Freddys Distributed CancerCure Team

[Utini]

Since i leave my pc on a lot ive decided i might as well do one of these distributed cancer curing things, and hopefully do some good with it, so ive created an FH team there for anyone who wants in.
The URL to get it is: http://www.grid.org/download/gold/download.htm
Team name Freddyshouse:http://www.grid.org/services/teams/team.htm?id=77692420-8EDC-41D3-A43F-04F2115E169D

The link doesn't work for me, but what exactly is this about? Is it like Seti@home?

 

[Cask]

Doesn't seem to be a linux client for that program

 

[Xavier]

Deebs already runs a FH distributed computing effort for cancer research. Might be better to ask him for the details than start another...

[Utini]

Sorry tom im a spaz, http://www.grid.org/download/gold/download.htm Is the proper link (added http twice to the last one)

 

[JingleBells]

There is a barrysworld team on the grid.org site already.

 

[Utini]

Just seen, ignore previous links, join the one Jingly suggested heh:http://www.grid.org/services/teams/team.htm?id=77692420-8EDC-41D3-A43F-04F2115E169D

 

[mank!]

let's all feel a sense of self satisfaction

aaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh

 

[Tilda]

Could we get the right link edited into the first post, and this thread stickied please?

[Utini]

I dont seem to be able to edit it? (i may be being a spaz but i cant see a button)
One of the mods will have to i guess.

 

[Jonaldo]

No in this silly forum app you can only edit things for a few minutes after you've posted. Only a moderator can change the original post now.

 

[Utini]

Just to clarify to anyone, the team name is actually Barrysworld (for some reason u cant change the team name, only the description) - the team was created back in the old BW days, but the links above all link to that team name.
And yeah Tom, it is a seti@home style thing, but matching potential cancer cure molecule structures against a target etc. (And theres a smallpox drug one too if thats ure bag).

I'm part of the easynews team, have 5 machines running on my account, I get loads of free download gigs that way

So i'm curing cancer and getting lots of free pr0n, everyones a winner!

 

[Tom]

I've downloaded the app, but what do I type to login?

 

[Tom]

ahhh sorted it, there was someone else called Tom. Behold 'Parrot of Doom' is now part of the BW cure for cancer team!

 

[Utini]

Nice one lads, the freddys graph has spiked pronto. Yes we all know its likely to make such minimal difference in the long run. But using our wasted pc power even to rule out (or hopefully find) potential cancer cures has gotta be worthwhile.
Im always a sceptic at best, but in these situations its a no lose....."EVERYONES A WINNER BABY THATS THE TRUTH...dodoodododoo"

 

[Frizz]

What happened to this team? The original BW team.

[TdC]

it still doesn't have a unix client? pity, my boxes are generally up for 100+ day periods, whereas my doze box is up for hours and then turned off again.

 

[Utini]

Ah well, blame bill gates for cancer, or something. Hell they didnt bother even to optimise for hyperthreading which is lame.
But plod on i shall!

 

[Cask]

Start a team with a linux program TdC and see how long it takes to clock up more cpu time than the windows llamas

 

[TdC]

there are distributed computing programs that run on unixes. SETI springs to mind, but tbh if I'm going to burn cycles then I'd prefer to do it on a cancer cure because I have the odd notion that we will have a cancer cure before we find an alien race who has. sadly, my windows computer is up for an hour a day or so, while my database/webserver/mailserver thing is up for something like 80 days now.

 

[Cask]

www.find-a-drug.org looks pretty good.

 

[Will]

Unstuck. If you want it stuck again, let me know.
