I do not currently have any port/traffic sniffers installed.

I was able to use a "raw character trace" on the interface in the relay machine. [I was unable to format the information shown; all I...

I use a dial-up connection through a proxy relay (squid). I've noticed that on my modem (on the relay machine), during the UPLOAD of a whole series of filesets, the 'Receive' light seems to be lit...

no, change it so it keeps folding anyway

As long as you are thinking of the client/server interface, would you please also do some brainstorming about situations where the client CAN reach the...

I mentioned the recent betas. As far as I can tell, the server *was* able to record both the work units uploaded by the normal client *and* the work units uploaded by the beta client.

I don't...

To the Distributed Folding administrators:


I do __not__ understand why updates are under "time pressure". Let us say that the purpose of the project is to find out how (well/poorly) certain...

I think that the points system should reflect the effort, instead of the amount of structures traversed.

The first beta, though doing 100 structures per generation, in my experience took LESS...

For me, 100 structures (one generation) with the test client seem to take about the same amount of CPU execution time as 50 structures (one generation) took with the normal client. So I don't mind...

The trouble with using the -qt flag is that then I DO NOT SEE what the client does. In particular, I do not see how many filesets it uploads. To me, -qt is not an acceptable solution.

You wanted...

May I repeat a request that has been made before:

In the "best structures" panel, there is a field for "# of generations". Currently it shows how many generations were completed by the user whose...

I've seen RMSD results that look like going down into a valley and then climbing up the other side (and sometimes, reaching a plateau there).

But has anyone seen an RMSD "waveform" that goes into...

Once again I ended up downloading from the website and installing that in a new folder. (The auto-update to the old folder worked, but the upload of the previously completed work got a "SERVER DOWN...

Here are the (arithmetic averages of several runs) benchmark numbers for before and after installing the 7/22 client. Are the old client and the new client equivalent ?

Old client: ...

Latest news:

At 1730 CDT the "check for new version" __did__ download the latest client "automatically" -- the first time in many many months. [I don't have the authorization token in my...

I'm trying to load from the (old) client every 30 minutes, but I always get the SERVER DOWN FOR MAINTENANCE message (after "checking for new version"). That doesn't surprise me: __NONE__ of the...

One thing I find difficult to understand is the different RATIO of "Sys" vs "Usr" time in the runs on the two systems. System1 and System2 were IDENTICAL, except for CPU (and motherboard revision...

I'm not finding it easy to interpret the benchmark output. Here are the (arithmetic averages of several runs) benchmark numbers for two different systems. How much "better" is the one system over...

Howard pointed out that the algorithm will eventually be tried on "unknown" proteins - for which a "deviation distance" (e.g., RMSD) cannot be calculated. So eventually a different measure (such as...

Assume the best RMSD calculated for generation 250 ends up being numerically close to the best RMSD calculated for generation 249. And assume that a *significantly* lower RMSD was calculated at...

Think of the visual image of a square-root sign. It starts with a dip, but then has an extended horizontal tail.

What I'm saying is that if a lower RMSD has been achieved (the "dip"), but then...

For the second time since Phase II started, my single machine ended up doing what I would call a massive amount of "unproductive" work. It took more than 30 hours (on a 1.5 GHz machine) to go from...

Just took a look at the 'View Details' of the current top 10. Considering ONLY the 'RMSD vs. Time' graphs :

Two of the ten had their best RMSD beyond generation 200.

NONE of the ten appeared...

Right. I feel it would be much more meaningful for the top ten listing to indicate the specific generation when the low RMS was found.

Then one would __not__ have to go through extra steps (ten...

How does Phase II "feel" to me compared to Phase I ?

To me it seemed that in Phase I *all* structures had an equal probability of being a "good" one. In Phase II this seems to be true only of...

This morning a multi-generation upload is going quite quite slowly. I estimate that the elapsed time to upload will exceed 2% of the elapsed time it took to generate those filesets.

A...

It's a function of the -g parameter.

If you have -g 100, that tells it to update after 100 structures. In Phase II structures only go up to 50 (after that, they recycle from 0 again, in the next...
