Hello distributed computing fans
<A HREF="http://forumz.tomshardware.com" target="_new">Tom's Hardware Guide Community</A> has a very successfull <A HREF="http://vspx27.stanford.edu/cgi-bin/main.py?qtype=teampa..." target="_new">team</A> working in the Folding@home distributed computing project. As we climb through the <A HREF="http://folding.extremeoverclocking.com/team_summary.php..." target="_new">ranks</A> we are continually seeking other members to join this team and bring it into the top 100.
Folding@home is a serious scientific project carried out by <A HREF="http://folding.stanford.edu" target="_new">Stanford University</A>
Our goal: to understand protein folding, protein aggregation, and related diseases
<b>What are proteins and why do they "fold"?</b>
Proteins are biology's workhorses -- its "nanomachines." Before proteins can carry out their biochemical function, they remarkably assemble themselves, or "fold." The process of protein folding, while critical and fundamental to virtually all of biology, remains a mystery. Moreover, perhaps not surprisingly, when proteins do not fold correctly (i.e. "misfold"), there can be serious effects, including many well known diseases, such as Alzheimer's, Mad Cow (BSE), CJD, ALS, Huntington's, and Parkinson's disease.
<b>What does Folding@Home do?</b>
Folding@Home is a distributed computing project which studies protein folding, misfolding, aggregation, and related diseases. We use novel computational methods and large scale distributed computing, to simulate timescales thousands to millions of times longer than previously achieved. This has allowed us to simulate folding for the first time, and to now direct our approach to examine folding related disease.
I sincerely hope you'll join us in helping to cure disease and make both Folding@home and team THGC a success!

These instructions are done from memory. I may have left some information out. Let me know if you succeed of fail with these instructions. (Reply to this post)
Graphical Client:
Right click on the F@H icon in the system tray and click on configuration and enter 40051 as your team number.
Console Client:
Shutdown the F@H client. In the folder where you installed F@H is a file called config.* Use notepad to open the file and where is says team number = xxxxx, change the number to 40051. Save your changes and restart the F@H client.
This forum is not very active. There are very active F@H threads in the CPU, Memory & Graphics forums. You might want to check out those forums as well.
I'm guessing the instructions are similar for linux or any other non-Windows OS.
Welcome to the team!

Just joined team 40051!!
I put 3 processors on the job for Tom's team:
1 - AMD Athlon64 3800+
2 - PIII 850mhz (OCed to 876)
3 - Mobile PIII 1.4Ghz
I will add a MAC G4 tomorrow.
Just started last eveing so I have yet to do a WU but I should be adding my contribution by 2/28
This is a great project, I mean so is SETI but this seems to be a bit closer to having a near term positive impact for humanity. Although if we can contact extraterrestrials with advanced technology they may be able to help us fold proteins faster as well. So we need both :smile:

I stopped folding a little while back when my pc died.
now that ive got a new one, i want to resume folding.
Its a nice X2 dualcore system though.
So does anyone have a link to where i can find out how to run folding@home on a dual core with minimum fuss
cheers

While a couple people have replied to Entity's encouragement to post on this forum with affirmitives I have decided that I should do so. (Bump)
I've been reading the main thread for a long time. I think that we may do better with several threads in this section though. Let's see how many people agree with me.

I got 4 jobs started last night on three computers at home. All 3.0 or higher. Hope to see the points for the team add up pretty quick I've got 3 more machines that are sitting around the office doing nothing most of the day anyway. I'll get them online this weekend. I did have a problem with a dual core machine last night. I cleared everything out and started a new Job. Hopefully it will finish this time. It seems like it's going to take 20 hours or so for some of the work units?

Still need to play with my RAM timings some more. If I'd just pull my wallet out and get some dang water cooling, I know I could break 10k on that benchmark...did a little testing and found that my processor will stay stable up to 2.97GHz if my CPU temp stays under 42C. Too bad I can't keep it that cool on air. Oh well.

2970? I must hurt you for that.... lol
Edit: How'd you get it that high?

I just ran my HTT base clock up to 270, and loosened my RAM timings a smidge. It was stable until it got hot...lol. Water cooling here I come.
On a separate note, just got back from an America's Army tournament...and I won a lowly Pentium D 805. New OC target...lol. And the great thing is, if I blow it up, I'm out $35 (my total cost for the tourney).

YOu are such a punk... I can't even get past 2750 if my RAM is on a DDR333 Divider and now you have another proc to OC. DAMN, lol. Good job man and congrats, but becareful water is abitch. Mine is acctually leaking slowly atm which is why im headed to get some sealent again. My advice, stay away from plastic splitters and tubing that is not compatible with compression fittings (which is use lol). It was an interesting "mod" to get the tubing to work.

doesn't happen unless you end the "fahcore_x" in the task manager or something goes wrong (not sure exactly what really), but under normal circumstances, it shouldn't happen, My P4 has dropped 2 WU's which it has re-done, i'm just glad it wasn't one of the big 20,000 framers.

BTW, guys, is there a 64bit version of F@H? would it benefit speed?

I had 4 "check sum" errors on one of my 3 PCs. Pulled out the "OCZ Gold High performance memory" and replaced it with Kingston Value RAM. Not a single error since. If you are getting errors, you might want to run memtest or some other program to test for memory errors. The fact that you are bombing out is a indicator to me that you have at least on bad memory module. I swapped to the cheap RAM and OC'd 10% more on top of it. It's completed 2 WU error free since the change.
20,000 frame unit? I have been getting 20,000,000 frame units.
On another note: with this "donating" anyone ever looked at a tax write off? Think of the PC ou could build....game for 4 hours, fold for 20 per day.....write off 83% of the cost of your computer?

first time was my fault, second time i was having stability problems because i was playing with clock speeds, so those are both accounted for, i haven't had any others so far...
i'm just glad i was on one of the shorter WU's. The RAM you find in this country isn't great, it's all generic. And the biggest brand name i've seen (which i have 2 out of 4 modules in my computer) is kingmax (not kingston) and i don't think this brand is something great, but so far they have overclocked well. i just need cooling to pump up my processor voltage.
