University computer rooms are pretty common I'd bet. I know my university runs or has run Seti@Home and some crypto cracking thingy. A computer room with 30-40 computers that run idle half of the time can fold a pretty pile of proteins in notime.Mainframeguy said:At that level you have individual folders who are targetting and counting in the millions - I can only imagine they are building racked farms of opterons running linux and folding......
My second folder is a PIII 450 MHz. It's slooooww.tom9042 said:All that power seems to be far away from me. My third machine is a 650 MH Pertium III, which is working on a 264 point GROMACS and is cranking out 12% of the WU a day. It will take 8 days to finish at about 33 points a day. I guess everything is relative. I'm happy to be able to use it to fold.
I run Fedora Linux on the 450.Mainframeguy said:Hey! I just got Linux as a dual boot on my second rig and was wanting to fold under Linux - I have downloaded the client OK, but does anyone else here fold with Linux? I am slightly at a loss as to how to execute the .exe - found something like the "Run" but not quite, seems I have to enter a command- no?
Two weeks ago we picked 25 places, while last week we only picked up 5. But looking at the Top 1000 team stats, we ran through a lot of teams doing less than 5,000 a week a while ago. Now we're getting into a group that is scoring more then 5,000 a week, and it will take longer to get by them. We could get to 350 in a couple of months.vern said:On another note ... I think we've hit a wall.

Either you do chmod +x FAH502_Linux.exe to make the file executable and then start with ./FAH502_Linux.exe & .
OR
Start the folder by typing sh FAH502_Linux.exe & .
The & will give you back the prompt and run the program in the background. Add any command line options before the &.
Sounds to me like you're missing the & sign at the end of the line. Otherwise the program won't be put in the background.vern said:For people who have used the Linux client, do you guys have it run at start-up? I had it start by putting a line in rc.local and when it reaches that line, the system stays there. Units are being processed, but the system is unusable.

If you get permission denied it means that the user you are using to start the file with doesn't have rights to use the file. Do ls -l FAH502-Linux.exe to see the rights.Mainframeguy said:Thankyou Zedric, I think I tried both those (and I do realise they are mutually exclusive!) but for the sh I am getting cannot execute binary and for the ./ I am getting Permission Denied.... So back to folding under XP for now....
