Basically, cloud computing, instead of room of supercomputers, to assist in medical research to help find why things like Alzheimers and Huntington's disease happen (Misfolding of protein strands) and hopefully help find a way to stop the misfolding, to find a treatment, or even better, a CURE. My niece has a 50% chance of having Huntingtons, her mother is currently slowly dying from it, so I accept packets of data for my computer to process & send back to Stanford. You can help too. Anyone can.
it doesnt do anything with gaming pcs. it deals with pcs in general and Ps3's. Folding @ Home basically sends tons of problems out to many different pcs at once, your pc or ps3 then figures the problem out, and sends it to stanford university. In turn they figure out how to prevent illnesses and what causes them. Basically it uses many computers like a super computer to figure out tough problems to help prevent illness.
On the PS3 does it give you a "Legend" That tells what each of the atoms are, such as Sulfur, Carbon etc..? 'Cuz I can't find it, and I want to know what some of them are and tell show people who have no clue about it.
When atoms bond to each other covalently to form proteins, they usually have dipoles. Dipoles are electrically charged ends that are + or -. This causes parts of the protein/molecule to be attracted to other parts, creating a folding motion. Basically, proteins twist around because the dipole ends are tugging on each other.
@asdfxyz1 To function correctly, a protein needs to arrange itself into a 3D shape. It can do this while it is being made in the ribosome. This arrangement process is called "folding", and Folding@home simulates it. Sometimes, a protein can, for various reasons, mess up and fold incorrectly, and if the body doesn't know how to correct this problem the protein can cause all sorts of diseases. I'd recommend you read the Folding@home article on Wikipedia.
I just joined team 79621. When I click on folding at home it says it doesn't work on this architecture. Also i don't get that viewer. All I hear is my CPU running Faster. Can someone please help? I have it installed on Mac OS X Leopard. And I have an Intel Core 2 Duo.
1 Billion work units completed, and gaining momentum. Join us. Or just fold. Either way, you are part of one of the worlds most powerful supercomputers...
...And you could possibly be folding for the cure that keeps you, or someone you know, from dying from a horrible disease.
Hell, you might even be saving your own children from a life of horrible pain and suffering!
Why doesn't everyone jsut MAKE ONE GROUP AND ALL JOIN IT! That way we can be like one SUPER SUPER SUPER SUPER SUPER SUPER x10000000000000000000 computer and find cures and make microsoft look like money hungry fukers :D I'm gonna joun 110397 I think we should just all do that. I'm not part of the group yet lol :P
It all goes to the same research... The different clients turn out different types of research though. For example the PS3 or GPU clients will use different types of calculation (implicit) vs the CPU client (explicit). Currently the GPU/PS3 is actually doing the most important type of calculations.
i dont get how it works we log on and they get computing power but i dont get how it wud be easier for them if they had super computer to do the stuff there rather than me downloadin sommin or other
@iaevilmonkey Folding@home has only recently been barely beaten by a supercomputer, one that studies oil research and whatnot. Folding@home has for years been 2-3 times faster than a supercomputer, which are expensive and often shared between many research groups. Distributed computing is a really great solution actually, because donors upgrade their hardware and the Pande Group doesn't have to pay for the computer's electricity and whatnot

The most needed part for gaming pc is of course the grafics card! And to compute as fast as you can,you need grafics card for folding or a good cpu!
