Team OverClocked ReMix - Folding@Home

[SILVERWOLF]

http://img438.imageshack.us/img438/5779/fah19kl.png

Here's a link directly to the Team OverClocked Remix page on the FAH webpage (http://fah-web.stanford.edu/cgi-bin/main.py?qtype=teampage&teamnum=48303)

For those of you that don't know, FAH stands for Folding @ Home. Full information can be obtained here:
http://folding.stanford.edu/

Basically, FAH is a program that you download and run. It then sits in your taskbar and uses idle CPU power to render protein foldings. Once so many frames have been rendered, the compiled data is then sent back to Stanford so that it can be combined with other renders.

FAH has led to multiple scientific findings, which can be found on the webpage.

Now then, if you have the program, you can join a "Folding Team", where your scores are combined with the scores of other teammates to form a Team Score. Once you have completed one Work Unit, you will be added to Team OverClocked Remix on the FAH website.

Here's the team info:
Team Number: 48303
Team Name: OverClocked Remix

Just open up your configuration in the program and change your team from 0 (which is default) to 48303.

Something to note, once you join a team, all Work Unit credits start going to a new profile based on the team you're on. So you'll get something that looks like this:
http://fah-web.stanford.edu/cgi-bin/main.py?qtype=userpage&username=SILVERWOLF%5F87

You can also set the FAH program to use CPU power only when your screensaver comes on, instead of using CPU power all the time. However, I always let my FAH programs run all the time, and I can let it use 100% of my CPU power and still play any game fully maxed with no lag at all. The program also takes a lower priority in the process tree when another program is running. I'm sure my AMD Dual Core has something to do with it too ;)

So then, let's see how must computing power OCR has as a whole.

NOTE: Some member's names on OCR and their names on the FAH team are different. If you're one of those people and want your name changed to your OCR one just let me know and I'll take care of it.

OR

If you're a member and don't see your name on the list, PM me and I'll fix that for you.

[Liontamer]

Yeah, this is styled like SETI@Home, only for (IMO) a much more practical and legitimate purpose. I'm only running on dial-up, but I'll see if I can be of any use in the next few days.

[K999]

Do you know if we can be part of more than one team? Because I am already in one. But I would'nt mind being part of OC team too.

[SILVERWOLF]

What will happen is, once you join the OCR team, a new profile will be created with your name, and you can then switch back and forth between teams if you want, but only the team you specified in the program will get the Work Unit credit. But yeah, you can join multiple teams.

Even if you are on dialup, the only time you need an internet connection is when you're recieving the data package to be processed, or when you're sending to processed data back to stanford. Usually those pieces of data aren't larger than 5 megs.

[Ryoga]

I'm in.

[K999]

Count me in too.

[SILVERWOLF]

I did a little searching, and it turns out that the program core will always take a low priority. This basically means that you can have the program running in the background all the time, and run other programs without any noticable difference in performance.

[bdftesla]

Cool. Never tried SETI@home cause I thought it was pointless. But this is actually useful. I'll give it a shot.

[redchlorine]

As soon as I get my other computer up [needs a copy of XP Pro], I'll have it going 24/7.

As well as being a permaseed for all OC torrents... multiple hard drives FTW!

[vega12]

Being on the OCReMix team sure beats being on the SA team just because my friend suggested it :). I recently formatted my compy, so I just re-installed Folding@Home now and am on the OCReMix team.

[SILVERWOLF]

Delichops made a very nice Team OverClocked Remix Folding @ Home logo, so if you want, go ahead and stick it in your signiture with a link to this page:

[Majin GeoDooD]

I'm in on this.

[Effector]

Up and running. I used to run BOINC (http://boinc.berkeley.edu/), but it eventually died on me. This is a better looking screen saver anyhow.

[Xelebes]

You can make this as a screensaver?

[Gollgagh]

This thing is pretty cool. My mom has this on her computer, but I didn't know that you could pick your team. I'm in. ...just as soon as my brother stops hogging our computer.

[K999]

You can make this as a screensaver?

Yes. Just go to folding at home control panel and click on the display tab. The screensaver option is located there.

[Xelebes]

Yeah, I found it. Sweet. :)

[Gollgagh]

Testing to see if I got this sig thing linked up right.

[SILVERWOLF]

I updated the page on the FAH site with the new team logo and a link to the Team OverClocked Remix webage (aka this thread).

[cobaltstarfire]

Haha this thing is cool and helpfull, I'm in.

[SILVERWOLF]

Do you guys want me to make a table of all participants in the first post? It wouldn't be very difficult to do.

[Horseboy]

Dunno, but I signed up, too.

[Xelebes]

I signed in a few days ago. Almost done calculating a WU!

[Hoopla]

This seem intersting, I'm in!

[Cerd_Fen]

I'm in... F@H: Working (6/100)

[Doulifée]

2340/3000 right now.

[Xelebes]

We're in the top 9 000 now!

[SILVERWOLF]

We're in the top 9 000 now!

Party at my house! w00t! :)

That's his location, it doesn't have to necessarily be his house.
Still I suggest we find out where it is, go there, and have a beer.

[SILVERWOLF]

Congraduations to all participants! As of Thursday, January 5, 2006, OCR has folded 50 workunits!

http://img245.imageshack.us/img245/2326/fah505sh.jpg

Keep it up guys :D

[Cerd_Fen]

I calculated... if I ran my computer nonstop, I'd do about one workunit per two days... (The x/400 thing is one workunit for the 400, right?)... but I don't plan to be going that hard on my new equipment, so it'll probably be more like one WU per week or two.

Yeah, X/N is the workunit progress.

[Horseboy]

Does it really hurt a PC so much if you let it run nonstop?

[SILVERWOLF]

Does it really hurt a PC so much if you let it run nonstop?

There are arguments that it hurts your computer to run it non-stop, and there are arguments that it hurts your computer to not run it non stop. Neither side is very convincing.

Um..I've been letting it run nonstop for about a week now, basically just for Azureus and F@H most of the time...
Hope it doesn't break before I can buy a new one :whatevaa: (which I desperately need anyways...I want to play HL2 :roll: )

The computers at my school are routinely left on for weeks at a time, and they aren't affected by it.

[Horseboy]

Wee, rank 9.
9 is my lucky number ^-^

[Doulifée]

i'll keep mine running during next night. i'am near the end of the 3000 framed WU

[Xelebes]

We're in the top 8,000 now.

My WU is going slow. 6-9 minutes per frame. :( Thankfully it's only 400 frames, not 3000.

[SILVERWOLF]

We're in the top 8,000 now.

My WU is going slow. 6-9 minutes per frame. :( Thankfully it's only 400 frames, not 3000.

Ha, I've gotten ones that are only 25 frames total. Those complete in about 2 hours, but they're not worth very much.

Yeah, my second WU was a 25 framer.

[sae]

I'm on a 3750 frame beast right now. When it first started up it said it would be completed in March *sweatdrop*

Then it picked up and said Tuesday.

[Xelebes]

The 3000 WU Frame said something like that when it started, too.

[Xelebes]

We're almost to the top 7000!

[SILVERWOLF]

Ha, antireality hero is now in first place. By one point...


1 AntiRealityHero 726 5

[Gollgagh]

How do you get score any way?

[Xelebes]

I think a lot of it based on how many frames and how difficult the frames are calculated is how it is figured out.

[cobaltstarfire]

I leave my computer running for months at a time...it hasn't suffered any ill effects yet and I've had it for almost 6 years now.

I'm told turning computers on and off is bad for them because it puts stress on the components with the sudden rush of electricity, they can be shorted out or something I guess.

Running a computer too long might be bad if your computer generates a lot of heat I would suppose...

So maybe both theories are true....

Either way, my computer takes about the same amount of time to fold a unit of 2000 as it does a unit of 100. Which is about 2ish days.

[K999]

Is anyone else here having problems with running F@H program and azureus at the same time? I noticed that when I was folding Gromacs core, both programs ran fine; but for the last few days I have been recieving Amber or Tinker core, which appear to be incompatible with Azureus for some reason.

I have installed and reinstalled the software ten times but it still doesn't work properly when Azureus is running.

[SILVERWOLF]

Oh, and here's how points are calculated:

Yeah, I'm seeing that now, too. I didn't get that some frames were more complex or whatever the deal is. If I had my own comp. I'd do the bonus points thing. Oh well.

[Xelebes]

Keep it up!

Thought it would be something along those lines. :)

[Majin GeoDooD]

Yay I'm #2 :D

For me, both work perfectly together, even with Amber core.

[FlankingLine]

I'm in. My computer isn't all that fast, but it's better than nothing.

[Xelebes]

We're nearing the top 6000!

[SILVERWOLF]

What would really help out is if someone installed the program on a large network of computers at their workplace or something like that. If any of you have the means to, I'd recommend asking permission to install the program in screensaver mode on a workplace network and have it process WU's for Team OCREMIX.

[eternal Zero]

Seems I've ignored this long enough. Count me in, I don't see why not.

[Xelebes]

We're in the 6 000!

You'd only recommend? Asking permission is more of a MUST. Even if you're the administrator of a network of computers you absolutely should ask whoever owns those boxen for permission. Ask them in person. And get the consent written, signed, and dated on paper and file it in a safe place.

Seriously. I recall a story about an administrator getting sued and/or fired for installing SETI@Home on several computers he administered without proof of permission to do so.

The statement (understandably) looks unclear, but he's not using the word recommend in the loose sense you're implying. He really meant it as "I'd recommend asking permission in order to install the program in screensaver mode on a workplace network and have it process WU's for Team OCREMIX."

Yeah, that was poor wording on my part. I meant what LT wrote.

Actually, I'll ask my dad if he could do that at his workplace. We'd really get some WU's pumping out then :)

[MjrGroove]

Seems interesting...
Though my laptop may not be the most efficient protein folder, I'm in.

[Xelebes]

Top 5 000!

[SILVERWOLF]

Yeah, and we have now sucessfully folded 200 WU's. I'm too lazy to post the award though :)

[Xelebes]

Yay!

*waves hands*

Another WU shall be done in an hour from me.

[IckesTheSane]

I was going to start a thread to see if people wanted to start a BOINC (http://boinc.berkeley.edu/) team, but this seems to be just a worthy a cause... and all the work to get it started is done :wink:

I'll get a few computers adding to it when they finish their current BOINC work unit.

Edit:

Nice to have someone with a network of computers join up :)

[Majin GeoDooD]

Ahh that reminds me! I have a P3 1 GHz system sitting here that I could use for this. I'll get it going right away :).

*edit*

Nice.. it's first WU is 1000 frames.

[Xelebes]

Thinking of maybe sneaking this onto my dad's, my brother's and my sister's computer... >.> That would make for uh... 2.4 GHz + 2.8 GHz + 1.8 GHz.

Just two computers at work, and I haven't gotten around to putting it on my computer at home since its on dial-up...

I did apply for a different job that would put me in charge of a lab of about 20-25 computers. The guy I talked with there was very nice and I'm sure he'd ok it... now I just need to get the job, and I should have heard back from him by now, so I don't know... :?

[Gollgagh]

I got it running on three of the school computers. :)

I asked, and it's in a computer lab that no-one uses anyway.

The one I'm posting on has 194/500 frames right now.

[CoochDog]

I've been running this for a few days now and finished a couple WUs... but the one I'm working on now is 20,000 frames, so it might take a while. :x

The problem is, whenever I try running a fullscreen program (like a game), F@H causes it to minimize down to the system tray once every few seconds. Does that happen to anyone else?

[Majin GeoDooD]

Wow.. 20,000 frames?

Yeah, it's a pain in the ass. Get the DOS based one if it's really important to you that it doesn't do that.

[Trenthian]

Once I get my new machine I could definetly do something like this on my idle machine.

I usually terminate the program when I want to play fullscreen games. It doesn't advance much during that time anyways ;)

[Gollgagh]

I have a question. Does the command line client run any faster than the graphical one? In terms of folding speed, anyway.

[IckesTheSane]

I have a question. Does the command line client run any faster than the graphical one? In terms of folding speed, anyway.

Unless you are looking at the graphics, or have them on the screen like the screensaver, I think they should be the same, but I haven't tested it.

If you're looking at the graphics it can slow down the processor, especially if its on-board video, since it has to render the graphics. Depending on the video card though, it might not slow it down much at all (I think i read the grapic is Open GL, while most video cards don't support it, but I could be wrong)

I also have a question about the command line client. Is there a way not to have it in the window? I can minimize it but it is still in the task bar...

[butane317]

Nice! I'm in. My only complaint: Where are the 64-bit Linux binaries?

[Gollgagh]

Cool, I finally got my first WU done. :D

[EdgeCrusher]

Bump.

[Xelebes]

We're in the top 4,000!

[SILVERWOLF]

ZOMG forums are back up :D

[SILVERWOLF]

Indeed. I was rather surprised myself. I thought the google ads were rather interesting on the main page. ;)

http://img7.imageshack.us/img7/1599/screenshot5oq.th.png (http://img7.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshot5oq.png)

Ahahahahahaha! That's hilarious! :lol:

[K999]

This thread should remain on first page. Oh, and apparently I had a worm in my computer, which is why the program stopped working. Since the problem is fixed I would start recontributing WU's soon enough.

[Xelebes]

Soon to be in the top 3500. :)

[Tai_Zidek]

I'm thinking of putting F@H on my mom's computer, but she already has too much on there running in the background, so it might be after I clean out what isn't needed.

I've also talked to a few friends and they might be joining in too. One of which works in the IT department for a local business, and may add 12 computers to our group.

[SILVERWOLF]

12 comps? Wow, that would really help out a lot.

[Xelebes]

We're definitely in the top 3 500.

EDIT: Oooup. Nearing 400 WU completed...

[Majin GeoDooD]

Damn.. my main machine is on the fritz now. It was cranking out WUs pretty fast :(.

[DJ Riott]

Hm, a simple download to help cure cancer... The easiest way to heaven yet.

[Xelebes]

Still clawing our way to 400 WU.

[Xelebes]

400 WU completed!

[Majin GeoDooD]

I think I had the 400th WU, woot. Got my main PC stable enough right now to run F@H, so I'm cranking out WUs again :).

[Xelebes]

Hah, sweet! A 12 500 frame WU!

[Cerd_Fen]

4 WU completed thus far, on my single rig... that I often use for gaming. :D And if all goes well, I should be finishing my fifth some time tonight or tomorrow morning.

[IckesTheSane]

Our team's in the top 3,000! Not bad out of 42,000+ :nicework:

I managed to sneak into the top 10 for our team too. :)!!

And bump.

[redchlorine]

How the f did I get into first place??? :P
Must be from having 75% of my torrent machine/file storage system's 2.4ghz processor working on it. Yay for dedicated servers!

Also, I may be getting a 'reject' computer from work, fixing it up and giving it to my mom with this software on as the screensaver! Another 2ghz computer to add to the pile!

[MisterBiggler]

Seems interesting. I'm down.

[SILVERWOLF]

I'll start pumping out WU's once I finish playing NFS:MW :D

[MisterBiggler]

At first, it estimated that this WU would be done in March of 07. That made me kinda sad -- it's as if the program was calling my computer trash. But it looks like this one will actually be done in about 2 days, so hopefully I'll be blasting a lot of these out from now on.

[Xelebes]

Oh great, a 20 000 frame WU with over 8 minutes a frame. Says it is going to take until 2007 to finish.

Now it's gone down to 7 s a frame which will be done 2 days from now.

[K999]

We have reached 500 unit count.

That's normal. Big WUs take less time per frame than small WUs, in a way that each WU takes about the same time to complete.

[Majin GeoDooD]

I've folded 1/10th of the total WUs :D

[[\(-_-)/]]

Alright, I just joined the team. Is there anything i need to do in order to be listed on the team site?

Edit: 2min56secs. per frame. I guess that 2.8Ghz Celeron D is paying for itself now. :)

[SILVERWOLF]

Alright, I just joined the team. Is there anything i need to do in order to be listed on the team site?

Nope, I'll stick you on the page now. You'll be listed on the Stanford site once you've completed one WU.

[Inaudible Distortion]

I'm in. 256 kb of L2 cache and all. :lol:

[SILVERWOLF]

I'm in. 256 kb of L2 cache and all. :lol:

Heh, that's not too bad. My X2 3800 only has 512 kbs of L2 cache. But then again, I have two cores on the CPU :wink:

[[\(-_-)/]]

Wait, whats going on here? I just finished my first WU, and Folding@Home said that it encountered a error and needed to close. When i brung it back up, it still shows that i have no WUs completed and im not listed on the website. What the hell?

Edit: Nevermind. Im too damn impatient.

[Xelebes]

We're not talking about the energy bill, we're talking about power breakers and stuff.

[IckesTheSane]

Well, it is the middle of winter, so anyone with an electricity based heating system (not gas / oil) would see an increase...

I did see a cost breakdown of running a project like this, and I think it came out to about 30-40 cents a day, which I think counts on leaving the monitor off. Even if you round up to a dollar a day for a power hungry machine, its not going to be an extra $300 unless your running a LOT of computers...

'Course, you can always do what I do and run it on the computers at work :wink: :!: But for the love of pete get permission! :!:

[EdgeCrusher]

I just finished a 12500 frame WU, but it keeps saying "Could not connect to the work server" at the bottom. It counted it as a WU on my WU list in the program, saying I have 10 now, but I'm afraid that I wont get counted for this.

[TheBlueBomber]

count me in as well i'd do anything to help people.

[Xelebes]

We're nearing the 100 000 point mark!

[SILVERWOLF]

Pretty soon we'll have 1000 WU's done as well.

[Majin GeoDooD]

Pretty soon we'll have 1000 WU's done as well.

And we're almost in the 1000s by rank.

100 000 points and we're in the top 2000!

[K999]

Truthfully though, I don't think this team is going to get much higher than maybe 1500 in the ranks. We just simply need more people.

Indeed we do. And why aren't other OCR members joining? Running the program barely effects system performance.

[SILVERWOLF]

Maybe I'll remake this thread in Unmod and see if anyone else joins up.

Congrats on 800 WU's

[Tai_Zidek]

I'm still trying to get family/friends to start this and use my account so we can get the extra WUs, but most of them don't want to, thinking it will slow down there computer, or haven't thought about it yet. The network I had mentioned in an earlier post is a no go, the guy thinks it will bog down the network, but said he will think about putting it on his personal computers.

[Majin GeoDooD]

My brother got a "new" (read: Pentium 3 1 GHz with 768MB ram) PC today that I secretly setup with the console version ;).

I set up him for normal WUs, low priority, 50% cpu usage, and 420MB of RAM usage. Should be good enough for some WUs :D.

[K999]

Team rank: 1715

[zpeterz63]

I just picked up FAH about a week or 2 ago and didn't realize that OC_Remix had a team. I'm on board, both my Athlon 3000+ with 1 gig RAM desktop as well as my oversized paperweight 2.4 Ghz Celeron with 512 mb RAM. First unit for the team should be dome in just a few hours :-)

[Nex]

Bummmp! I've made 2 Thingies now =D woot! My name is "conexion" on the thing though o_o... Nex was taken or something.

[K999]

Our rank is now 1600. And I believe we have 12 new members that are yet to be added to the list on the front page.

[SILVERWOLF]

12 members? Really? I'm pretty sure I add most of them as they post in this thread. Ah well, if anyone's missing, just send me a PM and I'll fix it up.

[K999]

I think there are people missing. There are 44 members at the first page listed whereas at folding@home webpage, there are 56 members present. But I guess some members just decided to install and run the program without posting on this thread.

[Nex]

Bummp =D Still workin away =) I like this project. Easy and it really benifits something good.

[Galasung]

I'm gonna join. Hopefully this won't kill my comp like :x SETI :x did. I'm installing it right now, my screennames Galasung on there.

[Xelebes]

999 WU!

Almost to a 1000!

[Gollgagh]

1000 work units!

[Majin GeoDooD]

Man, I am going to have to set up my new server, or buy a dual core AMD64 if I am to keep ahead of Majin, or catch up to Ickes. :P

Hehe, you and I are just going back and forth for 2nd and 3rd. I'm adding a new PC soon, as soon as the motherboard gets delivered, which should be early this week. Nothing fancy, just an Athlon XP 2800+.

My score would be a bit higher, but my P3 system was out of commission for a couple days ;).

[Tai_Zidek]

I still need to put F@H on our other two computers, but I need a modem or network card for one, and everyone bitches about how the other one is "so slow" but yet they won't let me upgrade it from Windows ME. But I will have it on them before long.

[IckesTheSane]

Really, I'm surprised I've been in the lead this long. I have three solid computers at work that stay on all the time (well, because I leave them on :wink: ) and a 1Ghz laptop at home that's only on in the evening...

Majin, I think you've pretty consistently been about 3,000 points behind me; you'll probably take the lead once you got that Athlon going.

I'm also looking for a new job, and once I do, good bye three computers :cry: But then I'll be making enough money to build a screamer at home :)!!

This new system will be ready to go today.. It'd be about ready now, but I can't find my Win2k CD and am in the process of "acquiring" another.

I also, stupidly, realized I didn't have the -advmethods flag running on the computers. It's now set, so I should be racking up those points.

*edit*

The PC is up and running :). Three PCs of my own (A64 3200+, AXP 2800+, P3 1 GHz) and my brother's (P3 1 GHz).

Team rank: 1348

[Majin GeoDooD]

Yep, we're doing pretty good :D. I'm at 104 WUs :D.

[IckesTheSane]

So one of my computers downloaded a new WU yesterday that is 50,000 frames 8O It's only 8-10 seconds a frame, but it's still going to take about 5 days to finish. The largest I've seen before was 20k. Anyone else ever gotten one that big?

Majin, might be a chance to get closer to the lead. (until I turn the results in anyway :wink: )

[SS4Matt]

w00t. I keep going up in rank.
:-)

[Majin GeoDooD]

I had a 50,000,000 one.. that took a while..

[IckesTheSane]

2 million and 50 million frames? I must have glanced over a few zeros... or 5 :roll:... I never looked very closely at them...anyway, it finished the WU, so I don't know how much it actually was... ahh well, does it really matter?

[Tai_Zidek]

I just had a look at what my computers are currently working on. My laptop is working on a 250,000 step WU, my server is working on a 1,000,000 step WU, and my desktop on a 10,000,000 step WU (Project 2106).

My desktop just started Project 2106. It says it'll be done January 18th 2011...

I really need to switch from the graphical client, but I'm lazy.

[Gollgagh]

We hit 200 000 points sometime when things go bump in the night.

[Xelebes]

I just got a 50 000 frame WU. Whee!

[Doulifée]

i feel lost. my comp where folding was working is still on repair :(

[Tai_Zidek]

My power went out for about 10 hours after a storm last night, so I lost some folding time. I'm on a 20,000 frame WU (p2107) and it still has a while to go.

[IckesTheSane]

100 WU's! yay! :P

Mine's been on mostly non stop for a while now, just we've been having storms the past two weeks, and when a local church exploded last Wednesday the power went out again, but that was unrelated to the power loss.

[zpeterz63]

I'm realizing that if I had known that OCRemix had a team when I first downloaded FAH, I could have 8th right now. As it stands I'm having to live with my recently swiped 14th. *sigh* The injustice of it all.

[K999]

We are almost at top 1000.

[Pallad]

I just got on since this is the first I've visited OCR in a while and I see this as way more useful than SETI@Home. Username is Hardcorey on F@H.

[zpeterz63]

This may be slightly premature, but only slightly (if it is). However, the fact still remains that we have now made it into the top 1000 teams out there! w00t! Hurray to us.

[Majin GeoDooD]

Am I the only one having connection problems? I noticed I was getting a bit more behind Ickes than usual, so I go to check my logs and it's been trying to reconnect for who knows how long. It's happening on my other PCs, too. This is what my log shows:

[zpeterz63]

I've had a few connection problems, but it usually goes after a few tries. Haven't completely a work unit in about a day or two though so I don't know. They might be having server issues.

[Majin GeoDooD]

In other news, we are team number #998 :D

[IckesTheSane]

Am I the only one having connection problems? I noticed I was getting a bit more behind Ickes than usual, ...

You can have a chance to catch up this weekend if you can get connected... there was a thunderstorm as I was leaving work today, so we had to turn off the 3 computers I had running it.. they won't be back on til monday morning. :wink:

I just checked, and it says we're in the top 1,000 teams, 998 to be specific, so now its official! :nicework:

[SILVERWOLF]

Huzzah! We broke the 1000 mark :D

[zpeterz63]

Well, we're finally starting to level out in the point accumulation rate. Time for some more recruites. Quickly now, hijack all your friend's/family's/roommate's computers and install FAH!

[SS4Matt]

I am now in the top 20.

[Majin GeoDooD]

Mine still isn't working, wtf :/

[IckesTheSane]

Any changes to your firewall? Maybe its being blocked now? Try uninstalling and reinstalling it? I dunno... just some thoughts :?

[Majin GeoDooD]

The only firewall I have, technically, is my router.

I use the console version, I guess I can try downloading that again..

*edit*

No go.. this is lame.

Do a virus scan. The same thing happened to me a few months ago. After the virus was deleted, things went back to normal for me.

[Majin GeoDooD]

I use AVG and always have it updated and running.. there are no viruses. :(

[K999]

I use AVG and always have it updated and running.. there are no viruses. :(

That sucks. Maybe you should present your case at F@H forums. I am sure they will able to help you out more so than the rest of us. I haven't heard of AVG before so I am not sure if that program also detects and removes spyware and/or adware. You can use ad aware (http://www.lavasoft.de/software/adaware/) and spybot (http://www.spybot.info/en/index.html) for that. That might help.

[zpeterz63]

I have had a couple of instances where AVG Free didn't detect a virus. You may want to try another anti-virus program as well to make sure it comes up negative. ClamWin is open source and free. It's slower than a lot of engines and you have to manually take care of the infected file, but it seems to do a pretty good job actually detecting the stuff.

[SILVERWOLF]

And a one, and a two, and a bump!

Good work guys, we broke the 1000 teamlisting count and we're still going!

[Angelbane]

hey. i've joined up. Hope i've done it right though.
Is there any way on the site to create your id, or do you just input that in the console at startup and it creates it in the site's db?

[SILVERWOLF]

You input your name in the application, and you show up on the scoreboard once you've completed one WU. Thanks for joining :D

[damathacus]

Add me to the list.

How much bandwidth does this take up? If it's not too much, I can do this from work AND from home.

[Crazyonr1]

I need to get back into this, for some wierd reason, I stopped. Is there some way I can retrive my old stats, cause I can't find the program on my computer :(

[IckesTheSane]

How much bandwidth does this take up? If it's not too much, I can do this from work AND from home.

It only takes up bandwidth when you download or 'turn in' a project. Most of the time the program just sits there computing and doesn't use any bandwidth.

First, you have to download the program (less than half a MB), then once it's running it download what's called a core; a small chunk of data that's usually less than 5 MB's. When it's done computing, it uploads the results. I don't know how big the result is, but it never takes very long on my dial up connection (less than a minute).

The program is only CPU intensive, and really does not take up much HDD space or RAM (currently its 20MB of RAM on this computer). It's nice though, because FAH gives itself the lowest priority possible in Windows (you can bump it up, if you like) which means that if you're doing anything else, it gets full priority until it's done. When it says it uses spare CPU cycles, it really ONLY uses those spare or unused cycles.

Give it a try, and if you don't like it, uninstall it. Also, it gives you an estimate of how long it will take until the unit is done. It will take a little bit to get an accurate measurement of your machine, so it may say something like several hundred days; just be patient and it will come down. It should be around a day or two to a week, depending on your CPU's speed and how much you leave your computer on.

[genghisdani]

Ok... I'm in.

I just downloaded the program and it's chugging away.

[IckesTheSane]

I need to get back into this, for some wierd reason, I stopped. Is there some way I can retrive my old stats, cause I can't find the program on my computer :(

I think all you need is your original user name. However, any work that you did for another team (or no team) can't be added to a new team that you join (ours, I'm assuming :wink: ). So to get back all your original stats, you have to join the same team. (I think that's how it works.. might be worth a cruise through the FAQ's)

If it was uninstalled form your computer, or you're installing it on a new computer, it won't update those offline stats. When you open up the program display it shows your name, team number, work units completed, etc. That work units completed is only the work units that that computer has done. For example, when I open it up on my current computer, it says I have done 60 WU's, but my online stats are 180. The remaining WU's were done by a different computer (or three :)!! )

[Faustt]

just downloaded and installed. seems like a pretty cool idea.

my WU says it will end jan of 07. that cant be right.... lol. it's a 10,000 frame one.

[IckesTheSane]

Boy, if this could be run within the BOINC client, I'd love contribute.

Yeah, I ran BOINC for a little bit before I joined this one. I did like how it made it easier to manage multiple projects, but there were still a few things that bugged me about it. I think they should have made it where you joined BOINC, and then worked on whatever projects you like, instead of having to register with every individual project... Should have been more like an all you can eat buffet, instead of a food court, if you can figure that analogy out :wink:

I guess my other complaint is along those same lines... there wasn't any way to have a team do multiple projects, you created a team for each project...

While I was looking around the Folding site, I found a thread that said they were considering moving to the BOINC client, but the thread was old, from '04 I think, so I wouldn't hold my breath...

Make sure that you have port 8080 open, that way you can recieve data from Stanford.

[sadpickle the exalted]

Just installed and configured it, and the thing next to my clock says it's downloading a core or whatever. So I guess it's connected and shit. Cool beans.

My processor is ass (2.2 ghz) but I will contribute what I can.

You can try forwarding port 8080 to your computer, that should let you get work packets.

For anyone thinking about getting a PS3, you might be able to fold on it. (http://dailytech.com/article.aspx?newsid=3910) There's also some comments about folding using GPU's (http://folding.stanford.edu/FAQ-highperformance.html), though it looks like only ATI.

I was checking out a tech forum that had a folding team and read a few of their threads (spying on the enemy, I suppose). One thing that was mentioned was that they had stopped issuing, or had run out, of 'deadlineless' work packets. I have one computer that is set up to do the deadlineless work packets since it's a little slow, and it has been unable to download any new WU's. It's an easy option to change in the configure menu, under advanced, at the bottom. Might fix it for you, if you're still having problems.

And another bump! Hmm, we could use some new members too. Recruiting time I say! :)

Well, I don't know that I can recruit any actual people, but I am starting a new job tomorrow and may be able to get a few computers there folding, but we'll have to see... The computers I'm using at my current job (technically 3, but one is super slow and isn't on much) will still be folding, but I don't know how much they'll stay on, or if the folding program will be removed.

Oh, I did have a question to ask. Does the folding program disable the screen saver for anyone else? On my new computer at home the screen saver never comes on while it's working on a WU. Once it's done, before I connect to get a new packet (dial-up), the screen saver has come on then... any thoughts? The screen saver is just a generic windows screen saver, not the folding one.

Thanks for the reminder. I am in

I remember when I tried this a few years ago, I was finding a bug where my team kept getting reset to 0; lets see whether that still happens (probably not; this was years ago, on a different computer).

[Emanon]

Yay! I think I joined. Now to see if it works...

[SILVERWOLF]

Roster has been updated FOR GREAT JUSTICE!

[K999]

Team rank: 701. Wow, we are still climbing up. Even when the number of active CPU's have gone down in the past few weeks.

[K999]

Team rank: 699. Did Skrypnyk join? Because if he didn't, bad things are going to happen.

Since this thread has been around in gendisc since last year, I think it would be a good idea if this thread is turned into an announcement or at least stickied so that it remains on front page. Even though the topic of this thread has nothing to do with what ocremix is all about, it at least reflects the diversity of our community, and it does so in a very positive way.

[SILVERWOLF]

Yeah, it would be pretty nice if it could be stickied. I'll PM a mod and see what they can do about that.

First WU due to end on October 6th.

Edit: Dropped to Friday

Would it be worth it to create another forum page just for OCR teams? There's our folding team, and it periodically pops up with teams for games and such,:
Team OCRemix [Halo2 Clan] (http://www.ocremix.org/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=56607)
That was just the one I happened to find first, but I know there are more... Just thinking it might be better the having a ton of stickes at the top of the page...

I also added my computer at work, but sadly it is about a 500MHz CPU, so it's hardly going to be cranking out the WU's... There are some other computers around, and quite a nice server room, but I think they have more important things to be doing...

[SILVERWOLF]

Pfff, like anything could be more important than Team OverclockedRemix - Folding @ Home :wink:

[IckesTheSane]

Well, maybe in a year or so, after I get comfortable at the job..... or start to hate it and wouldn't mind getting fired :D

That, and in the meantime I have to figure out how to put stuff on them.... I mean, there's no keyboards or monitors or anything... what good are they? Who can use a computer like that? And if they're usless, why do we have so many of them? :?

[Tai_Zidek]

None of the friends I've talked to will put F@H on their computers, neither will any of my family. My girlfriend would, but she uses her laptop for everything, and turns it off whenever she's done working on it, so there would be no point.

I'm still trying to get people to join though, just having problems finding ones who are willing.

[K999]

According to this (http://folding.extremeoverclocking.com/team_summary.php?s=&t=48303.), team gamefaqs is one of our top five threats. Losing to them is unacceptable.

[SILVERWOLF]

ONWARDS MY BROTHERS! ONWARDS TO VICTORY!!

Anyways, I'm at college now so my comp will probably be folding all day. Hellz yeah!

[K999]

Team rank: 688.

And gamefaqs is going to overtake us in about two hours. Freakin' GAMEFAQS.

Take a look at their list (http://fah-web.stanford.edu/cgi-bin/main.py?qtype=teampage&teamnum=48759). They have ten more active cpu's than us. Time to recruit.

I'd like to get involved, and i read the first post stuff, but i don't get what this is all about

You should take a look at this (http://folding.stanford.edu/).

What is protein folding and how is folding linked to disease? 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.

Moreover, 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.

So this program basically uses a little bit of computing power from your pc and folds protiens. All of this data can help biologists understand how the whole protein folding process works and why it doesn't work in certain cases.

[Jaswald]

yeah, i guess i didn't understand it. If i can convince my mom to use it, i bet i can have it on all day.

Well, looks like i'm hooked up now. Not sure if i set it up for the team though
pretty sure i did.

Add'd:What's the sccreensaver option for? can you actually make FAH your screensaver?
