If your like me, and you have a good computer with a great processor, your not using all of your cpu cycles all of the time. Why not put them to good use?

Folding @ Home

quote

What is protein folding and how is folding linked to disease?
Proteins are biology's workhorses -- its "nanomachines." Before proteins can carry out these important functions, they assemble themselves, or "fold." The process of protein folding, while critical and fundamental to virtually all of biology, in many ways remains a mystery.

Moreover, when proteins do not fold correctly (i.e. "misfold"), there can be serious consequences, including many well known diseases, such as Alzheimer's, Mad Cow (BSE), CJD, ALS, Huntington's, Parkinson's disease, and many Cancers and cancer-related syndromes.

You can help by simply running a piece of software. Folding@Home is a distributed computing project -- people from through out the world download and run software to band together to make one of the largest supercomputers in the world. Every computer makes the project closer to our goals.

I leave my computer on most of the time, and I've been wanting to try out Folding At Home. I just downloaded it, and started our own Neoseeker team. The program runs in the background, just using spare CPU cycles. My processor has been hovering around 60 to 100% load while I run it, and its risen 9 degree's C. You can easily change how much percent of your processor it uses (from 0 to 100%).

Current projects:
* Alzheimer's Disease
* Cancer
* Huntington's Disease
* Osteogenesis Imperfecta
* Parkinson's Disease
* Ribosome & antibiotics

And of course, those of you running the program right now.

If I left you out (and you should be in the list), then sorry, just let me know and I'll put you up there. I'm positive I left someone out though.



Since its going to be very hard to keep up with who is still running the program, and whose not, I'll just change the list to whats on the F@H website. When you set up the program, please use your full user name, and (pc) or (PS3), or (*processor type*) if you want to.


Thank You for helping the cause!

Done. I'll try and go through later and add a few more people if I need too also.

alright Courgan or RCM

Courgan thanks a bunch for giving me the folding signature.But i dont know how to set it up.

Can someone show me how?

Here is the Link: http://folding.extremeoverclocking.com/?nav=IMAGES

yea i wanted to do that.

so i just insert my name where it says name here, then it will update and everything?

When i paste that in my signature it doesnt do anything. Meaning the code just shows.

name i am using for the folding team is

bphicks123.

Ill try it again.

Ok it didnt work, and this site really makes no sense to me as no code is given.

I have tried it as well I did not get it to work. I believe it could be for a couple of reasons:

1) It is case sensitive, so make sure you have the correct spelling and punctuation. i.e My name is RCM but when I put rcm (in lowercase) it would not recgnize my account
2) If you have not completed a work unit yet you will not be in the database that the signature uses to get your stats.

Alright i have been on gromacs for almost the whole time now, and its nearly done.

so you are using the cpu progrzm instead of the gpu program.
they take couple of days to finish.

I have been trying all day to see if I can get your sig to work, and nothing. I looked on the site and I did not see anything for how long it takes to show up in the database. But I have noticed that you have completed some WU's. Hopefully this is just a "time" issue.
