Where'd everybody go?!?!
I just passed into the 50,000 range. I should pass je_fro sometime in November.
And I also have a Dell PowerEdge with a 1.8 Ghz Xeon processor in a rack mount available to me now. As soon as I figure out what all the switches and toggles on the front of it do, I'll get it started. It has Windows 2000 server on it. I couldn't start Ubuntu on it. ?? Maybe that's because it's 64 bit?? I need to pop the case and see what I have.
I'm still here!
I have to stop foldingathome on my main rig very often because sometimes I do "foldingforwork" as I like to call it.
I wish we could get sun binaries, then I'd be able to throw about 6 more cpu's at it, 24hours a day.
I just more than doubled my folding power on my main rig. Dual core at a higher clock speed than my old single.
Ubuntu should be fine on a 64 bit CPU unless that's some screwy Itanium processor. But I didn't think that anyone except HP still used those.:)
Two of my daily URL checks:
http://fah-web.stanford.edu/cgi-bin/...&teamnum=36480
http://folding.extremeoverclocking.c...hp?s=&u=135110
:D
Here ya go tweekers:
This guy wrote a few utilities so you can have a little eye-candy while the folding is going on... http://linuxminded.xs4all.nl/mirror/...m/rph/fah.html
If you're a gentoo user, there's an experimental ebuild here: https://bugs.gentoo.org/attachment.c...71&action=view
try it in an overlay if you want....(it's not perfect, but it works for now and you can uninstall when a better ebuild is written)
If you don't use gentoo you can just grab http://stier.dynu.com/~myportage/dis...0060903.tar.gz unpack it, and do 'make DESTDIR="/" install'. Then cd to your foldingathome/clientx directory and run them.
Some of the deps include:
>=sci-chemistry/rasmol-2.7.2.1.1-r1
>=media-gfx/povray-3.6.1-r1
>=media-gfx/imagemagick-6.2.8.0
The rest of the deps you should have...and if you grab the precompiled versions make sure they are on your PATH, (i.e. /usr/local/bin)
P.S. I'd be folding right now except for this:
# uptime
07:46:12 up 1 day, 16:53, 11 users, load average: 3.73, 3.72, 3.14
:D
je_fro,
Isn't that the same thing that finstall gets for you? I have seen that before somewhere. I never got it to work though.
:D :D :D :D
Hey, i just folded my first protein late last night and i have 4 more proteins at 30-50 percent.
Welcome to the team!:)
I am sure that this has been said somewhere and i just havn't been searching log enough but i was wondering, What determines your score?
I believe that each work unit is assigned a certain number of points, so when you send back the result you get that many points. I assume the number of points is based on the complexity or length of the work unit you get.
This is beginning to become an addiction, ive gone from folding on 3 cpu's to folding on 7 cpu's.

"Palo Alto (CA) - Stanford University's Folding@Home project today announced a new software that will enable the use of graphics cards within the distributed computing project. Project leaders will tap into the floating point horsepower of graphics chips and hope to see a massive jump in processing power that can lead to more research results in less time."
Bah, only runs on high-end ATI chips. No way I'm spending that much and then having to deal with ATI drivers.:(
Yay. Just joined the team.
I had to swallow my pride as this project is from Stanford and I went to UC Berkeley. But, I believe Stanford's project to be more noble than Cal's SETI@home.

Woo Hoo... Just moved into 15th place, up from 58 when I started up again a few months ago. I'm in the 90,000s. Should break 100,000 soon. :cool:
.
I hope they come up with some cures for stuff soon. I want to smoke a lot of cigars!!!
:D

Just broke 100,000.

Is anybody else paying attention to this folding stuff?
-
Yeah, yeah, I know...
My CPU's stay hot these days, but it's usually running a simulation with a small to medium sized protein, or backing up my dvd collection ;-) . I wish that Pande would release sparc binaries, I'd be all over that!
Anyhoo...mostly I run folding when I'm asleep, but there's a lot of power on the team now...I pretty much gave up trying to stay at the top when ions passed me.
Heh...so pass me if you must! My feelings won't be hurt, I promise!
Yep, dual cores folding 90% of the time FTW!:DQuote:

I'm commin for ya bs_texas :-)

P.S. that last beta of the 64bit multi-core client wrote like 47Gigs of data to my hard drive last month and filled the drive and as a result went offline for a few days.
I just passed 10k. At the rate I'm going, I might pass 100k in the next 7328668273581487276345827358 years
HaHa...I dunno if you guys caught this or not...it gave me a chuckle :D
http://www.stanford.edu/group/pandeg...ding/reloaded/
Yeah, thats a hoot.
Hehe, nice.:)
Maybe we should set a goal to get into the top 100 next year. I think it can be done. We need to recruit and add more procs. I have a few slower ones I could start up.
mhanson
I think we were at one point, or at least very close. Folding is getting more popular and people are throwing a lot of CPU power at it these days, so it's getting harder and harder to break the top 100.
Yeah, I think next year is our year to make the top 100.
Woohoo, top 15 for me this evening. Im cookin with gas now!
stats
mhanson
.
Heading toward the top 10!!
This is a competition where it's ok to be passed. :cool:
Don't forget the extremeoverclocking stats!
Damn! I saw that.
..must add more procs..must add more procs....must add more procs....must add more procs....must add more procs..
Merry Christmas.

Is there a sticky or something besides the Folding@home page that takes baby steps with installing the FAH504 client? I tried their page methods and finstall, with no luck. I did click on permissions and checked to appropriate box, but it keep saying I don't have a directory. I'm lost
I am using Suse 10.2, on a 2.4B Northwood P4, 533 FSB, Intel 845 GBV Mobo, ATI 9000 Pro 128, Video card, 2 X 256 PC2100.
If you could point out where to read, I would appreciate it.
tell us which client you downloaded and where you put the file, i.e. "graphical" or "command line".
m
I downloaded the "Linux Console" (X86 and BSD) ? 5.04
I believe that is the 32 bit version for Linux and the only one I saw. I put it in a 'Folding' folder on my Gnome desktop
That is very similar to windows, installing and opening is a different matter.
All I really intend to do is fold, but I really think I like this Suse distro, so I would like to keep it.
Ok, simple as pie:
Open "Terminal" from the "Applications > "Accessories" menu. At the command prompt do:
"cd Desktop/Folding" this will put you in the "Folding" directory you created on your desktop.
Then do: "ls" to make sure that "FAH5-Linux.exe" is in there. Then do: "chmod +x FAH5-Linux.exe" to set the executable bit on that file. This makes sure that the system know that this file is executable, that is can be run. Then do: "./FAH5-Linux.exe". This runs the program.
You will be prompted for your FAH username and team number. The team number is 36480 for the justlinux_regulars team. You can go with the defaults for the other questions.
Thats is.
Mike
Thanks for the link BS..... Cool site.Quote:

Actually, the speed is less than satisfying: I can't fully maximise the amd64 x2 cpu with the smp client! I've had much trouble getting any real core to work, and I'm really stuck with core_82.... sigh...
And off I go, refolding the same protein.
