You got 1$ every time space core said space :)
but srsly, how much did this cost, and was it worth it?
-
@mauleriscool yes but you should consider Flops/watt perfromance and then you will realise that Cell broadband engine is a powerful beast, plus you can also add to that that this cpu is based on the 90nm process unlike your GPU

@DSRvmv111 It's a thing called Folding@home where powerful computers (or low computers, doesn't matter, just a bunch of guys with high hardware do it a lot), fold proteins for stanford medical research and guys like me love gaining points.

Folding @ Home is a project to study protein folding. when it goes wrong protein folding is implicated in many ailments like altzheimers, and many cancers. People build these uber-powerful number crunchers and donate their runtime to the F@H system that is the world most powerful computing system. Basically it's how nerds do charity :)

what is folding points ?
-
Where did you get the money for all of this? what is your occupation?

@dawidow987654321 what the heck.
-
@danthemanzizzle My has only 64 cores @ 1,5 GHz :(
-
@tronulu stanford has clients for both gpu and cpu which are downloaded separately.
Well ps3's make around 1,000-1,200 folding points a day.
A 9800gt graphics card make around 4,000-5,000 points a day.

but 1 Nvidia 9800gt can fold better then like 5 ps3s.
