Folding@Zelaron (Cure Cancer with your computer!)

Skurai, go read the first post.

Also, I just turned it on. It's a bit insane.... maxed out my CPU and GPU power instantly. Clearly I should be running this when I'm not on the computer.

I'm pretty sure you can have it run in the background and use resources based on your other use. It basically detects when you are idle and runs then, IIRC.

I can't find such a option though everything I do seems to run fine so I believe it is simply using up whatever processing power isn't being used by other applications.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure it does it by default. If nothing else, you could pretty easily set it up to automatically run at certain hours just using Windows scheduling features.

How the fuck am I on this list? Did you pull it from somewhere? I don't use Folding@home, or at least I used to with my PS3.

I just pulled the information straight from here -> http://fah-web.stanford.edu/cgi-bin/...teamnum=143204

Anyone know if the protein folding has led to anything? I've been folding every year since 2012 about 3 times out of the year for about a month each time. So I would like to see some reassurance that it's not just a waste of the electricity which is expensive here.

It's more like populating an information data bank for researchers to (freely) utilize than actually solving specific problems. The folding itself isn't likely to accomplish anything, it's the research and the researchers who use the data that will accomplish that.

I failed here. I didn't even think about checking Wikipedia.

However, I understand what you mean. I suppose I'll keep folding then as there's nothing wrong with a large bank of data for scientists.
