(Vanity) FreeRepublic Folding@Home Project Update (We're in the Top 1,200!)

OK, new thread for the next week.

First, a big shout out to the SETI members who have added CPUs to the effort. Remember, its Team 36120, NOT Team 0.

Next, congrats to all for bumping our team up to 104 processors and 76 users. We have a number of new users in the team, with Clara Lou, fzx12345, SamfromLivingston, brityank, manwiththehands and Tami all popping onto the hit list this week.

Malsua, uriah and Ken in Texas are solidly in the top 10. Malsua is continuing to add systems and now accounts for 10% of the FR total. Great job!

Free Republic Folding@Home Stats Page

On the global front, Free Republic Folders is now listed at # 1196. We are poised to overtake (today):

carletonu (maybe in MN?)
Helms-Deep
2*ian
Dynadues
Soluchis
Greece and soon the
University of Pennsylvania!

We were passed by one team, SISD. My guess is that this team really is the computers of an Independent School District that were all "volunteered" to fold over the holidays. They are producing points at a rate of 37,000 points per day. As we gain members from the 100,000 FReepers that visit JimRob's place I expect that we will have a much greater long term growth than them.

Anybody running the client on Linux or FreeBSD? I've got a standard method of backrounding processes, but just thought I'd ask before I try it on this.

"nohup command-name&" ought to work shouldn't it?

Thanks! :-)

"We have a chance to pop into the Top 1000 Teams by Saturday if we can have a few more systems added to the pack."

Count me in!!

[Malsua]

Count me in!!

Great! Everyone counts!

Ok, I like Seamoth's, so I will copy it, thanks.

How do you find out how many points your WUs are worth?

Okay, my machine is running now. I have another I will add when dh is at work ;)

Thanks! Apparently the number of frames have no relationship with the actual computational time/points! Got it!

Folding bump!

[papasmurf]

OK, I just got 2 more up and online!!!

I'm gon' be da' king...on my block!


:O)

Much more fun than origami!!!

I am enjoying folding, but it is NOT more fun. . . than. . .

Oh.

Origami.

Never mind. . .

I found this: -local Use configuration files from local directory. This option has no meaning on Linux, but is vital on Windows and Macintosh for running multiple clients on a machine. It instructs the client to read its config information from the client.cfg file in the current directory rather than, on Windows, from the installation directory specified in the registry, or, on Macintosh, the Library/Folding@home directory. Information such as the user name, team name, proxy information, machine ID are maintained in the client.cfg file. The flag ensures that work does not conflict. Use "-local" only if you are planning on running more than one instance of Folding@Home on the same machine (this is only useful if you are running on a multi-processor machine). Create as many directories as there are processors on the machine, copy the exe files and client.cfg file into each of these directories, run "FAH3Console -local -config" on each and specify unique machine IDs for each directory (under the Advanced Settings option). From then onwards you may run each copy by switching to its directory and running with the -local flag. over here: http://folding.stanford.edu/console-userguide.html Thought since I have 3 MP's and a HT machine, I might try it out...wanna'a help with some advice?

BTW, I now have 5 machines up. lalalalalala

[paulat]

Never mind. . .

LOLOL!!!

For my next analogy...more fun than...
