ir_cow Posted March 14, 2020 Posted March 14, 2020 Hey people, Even though some of worlds Supercomputers are working on COVID-19, Folding@Home and launch its own projects. https://foldingathome.org/2020/03/10/covid19-update/ Folding@Home Download Link: https://foldingathome.org/start-folding/ Time to start folding again. Make sure to be working on the following projects. This will help researchers better understand the Virus. 11741: Coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19 causing virus) receptor binding domain in complex with human receptor ACE2. atoms: 165550, credit: 15396 11742: Coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19 causing virus) protease in complex with an inhibitor. atoms: 62227, credit: 9405 11743: Coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19 causing virus) protease – potential drug target. atoms: 62180, credit: 9405 11744: Coronavirus SARS-CoV (SARS causing virus) receptor binding domain trapped by a SARS-CoV S230 antibody. atoms: 109578, credit: 7608 11745: Coronavirus SARS-CoV (SARS causing virus) receptor binding domain mutated to the SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19 causing virus) trapped by a SARS-CoV S230 antibody. atoms: 110370, credit: 7685 11746: Coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19 causing virus) receptor binding domain in complex with human receptor ACE2 (alternative structure to 11741). atoms: 182699, credit: 16615 Update 3/16/20 : New Projects 11759 11760 11761 11762 11763 11764 How to Setup Folding@Home: Edit: Folding@Home Servers are overloaded currently. If you are not getting new Work Units, this might be why. Please post questions ONLY related to Folding, we don't need to spread panic and false information.

slick2500 Posted March 15, 2020 Posted March 15, 2020 (edited) Stupid question how do you set up folding@home to work on specific projects? Edited March 15, 2020 by slick2500 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ir_cow Posted March 15, 2020 Posted March 15, 2020 In the web browser you can set which project to work on. But if you go into the "Advanced Controls" on windows toolbar you can change the settings under Configuration. Configure > Advanced Tab However for the CODVID-19, the Folding@Home team said on Twitter that the default "ANY" project setting will prioritize it over anything else. So leaving default configuration will be best for now. Edit: It sucks you cannot set it only for COVID-19. One of my cards is working on 11763... I guess It all has to get done eventually and only so many WU are available at one time. So instead of being idle, your compute power can be used for other serious projects too.

road-runner Posted March 15, 2020 Posted March 15, 2020 I dont think the option to select works the scientist set the priority in the actual WUs. I read the other day so many big boys are doing it there servers cant keep up.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had said some company with cloud gpus was donating run time and I think it was brought the servers to a crawl lol yes its a good thing https://foldingforum.org/viewtopic.php?p=312692#p312692 Edited March 16, 2020 by road-runner Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ir_cow Posted March 16, 2020 Posted March 16, 2020 New projects added for COVID. No information about them on the folding forums. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

QuantumX Posted March 17, 2020 Posted March 17, 2020 (edited) This got me folding for the first time since ~2008 when I still had a C2D E7300 and 8800GTS system Edited March 17, 2020 by QuantumX Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
slick2500 Posted March 19, 2020 Posted March 19, 2020 (edited) I did one workload this morning and not a thing since then.... -edit- I restarted F@H and it's working again, not sure what happened.

ir_cow Posted March 20, 2020 Posted March 20, 2020 Its been going in and out all week. every time it failed attempts to talk to the server it, the time doubles. Mine have been saying 14 hours until the next attempt. I just restart the client it resets to zero. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
