Cerulean is now in first place, having zoomed past me early Saturday morn. Dyscon is behind me, but not for long.

Don't see anyone else driving fast enough to pass us three.

Can't drive that fast on a flat tire...

Amazing What I've Discovered

If you have at least 128mb RAM and a fast processor of at least 350MHz, you can run two (2) distributed projects at once (these instructions assume PC usage):

1) If you haven't already, install SETI@Home as described in the first post on the first page of this discussion;

2) Goto Stanford Protein Folding Project & click the logo

3) Click "Downloading the Folding@home software" and follow the instructions for the console version

4) Once installed, click the windows Start menu, Programs, Foldingathome, and then RIGHT-CLICK the f@h icon and select Send To and Desktop (as shortcut)

5) You might want to change the shortcut icon; right-click it, select Properties, click Change Icon, and when it says there aren't other icons, select one from out of c:\windows\system\shell32.dll (or whatever it's called on your system); I chose what looks like a 3d barchart with li'l bits flying off

6) I have SETI@Home running in the background with Folding@home also running there; S@H has an icon in the System Tray, while F@h has a minimized DOS window in the task bar

Should we have a Handspring Visor Protein-Folding Symposia yet??

Won't this make your time per data unit even longer? It seems like it might take twice as long just to complete one unit.

I was wondering about that too...

I ran both overnight and, with nothing else taking up RAM 'cept Norton Anti-Virus (scheduled to run every day at 0200) & Norton System Doctor monitoring constantly, my S@h times seemed only a bit over an hour extra.

Seems to take about two hours to fold a protein segment with the console client (minimized on taskbar) on my mobilePentim III @ 366MHz & 192mb RAM with S@h in background (minimized in system tray).

BTW, am forming a club for Handspring users. Will get back to explain how to do this when I figure it out.

This is from the Stanford F@h site:

How can I join/create a team?

If you put your desired team name in parenthesis after your user name, for example "VSP (PandeGroup)" then we'll interpret "PandeGroup" as your team.

---

Maximize the console client, and if you've a framecount of less than 30, hit Ctrl-C to quit, goto Windows control panel, remove the F@h program, use Windows Explorer to remove the F@h folder from your drive, then look wherever you put the install program, winclient120.exe, and rerun it.

When it asks for your Username, type what you've been using, then a space, then:

(Handspring Visor User Symposia)

To make it easier, drag through the above name (including parentheses) and paste it after your name. DON'T FORGET THE SPACE AFTER YOUR NAME, BEFORE THE PARENTHESIS!!

Be advised that if your Username is more than a few characters, you won't be able to fit the group name in. Apparently, the programmers didn't know how to allow more than a few characters in the text box. (Unless there was some kind of database restriction???)

Since crunch times for F@h average 3 hours for the console, we might be able to have a few thousand proteins folded in a month's time.

(Hey, Lennonhead! How's about another graphic? Perhaps a Visor twisted into a double helix? Or a Visor showing a helix on it's screen (a tall narrow button rather than a horizontal one)? Any other ideas from anyone else?)

UPGRADED S@H Client

Berkeley fixed whatever bug was in the last one. Here it is.

The team page hasn't updated in over a week (or 2?). I guess the server is bogged down.

Ever since I've installed 3.0.3 my data unit times have gone up to 12 hours from 8. I wonder if it is the normal fluctuation of data unit sizes, or if this new version is actually slower.

As it says on the site, 3.0 does more scientific analysis both to lessen load on their servers and to research more.

S@H was using too much server bandwidth on the Berkeley campus, so they added more code to limit connect times between old & new units.

If everyone had gigahertz processors, they would probably cram the code with maths aplenty. (And it would still take 12 hours to crunch.)

The stats page has been upgraded. As it states, sometimes it doesn't refresh properly, and I had to go in with my password and click a button for it to post with the newest info.

Cerulean should crack 1000 WU's crunched before tomorrow, Wednesday, 20 Dec 2000. Kudos!

SLOW Crunch Times

My 601st & 602nd WU's didn't have gaussians, so they ran rather quickly -- about 13h30m avg.

My 603rd right now is a bit different: 48% complete and 11h in -- double the time.

From 3.00 to 3.03, three-hundredths of an upgrade point, and it does that much more science?

Eek!
