Folding@home
    #5119397 -

I was going through the preferences on my account here and noticed a [Email]folding@home[/Email] username blank.  I put in mine, "Funk", and it says it is invalid.  It just irked me because there's a space for it and I can't get it to work.

Does anyone use [Email]folding@home[/Email] here?  I left mine on while I went on vacation (over a week) and got a bunch of WUs done :wink:

What exactly is [Email]Folding@Home?[/Email]

I'm sure I can find the answer easily, but I'm lazy and want to ask here. :grin:

A program that uses your cpu to fold proteins that universities can use to develope new medicines. I think... hopefuly somebody can say more about it than I can.

the first, stickied thread in the Science and Technology forum:

http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php?Cat=0&Board=Security&Number=2355467&page=0&fpart=1

I should mention that this program uses the LOWEST priority on your system.  That means that pretty much ANY other program that needs CPU power will get priority ahead of [Email]F@H.[/Email] 
Don't make the mistake of not installing it thinking it will 'slow down your system'.  It uses a very tiny amount of memory and does not interfere with your PC whatsoever, since it gives up CPU power to whatever else needs it.

Everyone should be running this.

:sun:

This program uses a series of (what I would assume are highly intensive) equations to predict the way a particular protein will "fold" once it has been synthesized.

Kind of like a fishing expedition. The basic principle is similar to SETI: There's so much freakin data available that it makes use of millions of personal computers to "crunch" it all.

I just started folding. Just wondering if I have to do something to get my folding rate bar thingee under my name?


I still think that folding is a government conspiracy to spy into peoples computers.
