    Team OverClocked ReMix - Folding@Home

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    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?

    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.

    I was going to start a thread to see if people wanted to start a BOINC 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:

    woot... 42nd post...

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

    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.

    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 :)

    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.

    OCRA-0006 - Chrono Trigger: Chrono Symphonic

    in Album Reviews & Comments

    If you've heard one Russell Cox piece, you've heard them all, not that that's a bad thing. For such a turning point in the score, The Chrono Trigger seems to lack an emotion that would be needed at this point. Standalone, however, it's a nice song, which may be a little too quiet. The ending helps wrap things up with a sudden burst of sound and energy.

    Personally I think the very soft and simple section with just the xylophone (I probably spelled that wrong, and I don't know if it's even that instrument) from 2:18 to 2:33 is a very emotional part of the piece. I only wish it lasted longer.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Here's a link directly to the Team OverClocked ReMix page on the FAH webpage

    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.
