FOLD for the TFP!!!!!
 

SHOW YOUR TFP PRIDE!!

join team 31697
we are currently in 1158 place :( come help your favorite forum out!

http://folding.stanford.edu

I joined... Is that good?

Wow, this is creepy.

In my pining for the TFP in the final *hours* before its ressurrection, I wandered over to folding to check out the teams and see if TFP had one.

Sure enough, there she was and I proudly punched in my new team number!

Unfortunately, I had only then just started a new workunit so I won't get on the list for some hours.

Ill sign up, 1158 is no place for tfp!

We need more people!!!!!!! we lost 2 on the past week, what gives?!?!??!?!

And remember to CHANGE YOUR NAME.

I'll try and do it again.. but my mom always fucking uses my comp and shuts it down so no folding ever gets done...

I'm there...

Let the folding begin !

BUMP.
comeon guys show your pride!

No. My pride is elsewhere. Family, children, myself. Leaving my 'puter on so someone can access it, well, no way.

But, you have a nice day.

Sorry, my CPU cycles have been claimed by Seti. How about a TFP Seti team? I hear forming a SETI team is like the 5 th Level of Geek Purgatory.

bah it never worked for me :( couldn't get the folding client to work, me and a mate tried everything, i guess my comp is just too shitty... ah well

Hey, we just broke 1000 (we are 975 currently)out of over 32000, I think that means something (what I am not sure) but to go any further, we need more users!! Not that I really care, I just wanna be in the top 100, but It'll never happen. Although I am sitting in 9463 out of over 150000, so I am proud of something.....

I feel stupid, how do I join the TFP's team? step by step..

d/l the app, then in team # put in 31697, and make sure you change your Name to reflect your board name.

The place to put that info will pop up the first time you use it. After that, left-click the icon in the systray to bring up the prog, and right-click anywhwere in the window to bring up the settings menu. (or you can just right-click the icon, but I like to watch the file working)

Everytime I log in on my Mandrake laptop it just keeps asking for username/team number over and over again. haven't had time to figure it out. I'll be adding a second processor to the team this weekend regardless tho. Rank is 846, maybe you'll get that 100 Bangin.

I just folded some protein up in a tissue. Would you like it?

I'll help ya out

lucky for you foldingathome was in Gentoo portage, otherwise I'd have been too lazy to get it ;) I'll help out :)

If I could only catch up to you b1m2x3. Guess I'll have to put it back on the work machines again :D
Im doing good to stay ahead of PortWineBoy.

I tried to fold, but it'd crash my computer(linux, and it'd kick me outta my account, and put me back at the login screen)
Sorry. Maybe Flieaway will let me put it on her computer...

okay, i'm in. i've got a spare dual xeon server just sitting around.

I had four machines folding last week, but I ended up pulling the faster two (AthlonXP 1800 and 2000). This revealed that my 1800 has inadequate cooling, because my processor was approaching 90 degrees. On top of that, my office temperature was increasing significantly!

My two 300MHz boxes keep plodding along though.

I'm in as well with my ever more obsolete Celeron 700 MHz :)

Team ranking up to 771 by the way.

w00t go guys! :D
here's a link to our team page, so y'all can see how we're doin':
http://folding.stanford.edu/cgi-bin/teampage?q=31697

Cool, I'll be adding two computers to this mess soon :)

thanks Antagony! :)

wow....banginblaz has about 80 wu's... compared to my 18 :(

good job man... you are insane

Ahem 91


It helps that I have 7 computers working. Only 3 pump them out though.... The rest are old slow machcines that only do 1 unit every 7-9 days or so.

Crap! I suggested this like back in October. All I got was a "Huh?".

Now (then, also) I'm folding for the #15-ish team and I've installed the client stealthily (with Firedaemon) on every PC I've built in the last six months (for that team - 10688, Team Sudhian).

Let me know if you want higher performance tips... Like the "-advmethods" and "-forceasm" tags.

The sweetest fruit is installing it on your PC's at work without anyone noticing - but be sure you're not gonna get into trouble.

One guy on the 10688 team has a farm of about 30 Athlon XP2100's running in a rack system. Crazy.

By doing that you're violating their license agreement on the Folding client.

Restrictions:
You may use this software on a computer system only if you own the system or have the permission of the owner

Be careful, there have been cases when people have gotten into big trouble for installing distributed.net in a similar manner, even getting into legal trouble.

Please take notice of Boner's post above. People have gotten into some heftly legal trouble from universities for doing the same with distributed.net

Anyways, please tell us some options to increase performance :)

Not on any work PC's, mind you. Just systems I build and fix for free, and I use the graphical client, so they can shut it down. I tell them what it is, and so far, it appears everyone's still running it. I don't think any of my buddies would take me to court, but thanks for the concern:)

OK, performance tips...

When you create a shortcut (always good to put it in your "Startup" folder) to the graphical client or the text-only console, right-click the icon and go to Properties.

In the "Target" field, you should see something like:

"C:\Program Files\Folding@Home\winFAH.exe"

Add the following tags to the end as shown below - be sure to include the space before each hyphen.

"C:\Program Files\Folding@Home\winFAH.exe" -advmethods -forceasm

The " -advmethods" tag signals the server that you have an advanced system and it will make you eligible to receive the Gromacs core work units, which are usually worth a lot more and fold considerably faster than the default Tinker core work units. The boost is very noticable on Pentium4 systems.

The " -forceasm" tag forces your system to use the SSE instruction set for much more efficient folding. I believe without this tag, sometimes the SSE can become disabled.

To run an almost completely invisible client, check out a program called Firedaemon, which allows you to set up F@H (or any other program) as a service under Windows XP (no-go on 9x).

I am a crazy folding fool.

Got it up and running on both my workstation and server box.

Hey, I have a question. On my Windows machine, I have both the screensaver installed and the stand-alone client.

When my screensaver activates, I should essentially be doing twice as much folding, right?

No, only one client can run at a time, unless you configure separate clients to run on a multi-processor machine.

Kill one of the two.

Got the folding going on on my moms computer, so hopefully her blazing fast 266 will help a bit. =p

I will install and join using both my computer later this after noon... I want to see tfp as Number One....

CLEAR!!!!


***PUMPH***


Beep-beep

beep-beep

I needed to revive this post, we made it to 514th, and we can do so much better.

What happened to all you people? Ah well......

When I last checked, team ranking was 475. This is an amazing performance on the part of TFP members.

I've said it before, I'll say it again.

Fold you bastards, fold!

:)

i joined as Gil Bates

alright im folding now. ill try to remember to install it at home

K I got it set up on the 3 comps in my house. A p4 2.53, Athlon 1ghz, and a Celeron 850. I was suprised at how few members were there, I expected many more TFP members to join up. Hell, I only signed up on the TFP like 3 weeks ago.

*bump* come on people we need your support!

hey we're up to 395....we rock

Switching over. Ive been folding with a buddy of mine for Rage3d. We are ranked around 15 to 20 on their team. No chance of getting him to convert. But Ill try.

Hey wait. I build PCs for living. I could daemon the console version and hide it. Or is their and easier way to hide the console?

VeXteR: there are some sticky legal bits of that, I wouldn't do it.

I just joined and folding is in progress

I've been doing this for awhile on another forum....but I'm ready to ditch them and join the TFP team !!!






[nevermind figured it out problem]

[to edit your team number on linux, put the command in [that you would normally put in] and add on:
-configure

Top 1000 Folding Teams [statsman.info]

Just joined, Hope it helps

Just joined and folding like crazy...

Go into configure and change the team number to 31697.

i joined up but i dont think its working it just sits at the same spot all the time

Count me in. Interesting stuff.

Why can't I stop laughing at this?! Hliarious!

Peace,

Pierre

ok, i'm folding for the TFP team now. tempted to put it on both of our quad xeon poweredges.

I am in this boy right now

OK I just joined up; got my K6-III 400 kickin it live!

OK now i've got my fileserver in the mix (1.4Ghz t-bred) ... and I set up a script I can use to monitor both: http://www.djskaven.com/cgi-bin/fah_status.sh

...and my desktop now! Barton 3200+ in the mix! Go team TFP!

Wow skaven, you're really getting into this hehe.

I finished my first work unit today :D

Currently on frame 59/200 for number 2...

I think our ranking is getting better. Lets hope this thread bump helps ;)

At the moment, I'm in 24th place within the team. I'm catching up quickly, but with 4 computers that are constantly on, it shouldn't be any problem to catch up to spectreTFP. I really am thinking about putting it on some of the servers at work. I feel confident I would have first place in our team within a couple of days. hah

Anyway, anyone who is not signed up, go show your pride for the TFP. It's for a good cause too.

I added a couple older AMD boxes.

What system characteristics are you noticing most affect performance? From my short runtimes it looks to be cpu & cache bound, not memory hungry at all.

I'm catching up guys, as I've moved 2 spots in 24 hours.

woo hoo! I'm #25 now!!! Keep folding guys!

I'm in too.

Number 8, yo! I'd run it more often, but f@h seems to minimize a lot of program windows (usually games). So whenever I'd run them, the window would keep auto-minimizing. Meh.

Check it... Let's keep folding, people! :)

come on people get back to folding

join and help.
