Folding@Home (also known as FAH or F@H) is a distributed computing project designed to perform computationally intensive simulations of protein folding and other molecular dynamics. It was launched on October 1, 2000, and is currently managed by the Pande Group, within Stanford University's chemistry department, under the supervision of Professor Vijay Pande. Folding@home is the most powerful distributed computing cluster in the world, according to Guinness,[1] and one of the world's largest distributed computing projects.[2] The goal of the project is "to understand protein folding, misfolding, and related diseases."[3]

Accurate simulations of protein folding and misfolding enable the scientific community to better understand the development of many diseases, including Alzheimer's disease, BSE (mad cow disease), cancer, Huntington's disease, cystic fibrosis and other aggregation-related diseases. [2] More fundamentally, understanding the process of protein folding — how biological molecules assemble themselves into a functional state — is one of the outstanding problems of molecular biology. So far, the Folding@home project has successfully simulated folding in the 5-10 microsecond range — a time scale thousands of times longer than it was previously thought possible to model.[4] The Pande Group goal is to refine and improve the MD and Folding@home DC methods to the level where it will become an essential tool for the MD research. [5] For that goal they collaborate with various scientific institutions. [6] As of December 13, 2007, fifty-four scientific research papers have been published using the project's work.[7] A University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign report dated October 22, 2002 states that Folding@home distributed simulations of protein folding are demonstrably accurate.[8]

On September 16, 2007, the Folding@Home project officially attained a performance level higher than one petaFLOPS, becoming the first computing system of any kind to do so, although it had briefly peaked above one petaFLOPS in March 2007.[9][10]. In comparison, the fastest supercomputer in the world (as of November 2007, IBM's Blue Gene/L supercomputer) peaks at 478.2 teraFLOPS (1000 teraFLOPS=1 petaFLOP).

Okay in case you guys don't know what the deal is and want a short explanation. Download the program and enter in your Team # let the program run in the background, it wont affect anything.

It basically just processes information that can help lead to the cure of diseases and such. It's a good cause. It keeps team stats so we can see what the entire board is contributing, cool right? So go download the program and start folding.

God damn it! I just joined another team!

Sorry guys, I have folded for MR2Board before tho.

TheAmazingDave · 01-11-2008, 01:41 PM

I may have another computer to set up. If so, it will be for mr2.com

Gairloch · 01-15-2008, 04:08 AM

I've got it all installed and plugging away!

wagonis · 01-22-2008, 01:45 AM

I'm at work right now and can't download, but will do so later this morning when I get back to the hotel...so consider me part of the team too.

Gairloch · 01-22-2008, 05:18 AM

I've got my box pluggin' away at it.

wagonis · 01-22-2008, 05:30 AM

Okay, I'm online and working now.

25 wu completed and counting!

mr2magic · 03-29-2008, 03:47 PM

Joined! And now doing quad core atomic origami lol

You've already passed me. Wow my box is wussy.

That's actually on my laptop...this little XPS kicks ass!

P.S. I'm up to 26 as of a few minutes ago.

Gairloch · 03-30-2008, 12:11 AM

Oh sure, rub it in

wagonis · 03-30-2008, 12:12 AM

Heehee

mr2magic · 03-30-2008, 05:31 PM

1st workunit done! Watch out wagonis i'm haulin a$$

wagonis · 03-31-2008, 08:52 PM

Keep coming man, I'll try to slow down for you...

P.S. 28 wu done.

mr2magic · 04-02-2008, 12:45 PM

If I could just figure out how to use one app per core I would have had you already LOL

Oh just so you know WU 4 done :O) ( I had the large WU active, now I'm really rockin))

mr2magic · 04-20-2008, 04:22 PM

hey wagonis you scared yet??

I finally got round to using two VM and installing a 64 bit linux on each. I've started the smp client using two cores on each of these VM and am now pushing 3000+ points a day

you have been pnwed

All in the best possible taste and for a most honorable cause of course!!
