Team AntiOnline (FAH)

We are closing up to the top-100 but we do still need new AO'ers to help out and join Team AntiOnline at Folding@Home.

A big thanks to our three top contributors:

1. qwerty_smith
2. bluebeard96
3. souleman

And also a big thanks to the rest of the team members :).

Don't forget our SETI team! Join up and help in the search for little green men..... ;)

What all do you have to do to join for some reason it wont let me. Why not?

banananuts > first you need to download the appropriate client for your operating system which you can find by following the link below

http://folding.stanford.edu/download.html

Once you have downloaded the right client, start the installer. You should be prompted for a Username and a Team Number. The Username can be anything, and the Team Number needs to be 11416. You also will be aksed some general system questions, along with how much priority you want the Folding client to have on you system, which I would advice to keep less than 50% just so you dont encounter lots of problems. If none of this helped, then go to the help page below.

http://folding.stanford.edu/mail.html

I have never heard of this before what exacly does it do?.

Yay! We're 213 in F@H now!

BTW, to get to the top 100 right now, we need to more than double our current score. By then, the other teams would rise up too, but I'm confident that we can outpace them if we have enough folders... Keep up the good folding!


Dominaterx: We're folding various proteins on our computers so that scientists at this university can find interesting ones to try in a real lab. They then publish results (on their website and magazines) so that everyone can learn/benefit. It is better to have the schools find it and keep it free (like Folding@Home) than a big company finding it with their own research and selling it to us...

It takes a while to get through your first full WU, so don't worry if it takes a day or two (or more). It usually takes me about 1.5-3 days to fold a 400 part WU on a P3 800 with 896MB/RAM. Then again, I run it about 24x7 at 100% and when I'm not home... My longest WU so far took about a week full time without me interrupting it at all...


-Tim_axe

ok....If I get this new machine I might be building, with about 1.4 GHz and 384 Mb ram, then I'll leave that online all the time...so I might join up :) we'll see what happens....
Cross you fingers and hope I can revive the Mobo...

- Noia

Welcome Noia and all other who has joined Team AntiOnline.

I got curious to hear what kind of Folding monsters the team members have, I will start with my single and only mini-monster :).

I am running Folding@home on one Dell Precision powered with a P4 2Ghz processor and 1024mb ram.

~micael

http://www.outwar.com/page.php?x=474498 this is a tight site...just click the link..if you dont like it then fine but i guarrantee you will

P 3 733 mhz 192 mb ram

and somewhere this week a mini atx[p 3] 800 256mb ram

I'm gonna make this thread sticky for a while if no one objects...

I wrote a few and short get-me-started-post(s) a while ago when we started the team. They are not the best but they will hopefully give some help.

There is no registration or hard process to join Folding@home and Team AntiOnline. Download one of the clients and install it. Second step is to choose a nick-name in the config, if you wanna be sure that your nick is not already occupied go here and do a search. The third step is to add the numbers 11416 as team number and you are set to go.

For those having problem can I advice to use the console client of Folding@home. For those having slow computers can I advice to run Genome@home (G@H) instead of Folding@home (F@H) this cause G@H dont have any timelimits and the results will still count and show up in the stats.

I found a good program (maybe not the best but it works for me) to measure the speed of the core and process of F@H and/or G@H. The program can be found at Electron Microscope. To install the "new" GUI follow these simple steps.

1. Download the F@H "No-nonsense text-only console ".
2. Put the executable in the same folder as your graphics client ("\program files\folding@home\"?)
2.1 If you experience problem uninstall the old client first and then run the "No-nonsense text-only console".
3. Download the EMII (G@H) or EMIII (F@H) GUI. (if u use f@h client to run g@h works then use EMIII).
4. Unpack the archive to a place you want to run it from.
5. Run the application and make sure to config it properly (se the help page for details).

Make sure to dissable the old gui client's autostart, and add it to the new gui client instead (EMxxx).

Now when running the Electron Microscope you will be able to see more details then earlier and that may help you track down bugs or even show you if you should choose G@H instead of F@H.

Hope this help someone to fold even more :)

Negative, I don't mind as long as I don't have to touch it :P
lol...alright I should be getting around to the Mobo test this tursday if everything works out...and then I'm gona wait till friday or sumthin then I'm gona put it in this box.
It's a little shity, but who cares...

Black plastic and Blue CCFL though.... :D that way it'll match my other box...

Well i just signed up. I am running an AMD 1700+ with 256 ram.

Hey Ii I remember later this week I have to burn in a new server. It sound like a little processing might be in orders.. it is going to be a Dell PowerEdge 6450 4x550w/2MB L2 Cache a 4GB of RAM.... Running W2K Ad Srv... It is going to be a number crucher so while it is burning in I'll let it crunch some numbers for yah.... Due to arrive anyday... :D

Welcome to all those that are just joining the team. I'm glad to see all the interest and activity... even though I shall soon lose my #2 spot (but I can't complain because it's for a good cause). I don't know where the hell Souleman started coming from or what kind of box he's running, but he sure is racking up the work units! Considering how few ACTIVE processors there are in any given week, I don't think it would be that hard to double our efforts if a few more people get involved. Let's get in that top 100!!!!

I am running Seti @ home on a AMD Athlon XP 2200 and on my Athlon 1400 at home.

"faster than a speeding bullet, stronger than a locomotive, able to leap tall buildings in a single bound..." doesn't help---still a newbie. Loaded folding @ home on 03/04/03. Antec 350 w box, athlon xp 2200, 80 g hd.,512 mb. mem. I'm all yours--hope this will help!!! Doc51

We're moving up! 204th this morning!

I'm in! :D

wOOOOOt...My machine works....it's ALIVE...now all I have to do is build it :rolleyes:
alright, it's gona be an AMD Ahalon XP 1400+ with 512 of ram and a pittiful 4gig's....not sure if I'm gona use XP or get SuSE, and Ideas?

Any how....as soon as it's up, which should be this weekend(ish) then I'll sign up :)

- Noia

getting to the top 100 will be difiicult. we are heavily competing with some pretty heavy hitters. although, we made it this far with 28 members (now 31 thanks!!!) so i have faith that we can make a name for ourselves soon.

THE IMPORTANT PART: if university gets it before business, the info will not be patented and will be open for all. (open source proteins for all. lol) who knows what the medical companies will charge for a cure that uses a protein they patented...
in the battle of money vs. morality, money usually wins.

perhaps our new owners can throw in some processor time? wink wink

here's what has risen me to the top :D

1. P3, 666mhz : 256MB RAM : 8GB HD
2. P3, 666mhz : 64MB RAM : 8GB HD
3. P3, 733mhz : 256MB RAN : 8GB HD
4. P3, 1ghz : 256MB RAM : 20GB HD
5. P4, 1.8ghz : 256MB RAM : 40GB HD
6. P4, 1.6ghz : 256MB RAM : 20GB HD

1-5 run through proxy server that i will prolly be trading for router (starting to f'n piss me off)
1-5 also only run when my people remember to leave their comps on. sorry lusers. heh.
6 run directly though dsl line with firewall

well, my fingers are itching to build it, it's all here infront of me, but I have to study for exams :( sorry, I'm gona try to build it asap but if it takes a while it's still gona be worth it coz it's gona be on 24/7 which after a wile can become a huge amount of Processing time :) oh well.....back to work....if any one sees me on IRC or way to active in the forum....kick me....I'm addicted to the net...lol :D
Ok, back to work now.....now.....NOW......NOW DAMN IT......

Is it multithreaded? I have a Quad PIII 733Mhz ML570 with a couple of gig spare at the moment.

Paul

UPDATED:

Installed and running. Its one of my dev toys so it will be running 24/7and doesnt really do too much so it cant do too much harm

Paul

w00t!

I'm hooked up and folding!

Now my processor won't be lonely while I'm at work all day...

FAQ re multiple processors
http://folding.stanford.edu/faq.html#run.dual

Does Folding@home run on dual processor machines?

Yes, you can. Additional processors must run the console version (with the "-local" command-line argument if run on Windows). First, make additional directories for each processor and copy the FAH3Console executable file into each. Then configure them with the -config switch, filling in settings for each. It is very important to make sure that under the "Advanced Settings" option each copy is given a unique machine ID (from 1 to 4). The first copy will default to a machine ID of 1, so additional copies should be given IDs of 2, 3 and 4. Each may then be run out of their installed directory, using the -local switch on windows. Instances should be attached to different processors, using whatever mechanism your OS provides for this purpose (e.g. Task Manager on Windows).

We have been working on a multiple processor version with parallelized code using OpenMP. However, we have discovered that OpenMP parallelized code does not scale very well at all with processor number with our code. So we are investigating other options for parallelization, and a final date for a parallelized version is uncertain at this time.

Not sure if any of you have seen this yet, but it's a pretty cool stats page that will get you more interesting stats in a faster time than the stats on the FAH page.

Just remember to sign up hope this helps the team.

ranked 206, we can do better than this

Whoa !! "Somebody help me"--(J. Giles Band)

Whoa !! "Somebody help me"--(J. Giles Band) Last time I looked--Uraloony was hot on my a#* and closin' in quick!!! Need help tweakin' and squeezin' all I can outta these old machines so I don't get footprints on my back. :spank:

...and no--I usually don't stutter. Must be the pressure!!!

Well, I just started this (graph) 2 days ago. I've been folding for quite a while now. :D I'm going to check progress of the top 100 + AO. I have it in an Excel file, and graphed it. Attached is a bar graph of progress. The little yellow bar at the top is AO. The other bars are for the top 100. If we want to catch up, we will have to work hard. I'm planning on doing this for about a month to get an idea of when we will catch up to the top 100.

BUT... bluebeard just posted a link to something just as helpful. I'm just having a difficult time working in their applet, but it is good helpful information...

BTW, shouldn't we start a Conference Room? Well, maybe not... It is good to let everyone know that we are making progress!


-Tim_axe

OK, I'm folding and joined to the group, but my name's not showing up on any of the stats pages. I want to make a contribution, but can't figure out if there might be something wrong.
Does anyone happen to know what's up?

Your name wont show up until you've finished your first work unit. Notice the 014/400 or whatever yours might be... when you finish the project (ie 400/400), then it will report the results back to the server and yourn name will appear shortly thereafter.

cool. Thank you. :thumbsup:

Nice idea :).

Tim_axe: If you decide to continue the graph do you think it's possible for you to export the graph to html and make it available for all of us folders ?

When we now have started to grow a little bit, is there any idea for us to start a team site with some help (tutorials) and maybe some stat's and other information? Or is it enough to use AO as the primary information site ? We do have some skilled webdesigners here and with their help would it probably be an easy task to create a Team site for us poor folders ;).

Ideas anyone ?

~micael

I signed up too, havn;t got my other machine fully tuned yet, but it'll be folding soon, I'm using my main box to fold right now, I'm at 69/200.....hmmm, I think the Seti@Home proggy looks better though :P hehe

any ways.....it should be up soonish :)

- Noia

I've finally collected my second data sample. I'm checking the rankings of the Top 100 + AO once a week, and recording the data. I still don't think I have enough data to plot, but I'd have to edit my data to graph properly after I do get it.

My next data collection day is 3-21-2003: 00:00:00 to 00:00:01 if I'm lucky. I might have to get it the day before at 23:00:00, like I did today. (*Choke*...trying to keep out the time-zone differences...)


Hope this is helpful. BTW, from the looks of things, this no longer shows up on the main AO index page. Since it doesn't show up on the main page, I no longer have to feel guilty for bringing it back up...

Nice work Tim,

I have added a virtual host at my server with the stats and graphics. I will move everything to a public server when I have some spare time to find a suitable host and open a account (my dsl is kinda slow).

I know this thread is more about folding than SETI but I ran across this
article from berkley that say's the SETI project will be investigating 150
promising signals..

Search for ET to look again at 150 signals

By Robert Sanders, Media Relations | 10 March 2003

BERKELEY – After more than a million years of computation by more than 4 million computers worldwide, the SETI@home screensaver that crunches data in search of intelligent signals from space has produced a list of candidate radio sources that deserve a second look.

Three members of the SETI@home team will head to Puerto Rico this month to point the Arecibo radio telescope at up to 150 spots identified as the source of possible signals from intelligent civilizations.
