Contributor Tony Nemo Posted January 8, 2010 Contributor Report Share Posted January 8, 2010 Hi Folks, since 2004, I have allowed this organization to use my computer's idle time to fold rice proteins amoung other tasks. This has never given me any problems (I turn it off when working with voxels or rendering cpu demanding stuff). From their annual newsletter: "We had over 71,000 new volunteers join us and together contributed over 97,000 years of computer time. We completed the first phase of three of our projects: Discovering Dengue Drugs - Together, The Clean Energy Project, and Influenza Antiviral Drug Search. We also significantly advanced the research in our other research projects. This is a tremendous accomplishment that we could not have done without your help. THANK YOU!"

philnolan3d Posted January 9, 2010 Report Share Posted January 9, 2010 Interesting. I run Folding@Home on my PS3 whenever I'm not using it. It's nice because the PS3's cell processor is really made for this kind of thing and it just starts up by itself like a screen saver.
