Hello, I am working on a condensed version of this for Smokeball to add to the top thread of the board and also an FAQ page in the future for D2OL. Meantime due to the large number of requests for this information because of the sudden conclusion of the ECCp109 project I am posting this information to help as many as possible to have a smooth transition. Bear with me as I edit as necessary.
D2OL
An exciting and fast growing project recently enjoying a surge of new membership and great interest is the D2OL Project, which with the combined efforts of all we have moved this team in only a few short weeks from 20th place worldwide to 7th and anticipate moving up a few more notches within a few weeks. Though you will find our members competing regularly in mini races or for team position we genuinely appreciate each and every member on our team no matter how small the production, and are committed to the overall goals of our mission statement as seen below:
The Drug Design and Optimization Lab (D2OL)? works to discover drug candidates against Anthrax, Smallpox, and Ebola and will soon be adding targets for the top 5 major Bioterrorism organisms. By simply downloading a no cost, non-intrusive software application, you can contribute the idle time available on your computer to fight biological weapons even when not connected to the Internet. The (D2OL)? software is downloaded to your personal computer and given drug candidates to evaluate. Once your computer receives tasks to execute, it begins a candidate evaluation process similar to finding the right key to fit into a lock. Distributed computing technology enables the process of sending hundreds of thousands of possible key combinations to all computing devices participating in the network and managing the results generated and returned to the network once you connect again to the internet. As a user, no intervention is required and the software executes as long as it is turned on, even when disconnected from the Internet. By applying our tested platform which uniquely takes advantage of all available computing devices within its community including personal computers, servers and eventually devices like TiVo(tm) and the Xbox?, we are applying massive, cost-effective computing power to drug discovery efforts. Using this computing power, our skilled methodology to identify targets (focusing on both drugability and the target's role in the pathogen's lifecycle) and collaborating with experts in computational chemistry and structure based drug design, the (D2OL)? initiative is working to realize a 10 fold speed increase and 1,000 fold improvement in the accuracy of our drug discovery efforts.
To learn more about D2OL the mission vist THE HOME PAGE where you will find links to many interesting topics related to your project.
To download the D2OL Agent visit THE DOWNLOAD PAGE where you will find downloadable files for each operating system, and instructions on installation.
For a full featured description of the Agent and its inner workings visit the help and support page which graphically and descriptively shows how to use your D2OL Agent.
After installing your D2OL you will want to REGISTER your agents Node to begin getting credit for your work and while there you can JOIN TEAM ANANDTECH!!
Each Node you may want to add can be added easily by MEMBER LOG ON and simply clicking the add node link after you have installed and registered each node using the same user name and login you used for your first node.
And finally enjoy viewing the TeAm STATS PAGE where you can see first hand how many Candidates/Conformers you have completed, your standings on the TeAm, with links to your profile, and links to Top Teams, Top Members, Top Nodes, Top Drug Candidates, broken down to ALL TIME, PAST WEEK, and TODAY. PLUS MUCH MUCH MORE! We Even have a D2OL Forum which you can register for as well and get support for all your needs or to simply discuss the latest.
We welcome all to join our TeAm AnandTech D2OL project and look forward to sharing this great life saving mission with you!
A nice tip for those who have to do an OS reinstall from Andy Jones...Thanks Andy!
To save your node id and stats info copy node.prp and stats.prp from the SengentD2OL\D2OL\res\ folder to somewhere safe, then if you need to reinstall for whatever reason, after reinstallation but before running D2OL copy them back to the same folder.
Just remember, keep a recent copy of stats.prp.
Another tip from TA Andy..
"To check for incomplete files, preferably after hanging up press Alt-F while the dspy window is the active window."
Use this to check for incomplete candidates that can cause D²OL to hang.
