Folding@home DUXCW team

[MadKing]

I have just create a team for Folding@home. This program help trying to get cure for :

Alzheimer's Disease
Cancer
Huntington's Disease
Osteogenesis Imperfecta
Parkinson's Disease
Ribosome & antibiotics

Your participation can help lead to a cure for these diseases. The only thing you have to do is download the software at http://folding.stanford.edu/ then install the program.
Then, put your username and the team duxcw number 71044.

The program run in low priority mode so it's will run at 100 % when your not on your computer.

You can also see the stats of the team at http://fah-web.stanford.edu/cgi-bin/main.py?qtype=teampage&teamnum=71044

Feel free to join the team and make something good with those cpu cycles.

Note people it's can also be run as a service in the background without graphical interface. You install first the normal version. Then you install the console in the same directory. Then you type in a dos prompt "FAH504-Console.exe -config". It's will ask for your name, team ... and to run  in in a service mode. After answering all question, restart the computer and it's will run completly in the background.

[MadKing]

Come on people, we need a little bit more competition here. Twinhead is first i'm second.

I will let's my computer on this weekend to take the first place.

[Larry]

OK, it's installed on my desktop.  My laptop is down.  I don't leave the desktop on all the time.

[MadKing]

I can do 1 % of a complete WU (working unit) at every 20 minute. I don't let's all the time my computer alone but I let's the second core do that job when it's open.
Also Everyone can join the team. No need to be a moderator. Everyone are welcome.

[Larry]

I guess the install I did last night didn't work.  Just reinstalled it.

[MadKing]

Yes one Complete WU take time even day to complete.

[Larry]

I uninstalled it and reinstalled again just before your post.  If you see LarryB, that's me.  I will leave the computer on today, but I normally do not on Sundays.  I usually use my notebook on weekends, but Windows will not fire-up--not even in the Safe Mode.  The repair console works and I can see the file structure.  I am going to try an in-place XP upgrade next, but that won't be today.  I am probably going to have to do a clean install before it's all over.

I am running an AMD XP 3000+ CPU with 512 MBytes of memory.

[Larry]

You would think they would at least show you as a member of the team once the software is installed and working.

[MadKing]

You will show up when you have one WU complete.

[Larry]

The first download I installed was the Windows NT/2000/XP/Vista
"No nonsense" text-only console (with built-in Windows-service-install option).  I could not find any evidence that it was installed and working and no service installed (after rebooting), so I downloaded and installed the Windows 2000/XP/Vista Graphical client.  I saw the icon and that it was working on my computer, but no indication that I was a member of the team on their web site, and that there were many Larry's listed on their web site.  So, I uninstalled and reinstalled it with team member name LarryB.

Yes before use the console only, you need to install the windows version and then copy the console version in the same directory.

You can check the FAHlog.txt log file to see everyting is ok. you can also check there to see what % is done and configuration information.

I think the graphical interface is projecting that I'll complete the first WU on 18 May.  I guess I need to clean-up this computer.

When I type FAH504-Console.exe -config at the DOS prompt, I get:

C:\Documents and Settings\Larry F. Byard>FAH504-Console.exe -config
'FAH504-Console.exe' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

C:\Documents and Settings\Larry F. Byard>

Perhap it should be FAH504-Console -config. I'll look at it again tomorrow.  I've got dinner guests coming shortly for a Mother's Day dinner tonight.

[MadKing]

The console file need to be at the same place that the graphical interface is installed:

Launch directory: F:\Program Files\Folding@Home
Service: F:\Program Files\Folding@Home\FAH504-Console.exe
