What is Folding@Home, then?
Folding@Home is a distributed computing project which studies protein folding, misfolding, aggregation, and related diseases. We use novel computational methods and large scale distributed computing, to simulate timescales thousands to millions of times longer than previously achieved. This has allowed us to simulate folding for the first time, and to now direct our approach to examine folding related disease. Ok, enough of the facts! If you want to get involved, then you need to at least download the client. http://folding.stanford.edu/download.html Myself, I’ve gone with the console client, because it uses less resources to show you the pretty stuff and more to do the crunching! Plus, I can run it as a service if I want to (more on that in a minute) Majorgeeks.com is a team on the Folding@Home website, and you can see our stats here: http://vspx27.stanford.edu/cgi-bin/…e&teamnum=12072 If you do get the console version, then you might want to see whats going on. A great program to d
