Folding

[[SD]Master_Wong]

Some of you will know already what folding is but for those who dont its simple creating proteins in 3d space on your computer for medical science. essentially creating a supercomputer to render these complex imagines to help us understand and hopefully cue dieseases

Anyone can fold even on a laptop iv only just started myself but to do it simply download the client from here

And your good to go.

If anyone is interested iv started a suddendeath gaming group
team id: 201654, good to see what we can do

post your usernames here so we can see each others progress

PS3 has this built right in.

Use to do this for EOCF (extreme overclocking forum) under the name Somebodynew. At one time I was the top producer for the team with around 10k ppd. I don't know what I'm ranked on the team now... haven't folded in a long time. At one point I had several dedicated machines. It can get addicting.

Now that I split my electricity bill with 3 other people I can't fold.

I have f@h running at certain times a day, with my fermi gpu3 client and and my cpu client. I produce 100 wu a day, I could spit out more, but I actually use my pc

So you leave this program run on your computer, use your electricity, and it'll help towards w.e this thing is?

The best way I can help cure diseases so its a no brainier for me

Basically it uses the combined processing power of all computers/ps3's that are hooked up, to create a sort of super computer that'll help them solve various things.

And how much cpu/ram etc does this use?

Any idle cpu cycles it can grab. Memory isn't usually a problem.

Used to do f@h and seti@home a few years ago. Haven't done any wu's for years.

My laptop is always doing something, unless it registers idle as in cpu usage lower than xx%? o.O

100 WU a day? I downloaded this program, but I can't get it to take more than 12% of my CPU, even if I want. Maybe I sat it up incorrectly?

there are high performance folding programs if you look out for them

I believe I joined your group. Can't find myself on the group list yet, but maybe I'll just have to wait a day or two

Yeah, unless things changed a lot both f@h and s@h would max out both cores of a dual-core Athlon. This was about 6-7 years ago though, I introduced everyone I know to folding once I got tired of seti@home. I believe we have a better chance of curing cancer or Alzheimer's or other diseases than finding extraterrestrial life.
