Famicoman Posted August 18, 2006 Author Share Posted August 18, 2006 seems we have progress. http://fah-web.stanford.edu/cgi-bin/main.p...p;teamnum=51258 I am folding on 4 computers, but They are all really slow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparda Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 Armadaender, how many computers do you have folding? I (tehBoris) Have 3, but only my fastest (my desktop) has actualy finished processing one so far. Computers that are processing hardware: 2.2GHz Celeron D with 256MB of RAM (SuSE 10.1) Athlon XP 3200+ with 512MB of RAM (Had problems folding on SuSE 10.1 for reasons I couldn't work out, now running the Xubuntu LiveCD making use of the RaiserFS and SWAP partions) Athlon 64 3200+ with 2048MB of RAM (Windows XP, primerily used for gaming) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emilml Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 tehBoris has also foldet 1, wickedness to the hak5 folding team :p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparda Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 Full size folding Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leetabix Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 I'll join the group when I get a connection that'll let me send the data, which'll be middle of next month. University connection blocks the connection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
armadaender Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 I only have my laptop folding at the moment. I would have my other boxs doing the same but I'm swapping parts out now because of a mishap with my media server. My top priority right now is getting that up again. Once I move into my apartment this weekend, I'll get another box going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparda Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 Whos in the lead now? :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
armadaender Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 Whos in the lead now? :D Ha, awesome. I knew my predomination over the group would be quickly overturned having only one computer folding and all. Hm, maybe I should drag my parents computer into this battle? Or better yet, go out and buy a few used comps for dirt cheap and build a linux cluster supercomputer. :twisted: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparda Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 I alredy have 70% (aprox) of my overall CPU run time doing this, the only other computers I could posably bring in to this is a 500MHz computer which is my web server, so I don't want to do that and my 600MHz PVR, but if I do that, watch TV on it would suck. I have no dought that if metatron wanted to take part he would own us all in the face. He'd probably dedicate 3 Dule 3.0GHz Xeon (or there abouts) servers to it :P One question though... dose any body know if there is such a thing as process prioritising under linux? In windows you can change the priority of a server... dose this exsist in linux and how can I check what run time level the folder is running at?

Good question, I've never run across anythigng like that before but I'll look around google for a while and see if there is anything out there (which there has to be - I can't see how there wouldn't).

Famicoman Posted August 19, 2006 Author Share Posted August 19, 2006 You might want to try the "use internet explorer connection settings" in the configuration menu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leetabix Posted August 19, 2006 Share Posted August 19, 2006 I'm now part of the folding group-using a proxy to bypass university firewall, so looks like I don't have to wait untill next month to start folding proteins after all! I also found out that I've taken a module in my theoretical chemistry course that covers this exact subject, when I looked into the project on the site. We use lower levels of theory as a comprimise for using higher levels of theory (more computer time but more realistic) on the bits we're most interested in, when using small groups of computers. All very interesting stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

armadaender Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 I'm glad Famicoman mentioned this. I've taken such an interest that I'm now planning to build a 4-6 computer beowulf cluster to fold proteins faster. Won't be constructing it until next summer but what better time than now to learn how. Also, I still need to collect the computers and other necessary equipment :roll:.

Famicoman Posted August 21, 2006 Author Share Posted August 21, 2006 Yeah, I'm thinking that if I can get enough network cards, I can spend my free time making a diskless Farm (Cluster) out of all my old machines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparda Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 Running what distro? Would any body kno if it's easy to setup Ubuntu server as a beowulf master node? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n3xg3n Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 another good reason to build an XBoX Super Cluser, ill set some boxes to the task as soon as i can Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Famicoman Posted August 22, 2006 Author Share Posted August 22, 2006 Yeah, I've heard about that, but never really had an excuse to use it. I'm sure I can gather a few Xboxes, but I'm a little strapped for cash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmo Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 I'm curious if they have a 64bit client. For a while i was participating on the RC5-72 project for Distributed.net. They had a 64bit client, so i was wondering if there is one available. For now, i'll go with the regular client. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
