Official PS3indians Folding@home Team-82598

[KnackChap]

What is Foldig@Home?

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 simulations. 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 S. Pande. Folding@home is one of the largest distributed computing projects.[1] The goal of the project is "to understand protein folding, misfolding, and related diseases."[2]

 

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

 

How to join?

Click triangle when running the folding client and select Identity. There you can choose a name and a team,add ps3 indians id number.you are now officially in the team

PS3Indians Team NO-82598

 

Tip: if you are dowloading a certain file from the PSN store ,set it to the background and start folding@home that way both tasks will be completed and you'll be contributing to the society.

 

PS3indians folding@home stats

[KnackChap]

Added team no and team stat page.

 

Stop complaining and start FOLDING

[Xeno]

wow,this is gr8,i guess ill but da ps3 then

[KnackChap]

u dlded the pc version,dunno much about it.

when u get the ps3 version add the no and you'll be in the team,start downloading a file and then run folding@home ,both tasks will keep running

[KnackChap]

Just let the client run in the background,the stanford server will automatically send you a task. Btw if the pc client users can join our team ,then add the pc link at the main post

[Tool]

im in too...

just signed up with the Team

so far done 7 units.

[CarbonCore]

Bump..

 

Now that there are more PS3 owners here, you guys can join the ps3indians team if you fold frequently.

ps3 on 400+ hrs

[CarbonCore]

Actually I haven't updated it in a while, its well over 500 hrs. I haven't turned it off for last 25 days and set F@H to automatically start after 10 mins of inactivity, so the poor thing is either playing games/movies or chugging proteins, non-stop.

[Hot-Drake-Pixel]

Didnt know if this existed.

 

PS3Indians Team NO-82598, here I come.

[ayush12ice]

waitin for a shock smiley from a only 360 owner

[GamerZ-Cloud Strife]

:shock3: u got it

[Hot-Drake-Pixel]

Joined the Team. Comon people, join here for a good cause.

[nameless]

^ Already Joined.

 

Joined before you. :tongue4:

[Hot-Drake-Pixel]

But my name does not show up there.

[HundredProofSam]

i havent been contributing to it...will start again soon

 

 

 

peace

[nameless]

But my name does not show up there.

 

I think it takes some time...They update the score and stuff once a day.

Took abt a day for my name to appear.
