I just folded my first protein

[Cerf]

Hey,

I can't believe it, my linux server, a 233 HP kayak just folded its first protein. It took almost a week, but it did it. No more wasted clock cycles here

[je_fro]

Yeah, I have a cluster of 4 P-133's folding...they finish a unit in about 3 days.
Since I don't need any more servers, folding is the best use I could think of for them...
I didn't see you on our teampage...you are folding for the right team aren't you?
(see my sig)

I noticed that too, perhaps it will take 30 or 40 min before the server updates the lists and makes me apart of it


As an aside, who is (possible responsible for) cs.lmu.edu??

I'm on the list now

w00t!
Did you know that's the holy grail for medicine/biochemistry?
We currently don't have a ruleset that accurately predicts structure from sequence data. When that day comes, the repercussions will be huge. Thanks for folding!!

Are you a Medical Doctor, or do you work in the medical, or any biology related feild?

Good to see my name on there, I hope I am helping with the research.

I might as well get into this too

Right now the last thing on the screen says "Loaded queue successfully". Should I be seeing anything else with the default verbose level?

Also, how do you guys run yours? Do you leave a console window open or push it to the background? It would be nice to set this to load after a reboot if possible.

[je_fro]

It runs in the background, started by an init script....be patient, if your cpu is maxed, it's going. I'm suprised how 'nice' it is, too. I can play Doom3 and not even feel it.
(PS - I'm a biochemistry grad student)

I just jumped in for the heck of it. Does it screw things up if I run it on 2 computers at once, or no? I'm doing that now, but I just wanted to make sure nothing will get borked.

[je_fro]

You'll run them as separate clients with different Machine ID's.
They will both have the same username and team#, but their machine ID's will be 1 and 2. It takes up all unused cpu cycles, but releases them easily, so your performance doesn't suffer.

[Cerf]

Remember, if you are loging in remotely, you will have to do a "nohup FAH..." so that the program doesnt terminate when you logout

[tlyons]

OK, I'm in. I'm running the Linux console on my Athlon 800, and the XP version on my Celeron 400.

Ya'll wish you were as good as me...too bad the only people that beat me are CLUSTERS or whole computer labs (cheaters). It's all good though, its for bettering man kind....Who knows, maybe in a million years when we are all immune to cancer and such it might help someone
