Hi all, for those who have some spare CPUs and might want to donate them to the FAH project, I hacked a little setup script with which you get the FAH client running on you LFS box.
FAH provides data packages on which some calculations has to be performed. Actually, the project provides data to analyze protein structures which might be helpful to fight the currently well-known (or sadly not known) corona virus. Providing the data to many computers the sum is more powerful as being a super computer. Everyone to decide for your own whether this is helpful or not - but i think if there is chance, we should take it... FAH client is provided as a binary only but its statically linked so nearly everything the client needs is on board. Installing the client is not really invasive - just two binaries in /usr/bin and some stuff in /usr/share. The attached script sets the client up ready to run. You might want to have a look into the script first as there are three parameters to set for your environment. Happy folding ;-) -- Thomas (running two VMs with 4 CPUs each for FAH)
