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=teampage&teamnum=40051" 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?s=&t=40051" 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>

I sincerely hope you'll join us in helping to cure disease and make both Folding@home and team THGC a success!

Hello distributed computing fan!

In one of the many Folding threads, someone posted a method for benchmarking a users computer. There was a method for users running the console as well as the graphical client.

Would you mind pointing me to that post or recreate it here for me?

Thank you for your help.

How can I join your team? I run Folding@Home too. I just started recently and i've completed two WU's

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

The team appreciates your help!

I'm joining up... using my server at work i've got exclusive access too

Intel Xeon 2x 2.5ghz With HT

this should do a decent job

but i'm having problem. it's maxing at 25% of my CPU usage

I just joined... Is there anything like SETI Spy out there for FAH? Which CPU's perform best on it?

Scout
700 Mflops in SETI!

Try running 4 tasks at once, that's what I do on my P4C 2.8GHz HT (I do SETI@Home, with BOINC client). On multiprocessor systems you should run calculation task for each CPU (CPU with HT counts as 2 CPUs).

I finished my first 3 work units over the weekend

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
me
