Hey, Just want to say that the Academy has a Folding@home team, so you can go to http://folding.stanford.edu/ and get the client. The team number for the JA is 31419. MEGA EDIT: There is now a nifty one-click that I've tweaked to work for our team. It's a quicker installer, and in addition, the greatest benefit of the One-Click is that it sets FAH up as a service so when ever the computer is powered up, it's folding. Get it here: http://webpages.charter.net/ulicbelouve/JAclient.zip This one-click installer is the simplest way to install FAH on any Windows 2000 or XP Machine. Includes -advmethods flag. Installation Instructions: 1. Download the file listed above 2. Edit the client.cfg file with NOTEPAD to your username and bigpackets answer ("yes" or "no" - default is "no"  .3. Run the *.exe file. 4. The One-click will then create a directory (C:\Program Files\FAH), download the FAH console client, creates and installs FAH as a service in the registry, starts the FAH Service, and cleans up the extra download files after the install is completed. Thanks to those that are cranking out the work thus far, and I woud like to see more people use it. Any questions, you can check the site, it defines things more than I can. But I'll try to answer whatever. From the F@H website: What does Folding@Home do? Folding@Home is a distributed computing project which studies protein folding, misfolding, aggregation, and related diseases. We use novel computational methods and large scale distributed computing, to simulate timescales thousands to millions of times longer than previously achieved. This has allowed us to simulate folding for the first time, and to now direct our approach to examine folding related disease. From DJ Sith: "The short story is Stanford is using the spare cpu cycles of various voulnteers to run protien folding simulations. It does this because it requires a LOT of computer horsepower to something like this, and Stanford's system's can't calculate that kind of stuff fast enough, so it sends data via the Internet to your computer.. you calculate stuff.. and then you send it back to standford. It's all done annonymously, and only when you're not using your computer (so you can leave it up and not se your FPS shoot down)." _______________ Jedi do not fight for peace. That's only a slogan, and is as misleading as slogans always are. Jedi fight for civilization, because only civilization creates peace. This post was edited by Ulic Belouve on Jan 09 2006 04:06am. |

Quote: Well first of all helping cure cancer and other life ending disease is a good thing. From what I remember, the program uses spare cpu... So if you arent running anything of course it is gonna hog all your resources. Yes, it uses spare cpu-cycles, and sure, it's better turned off if you want to play a game, but I've never had any problems with it when I'm just chatting/surfing/working on my computer  I just need to remember that I better not close the F@H with Ctrl+Alt+Del, otherwise the work unit restarts. That sucks!  _______________ Visit the Belouve Family Website! Quote: I try to have fun with my friends and try to make a difference as best I can. What does making a difference mean?

Quote: Alright, bumped, but not for a very good reason. I installed this... thing.. back in March, and to be honest never got round to using it. Now, 2 months later and for no reason at all a proccess called FahCore_78.exe is taking up all my CPU Usage. It's impossible to terminate the proccess, or delete the root folder. I have since traced the proccess to this protein folding stuff. Thanks a lot Ulic, great idea  So basically, does anyone know how to remove all trace of this garabage from my computer?

I know there are some additional command-line switches that can be added to the shortcut to make things run smoother. I will look those up and post them.
