Casper Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 Since several of you run Folding@Home, I figured I'd put together an Ohio Riders team on Stanford's site. Our team number is 201846.http://fah-web.stanford.edu/cgi-bin/main.py?qtype=teampage&teamnum=201846For more info about Folding@Home:http://folding.stanford.eduIt's a great way to help researchers without doing anything. Just install the software, and it runs in the background.Our goal: to understand protein folding, misfolding, and related diseases You can help scientists studying these diseases by simply running a piece of software. Folding@home is a distributed computing project -- people from throughout the world download and run software to band together to make one of the largest supercomputers in the world. Every computer takes the project closer to our goals. Folding@home uses novel computational methods coupled to distributed computing, to simulate problems millions of times more challenging than previously achieved. Protein folding is linked to disease, such as Alzheimer's, ALS, Huntington's, Parkinson's disease, and many CancersMoreover, when proteins do not fold correctly (i.e. "misfold"), there can be serious consequences, including many well known diseases, such as Alzheimer's, Mad Cow (BSE), CJD, ALS, Huntington's, Parkinson's disease, and many Cancers and cancer-related syndromes. What is protein folding?Proteins are biology's workhorses -- its "nanomachines." Before proteins can carry out these important functions, they assemble themselves, or "fold." The process of protein folding, while critical and fundamental to virtually all of biology, in many ways remains a mystery. What have we done so far?We have had several successes. You can read about them on our Science page, on our Awards page, or go directly to our Results page. Want to learn more?Click on the links on the left for downloads or more information. You can also download our Executive Summary, which is a PDF suitable for distribution. One can also help by donating funds to the project, via Stanford University.

jporter12 Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 Great! Now I need to go in and change the team number on all the clients that I have running. (You know I'm on top of doing it ASAP!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chevysoldier Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 Well, I downloaded this and have it running. Is there a 64 bit application or did I miss is? Right now this is what I'm working on:Current Work Unit-----------------Name: ALZHEIMER DISEASE AMYLOIDTag: -Download time: February 23 02:53:20Due time: March 16 02:53:20Progress: 0% [__________] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jporter12 Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 Nope, no x64 version that I know of. There is a multi-core version, but I haven't used it.I have it set to pause working when running on battery power on the laptop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casper Posted February 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 The 64bit linux thing is kicking me. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jporter12 Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 For some reason, he past 2 days when I go to check the progress on my laptop, it's not running. Neither the taskbar client, or the core. I need to investigate.I'm also not having any success with running the command line version as a service on my Home Server box. It ran fine about a year ago, before the last reload. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chevysoldier Posted February 25, 2011 Report Share Posted February 25, 2011 I just installed it and let it run. I'm not as nerdy as the rest of you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chevysoldier Posted February 26, 2011 Report Share Posted February 26, 2011 (edited) Looks like I'm in second place! Sorry about that chevysoldier. lol, yeah apparently my comp sucks. But I put it on my old laptop that I keep hooked up to the TV for movies. Maybe I'll get a few more points with that.

I put it on both our laptops, my desktop, CPU and GPU, and the home server box, which I SHOULD run the SMP client, since it does almost nothing anyway!

Bagger Posted February 26, 2011 Report Share Posted February 26, 2011 I finally turned my ps3 on and should be linked to the team Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alienpi Posted February 27, 2011 Report Share Posted February 27, 2011 I got my quadcore running the SMP client along with the graphics card. Other than that my old Linux Pentium 4 is running. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jporter12 Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 My office is unusually warm now thanks to Folding@home. That was an advantage when I kept all the computers in my bedroom, since there's no direct heat in there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alienpi Posted March 29, 2011 Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 Despite throttling my machines to make them more user-friendly, I think I may be in first place soon! What's up with your folding jporter12? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
