What's folding? http://folding.stanford.edu/

Get the client: http://folding.stanford.edu/home/guide/ ... ide/#ntoc8

You will be asked a few questions, nothing heavy - just please remember to fill in our group number: See the client in action after installation: http://folding.stanford.edu/client/

Check our stats: http://fah-web.stanford.edu/cgi-bin/mai ... num=225307

Thanks Titan for the PM, it was his idea :)

And Thank You for joining the team. I'm proud of you!

this sounds cool, i'm in... unless the client is bloated ;P
will check this once i get home!

Yes, the client is slightly bloated, but -> there's also a Windown version for computers in the office ;) lol

Nevermind, every little CPU power helps. I will connect to it, too, asap.

Famous Rhow quote "pixels are bloat". Well ... he never actually said that but I bet it'd might've crossed hiz mind. ;)

Being dork ... laterz guys ... vll!

^ everything is bloat.

Also worth mentioning that there are different clients depending on your cpu type. SMP is for powerfull multi-cores (not atoms!) for example Intel i7.

EDIT: And for those of you with powerfull GPU's there's a GPU client, although not officially supported on linux, you are asked if you would like to enable both multicore and GPU support with the AUR package.

For those using arch linux see these:

AUR package
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/foldingathome/

Wiki page
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Folding@home

The most important file to edit is the /etc/fahclient/config.xml

Just found out your stats are only uploaded to the server when you have completed a single WU (work unit).

So it will take a while before the pages for individual and team scores are updated.

You must have a very fast CPU pidsley

James, you scared the shit out of me with this desktop :D

haha, GPU support under linux is unsupported and apparently buggy, also i have no way to change the fan speed once X is started with the nvidia driver, so i have to use windows for the GPU so i dont cook my card :P

i've done the installation but now i have no idea where fahviewer/fahcontrol are installed. apparently not in my $PATH, as 'which' or gmrun cannot find them... anybody any clues? i'd like to make sure shit is working :) - oh i did a 'locate' and don't find an executable. please shout at me if i am a noob.

They're called FAHControl (uppercase FAHC) and FAHViewer, and they get installed in /usr/bin.

I'm in.

@pidsley: damn with the uppercase... ok thanks.

Ok, I'm in.

So i've been averaging 495 points per day with my gpu according to windows, and a further 600 or so with the cpu.

Today i rebooted the machine to update linux, then back into windows to carry on folding, but now the ppd has gone up to some crazy number!

Anyone else had this happened to them? And ive done some searching but so far not sure what is causing this.
