We've got a Folding team!

Post by ProfessorPat » Fri Oct 19, 2012 9:03 am

We've got a brony folding@home team up for anyone interested.
http://fah-web.stanford.edu/cgi-bin/mai ... num=212997
There's our team info if you are interested in joining.

If you don't know what F@H is, it's a distributed protein folding project through Stanford that uses your unused CPU and GPU power to help out their work.
Rather than attempt to explain further or screw up the explanation, you can read about it at their site here
http://folding.stanford.edu/English/Science

If you want to talk directly with team members, you can come to the IRC or Forums which can be found through this page (as can other info on the project)

I'd love to, but Folding@Home doesn't work for me for some reason. I already tried joining brony@home a while ago.

What OS are you using and what client did you try? I know I couldn't get the v6 client working at all, no matter the version, in OSX, but the v7 client works fine. I haven't used it in windows (I have, but it was like 3 years ago and I can't remember a thing) or linux, but if you want to troubleshoot it, there are some guys on the IRC that could likely help you pretty quickly.

If you don't want to bother with it, that's fine too. I'm just letting you know we've got people that can probably figure something out over there if you really want to do it but can't get it going.

That was on Win7 32bit, don't know what client version. The problem was that it couldn't connect to the server and the core wouldn't load, not even when I added it manually.
I'll try to install F@H on my linux, maybe that will work.
