You can do something nice for the holiday. And its free too.. no money required.

 

Donate your idle computer cycles to science. Stanford's Folding@Home project uses your computer to help simulate protein folding.

Every good community has a team. So join our SW:Rebellion Network Folding Team - team# 96904

You can install it no matter what operating system (Windows / Linux / even PS3...). Just install a client and let it go.

Good to know, I used to have it running on my linux box, but that is sorta in pieces right now

Some people seem to have it working

Can't wait for their better GPU clients though. Then we'll see some better numbers. Donate your not-playing-games time to Folding!

Now Nvidia users can add their video cards to the Folding@home project. We know you're not spending all that time playing games with your video card. Use its processing power for a worthy cause.

 

Nvidia Folding@home beta client

 

Requirements: A Nvidia 8000/9000 series card (all those support Cuda which this client uses).

Reports of 8800 GTs that can go up to 4000 PPD (points-per-day), that beats the pants out of all other clients.

I guess this my update for June. Our team score right now is 188203 with 176 WU.

Our team ranking is 4303 of 126821. (Up another 2000!)

 

If you add your Nvidia card, we can reach our current point value in only 47 days! Another month and a half to double what we've contributed so far. Multiple people contribute, we can easily reduce that by multiple factors. Let's see how far our team can rank up.
