Folding @ Home

[Thermodyne]

This post is a blatant attempt to recruit some new folders.

Folding at home is a distributed computing project that helps with the fight against cancer and many other diseases by folding protiens. The Folding at home client can be downloaded from http://www.stanford.edu/group/pandeg.../download.html

Three weeks ago some of my pals over at Sharkys Forums started a little Folding @ Home team. We started out in 34149th place. In three weeks we have climbed into 757th place and are shooting for 500th place by the end of the month. We are the fastest climbing team out of all F@H teams! We need your help! If you want to help us, or you just want to help fight cancer, we need your CPU.

Those of you who would like to join the quest can do so with ease. Just DL the client and install it. Enter a user name and use 34149 for the team name. When you turn in your first unit, you’ll be added to the Sharkys team. The team stats can be viewed at http://folding.stanford.edu/cgi-bin/teampage?q=34149


The Thermolian data systems are doing well. How would your systems stack up? Come on over and have a little fun for a good cause.
