zB Folding@Home Team

Hostile · 05-21-2008, 11:21 AM

I have started a zB Folding@Home team. Folding@Home is a distributed computing project that uses spare computing power on personal computers to fold proteins. Folding proteins allows scientists do analyze how they fold. This is essential to understanding diseases like Alzheimer's, Mad Cow (BSE), CJD, ALS, Huntington's, Parkinson's disease, and many Cancers and cancer-related syndromes. All you have to do is download a simple piece of software that runs on your computer and works in the background. It does not slow down your computer because if you are using your PC resources for something the folding client will use less power. You can read more about the project at http://folding.stanford.edu

OUR TEAM NUMBER IS 128181

Input the above team number in your client configuration to donate points to the zB team.

Types of Clients

Standard CPU - Most people should use this client, if you have dual core, run one for each core.

SMP Client - Run this if you have a very fast dual core that runs 24/7 or if you have a quad core processor, this will gain more points.

GPU2 Client - Run this if you have a ATI Radeon 2xxx series or 3xxx series graphics card, this gains a lot of points as well.

CPU and SMP clients are also available for Mac and Linux, GPU clients are not.
Feel free to send me a private message if you have any questions.

Reply here if you are participating with our team to give me an idea how many people are. Thank you

I got my first fold the other day! lol took forever.

Gregory · 05-22-2008, 12:28 PM

I started folding a few days ago, I have yet to appear on the team stats page.

Hostile · 05-22-2008, 06:12 PM

Just keep chugging along guys, as soon as you finish one you'll appear on the stats, and every unit counts =)

Hmm... I would have to try this again, but on another computer that actually has gfx

Hostile · 05-24-2008, 10:21 PM

Zombii, the computer doesn't have to have fast gfx to fold if that's what you mean.

Superaison · 05-25-2008, 10:19 PM

I'm in this!

I'll run it on this crap eMac I have LOL.

Runnin on my current pc + 24/7 on this eMac, however, MS should really write something like this for the 360...I think there is something like this on the ps3...dislike the ps3 however.

Hostile · 05-26-2008, 02:52 AM

Yeah the PS3 is very powerful for folding. The 360 would be too, idk why there isn't one. Thank you for participating, look for your name in the stats once you complete a unit.
