Put your extra CPU time to use

[mike_15]

While your computer is sitting idle, between recordings, and after running comskip, re-encoding, and everything else we have our sage systems do, you can put it to work as a part of a virtual supercomputer.

Stanford University is trying to crack the way protiens work, and may lead to curing cancers, and Alzheimer's, Mad Cow, ect.

It works like this,
a computer takes days to fold a potein where in nature takes nano seconds.
by using our computers they have an effective supercomputer
the software sets itself as a low priority, it freely gives up the cpu to anything else.
We would be ideal for this, most of us leave our computers on all the time. I have had this running on all of my computers for going on a year. It has not given me any trouble with Sage. It is on my server, my client, and my regular computer. All without any trouble.



download the software (http://folding.stanford.edu/download.html),
enter in team number 47967 (newly created sage users team)

I'd join the team, but I am already folding for another team: http://fah-web.stanford.edu/cgi-bin/main.py?qtype=userpage&username=michelkenny

DIBU, Sounds good, thanks


michelkenny, that is cool, I didn't realize that my points don't come with me. I had 12000 points and 100 WU's on my old team, O'well.
Are all of those computers at home or work?

I have a P4 3.2 Ghz HT (1 instance though), P4 2.8 Ghz HT (1 instance though) and a P4 2.4 Ghz at home, and I have it also running on my crappy work computer, which is a dual Celeron 1 Ghz (2 instances). At home I only have it running on my server... I'll have to test it on my clients to see how much more heat (and noise) they'll generate.

i wish all people here an over thr world a happy x-mas and and a good new year.

You could also check out BIONC. Its a similar virtual super computer project at the University of California at Berkeley.
They have a number of projects you can donate spare cpu cycles... protien folding to partical physics.

Software for Wndows and Linux platforms.
Go on... ypu know it makes sense. :thumb:
