your client because it is the right thing to do.

Thank everyone of you for giving a bit of your processor power.

And be sure to set it to launch automatically when you turn your computer on.

[mcscajun]

87. Thanks, alfredo...for keeping our eye on the ball.

...'cause it IS about research...I keep saying it, and I'll say it again.

Beating the Freepers is just an interesting Fringe Benefit. :)

[alfredo]

88. Everybody likes the fringe benefits.

It's nice to see the two clients playing nice on my machine. It might take a week before I see anymore WU's posted.

I need to write a script to get the CLI client to launch automatically. I guess I should hit the books this weekend.

We're making phenomenal progress here, crunching those WUs and contributing to medical research. C'mon, DUers! Get on board!

[alfredo]

94. 3525 Not bad at all.

Thanks for being our cheerleader.

[craychek]

96. We're moving up quick now

but that's because all the teams we're passing aren't producing anything, when we start approaching the teams that are still producing lots of WUs we're going to slow down significantly

[mcscajun]

99. Quite so...which is why I will say it again...

...More CPUs!!!

We need a few hundred DUers on board this project.

We've got 59 DUers Visible on the stat page, with no doubt some additional ones who'll show up once their first WU is complete. A total of 81 DU CPUs are currently cranking...

More CPUs!!!

Each one, spread the word to those who haven't seen this thread. If everyone just recruits One Person, we can double this team in no time!

Go, Team DU!

101. Question about This Research

Is there a gaurentee, that the people will benefit from this research, rather than just some profit driven industry?

[mcscajun]

104. From the Folding@Home FAQ

Who "owns" the results? What will happen to them? Unlike other distributed computing projects, Folding@home is run by an academic institution (specifically the Pande Group, at Stanford University's Chemistry Department), which is a nonprofit institution dedicated to science research and education. We will not sell the data or make any money off of it.

Moreover, we will make the data available for others to use. In particular, the results from Folding@home will be made available on several levels. Most importantly, analysis of the simulations will be submitted to scientific journals for publication, and these journal articles will be posted on the web page after publication. Next, after publication of these scientific articles which analyze the data, the raw data of the folding runs will be available for everyone, including other researchers, here on this web site.

This information is not going to be sold, traded, or held as proprietary; it's going to be disseminated widely and in a scientifically sound fashion. I think that's about as good a guarantee as you can ask.

[stepnw1f]

109. Excellent, Thank You (nt)

[EvolveOrConvolve]

102. Anyone know how the processor count is decided?

I'm running the F@H client on 4 computers, but it only shows 2 CPU's active in the last seven days. (BTW, my F@H username is IdahoDemJoe). I'm looking at 3 of the machines right now as I type this. One is 210/1000, the second is 135/250, and the third is 977/1000. So I know that I have more than 2 CPU's at work.

I hope to have as many as 10-15 computers running the client soon, but I'm wondering if it's calculating all my WU's correctly. I know that the work being done is for a good cause, but I have this selfish urge to beat the idiots over at FR, and I want my WU's to be credited correctly to the DU team.

[mcscajun]

105. Have all your PCs completed WUs yet?

from the FAH pages: Active CPUS have returned WUs within 50 days.

So, if you still have CPUs that haven't completed a WU, they're not in the count yet.

[r0tt3n1]

106. processor count

As mcscajun suggests, its possible that some of your clients may not have finished thier first work unit (wu) yet. They cant be counted til they do.
Without trying to sound condescending, please verify that you have the same user name and team number correctly typed in on all the clients. ;)
I have mistyped it in the past and crunched for a week or so for the wrong team!!
10-15 procs coming on-line soon, eh?!? :9 mmmmm more wu's!!

edit: cant speel today...

[alfredo]

107. I noticed that on my machine, I have two processors and two

clients. I noticed that they are both working the same protein. Is that normal?

83 processors rank #3343

[r0tt3n1]

111. same wu

It is very common for F@H clients to be crunching the `same` work units. The Stanford group needs to verify again and again that the simulation is acceptable. The science behind it is way over my head, but there are myriads of variables that even the `same` work units can and do apparently give varying results. They take our aggregate results and meld them into something coherent (to them anyway...) :)

[alfredo]

113. Thought maybe they were sharing the load of work on

the same WU, not working on the same WU independently.

[EvolveOrConvolve]

108. They've all finished at least one WU

The count now shows 3 CPU's for me, but only 2 active in the last seven days. I've checked the username and team number, and they all are the same. The good news is that the WU count appears to be correct. One of the PC's finished it's third WU last night, so that may have upped the processor count.

I do some consulting for a company that has about 40 PC's, with several of them idle for long periods of time. The owner and I are good friends (he's a fellow liberal in a VERY red state), and he's very enthusiastic about the Folding@Home project. He wants me to install the F@H client on all his workstations, but I'll probably only use the mostly idle PC's.

[mcscajun]

110. All of these are coming onto Team DU?

Awesome!!!

[EvolveOrConvolve]

112. Yep

:bounce:

[mcscajun]

114. I say again...Woo-Hoo!!!

I'll do a bounce wit' ya'

[mcscajun]

116. 84 CPUs right now...I could be wrong, BUT...

I think we're going to see 100 CPUs on our stats any time now.

Keep it going, DUers!

Pass the word along, be subversive...y'all know how. :)

118. A question about the WU's

As you know I have one graphical and one text client. I just rebooted to test launching the text client at boot. It failed due to permission problems. My GUI client started up just fine, but reset to 0%. I restarted the text version with the sudo command and it worked OK, starting at 0%

119. The CLI has

a built in service installer. No need to make a script, or are you using Linux? The X as your avatar is for X Windows System??
If MS Windows, run the CLI with the -config or -configonly flag, the service installer is right there.....

[alfredo]

120. I'm on OSX. It will launch at boot from the login items, but it needs to

be run sudo.

Why is it making the other client reset too?

[r0tt3n1]

121. I have to concede this one...

Not a Mac person here, the best I can offer is to look thru the official Folding forums for Mac OSX here:

http://forum.folding-community.org/viewforum.php?f=8

[alfredo]

122. It's just BSD, not much different than dealing with Linux except

OSX hides the CLI better.

I think I am going to hold off on the text client for now. I will just run the GUI client until I am clear about the issues.

Let's catch the FReepers

[Caoimhe]

132. I just joined and have my first WU problem running!

It says it will be completed tomorrow. Is this estimate pretty accurate? Can I help improve the speed?

[mcscajun]

134. What I do is...

...turn off all the unnecessary items in my system tray (a good idea, generally) and when I'm not using the PC at all, turn off all the other programs, including the browser. Overnight, I leave the FAH client running but turn off the monitor.

Others may have ideas... :)

As to the estimate, it changes up or down based on how fast things are moving on your particular CPU, but it's generally accurate.
Welcome to the Team! We'll see you in the stats as soon as that first WU is complete.

:woohoo:

More CPUS!!! Spread the word.

I started one at home on my Toshiba laptop and it is called Amber, and says it won't be done til March sometime :(
That seems a bit much, doesn't it?

[mcscajun]

149. You'll show up in the stats when the first WU is complete, true.

Has the WU End changed yet?

You're right, March does seem a bit Out There. Is the laptop on a wireless connection?

[Caoimhe]

151. Yes, is that a no no? n/t

[mcscajun]

153. Not a no-no, but it might account for the slow progress.

Just from anecdotal evidence...not empirical. :)

150. #2,903 !!!

woohoo

[Caoimhe]

152. 2883! This is AWESOME!

The fact that the ranking keeps getting lower must mean that more WU's are finishing?

[mcscajun]

154. It means that more WUs are finishing...and that there are a lot of teams

out there who just haven't done much lately.

It's going to get tougher soon...

We need a couple of hundred DUers to get on board this thing.

155. Hit the lounge.

see if you can recruit there.

182. ttt !

[Caoimhe]

156. If I have two diff computers going

does that count as two computers? When I fired up my laptop, I installed the FAH software then when I started, I just used the same username and of course the DU team number. Should I have used a different name for a different computer? I'm still new to this concept.

[mcscajun]

158. They count as two...but only once each has completed a WU

until then, no.

[corporate_mike]

159. You can use same username for multiple computers

It will show up under your username as 2 CPUs, but your username will get all the points.

[Caoimhe]

160. sweet thanks!

I am going to set this up on my desktop at home as well. Just have to show my hubby what it is and tell him to just leave it alone :)

168. aww let them

They are just nasty people anyway. Mean people suck. Freepers suck worse.

[mcscajun]

169. Pay no attention to the Dodos behind the curtain.

And keep on keepin' on.

Anyway, I as keep on saying...this isn't about beating Freepers, it's about helping medical research, about cures, about the future. Catching Freepers is just an interesting Fringe Benefit.

Personally recruit one DUer...get them to do likewise.

More CPUs!!!

[Caoimhe]

175. I am tryin. I just don't know how to explain this

It is rather complicated at first. I am usually in a political chat room and those I've tried turning on to this all say their computers are too slow :)

But I will keep looking for recruits. I just don't know anyone with a bank of servers ready to start grinding for a good cause. The only one I know is my brother and he's a Farker, not a Duer. He's not quite a Freeper but he's insidious with me when it comes to agreeing on politics. He's more of a sociolibertariapitalist. hehe new word

Is the graphic you get when you see the folding going on.. represent anything really? I mean.. is it really supposed to represent what you are working on? I looked at the gallery of proteins and they were all pretty unique... does my glob turn into something unique at the end or does it take hundreds of thousands of us to feed the machine that compiles those pretty ribbons?

[mcscajun]

176. The graphic is a simulation of the protein folding your PC is

working one, yes.

Your PC is working on only the tiniest part of the puzzle; it gets put together with all the other WUs completed by other PCs to get the Unique protein result at the end. :)

[Caoimhe]

187. 2699!!

[corporate_mike]

193. True, but tough to accept that those losers can do more research than us

we must beat them

[mcscajun]

200. They just have a big head start and more members (so far)

Time will tell... :)

[Caoimhe]

167. Question

When I came home my laptop was locked up. I rebooted and now when I try to start FAH it says it is already running. However, I don't get the icon in my system tray and have no way of looking at it working, and the progress of my WU. :(

[mcscajun]

170. Check your Task Manager. If it's not there, it's not running.

If it's not, then instead of rebooting, power off and power back on.

173. I ended up having to uninstall the FAH program

I scoured a bunch of forums at their website and couldn't get a good answer. I could not get any sortof window or icon to come up to pause or stop, but to no avail. I tried shutting down the processes in task manager but apparently that didn't work as it kept saying I already had a copy running. Finally I just uninstalled and reinstalled it. Working beautifully now, but when I connected, it retrieved and started folding a new WU. Oh well. I thought I would install it on my desktop at home but tonight I quickly realized why I don't every use that computer any more. It's on it's last legs.

I hope I don't lose any more work. Do you use the screen saver mode?

177. Nope...I jusr run it in the system tray...and take a look every now

and then. I don't peek at it when it's in the process of sending results and picking up a new WU. I've found it might crash at those points if the graphic is up. Don't know if that's a constant across PCs, or just something my setup experiences. YMMV.

Thanks for your persistence. :)

172. Rank now: 2,828 of 42,147

Looking for some interesting numbers by morning... :)

[Caoimhe]

174. The longer I don't have any WU's the longer I have to watch

my individual rank go down every time I check my user stats :D

Weird, I think I found a new obsession.. I just can't leave it alone. And I thought about what I said earlier about the freepers being mean. This style of competition is the best kind. It doesn't benefit any of us specifically, but all of us collectively, the more we compete. I don't mind being called names by freeps if it's for a good cause. That said... SCREW THE FREEPERS! ONWARD FOLDING SOLDIERS!

[mcscajun]

178. You Got It! That's the right attitude!

The cheerleading and the "obsession with the numbers" is all well and good...but that's just about getting more folks involved. The Results Are What Truly Matters...more proteins folded across the board...on every side of the political spectrum.

And if the Freepers want to be mean-spirited about it, well, there's nothing we can do about it...'cept ignore them and keep on keepin' on. :)

[alfredo]

179. I've been obsessed with it too. Now 2802.

I guess I should hide it and go on. I guess I will once we get enough members. I'd love to see at least 150-200 CPU's.

C'mon, DU!

[Caoimhe]

192. 95 CPUS and rank 2642 of 42157 !!! WOW

[corporate_mike]

194. What about Team KOS merging with us?

There was some discussion about it?

Anyone asked them to join our team to take on the FREEpers?

[Caoimhe]

195. Not possible as per FAH rules... see above

[Caoimhe]

196. 2624 now

[corporate_mike]

198. I meant going forward

If could get 20 of their folders on our team, we'd do better against the FREEPrs

201. Here's a reply from upthread that covers "recruiting"

199. Just finished my first work unit

first one was 400 frames...I thought that sounded big until the new one downloaded...this one's 12,500
so I guess you can expect my next result in Sept.

[mcscajun]

202. Congrats and welcome aboard!

You never can tell about those big ones... :)

[Caoimhe]

205. LOL! CONGRATULATIONS Cadfael!

I've been thinking I had 20 hours left on my first WU for at least three days now. Somehow it is still around 20 hours. My laptop, working on my second WU.. says 11 days. I don't know when I will join you on the stats page. So far it seems somewhat fruitless.

206. FOR THE FIRST TIME WE'VE LOST GROUND

2609 of 42160 now


We are in the tougher crowd now methinks.

[tiptoe]

212. not really...

Almost all the rankings posted are drawn from here ("site 1"):
DU Folding@Home Team Members which includes both a ranking as well as data on # of "Active CPUs within 50 days"

However, the "2,599" posted above was drawn from the "other ranking website" ("site 2") -- F@H Stats - Team Radar Screen -- which at any one time presents a more current ranking (but does not include data on # CPUs while providing data on other teams' rankings relative to DU).

For example, at this very moment, site 1 shows "2,519" and site 2 shows "2,504"...and site 2 will be updating in a half hour and the difference between the two sites will expand.

Compare the times and rankings in posts #203 and #204, the first from site 1 and latter from site 2...but at approximately the same time (PST):

Post #203 from site 1, Jan-11-06 5:29PM: #2,615 ( 96 CPUs )
Post #204 from site 2, Jan-11-06 5:34PM: #2,599

This is very important to me as my girlfriend of 13 years has Huntingtons. It not very nice watching someone slowly die because of this disease!!

[Caoimhe]

I sincerely hope she beats it!

211. Update: Rank 2537 with 99 CPUS!

and my first WU is looking to be finished in about 3 hours! WOOHOO! finally.

[alfredo]

213. Good for you.

I am still working on a real big on, and half way through another.

[Caoimhe]

214. Only 17 minutes to go!

I thought this was funny enough to grab a screen shot:

PACMAN PORN!




:smoke:

[alfredo]

216. Funny (99 - 2502)

Now have two working on the same protein.

[Caoimhe]

218. Yay I showed up! 100 CPUS!!! 2502

Wow that was a biggun.. I shot up to a score of 241 with one WU done! I thought it was a beast but I had no idea how it compared to others. I just started on an AMBER WU and it seems much smaller and faster, though it has 500 frames instead of 400. hmmm

[alfredo]

220. I had one fail today.

[alfredo]

217. Started a thread # 3

Go here to help us poor dial up users
