Folding@Home: CF Official Discussion Thread - Computer Forum the last post on the page says it all, i have no idea what he's talking about, i don't think he does ether. people ruins things for those who don't know... oh yeah and we are smoking the crap out of their team, go team HWF
I got Selfish :'( i set up my own team to see how much muscle i could accumulate between all the pc's i fix up, didnt get very far though.... I guess i should support the home team expect the following computers within 2 weeks: AMD64 X2 AM2 4200+ -runs 24/7 AMD64 3200+ -family use AMD 2200+ -family use P3 0.75 Ghz -laptop, used at college etc Celeron 2.6 Ghz -laptop, runs like :swear:, doubt it will be any use. XP + firewall + anti virus is a resource hog (and i'm not allowed to touch it with kubuntu ) and 2 computers of *unknown* specs at some point (but i know there fairly recent)
I Wonder if my college would consider running f@h... my high school didn't think the benefits of a hundred or so powerful machines doing cruelty free research outweighed the possible work of doing it. Might have a chance with the college, tho i doubt i can get them to run under my username lol
Just be careful about getting permission. A few years ago, someone on Anandtech's SETI team (if I remember the team right) got in a load of legal trouble when he ran the program on a bunch of his company's boxes...without permission. Fold, sure, just don't get yourself in hot water.
will do, [ot] I think they might let me set up a small cluster (one room of pc's) on a separate network (without net access, or access to anything outside the room!) to play around with for a short while if i ask nicely... Could be quite interesting, was thinking about using clusterknoppix but it hasnt been updated in awhile :/ [/ot]
Dsitribution stands as follows (i havnt had a day spare + at home since just after new year, so its taking awhile!) Done AMD64 X2 AM2 4200+, 1GB DDR2 (Done, but wont be running 24/7 for the next few weeks) AMD Sempron 64 3000+, 0.5GB DDR (This is a friends famaily machine which i keep running for them ) Pending AMD64 3200+, 0.5GB DDR (Monday) AMD 2200+, 256MB DDR (Monday) P3 0.75 Ghz, 0.5GB (Monday?) Celeron 2.6 Ghz, 0.25GB (Unknown, when it gets more RAM! XP is a resource hog) there are 4 more possible machines coming, 2 are friends machines which i maintain & 2 are machines which i have been asked if i can build.
Im putting F@H on all the machines i own, and friends and famaily machines with permission. With the doantion of spare processing on friends machines i think i can get somewhere between 15-20GHz. I have permission from the owners to be running F@H under my username ( Impotence[z365] ) on all of the machines contibuting to the hwf team.
oh gotcha, for a sec, i thought you were just putting it on their computers without their knowledge. Yeah, that should be really cool. Guess we'll see ya climbin the stats board
