Techpowerup Folding at Home Team Has Made it into the Top 125 Teams

[Polaris573]

Several days ago, the Techpowerup Folding at Home (F@H) team made it into the top 125 teams in the official F@H stats and is now ranked 123. This was no small feat and was accomplished due the countless hours of CPU/GPU time donated by the team’s members. I would like to thank all of them for the time, energy, and money they have selflessly donated to this wonderful project. I encourage everyone who is able to join the team and help us reach the top 100! A list of all members who have donated CPU/GPU time to the team has been included inside the thread.

For those of you who have not heard of the Folding At Home project it is a distributed computing project run by Stanford University. It uses spare CPU/GPU cycles of idle processors from around the world to calculate the folding of proteins. Protein folding is a complex action that takes place after protein synthesis where the interaction of several forces in the molecule causes it to assemble or “fold” into its functional form. The shape of a protein has more to do with its function than its composition. The misfolding of proteins is the suspect cause behind many diseases including Alzheimer's, Mad Cow (BSE), CJD, ALS, Huntington's, Parkinson's disease, and many Cancers and cancer-related syndromes. The F@H project aims to calculate the folding/misfolding of key proteins in order to find cures and treatments for some of these debilitating diseases.

Here is a list of the top 10 contributors. A full list can be found inside the thread.

[ShadowFold]

Woo :D I'm #66, I'm goin for the top baby :D

[cdawall]

i'm going to try and get several rigs running after XMAS

[Bluefox1115]

i'm going to try and get several rigs running after XMAS

lolz.

[Bluefox1115]

I haven't run folding in a while.. and my 8800GTX is still crunching near the top at #31. lol

[Steevo]

As soon as I get my remodeling done my new system will be back up and going, plus I can readd all my machines at work. Been upgrading some of them.

[johnnyfiive]

congrats fellas!

[BUCK NASTY]

What are you waiting for? We could definitely use you right now. Come back home to TPU Folding:cry:

[mdm-adph]

Shit -- when the hell did I complete a work unit? I don't remember that. :laugh:

[WarEagleAU]

Congrats TPU and keep up the good work. Congrats to all you individuals keeping on the keep on and to Alecstarr who is no longer here at the forums. Well done.

[cdawall]

were is the download for the cuda based f@h?

[cdawall]

nevermind i found it and now its running :D


going to throw a linux based P2 box up soon it wont do much but it should help....going to need some help installing a wireless driver on it though

[spearman914]

w00000t!! Now lets get on top 100.

[[I.R.A]_FBi]

if only my gma could fold

[blkhogan]

I should have my rigs up and folding again after the Holidays. Congratulations team TPU:toast:

[sol.fides]

congrats techpowerup. all the best.

You may find updating your folding info/guides page regularly: having a dedicated folding heading on your forum index page; and a monthly thread with folding news updates, community help, and recognition for milestones will help foster your folding community and get you far beyong just 100th.

Techpowerup is my main hardware info site, I fold for NCIX, where I buy my hardware. I remember just 3 years ago we were 50th.

[Necrofire]

If only I had known about TPU's F@H team before I started a team with friends. I'm up to 62714 points and 122 WUs. My team is up to 155314 points after ~2 months. I'm a little too far into it to change now.

[mmaakk]

Before you realize you will get great results!

My folding tale started 3 months ago.

...and so, what????

TPU number 5 for now.

:toast:

[BUCK NASTY]

We are already on it. Look for some nice changes coming up in the next few months. We will bring TechPowerup! into the upper echelon
of Folding Teams very shortly.

[WhiteLotus]

Yay Team!

good effort!

[Frederik S]

Nice guys, congrats!:respect:

[Bluefox1115]

What are you waiting for? We could definitely use you right now. Come back home to TPU Folding:cry:

I should be back up and running soon. :)

[Bluefox1115]

lol @ ~2hours per WU. :)

[cdawall]

my 8800GTS+celeron e1200 has been folding a couple days straight now @138th on our polls now :D

[a_ump]

can 7800GTX do F@H? i'll put my q6600 on it and my 7800GTX, and what about internet bandwidth, i'm downloading a large file right now, do i need things like that turned off or just lessen the bandwidth settings for it?

okay, now what about proxy, does it speed it up or anything?

[Bluefox1115]

forget about proxies. and F@H uses like 110% of your GPU, and some memory and cpu.

[Polaris573]

F@H uses almost no internet bandwidth and when it does it's only for a few seconds. Don't bother setting up a proxy unless you're terrified of Stanford and don't want them knowing your IP address.

The Geforce 7 series (your card) isn't supported by the GPU client, so use the SMP client for your CPU.

[a_ump]

alright thx guys, i downloaded the console version cause i read it does work faster. Bummer my GPU won't do it, haha well when i get my HD 4850 she'll be put to work when i go to sleep.:toast:

[Bluefox1115]

I think I have about 8 to 10 more WU's in now. :)

[a_ump]

dam how do you guys work these things so fast, after 4 hrs or so i checked it and it was only at 3%

[a_ump]

well SOB, haha i just opened the application and i guess it was still running, task manger shows 2 F@H processes, didn't know it still ran when i exited the app. but it said error reading or loading data and said it deleted everything and was requesting a new WU. bummer

[Bluefox1115]

ouch. i run F@H on my 8800GTX.. it crunches through them like snacks.

[kylew]

my 8800GTS+celeron e1200 has been folding a couple days straight now @138th on our polls now :D

Huh? It says I'm 138th :confused: am I looking at something different?

[cdawall]

Huh? It says I'm 138th :confused: am I looking at something different?

i keep moving up

[Bluefox1115]

off topic, but CD how's that 7750 running for you? hows it OC? back on topic.. what GTS are you running? g92?

[cdawall]

off topic, but CD how's that 7750 running for you? hows it OC? back on topic.. what GTS are you running? g92?

its going to be here the 29th and its a G92

[Bluefox1115]

sweet deal. lemme know how that basd boy runs.. :) Also in the news tonight, my 8800GTX @ 640/1500/1960, is at home crunching away at those 500+pt WU's while I'm away with my laptop. Moving on up. :)

[Bluefox1115]

Polaris.. may we get an updated table please? :)

[kylew]

65th now?!?! How'd that happen? I've been folding on my 4850s, but are they that powerful? I always thought that they folding client for 4XXX GPUs was crap and didn't work properly.

[cdawall]

no GPU's fold nice
