Centos Folding@Home team!

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]



Centos now has its own Folding@Home team! If you would like to learn more 
about what we do, please follow this <a 
href="http://folding.stanford.edu/";>link</a> to the Folding@Home homepage. 
New to distributed computing?, its not a problem. Here is the simplest 
description: Many computers working on separate pieces of the same puzzle are 
faster than a few computers working on many pieces of the puzzle. By 
"distributing" the work load to as many computers as possible, results are 
faster and accumulate faster. This provides more information to the people 
who can use it, thus letting them actually work with the results instead of 
working to get results. Hopefully the above summary doesn't leave you lost 
and confused. If you are still with us then great, but if you're feeling 
lost? You can search  <a 
href="http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&ie=UTF-8&q=distributed+computing&btnG=Google+Search";>google</a> 
for distributed computing for more in depth information.

Now on to Centos folders and Folding@Home. We are a team of members with 
various computer setups and knowledge. Our primary operating system of choice 
is Centos and our favourite distributed computing program is Folding@Home. 
You can see our team stats by clicking <a 
href="http://vspx27.stanford.edu/cgi-bin/main.py?qtype=teampage&teamnum=48721";>here</a>, 
this should be updated regularly. Would you like to join the team? Well, if 
so it is as simple as visiting the <a 
href="http://folding.stanford.edu/download.html"Folding@Home</a> website and 
downloading the version you prefer. Once you've got it please read this <a 
href="http://www.fedoraforum.org/forum/showthread.php?t=18393&page=1&pp=15";>FAQ</a> 
written by Jtang613. Please note, our team number is 48721. There now, its 
just as easy as that and now you are a part of the team. Welcome to the 
Fold! :) Further information about various installers and monitors can be 
found <a 
href="http://forum.folding-community.org/viewtopic.php?t=11700";>here</a>. My 
personal preference is to use <a 
href="http://www.vendomar.ee/~ivo/";>finstall</a> to install and a 
superkaramba theme to help monitor the work unit.
