Hi,

Guess I'm shocked at the relative lack of community spirit. I thought there were lots of people at toms with the ability to put some of their computing power too good use.
<b>__Us-></b><A HREF="http://folding.extremeoverclocking.com/team_overtake.php?s=&t=40051&p=8" target="_new">http://folding.extremeoverclocking.com/team_overtake.php?s=&t=40051&p=8</A>
<b>Them-></b><A HREF="http://folding.extremeoverclocking.com/team_overtake.php?s=&t=40051&p=1 " target="_new">http:// folding.extremeoverclocking.com/team_overtake.php?s=&t=40051&p=1 </A>

Seems other people/sites hold that claim.

"priyajeet" started a team to do protein folding for humanities benefit for this community. We're team 40051 at <A HREF="http://folding.stanford.edu " target="_new">http://folding.stanford.edu </A> and we could use a little of your help.

Since I joined two weeks ago we have dropped from being over 1000th in team stats to under 800. With only 25 people we have a pretty good overtake velocity for the moment and will probably end up under 300 in the team standings.

Still that feels disgraceful. I feel like moving to [H]ardOcp.

Flinx

P.S. You can help us out. Donate just a unit or two of work. It's for a good cause.

Yippe!!! Tombance folds again.

Yeah !!! Jammydoger is really crusing with with his score. But there are some mystery people up there at the top. How do they get their scores so high?

Every unit counts. There should be a charge at Toms. No questions answered unless you do a fold (or don't have a high speed connection).

TANSTAAFL!!! We'll maybe that's not entirely true. You may have paid the price of being ignorant though.

Thank you to those people who are heeding the call. Been a couple of new joiners and contributors. Maybe some more in the wings with incomplete folds.

It's definietly helping. Overtake momentum is building. A few more folders and we could move faster.

I've had a few problems with instability, so I've sent off a few half-finished ones but with a voltage bump I see to be doing fine churning out a big one, something to do with water?

Report:

We have kicked some butt this weekend. We're getting down around to the lower 750. It's getting more competitive though.

We just passed the Ukraine and just as surprisingly the University of Florida. Not bad for a small bunch of guys!

I have to laugh though. Right ahead of us I see
"too stupid to own a computer" and not far ahead of them the mighty "Super Poop Heads". Yet I think we could set the our near term target to pass "Greenland High School" (about 400) and before them around 450 there is "Naked Fun" which is what I'm always hoping for and rarely get.

So you people out there who want to help us get some "Naked Fun" .. give us a few computer cycles. We need some serious computing to get below the top 300!!!

I leave it on during the day, but unfortunatly my computers are too loud to leave on at night [sad].
I think we are going to need a hell of a lot more members to break the top 100. But I reckon there are enough people at THG to do it...if they actually join that is.

Hi,

Don't know if you people who are recent joiners are going to read this but thanks for giving us those units. We did pretty good today.

We pulled ahead of "akira no baba" and "Le Forum Team". Oh the French have a way better team than that. No freedom fries for you!!!

Team "Firefly" is not far ahead and "Lovesac" is in sight as well. We just sat on neonfrog though they are close and may jump up on our heads again.

All this folding is hard work. We need some refreshment and after a good stiff drink we might even be able to pull ahead of "Specialty Soda". Team "Uber Oragami" who was just ahead of us but pulling away can now be reached though it's going to take a year at this pace.

Help would be appreciated to do this last one a little sooner as I really don't want to be dug out of the grave when it's done.

Again.. thanks to all those contributing.

Flinx (aka Xnilf).

i wish we could get a crowd like that on steam forums. Their thread views go upto 500,000 in like 1/2 a mpnth if popular enough. Thats big. Over here 1000 views is big.

I just joined team 40051!!

Go Me!! :smile:

Now its time for the stupid question.. What exactly is going on? I have a window Folding@Home Display with what looks like a protein molecule and some stats on the left hand side... What do they mean?

I am also going to install the software on our server here at work :wink:

It's got something to do with simulating how protein molecules break down over time. Supposedly it will help with pinpointing drugs to cure various diseases and suchlike.

there's a much better explanation on the F@H site.

It certainly seems a better use of idle cycles than looking for aliens.

Well, thats the frame count. Apparntly the processing is divided into a number of frames. After all frames are done, you finish a work unit. Thats what gets you points. You can find all the info on stanfords website.
