[SC Swamp Fox]

Nevermind...it just showed up.

[stylin19a]

I wasn't aware I could use the same username on all my PC (4), so I had used pitcherfan19 on one.
I changed it to stylin19a.

Stats are showing Stylin19a with 2 WU's complete & Pitcherfan19 with 1 WU complete. However, My individual boxes only show 2 WU's complete ...total.

have I found a bug in stats ?

says we broke 900, and are ranked 891... woohoo!

[stylin19a]

Nevermind....I now show 3 total WU's completed.

[Katya]

I started yesterday and am on my second WU....my 11 year old has been monitoring our progress and is very excited.

OK, I feel better now. I'll try and debug!

[Marie Antoinette]

WooHoo! Second WU completed!

#66 ... Happy_Babymoon.... 423pts ...... 2WU

Movin On Up!

[Swordmaker]

I have a question, though. How do I tell how many "frames" I've completed? I'm running on a Mac PowerBook and I get a picture of the protein and a progress bar that tells me 8.25% complete, but nothing about frames.

On a Mac, Folding@Home creates a folder in your User Library. ~/Library/Folding@Home. What you want to do is double click on FAHlog.txt to open it in TextEdit... it has all the uptodate info on what you are doing including frames / total frames info.

Hope this helps.

[Swordmaker]

This is an invitation to all Mac Ping List members to join Free Republic's Folding at Home team. The following is an explanation of what FAH is and why it is important. We are currently ranked at 891 out of about 12,000 folding teams. We are moving up at about the rate of 100 ranks every day right now. Let's show what Mac's can do... pile on guys!

Folding@Home FAQ for new users:

What is Folding@Home?

A Stanford University project to find out how proteins fold.

Why it's important:

Proteins folding wrong causes all kinds of diseases, like Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and forms of cancer. Folding@Home uses novel computational methods and large scale distributed computing, to simulate timescales thousands to millions of times longer than previously achieved. Through Folding@home, scientists now have the horsepower to study the mechanics of protein folding. With its ability to share the workload among hundred of thousands of computers economically, Folding@home can help scientists understand how proteins snap, or don’t, into their predestined shapes — and may help to explain the origins of diseases such as Alzheimer’s and apparently unrelated diseases. We're fueling research that could end all that.

How it works:

You download a safe, tested program that is certified by Stanford University. It gets work from Stanford, runs calculations using your spare computer power, and sends the results back to the University.

Is it safe?

Yes! Folding@Home rarely effects computer performance in any way and won't compromise your privacy in any way. It only uses the computing power you aren't using so it doesn't slow down other programs.

How to starting folding for Team FreeRepublic:

1.)Download the folding program from Stanford University's folding download page. Type in your desired username.

2) Type in 36120 for the team number. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT - if you get the number wrong, you won't be folding for team FreeRepublic!

3) The third question asks, "Launch automatically at machine startup, installing this as a service?" - We recommend you answer YES. Otherwise you will have to manually start the program after every reboot.

How can my computer help?

Even if he were given exclusive access to all of the world’s supercomputers, Standford still wouldn’t have as much processing power as they get from the supercluster of people’s desktop systems Folding@home relies on. Modern supercomputers are essentially a cluster of hundreds of processors linked by fast networking. But Stanford needed the power of hundreds of thousands of processors, not just hundreds.

There's no reason to not get involved!

It's free, easy, and you can know you're helping every minute without lifting a finger.

Thanks to Klutz Dohanger for the succinct information. Now, Mac users and Mac interested members of the Mac Ping List... let's go and really make Team FreeRepublic into a Rocket up the charts.

Remember, our team number is 36120... 36120... 36120

If you want on or off the Mac Ping List, Freepmail me.

I use an iMac laptop at work that's on from 8:00 until 4:00. [It's one of those white, small-screen jobs, less than 2 years old.] I can load it with any programs I see fit. From the excellently clear and precise information I've just given you, what sort of units should I set it up to work on--deadline, no deadline? [and any other hints you may have]

[RebelTex]

uhoh - I just finished my 5th WU & got bumped up to #69 on the team stats page (YEA!), but the new WU that was loaded is P2200.

I can't find the point count for this one (not given on description page). I hope it's high because it has 1000 frames and is working on the LARGEST protein ever (projected finish: 2 days, 14 hours, 42 min.)

Here's the description of it:

Project 2200 is a continuation of project 736 (Protein A) starting from the native state.

Projects 735-737
These are simulations of protein A, a 46 residue protein that has a fold somewhat similar to villin (triple helix). Protein A is the largest of the proteins we have attempted to fold so far and presents new challenges in that its folding may involve the presence of intermediates. This is a base system for developing methods to tackle such situations and addressing larger and more complex proteins in the future.

Anyone know what the point count for this one is?

121 pts. It's on this page:

Thanks for pinging the Max Ping List

We could use every single idle Freeper computer!

WooHoo! Second WU completed!

I was wondering who Happy Babymoon was. At first I thought that it was the name for one of papasmurf's trucking buddies. One never knows ...

Couple of points. A folder can use their Free Republic screen name. I scan the stats list and check names against the FR screen name data base. If there is no obvious hit then I wait for a ping request.

A folder can have multiple computers with the same folding name. Work, kids and laptops can all have the same name, if you want to pile up the points. If you want each person appear on the stats list then give them a unique name.

When you load F@H the program will pull the name of the user who is logged in. Change that to your screen name.

Enjoy folding!

[papasmurf]

HaHa, that's funny.

BTW, I made this little 4 in 1 web page for my business, but mod'd it a little for folding.

It's 4 web pages in one. You can modify it to display the page you like by clicking on View, Source..and then changing the url's. ...



Download it Here

Wow, once your 77 computers all kicked in you really accelerated up the chart. I expected Malsua to leave me in the dust before you caught up.

Great job. Now, to keep folding into the Top 100.
