Time for a new FreeRepublic folding@home thread.

Our FreeRepublic team of 250+ members comprised primarily of Free Republic members in good standing have banded together to donate their excess CPU cycles to a worthy cause. Via distributed computing, millions of computers around the world, contribute directly to scientific research, in the quest for a greater understanding of diseases such as Alzheimer's, Cancer, and Mad Cow (BSE).

Currently, the team is in 188th place (with 940 CPUs - 15,725 completed Work Units and 2,330,000 points)

This is an entirely voluntary program, and if you want to learn more, please see the links posted below (or read one of the previous 8 folding threads)

Based upon surfing a couple of other sites I would have to agree that everyone is slowing down.

Blame it on the 2106/2107 proteins.

Also, congrats to DUer r0tt3n1 for passing DUer conjur as the #1 DUmmie folder. He now checks in with 34,596 points and is #1 over there.

Thought that I'd be the first to congrats him on either board.

I have had both on my computer 2106 about 44 hours the 10,000 frame and 2107 the 10,000 frame one about 42 hours. Now i have 2107 the 20,000 frame one 4 days to do and still 404 points. i have a AMD 64 3400+ with 1 gig of memory. The 150-200 point ones usually take me just under a day.

The best indication that our point production drop isn't unusual is the fact they we are #27 on EOC when sorted by 24 hour average.

Hi Petronski,

How does one tell how many points one has? I just started over the weekend or so, and I am on my 3rd WU.

Currently on p1808_Collagen_Brodsky (AMBER core)

Full Disclosure: I'm working up the courage to ask the wife for BOTH a new Mountain Bike for commuting and a Linux Box :-)

Cheers!

Well, ahayes, I have the GUI version on my home PC.

How do I get a look at the SSE boost so I can go to afterburner? I think I turned on the "use assembly language" when I loaded it...

Full Disclosure: DANG! but I wish I could hit the lottery. I'd move to Stanford & start tinkering with the source code as a volunteer. (I once tuned an IBM RS-6000 on an MD code to go within 10% the speed of a Cray, back when I was a kitten...)

Cheers!

I think the easiest way to get to your stats is to right-click on the icon in the tool tray, select the Status submenu, and select User Statistics.

Thanks for the ping. Switched back to the GUI version after having run the console as a service through the first work unit. That took forever. Should have read the user docs. I thought that by running that way I would keep the process more consistently active, but I only allocated a measley 20% CPU time.

Hopefully production will go up with the settings at low priority and 100% max utilization.

Currently rumming

Protein: p2106_lambda_5way_melt_4_10011
Completed 1551797 out of 10000000 steps

Projected to be completed in about 2 days.

My system has been hung up for several days trying to send a completed WU and get more work.

Connects to the assignment server 171.65.103.158

But fails to up or dwnload new work. Tried to delete the program and download a new client - I'm not doing it right.

Running console mode on XP.

Any suggestions appreciated.
