FOLD for the TFP!!!!!

Quote:
What are proteins and why do they "fold"?
Proteins are biology's workhorses -- its "nanomachines." Before proteins can carry out their biochemical function, they remarkably assemble themselves, or "fold." The process of protein folding, while critical and fundamental to virtually all of biology, remains a mystery. Moreover, perhaps not surprisingly, when proteins do not fold correctly (i.e. "misfold"), there can be serious effects, including many well known diseases, such as Alzheimer's, Mad Cow (BSE), CJD, ALS, and Parkinson's disease.

What does Folding@Home do?
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.

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.

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.....

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 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.

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).

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.
