Genome@MURC storms into 9th place!

Well, Narcissus + narcissus is still the largest. They didn't even get the group-number correct.

[Guyver]

DOH!

Yeah, so !

8th! Woohoo!!!

And this on my 100th post!

Nice going guys!

If my Seti caches run dry before they get the lines going again I'll through the G@H client on a few more machines for a while. Just changed one over for now. Seems to be doing OK; about 1 gene per day.

Hi guys,just wondering if any of you do folding@home aswell as Genome@home?

------------------
Folding@home

[Ant]

Is that the distributed Origami project?

[impact]

No, it's Genome's predecessor...

wintz01,

I can't really be sure, but I don't think so since no one came up when we had our little poll a few weeks ago. Genome@home is a new project backed by MURC supporters, and it's pretty much the only one (except SETI of course! ). We don't have enough manpower (or is that cpupower?) to tackle many projects.

Anyway, folding@home is the sister project of g@h, so it's pretty much for the same cause. But a lot of people (others, not MatroxUsers) have had problems with the f@h client and are now moving on to g@h.

As for our (sub)team, we kept the machines that couldn't go to g@h (firewall or other problem) on s@h. It doesn't make a huge difference, but it's better than nothing. Hey, we should reach 5000 wus in 500 days at this speed! .

Hi,we too are only a small team and split between g@h,f@h and s@h but its all in a very good and worth while cause,i`m sure you all agree and if any of you guys want to drop in to our little space on the net just to say high or to swap info or even just for some good old leg pulling your more then welcome,its nice good to talk to eveyone involved in these projects

I am running Genome on my P133. Better than running SETI because it takes 66 hours for SETI to crunch a WU. Genome takes a week, but each block of data yields multiple WU credits.

[Pace]

Can someone take a slapping hand a make an impact on a certain MURCers face? (no offence! )

Liquid: Yea, but if you lose that WU, it's a whole weeks work Anyway, GAH is now on spreading through all my machine's...

So, I'll make sure to make a backup of the Genome directory before the last WU is done. I don't know much about Genome, but how do you lose a result?

[Rattledagger]

First, welcome to TomNuttall and Richard.

Liquid Snake, there's a bug in the current 0.91-client then seed.dat is more than 4 digits. The number in seed.dat is the "random" number you're using to process the wu. If for example the number is 12345, then done with a wu, it will save the result in output.chi.12345. The client will also save a checksum, but the bug is that it only saves the 4 first digits, csum.output.chi.1234
You can't upload this result before you correct the filename to csum.output.chi.12345, but if you can't connect, the client reprocess the current wu, but changes seed.dat to +1, here 12346. Next time it saves as output.chi.12346 and csum.output.chi.1234, and you're lost the previous result since you haven't got the correct checksum-file any longer.

There's currently a beta-version out, but this has some bugs of its own. A new version should hopefully be out today.

Like so

Check current work status . . .
1 superloops completed
15 subloops completed
You have unfinished work from a previous session . . .

Genome@home starting at sequence 18

 Initializing protein design algorithm
 Can't open file output.chi.10798 for checksum

saveChecksums error!


Cannot finish old work. Getting new work.
