Tekki has set up our Rosetta@Home team. Create an account at http://boinc.bakerlab.org/rosetta/create_a...php?teamid=3262. Then please visit http://boinc.bakerlab.org/rosetta/rah_intro.php. Follow the instructions on that page, and you'll be good to go.

I signed up and joined the OSx86 Project's team. I'm glad to donate my computer's idle time to finding cures for diseases.

The app that you download is for PowerPC, so it's a bit slow and it kills my CPU.

I'll contact them asking them if they can make it universal.

Great idea. Thanks for setting it up amdprophet!

You beat me to setting it up Thanks again for being proactive about this...

I'll head over and signup now...

I'm stickying this thread and closing the other one for the sake of clarity. Great job on getting this set up!

Thanks Mash!

I'm cool with you closing my thread even though I came up with the idea. Anyway, I signed up with 2 nodes and should enlist 10 more... I can't wait till we have our first 100 members =) Go Team!

Edit: I'll be posting more info soon with regards to this project

[UPDATE]
Seems like d2ol has alot of bugs that need to be sorted out... Stats, PPC as Colonel noted, 100% CPU activity which is leading/has lead to a 7 degrees celcius increase in my server room- Not Good!!! I'm running it on 3 windows 2003 dual xeons and my OSx86 Machine ...

I don't have problems with my osx86 machine heating up as it's watercooled. Maybe we should re-consider d2ol again? I've seen better folding@home software out there ...

So- what do guys think?

I'm going to be contacting the D2OL programmers about it to see if we can get a Universal binary that will hopefully solve the problems. I didn't mean to take your idea TeKKi, I was just excited. You are welcome to have ownership over the team. If it doesn't work out, do you know of other software that will work on Windows, OS X, and *NIX?

How do I change my registered Node number? I reinstalled the program after i signed up and it has a different number.

Go to http://app.d2ol.com/memberServices/memberLogin.jsp and log in. Then click "My Nodes" at the top. My Linux node doesn't seem to be reporting stats properly, likely because I don't have JVM.

We need a logo for our D2OL team. Are there any talented graphic artists interested in helping us out?

I found this:

Rosetta@Home - BOINC computing platform is supported on linux, windows & OSx. Also, there are many projects listed under BOINC but I find rosetta@home the most appealing as it reminded me of our rosetta days on OSx86 Project's Forum and IRC channels

Check it out... works like a charm on all platforms- What say we?


[ UPDATE ]

OSx86 reported 50~95% CPU usage and is Universal - NO PPC
Windows reported 18% CPU usage
Haven't tested linux yet- I'm excited about this ... BOINC is completely customizable and I love the flashy icons on OSx86

Okay lets do that instead, I've already joined up.

You might wanna add this to your first post



The software is amazing ... cool graphics and you have complete control over what to suspend and what to resume and more!!!

Rosetta@home it is!!!

Done. If there is anything else you think I should add, please tell me.

I've just pm'd you amdprophet ... I found an awesome stat reporting website to use for our forum signatures- Lets discuss this over msn and report back to our team members with useful info. I want to avoid cluttering up this place with useless/repetitive posts

Edit :: Oh! I just noticed my new forum title- Apple Newton! Alriggggght

i signed up for Rosetta@home. I'm happy to be part of the team.

Sorry about making you sign up for D2OL. We're going to stick with Rosetta@Home.

Welcome aboard Colonels

It's always good to have the KFC man himself with us!

Stats & Banners coming up in a few hours ... We'll need someone to design a cool team banner for OSx86 Project- Anyone up for the task?

It's not a problem. I didn't mind them, but I do like Rosetta@home better.

Hmm, I don't think enough people know what is going on here. We have to explain what Rosetta@Home is and why we're doing it. We've only got 3 active members right now.

I just signed up for this team. Ive been using Rosetta@home for a lil while now, less than a week, and hadnt found a team yet. Saw there was one here, and signed up. Have my osx86 box and another box setup running it. So hopefully we can get more.

We only have four or five members right now which is probably because not many people understand what we're trying to do. I'm working on writing up some information for the front page so people will actually take a look at this thread and consider helping out. Thanks for choosing our team chapel!

I with more people would join, it seems that alot of people are concerned about people/apple finding out they are running osx. If only they knew they could hide their computers, so that wouldnt be an issue. As well its not like any personal information is released.

On another note, amdprophet, you have a pentium d 920 running rosetta @ home, well that is what Im running as well, as my main box. Why is there a big discrepency in performance? I do have my oced to 3.5ghz, but honestly I wouldnt think it would be that big of a performance difference.

I also am very curious what kind of systems and how many bearcat is running, shoot, hes got over 1k on average...maybe I need to goto a computer shop with the internet and piggy back their computers with some rosetta clients.

Hi chapel,

For the curious, (many of the laptops are older and were just lying around) I have:

1) Toshiba 8100 laptop 500mhz
2) IBM T22 700mhz
3) Sony Viao laptop 900mhz
4) IBM T40 1.5ghz
5) D920 System
6) D830 System
7) P4 2.5ghz
8) AMD-64 3400+ System
9) AMD-64 3000+ System

10) iMac G5 2.0
11) iMac 1.83 CoreDuo
12) MacBook Pro 2.0

That's all, only trying to help the project.

cheers

Thats awesome, keep it up.

I am just competetive, so I need to get some more computers going!

Have joined up. Nice to feel that the electricity bill is going on something useful

Launched it on two hackintoshes, with a G3 450 and a G4 cube 1.2 coming on stream a bit later on.

Hmmm. This could be fun! Shall we aim for a Top 100 placing?

Edit :: Wow - 68th already -Apple Computer Inc are 40th. Theres a nice target

//R

Chapel, like you, I got curious, especially about Apple Computers Inc's team, and had a mooch about. The founder of that team is running Darwin 9.0d1.

I hid mine after I twigged that a hackintosh shows up as an i386 ADP2...

I joined and on my G4 tower (733 MHz) I got two projects done overnight. I would haev thought it would take more time. Anyway, I'll be dormant on this one for a little while, as I devote time to Einstein and Seti and have the computer devote all its resources to one project at a time.

Hello everyone. I am running a single computer w/OSX (x86), but I am running 4 others on various operating systems. Is it ok to join the team, even though the majority of my units will come from other OSes? Based on what i saw on your team page, I could just about double your daily amount of results. I don't want to intrude though, as I'm still fairly new on the site and not ALL of my computers are running os x. Altogether, I have 10-12 processors running (multiple dual-core and dual-cpu machines), so you can expect quite a few results per day.
If someone wants to give me an answer, I'll sign up ASAP.
Thanks.

I think the more the merrier, c'mon in....

im in guyz!

just my core duo 2 lets se how it works!

i'm gonna have my g3 running it as much as i can.

haha!

now im 10 in totals and 5 in average!

of the group, my little hackintosh is wonderfull

we still need a team banner?

This is pretty cool! I'm currently running four computers:

Dell Dimension 2400 - 1 Intel Pentium 4 @ 2.2GHZ: http://boinc.bakerlab.org/rosetta/show_hos...p?hostid=341418
Running XP, has osx86 10.4.6, but I've been having problems with bridging, a must-have for that computer, so I haven't been using osx86 lately.

Apple MacBook - 1 Intel Core Duo, obviously with 2 cores @ 2.0GHZ each: http://boinc.bakerlab.org/rosetta/show_hos...p?hostid=341410
Running Mac OS X Tiger 10.4.8, trying to install Leopard to external drive...

Apple iMac - 1 Intel Core Duo, obviously with 2 cores @ 2.0GHZ each: http://boinc.bakerlab.org/rosetta/show_hos...p?hostid=341443
Running Mac OS X Tiger 10.4.7, keep forgetting to upgrade to 10.4.8...

Dell Dimension 4600 - 1 Intel Pentium 4 @ 2.4GHZ: http://boinc.bakerlab.org/rosetta/show_hos...p?hostid=341498
Running XP, no osx86

I guess having four computers is good because I'm now at the top of the team

yeah i have two

but only one works and has internet (the other just has some basic games and word-its a windows 95)

Well install Rosetta and BOINC onto it then lol
