Come join the new LN Folding Team!

[mdzcpa]

Liquid Ninjas is proud to announce it's newly created Folding @ Home team. Folding @ Home has become one of the most popular new distributed computing projects. So come join us and throw a few spare CPU cycles to a very worthy cause.

The Liquid Ninjas Folding Team number: 11899

The Folding @ Home Homepage (http://www.stanford.edu/group/pandegroup/folding/)

Download the Folding @ Home Graphical Client, Screen Saver, or Console Only here (http://www.stanford.edu/group/pandegroup/folding/download.html)

You only need to pick one client application based on your preference:)

[mdzcpa]

I was digging around for info and realized that I didn't know much about getting started in Folding. So I threw down some quick info here about what I learned getting the process going. Maybe it will be helpful to someone.

It's all new to me too, so my help will be very limited. I'm sure others who know Folding better than I can step in later and give much better advice, but for now I offer this...:)

Like SETI, I chose to run only the Console version (without graphic). So that's the one I downloaded.

Download the v3.14 Console app. Run it in the directory you want to keep it in. It should take you through a set up routine inside the Console (MSDOS window). When this happens, it will ask you for your user name, team number, and machine ID and a few other questions.

Make sure you run the "set up" app on each system. Do not copy files or directorys from machine to machine.

Your user name will be registered the first time you set up folding under that name.

Enter the team number when it asks. LN is 11899 :D

You can use the same machine ID for different machine installations. Different machine ID numbers are to be used when installing mutliple client apps onto one system. It is my limited understanding that it is not a good idea to run multiple client installs with single processor systems as you get a performance hit.

There are 2 other questions during the set up about running a Proxy (which default s to "no"), and whether you want the console to ask permission before it connects to the net (defaults to "no").

BTW, one last important point. Make sure you have the team number in before you begin crunching or no team will get credit. Although you will keep your own grand tally of points going no matter where you go, teams get points only when they are crunched.

Don't be surprised if you do not see yourself on the team rank for a few hours after your first unit is done. It takes a few hours to update the stats.

Hope this helps:)

Many people have asked if there are any caching programs for Folding, currently there are none because of the way the folding program is designed. Hopefully with future development this will change but as for now there is no caching, so you pretty much need to have some sort of always on connection. or if you are on a modem you must allow folding to be able to dial-out.

[soccrstar]

how do i get that F@H stats thing that u guys/gals r usin?

[soccrstar]

u lose ur stats when u format?
ur all time stats?

[Farabomb]

The stats are kept on stanfords server.

Once it finishes it goes up and stays there.:)

wel.. ok.. i dowloaded it... and read the tread and the main link... but i still dont get it how does this help our society?

[mdzcpa]

What you are doing is contributing your spare CPU cycles to medical science. Cancer research takes an incredible amount of computing power to research the causes of cancer and the effects of possible treatment. By Folding @ Home you are donating computational power to the researchers who would otherwise need supercomputers or other methods of getting the research calculations done. Through distributed computing they have developed a methodology of breaking down the computations into tiny bits for PC's to work on.

In effect, you are contributing to medical science and the betterment of mankind by folding.

READ THIS (http://folding.stanford.edu/science.html) for more info.

[Player0]

This research will someday allow us to build new super-humans capable of defeating entire armies! They will eventually replace our race of homosapiens in a Gattaca like fashion, while preparing to fight the evil space monkeys.

Enjoy!

[Spazzonater]

Man these super humans scare me man. And so do the space monkeys. If they are using our computers to do thier work does it effect our computer? And why have you guys wanted to do this? I'm for it i just want to know all the facts be fore i jump into this.

:2guns:

[Drake]

Because it's a great cause :D and a great way to compete :p

I've been using it on XP and have noticed to degredation of performance on games, but if you're doing something sensative (encoding, etc.) it'd probably be best to turn it off.

[lechumbl]

Hi Spazzonater,

Go to the first post in this thread and open the folding at home home page, and all of your questions will be answered.

Take care..........

Player0 That's just plain mean,.. :wink: you know perfectly well that Folding is the science of going from one point in space to another,.. with out actually moving!!! It is instantaneous space travel.:rolleyes:

did you read "A wrinkle in time"? sounds familiar!

[Player0]

CyberDyne, sounds like the movie Event Horizon.

Sure, you can fold space, but you end up traveling through hell to get to the other side, and you still turn out all evil and junk.

[Spazzonater]

Were do you post the stat info? So that the stats come up. I loaded the program put our team number and it is going but how do i get it on my name? For the forum.


:2guns:

[lechumbl]

Hi Spazzonater,

You are using the wrong link.
Would you like me to fix the sig for you?

Take care........

EDIT: Also keep in mind that since your stats do not appear on the Folding Stats site yet, that the name will not show in the sig.

[Spazzonater]

That would be cool if you could help i used the links that were posted on the forum. And it feels good to be a part of something thanx guys you really have helped me.

:D

[mdzcpa]

Het Spazzonater,

Welcome to the LN Folding Team:) Glad to have you aboard!

Your folding sig tag will fill in and start reporting the right way once you've completed a few units and they have been credited on the Stanford servers.

[amdrules770]

Hey dudes, I am changing the team number on all my folding rigs. Watch the going to be moving very fast AMDRULES770. I have a total of: 7.43ghz of athlonXP foldin' power, and 872mhz of celeron "power."

[lechumbl]

Hi amdrules770,

Cool........
Great to have you aboard and folding.
We look forward to your contribution and company.

Take care..........

Every bit helps! Good job on rallying so many MHz towards the cause!

[amdrules770]

Thanks for the welcomes guys, I just changed the team # on my main folder, and am changing over the rest of my fleet asap.

[lechumbl]

Hi AR770,

Glad you decided to join with us.

One word tho:
You will not appear on the stats for a day or two. Don't panic, it sometimes takes that long for Stanford's site to post your results. You will still get credit for any and all of the woots that you do.

Take care, and Welcome again...........

PS........Room for your mate too...........

[amdrules770]

Yup, my main folder is crunchin on a 73 pointer, so I gonna start out with a big woot. LOL, the rest of my fleet is not at my home, so I going to change them over as soon as I can.

[Drake]

No hurry :) Welcome aboard! :DRoom for your mate too...........Room for all your mates, I say :p

[amdrules770]

w00t. I am finally on the list. I think having my first woot be the biggest one out there is pretty cool as well.

Noticed that this morning...although the LN sigs need to be updated yet. :\

The XP2000+ rig at my house has completed a WU since I changed the team number on it, and it was successfully sent. Guess the stats just haven't been updated yet. It will finish another WU at about 1900 CST today...it is chugging along with about 3 min frames! :D

[Jammy]

Uh, do I have to be a member of this team in order to use that cool stats gif?

Jammy

[lechumbl]

Hi Jammy,

:D :D WELCOME :D :D to Liquid Ninjas.

Yes, you do.

The stats will not work or show correctly, unless the user is a member of the folding team and a registered member at Stanford.

Easy enough to do tho, so come on in, the water is fine.

Take care, and Welcome again.

[Jammy]

Thanks for the hearty welcome, but no thanks . . .I already belong to a FAh team, Team Egg Roll from Ars technica. i just think that those stats gifs are super cool!

Hi Jammy,

Yes, I saw the team name in your sig.
Can't blame a guy for trying. :D

Take care.........

[Player0]

Hi Jammy,

Sure, we definitely encourage other teams to use our stats sig :) Some other folding/seti teams even have custom skins for use with our little program. Check out XtremeSystems or OC Forums, a couple other places :)

Anyway, theres a sticky thread here describing how to code things. Heres XS.orgs:

http://www.liquidninjas.net/dc/ln_dc_sig.php?xuser=hardass&xteam=3365&xskin=f_xs

http://www.liquidninjas.net/dc/ln_dc_sig.php?xuser=hardass&xteam=3365&xskin=f_xs

Just change the xteam parameter to match your team number, and your username changes accordingly. Let me know if you have any other questions :) If you have a skin youd like to use for your team, we can work one out for you guys too :)

Welcome to our boards :)

[lechumbl]

Hi Jammy,

I am sorry I gave you some bogus info.
Please forgive me.

Take care.......

[Jammy]

Thanks Player0! I will definitely check the site out. I really like the stats gif, er . . .sig as you call it. We cannot post with images at the Ars forums but they can be used elsewhere, lol.

And thanks for your welcome!

[Kill-Switch]

Welcome to the team Mad ... look forward to seeing you on the stats :)

[Mad3813]

Thanks for the great welcome folks, 3 x P4 3gig machine so far, not bad in 2 hours :-)

Also testing Sig thingy :-)

Ok not working yet, but it will :-)

[mdzcpa]

Welcome aboard! Glad to have you on the team:)

The Sig tag won't show correctly until Stanford receives some completed work unit results and get's your user stats updated. This can take a few days, so please be patient:)

ahh...Stealth mode for win 32 applications..cool. i was looking for one..thx

[WesM63]

Welcome to the team Mad :D Now all you have to do is fold like Mad ;)

[Mad3813]

Yeah, working on it peeps, only trouble is that the machines here are crap!!!!! Only recently started getting P4's, still using PII's as front line machines!! Dreadful stuff. :2guns:

Hopefully the sig will sort itself out shortly, we'll see, thanks for the welcome though :drinky:

[Synthohol]

just remember to choose "idle" in the config and team 11899, we wouldent want the slower boxes to hang on ya!

Hey, Welcome to the team!!!:D

[Ruantic]

welcome to the folding team Mad3813, the folding stats sig should work correctly a few hours after you turn in your first Work Unit.:)

Nice to see some improvements and new faces!!! definitely refreshing

[Kill-Switch]

Welcome to the team EQarigon :)

[tripodal]

Alright, im all joined up again. Running on my XP. How do you guys typically set it up, without it constantly being in the task bar?
What command line options will help me?

[EQarigon]

Must be a demanding program, my temps are up.

[WackyComputer]

Trip,

First post (http://www.liquidninjas.com/bbs/showthread.php?s=&threadid=2524) there's a link to trayit and a service installer.

EQ,

Yes, one of the most demanding.:)

[Drake]

Originally posted by EQarigon

[EQarigon]

So does that mean it runs idle or lets other applications such as games have the cpu?

[Drake]

Its priority is idle, so whenever another app requests CPU power, F@H gives it up. There is no performance intrusion, only added heat from running 100% full load all the time.

Wacky used to have a link in his sig where a system was benchmarked running F@H and not running, there was no difference.

[Synthohol]

i also linked to an article, my thread was called folding killed my pc...not or something like it.


here it is! (http://www.tech-report.com/etc/2002q4/foldingimpact/index.x?pg=1)

[robertr2000]

Well I may have a future family member folding ... hopefully. He has an Athlon 2100+ rig ... but no internet YET.

[sirlabatt]

Im new to this site, I only have two computers runing right now. One is a crapy Compaq note book: P4 @2400 Mhz 512MB DDR 333 Mhz video not worth saying. And my old pc I built a coulple of years ago Asus P4T mobo P4 1400 Mhz @ 1800 Mhz 1024 Mb of RD1800 Rambus (I thik it was). and a old ATI Radion all in wonder (the first radion). I know this system is geting old, I had to get the note book for school this compact was a good deal; I got if for next to nothing, I plan on building a net system once the cost of the AMD 64 FX drops a bit, maybe in about six months or so. I will have both systems runing this folding@home. I can fire up my old PII and PIII's but I dont think it will make any diference.

I dont know about all you guys but I got a pile of old comps, VIC20's, Comador 64's, I even have a old Texas Instrument T1-99 and a atari 400/800 and of course every pre pentium you can think of. Me and my father has always bought ever new pc on the market ;)

if we are falling behind you guys should really try to talk me into buying myself my xmas present.. which im holding out on.

I am so cheap.

[Denovin]

I just started up folding, not sure if its running properly.. can i make it run faster in anyway? when it says fineshed a frame thats a good thing right?

[WesM63]

Denovin,
Welcome to the team M8!! :D

Yes finishing a frame is good. :D Most wu will have about 400 frames.

What application did you use, the screen-saver or the console (dos box). The Console is alot faster, but other than upgrading your computer thats as fast as it will run.

In a few days you should see your stats start showing up at stanford, then the real fun begins:D

[Denovin]

Ive got the console version on one computer, and then the windows version on the other.... im thinking when I wake up in the morn ill probebly switch it over. Interesting to see my secondary computer CPU running at 64 C not overclocked or anything, just running the consol version. And my main, thats OC'd running at 41 C, which.. im going to have to do something about tomarrow as well.. NEED to try to fix my unlock attempt (which succesfully didnt damage anything, unseccessfuly didnt unlock though)

[Kill-Switch]

Welcome to the team Denovin, it's good to have you onboard and folding with us :)

[Synthohol]

btw Den, you did config to team#11899 right?

[Denovin]

most certianly did, I have both my coms at home crunching (main running text, and visual versions, secondary running just text) and brought my USB mem stick to work with me to crunch some at work with text version. Just hope that doing it here at work will get something done, since it will only be in there for 7 hours a day.

Will credit finally show a few hours after my first WU completion? I didnt realise it took so long to crunch this stuff.. about 1-2 days per a unit sound normal?

[Synthohol]

yeah, about right at 11.5 multi:)
it takes up to a week for your stats to come in at first, then every day:)
If you fold it.....it will come:)

[illmatik]

Losing folding power here @ work. Had to ship my 5 2.4 Xeon boxes to customers. Hopefully when my 2 athlons get TEC'd and my P4 gets some ram w/ a bit of FSB breathing room, I'll be back to 15Ghz of folding power again.

[Denovin]

Im truckin along now (c: glad I had multiple systems going, got a few units all at once! Im guessing - ladder = good?

[Synthohol]

Yuppers! those represent the "stomps"(people you have passed) you have made in 24 hours. they will become few and far between when you come up to the 3rd floor ;)

another detailed stats page that shows your stomps (http://folding.extremeoverclocking.com/team_members.php?TeamID=11899)

[robertr2000]

http://vspx27.stanford.edu/cgi-bin/main.py?qtype=userpage&teamnum=11899&username=Robertr2000

I passed the 15000/300 mark :cool3:

I'm building another system in the Fall for my next gamer, Doom3 is out!!! :AK: and this system here won't quite cut it. And I'd be nice to up my folding ability by %150


How many people do we still have on this team anyway
:confused:

[illmatik]

I added about 12ghz that will be on and off over the next couple weeks. When I finish rebuilding all my home boxen, there should be another 6 or 7 Ghz to add.


gonna have a schedule in place soon to get unused nightime cycles our super opteron and quad xeon from 10pm-7AM

[TheGodMatt]

What would a "Critical Exit: Please see www.liquidninjas.com to upgrade to version 3" mean I did wrong? http://www.liquidninjas.com/dc/ln_dc_sig.php?xuser=your user name&xproj=FAH&xskin=s_marb (http://folding.stanford.edu/cgi-bin/teampage.detailed?q=11899)

It means you read some old info.

It won't work till you've been folding a bit.

Here's the new code.

so then; this should work http://www.liquidninjas.com/dc/ln_dc_sigs.php?xfahuser=TheGodMatt
(just checking) - I can't remember if I have the old one in my sig also

[WackyComputer]

In a few days.. yes.

[BurntMayhem]

hey, i decided to give you lot a helping hand, although not a very big hand, but every little helps.
Are most WU's 2500 frames or are they usually less? My system's goin at 1 frame every 1min 13 seconds, and its gonna take 2 days for the first work unit.

[WackyComputer]

Welcome to the team.:)

There are many different WU sizes. Here (http://vspx27.stanford.edu/psummary.html) is the list.

[The VTech]

Hello all. A funny thing happened to me on the way to Google.

No no but seriously, I saw this place doing a Google Search for Overclocking Forums and see you also F@H so I'm here to lend a hand to the team.

See you around the farms and forums.

[DCMan]

Thanks for the help VTech :) And stick around the boards too!

[Kill-Switch]

Thanks for the help VTech and welcome to the LiquidNinjas :)

[Luguzitzu]

ummm... yeah i got the no nonsense console for f@h and i set it up and stuff but im confused how do i join the team thing lol

[Prometheus]

When you set up F@H, it will ask for a "team" ID or number (cant remember which, sorry). Just put in 11899 and it does the rest.

Welcome aboard!

hey guys I just joined your folding team :)

[DCMan]

cool! great to have you aboard! :)

Thanks for the help :)

[sadako1]

I've just joined your team! I used to study Genetics at uni and folding has arisen because of the human genome project. It's the next step in knowing the complete make-up of the human body and how it works, so you're all doing the world a great service - if you think about it, you're all taking an active role in what could be called 'The Human Proteome Project' ('proteomics' being the science of proteins rather than genes).

Genetic data is read in your cells and the data is translated into an amino acid sequence. This amino acid sequence is then folded into a 3D structure... protein. This folding occurs naturally because of the properties of the amino acid chain - some parts being attracted to others, while others being repellant. This is due to the charge on the amino acids - some +ve, some negative, some neutral. Positive attract negative, like-charges repel and neutral are used as simple structural building blocks.

So, as we know the genetic sequence, we can determine the amino acid sequences. We know the properties of each amino acid and so we can model the final 3D structure of each protein molecule! Awesome! :thumbsup:

This sort of thing'd cost research groups a hideous amount of money due to the computational power needed and so the internet was enlisted to do what it was originally intended to do - improve scientific research and further the human race! Yeah, I know, I too was amazed when I found out that the internet was for more than porn and gaming!

Anyway, I've started folding and joined liquidninjas in their attempt to make the world a better place!

Welcome to the team!!

[unacceptable_risk]

Hey, welcome aboard. Yeah its very cool to be able to contribute to science so directly. I like to say its the best thing a PC could do with its spare time.

The best bit is it doesn't interfere with my gaming. or porn. :D

[sadako1]

I got my first points! How exciting!

All I need to do now is find the post telling me how to add the tag to my sig!

Here's to helping your fellow man...! :thumbsup:

[Synthohol]

LOL, i guess you got it all worked out with the sig and all.
congrats!

ps the link in your folding sig is dead, you can use the one above for better results ;)

[sadako1]

Cool, so now the link works too. Cheers Synth. I guess I can use that link for any sig I set up.

Thanks for the warm welcome.

Any way to let it run in the background? I'm not sure how to edit the options in the console version that I have (FAH 5.04). Any tips'd be most welcome!

[Synthohol]

re-run setup and choose yes for run as a service.
open services.msc and start the service.
choose properties and choose restart service in all the fields.

done :)

[unacceptable_risk]

There are some good pointers up in the stickys, Essentially you are looking to install it as a service, so it runs automatically in the background. There are also links to applets that do that for you up there too.

Hey guys, just joined up to F@H on this team, I read about it and thought I would contribute aswell. How do i get the sig up now though like you guys have?

[Nut]

Thanks HoopDaddy!
As for the sig check here http://www.dcsig.com/
There are a few little steps but it should walk you through it.

Hi all just want too drop a note cause I've been folding on your team for awhile and haven't been here much, nor reg'd (am now). I'm jamal's bro-in-law. Got my system and Mama's old TBird folding for the team (lilmean's system will be on soon to help) Invited a few friends too join and so far I see Jerry Mora has, with more on the way I hope! This is a great way for the system to do good while I'm at work or doing other things. Just glad to help!

[unacceptable_risk]

Thats great to hear meandean, it really is a great use of an otherwise idle PC.
Welcome to the team, and congrats on your successful F@H pimping, its not the easiest thing to do :D

[Synthohol]

wow, meandean!
ive seen you climbing the ranks for a while now!
glad you stopped in to say hello!

keep up the good work :)
