Title: folding@home
Post by: Russian on July 14, 2007, 03:57:41 PM

I remember few years ago Oclub had a group of people running folding@home. Out of those people, does anyone still use it and remember team number? I frequently leave laptop running overnight and I wouldnt mind letting it do charity work.

I remember we used to have a bunch of people that donated CPU cycles to United Devices, but that project ended.  I had not heard of the Stanford project before.  I have been throwing all of my spare CPU time at World Community Grid.

And i have not heard anything of WorldCommunityGrid or its accomplishments.  ;) After looking over their site, unlike Stanford site, there isn't anything detailed posted which makes me a bit skeptical. Also I've never heard of this French University/Company.

btw, to those with PS3, it is possible to do folding@home on it. One cycle will take about 6-8 hours which unlike my laptop that takes 2-3 days.  :cry
