"Folding@Home is a distributed computing project which studies protein folding, misfolding, aggregation, and related diseases. We use novel computational methods and large scale distributed computing, to simulate timescales thousands to millions of times longer than previously achieved. This has allowed us to simulate folding for the first time, and to now direct our approach to examine folding related disease."
English translation: Hay guys, run our screen saver and help cure nasty shit like Alzheimer's. Also compare your internet penis size with other communities.
Team 4-ch: http://vspx27.stanford.edu/cgi-bin/main.py?qtype=teampage&teamnum=42861
Our forefathers: http://vspx27.stanford.edu/cgi-bin/main.py?qtype=teampage&teamnum=162
4chan/world4ch lacks a team (unless it's named something less then obvious), someone can post there if they want.
Start folding, and maybe someday W.T.Snacks will not be filled with AIDS.
Ya' know, it's sort of sad how we're not even #1000, and some site called "Toon Town Central" is #99.
Toon Town is an awesome game, I know a guy that is a programmer for it. Although, having to have a friend code to talk is annoying, the game is designed with the kiddie in mind.. not the college students that beta tested it.
age
age for the road to 300,000 GET and TOP 1000 GET
are we in the top 1000 or not?
http://vspx27.stanford.edu/cgi-bin/main.py?qtype=teampage&teamnum=42861 says 1005, but http://fah-web.stanford.edu/teamstats/team42861.html says 993...
which one is right?
> Team rank: 993
That's probably more accurate. The other one includes aggregate teams.
Ugh... we're falling behind.
it's not my fault
well i suppose it is for buying a mac mini
sorry
There aint nothing wrong with a mac mini, for as long as its participating.
age because that stupid team 4chan is catching up to us (￣ー￣)
3rd place GET!
but furinkan still has almost 4.5 times my score... orz
I'd help, but all my processors are currently occupied with stuff from wcg... though I'll probably change that when I have time since my team's pretty much dead.
4chan beat us....guess it was inevitable, since they have such a large userbase compared to us.
o(〃＾▽＾〃)oあははっ♪
gonna fold some proteins! gonna foooooooooooooooold
Top10 GET! Yay... though we're still falling -.-
Ive been doing the folding@home stuff for 4chan for quite awhile now.
4chan's team link:
http://vspx27.stanford.edu/cgi-bin/main.py?qtype=teampage&teamnum=47633
4-Ch's page seems a bit less then 4chans, but i don't know the uptime for both teams. 2-ch's page has a lot of what seems to be ppl that have started, then got bored of it.
is there a way to change teams and keep your score? it seems that 4chan is dead and full of newbs and so forth now-a days. my folding computer is an old 933 p3 with 512 pc133 and it just runs a dchub and such.
> is there a way to change teams and keep your score?
there's no way to take your points away from 4chan's team and give them to 4-ch's if that's what you're asking.
I've been on 4-ch now since the 9th and i am still showing up on 4chans team. i changed the team # on the client and restarted it to.
You should show up on 4-ch's page when you finish a work unit.
its been since the 9th and the pos hasnt finished one yet. keeps saying 4hrs till finish..
not quite sure what to make of those lines...
the "trend line" on that graph doesn't look good ,_,
I recently made it onto the top 5000 list for the default team. I'm working on my 195th WU right now. I joined the project after
my cousin died of cancer at age 24 in 2005.
Let's see if we can turn the trend line around then.
well my little box is chugging away. already did 3 units. they seem to stick me with huge work loads...
Guys, we're moving up!
I can't use my own processor anymore, but please join the team and get the jump on the hideously named <3vil-g33ks>!
Idle time going to f@h.
LETS CURE SOME BOMBS
my little box is still chugging away. i had a hell of a big unit. 20000 pieces or something. anyhow i plan to leave it go for as long as possible. mother had lymphoma/luchemia and every bit helps.
Just joined. Core0 is on 103750 of 125000, core1 is on step 110000 of 250000. Hopefully one of those will be done by tomorrow or Monday so I'll have some numbers to add to the team.
jumps on bandwagon
I just got F@H and joined the team. Happy folding, guys.
How often is the program supposed to update the status? I just started, and it's been saying "Completed 0 out of 5000000 steps (0)" for ten minutes now.
>>133
It will update when you complete a work unit. (If you haven't finished any, your stats will not show up on the site yet). It will tell you when it has completed 1% of that WU (50,000 steps). Also, what did you do to get a work unit that big? Anything, or just pure luck?
>>134
I just used the default configuration, apart from username and group. So I guess it was pure luck - if you can call it that.
I'm doing this on my home server box which is an old PowerMac with a 500MHz G4 processor, so it's not exactly a top-of-the-line machine by today's standards, and I hope it'll be sufficient to finish the WU before it expires. Still at "0 steps".
>>135 It will just take time. Though, my Athlon64 takes about 3 days for a WU of 250000 steps (1/20th the size of your WU). Though that is with it having to constantly yield to me gaming, and AV scans.
Anyone else find themselves unable to upload to F@H? I can get new work, but my finished WUs aren't uploading.
I'm in.
>>97
updated MFLOPS/Active CPU:
Windows: 953.456
Mac OS X/PPC: 765.624
Mac OS X/Intel: 3201.708
Linux: 1707.140
GPU: 59506.531
PS3: 18086.720
i'm thinking maybe i should buy a couple X1900s and throw windows xp on the old 500MHz machine that i'm not using...
We are now on top of 3vil-n3rds by 80+ ranks, but we're not yet in the top 1000 and we're losing ground. So, keep cranking out those units!
I'll be folding again once Apple releases the new iMac, and I can upgrade to a computer where running any intensive application doesn't risk kernel panics. Come on, you bastards!

Just overclocked to 3.04ghz for the sake of the project!

fold@home is out.

It's far more efficient to exploit the puzzle solving ability of humans to tell the computer a correct solution rather than having the computer check every possible solution. Every person that gets success while playing this game will greatly contribute to this whole effort.
What if this is all bullshit?
I mean, with all the computing power that is out there, especially supercomputing clusters - if this could plausibly offer a solution wouldn't more people be behind it?
>>154 O_o there are many people behind it. but ofcourse it could be really all bs. but who cares. you can't find out if you don't try.
bumping because squeeks should make it official and post about it in the news
Fuck Sony, FUCK EM!!
